THEY WILL BE BUILT
SPEEDILY

VICTORIA, b. c., Feb. 2S. -- Ad-
vices received from Toxic in today's
mail state that despite the announce
ment made in the japanese Diet that
no new warships would be built this
year, two large battleships exceed
ing the Dreadnought in displacement
and armament, will shortly be laid
down, one at Kure, the other at Ho-
kosuka. Material is now being as
scmbled at those yards. Ocean-go-
ing torpedo boat destroycrs of un-
usually large size are also being
built.
Admiral Baron Saito, in the naval
section OF the budget committee,
shortly before the steamer Monteagle
sailed, reported that new fortifica-
tons were contemplated and two
Korean ports were now being forth
fed. Extensive Notifications are be-
ing built at Ching Hal Wan and
Port Lazarief. He reported that re-
pairs had been almost completed on

renewed. The heaviest guns mount
ed on the ships were originally six
inches of 45-caliber, being replaced
with l0-inch guns of 5O-caliber. In
vestigatlons were under way to test
the suitability of the l3 l-2 inch gun
favored in England.

 When he had thrown away all the cake, he turned and made his way back to the quaint little house, where he had been living with his father and mother for the last six weeks. Since he had landed in Japan he had diligently studied the customs of this interesting people. He even prided himself upon some slight knowledge of the Japanese language. But he didn't know enough about the 'holy" tortoises confined in this pond in Osaka
 ''T1tsu-San. can't you possibly get for me several of those sacred tortoises?" he asked. when he met his little Jap friend that afternoon.

TIrsU-sAN IS TEMPTED

Titsu-San hesitated. His eyes sparkled at the thought that he might become the owner of the magnificent cock the tail of which measured six yards It was a rare bird and valuable one. Titsu- San had often admired 1t. although he had never even dared dream of pos sessiag 1t for his own. Besides. he was always willing to do everything he could for his friend Jack. whom he greatly respected and liked.
 T shall do it. and shall have to say extra prayers and throw cakes to the tortoises for a month to wash away my sin," Titsu-San announced, slowly.
 Jack irnpetuously held out his hand. Good for you. old boy! I knew you'd do ft!" cried he.
 The next day the little Jap appeared with a coarse bag. containing several huge tortoises. Gravely handing the bag to Jack, he departed without a word.
 Jack was delighted with his prizes. which he immediately placed in large stone basin in the garden. And he at once sent the long-tailed cock to Titsu- San. in fulflment of his promise.

Prince's back. Rex wasn't on Princes back very long. for Prince kicked up his heels and flew straight across the, field. When he reached the fence at the other side. over 1t he sailed.
 Then it was that Rex lost his bal ance. He rolled off Princes back. but Tabby was still fast to Rex's back. and the chestnut burr stuck to Tabby. And this is the way they all were until Rex purposeiy ran head first against a tree. Tabby thought 1t best to let go before he reached the tree. So she dropped to the ground and ran away as fast as ever she could.
 Tabby was now off Rex's back, but the burr yet clung to Tabby. The frightened pussy kept on drumming until she came again to where Fred die was standing. Just as she passed Freddie the chestnut burr fell from her coat.
 After waiting so long l shall at last see what is inside tho burrf' Freddie cried.
 So Freddie opened the burr and found inside some fine. big chest nuts.
 And as Freddie munched the chestnuts he said to himself:

Prints of Leaves

VERY accurate and beautiful prints V of leaves may be obtained in the
 following manner: First get sheet of fine writing paper and oil it well with olive oil until the paper has pretty well absorbed the oil Hang the paper in the air to dry until there are no longer any globules. of oil upon 1t. Then move the oiled side of the paper horizontally over the flame of a lamp or candle until you have a smooth. black surface Now lay your leaf carefully and smoothly on this blackened paper. and laying another piece of paper over 1t. rub it carefully and firmly with your finger for about half a minute. Next take the leaf and lay it on the page or sheet of paper on which you want to get your impression: cover 1t with plotting paper and apply gentle pressure as be- fore. If you are careful you will be able to obtain several beautiful impressions from the same leaf.

IVES. it was a chestnut burr,
 sure enough. But were there
 really good chestnuts inside? That was the main thing. Freddie was going to find out.
 And Freddie would have found out. too. had not Tabby made him jump by creeping up without the least noise and then loudly moving. When Freddie jumped he let fall the burr. It landed on Tabby's silken coat and there it chung.
 The chestnut burr was still being carried by Tabby when she spied Rex. Now. whenever Tabby saw Rex. and Rex saw Tabby, Tabby al- ways ran and Rex ran after her. This time Rex seemed to run very fast, indeed. Tabby ran stIll faster. but at last she became tired. And as there were no trees nearby up which she could climb, what do you think she did? Tabby quickly turned ana JuHpeu IlBht uPoh At0A poNN' She dug her claws into his back so far that the poor doggie yelped with pain.
 Now the chestnut burr was on Tabby's back and Tabby was on Rex's back. But Rex was suffering so badly that he really didn't know what he was doing. That is why he gave one big leap and landed fairly on Princes back.
