Nicolas Flannel first appears as a sworn

1888. He was poor. He had no means OF
making money. Yet, suddenly, in 1860
Nicolas Flannel quit his poor student
lodgings for a mansion built on his own
plans. In 1t he gave free board and lodg-
ing to a band of chosen students. and the
secret luxury in which they lived for years
remained a marvel to the old Parisians.
Time passed. Nicolas Flannel outlived
his students. In his extreme old age he

Certainly. the renaissance came after

In either case. where would Nicolas

The standard in England is rigid. and
an improvement once gained is held !:
therefore It may be expected that in the

This superiority in destroyers has only

navies.
For Sea Supremacy.
But not for long does Johnny Bull let
himself to trail on any matter relating to
his beloved navy. The fastest destroyers
in the world is the reply to the taunt.
The aim of Great Britain to improve on
what is already the worlds best navy has
been the policy that has steadily ruled
since the days OF wooden ships that won
the victories which gave the tight little
isle its controlling place In the worlds
destinies.
Comparing the present establishments
of England and Germany il will be seen
that even il the work Of naval construc.

of the world for not less than a decade.
At tine end of the fiscal year. March I.
England will have in active commission
and in first-class shape forty-four modern
battleships against Germany's twenty.
thirteen older battleships against the
fatherlands twelve, fifty-eight modern
cruisers against Germany's eight. seven
ty-eight modern protected cruisers against
Germany's twenty-nine, seventeen Of the
older protected cruisers against Ger

stroyers against Germany's seventy-one.
one hundred and four modern torpedo
