that cost more than 500. 00o. 900, and
unprotected ships THAI cost more than
Sl7l, 100000 all Of which are nov
ssrviceable.
OF ships that are nearly obsolete
the report shows that srmored ships
cost more than $s4. 900. 900, protected
ships more than SIS. 200. 900, aud un-
protected about 100000. There
are in the navy. exclusive Of the last
mentioned, noncombatant ships that
cost more than $4,000, 900. obsolete
vessels that are for sale that cost more
than S2S, 900. 900, aud training and
guard ships that coet more than $64-
100000.
OF the amount spent on comoatant
ships in the British navy more than
$500, 900, 900 has been spent within
the past 10 years. aud Of this last
amount more than $27o,0oo.oo0 has

OLD FRIENDS.

We just shake hands at meeting
With many that come nigh.
We nod the head in greeting
To many that go by.
But we welcome through the gateway
Our few old friends and true;
Their hearts leap up and straightway
There's open house for you.
Old friends,
Wide open house for YOU
The surface will be sparkling,
Let but a sunbeam shine;
But in the deep lies darkling
The true life of the wine.l
The froth is for the many,
The wine is for the few,
Unseen, untouched by any,
We keep the best for you, -
Old friend,
The very best for you.
'"The many" cannot know US,
They only pace the strand
Where al our worst we show US.
The waters thick with sand.
But out beyond the lcaping
Dim surge otis clear and blue
And there, old friends, we're keeping
A waiting calm for you,
Old friends,
A sacred calm for you.

Jonah and the Whale.


While he does not contend that a
whale did actually swallow Jonah,
Prot. Paul Hsupt, of John Hopkins
University, Baltimore, claims that
such thing was possible, and that
those higher critics who ridicule the
legend of the disobedient prophet on
the ground that the statement contain
ed therein is impossible, are wrong.
He says that whales did and do exist
in the Mediterranean, and that the
gullet of any full-grown sperm whale
is large enough to admit man, or
even larger boliss, for that matter,
into its belly. Professor Hsupt took
up the discussion of the Book Of Jonah
and the whale problem in paper he
read before the American Philos ophi-
cal Society at Pailadelphis few days
ago. Professor Haupt said in part :
HorthordoI theologians, who defend
the historical character of the book OF
Jonah, generally suppose that the
great FISH which swallowed Jonah was
a shark. Sharks exist in the Medi.
terranesn large enough to swallow a
man whole. In certain theological
commentaries we find that in 1883 a
sailor fell overheard and was swallow
ed by shark. The captain command
ed to train a gun upon the shark, and
the monster was hit by the cannon ball.
The shark vomited out the sailor, who
was picked up by boat. Hs had
hardly suffered any injury. A sperm
whale might have swallowed the dis.
obedient prophet, but it is, of course,
impossible for Jonah to have been
alive after having been in the belly
Of the whale for three days and three
nights, although it is reported that
James Bradley was, in February, 1891,
swallowed by a whale, and on the
following day he was taken alive from
the whales belly. He lay in swoon
in the whales belly. The sailors had
much difficulty in restoring him to
consciousness. 1t was not until after
three months nursing that Bradley
recovered his reason.
1--WE must assume that the wha ID
swallowed Jonah near Joppa and cast
him ashore at Alexandretto. From
the northeast end of the Mediterra-
mean it was easier for Jonah to pro-
coed to Nineveh, especially when he
went down the Tigris, than it would
have been for him to return to Je-
rusalem. The whale could swim from
Joppa to AleIandretta 10 three days
and three nighte, If Jonah had trsv-
eled overland on horseback it would
have taken him fortnight. The trip
from JOppa to Haiia, which represents
but one-siIth Of the distance from
Joppa or Jerusalem to AleIandretts
requires from two 10 three days. II
would be very easy for sperm whale
to have swallowed the prophet aud to
have carried him this distance and
then have cast him up on the shore
