force that ever entered this port.
Not more than 100 Chinese guests
were admitted to the grounds on
which the celebration planned for the
reception Of the American officers and
sailors was held, and resentment at
the severe measures to exclude the
natives was the cause Of the apathy.

theoretically. that does no; signify
that he IS killing himself by over

plodding Foreigners and the energetic
Americans is due largely to climatic

address in New York last Friday,
that climatic conditions are responsi.

1t would appear probable that the
design is to unite the Atlantic and
Pacific fleets, either Mt some point on
cur own coast or perhaps for the voy-
age across the Pacific. If that is done,
there will be assembled n fleet of
eighteen battleships and eight armor-
ed cruisers, or 26 modern armorclai
war vessels. and 1t will present such
n naval spectacle rs never was seen
before In Pacific waters, If anywhere
on the globe.
When the start for home is finally
made. however. 1t would be n natural
plan TO rearrange the two fleets some
what with view to strengthening
the Pacific fleet in battleships If, for
example. 1t should be decided to leave
the third division. consisting of the
Minnesota of 10000 tons and the Ohio.
the Maine and the Missouri of 12,501
tons each. the places of these ships
could be filled when the fleet reaches
home by the three ships Just placed
in commission and one of the old re
serve ships This would leave the
strength of the Atlantic fleet undi.
unfinished, while the Pacific fleet would
have six modern battleships and one
old one. The Pacific feet would not
then be quite equal to that of Japan,
but nearly SO, since many of Japan's
twelve battleships are repaired Rus,
sian vessels. But three new ones
lave been built since the close of the
war with Russia. 1t IS not desirable,
however to maintain in the Pacific n
fleet so large that t would appear
menacing. Seven battleships and six
or eight armored cruisers should be
enough,-Buffalo Express.

LgNrEN INTERSECTION.

There Is no better time for intro.
snection than during the Lenten sea-
son. While taking religious and
spiritual inventory of himself. every
individual should also consider
whether he can prolong his days by y
closer observance of rules OF health.
Americans are charged constantly by
visitors from other lands with being
too active and inclined to hurry them
selves into their graves by leading n
too strenuous existence. During Lent
there Is ample time for all, because
OF the abandonment of all gayeties. To
look into this matter and ascertain
whether or not there has been intem-
perate living and hard enough work
to shorten the tenure of life.
Has there not been really much ex-
aggeration in the statement that
Americans are shortening their exist

work? Some physicians are perform

which causes depreciation of the
