BUILDING
UP-T0-DATE NAVY
SOME OF HER NEW WARSHIPS-
ADOPTS AMERICAN IMPROVE
MENTS.
AIENTS

Spain is making rapid progress with
the rebuilding of her navy. The ex-
penditure of about $7O.OOOOOO authoriz-
ed by the Cortes last year. is being
laid out to cover a construction pro-
gram of six years. 1t comprises eight
IA, OOO-ton battleships nine cruisers and
several smaller vessels. Half the ships
must be built in Spanish yards, and
besides the construction now unde'
way a complete reorganization and
equipment of the arsenals, docks and
yards at Ferrol, Cadiz and Cartha-
gena has been undertaken. King AL
fonso is an active partizan of the navy
and gives every encouragement to that
branch of the government.
Among other vessels now building
are the Emperador Carlos ", pro-
tected cruiser of 10000 tons three
belted cruisers, Cardinal Cisneros, Ca
taluma and Princess de Asturias, and
the protected cruiser Regenta. A con-
tract which has just been signed in
London for electrical power doors for
the Reina Regenta, now nearing COM
4
pletion at Ferrol, shows that Spain
intends to make her new warships as
up-to-date as possible. Old style bulk
head doors had been provided for but
when the authorities found out about
the new method of closing water-tight
doors by electricity, change was
promptly maze These power doors,
known as the Long Arm" system, are
the invention Of an American naval Of
fcer, and are installed on nearly all
the new ships of the United States
navy. The object is to make ships I'M
sinkable by providing this means Of
closing all their important bulkheads
in time of emergency from an electrical
central station located above decks

battleships, armored cruisers, SO

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

1t was frankly stated by the Mexican
minister of finance, in a speech on Satur-
day, that the government of that country
was prompted to take over the two great
railroad lines of MexicO-the Central and
Nationally the fear that these proper
ties would otherwise be merged into some
Of the great railroad combinations in the
United States. That country, in other
words, did not intend that its transporta-
ton systems should be controlled and OPP
Grated by foreign high fnanciers or for
the benefit of alien monopolists. So we

Many years ago man was wan

woods with an apparently aimless
step and careless vision. He was,
however, a close observer and had
the Ben franklin eve for the prac-
tical and useful. He was not with
out appreciation Of the beauties OF
nature, enjoyed the foliage and
flowers that appeared before him
and listened with pleasure to the
songs Of the birds. The Yankee in
stinct to look for something that
would bring profit was nevertheless
predominant. and under its guidance
he found q grapevine. It was lust
wild, struggling thing. creeping
up the tall oaks or choking the pas
sageway between the dogwoods and
redbuds; the fruit it bore was acid
and gave little promise of CONNER
cial value. The wayside wanderer,
however, dug it up and transplanted
it to his yard. 1t was nursed ten

all things in animated nature, even

cord grape.
