Persia's visit, when that monarch went
with the then Prince of Wales round the
assembled vessels, brought another fact
home to the mind of our future king.
Wood was going: iron was coming, as the
material for constructing warships. The
wooden walls of Nelson's days had
nearly all passed away. and. the royalties
present at that review In 1873 saw the
new style of ship in its infancy.
The year 1873 witnessed a fine review.
which was memorable because the late
queen for the first time saw the new
''turret" vessels. eight of them. the latest
and greatest wonders OF her magnificent
navy.
The anniversary reviews of 1887 and
1897, when Britain all over the world
went wild with Joy at the coronation
jubilee of the late queen, will still be
fresh in many minds. That 1897 review.
with the greatest fleet the world had ever
seen up to then-168 ships of every class
brought from everywhere in the world to
greet the queen Of the diamond jubilee
was a marvellous lesson to friend and
foe all over the world.

American Fire Fighters.


Suddenly the alarm bell rang and be-
fore looked round again, seemingly by
gic. but in reality by electricity. the
halters fell from the horses heads and.
to my surprise, without any one being
near them, they rushed to their places
at the shaft of the engine. There were
manholes in the ceiling. through which
brass rods were suspended vertically.
Down these slid half-dressed men. who
seemed to turn a somersault into their
clothes during the descent onto the en-
CINE. The harness suspended above the
horses dropped onto their backs. and
in an instant they were in the street, the
engine manned, the fire ablaze and away
the horses raced. Suddenly a whistle
from the captain stopped them. It was a
false alarm given for my edification
Before the engine was back in the sta
ton I was conducted by the captain into
the dormitory, where l concealed myself
under bed. Without a grumble the men
came up and literally walked out of their
clothes. for boots, pants and everything
are all of one piece. These they opened
carefully. laid them ready by the side of
their beds and very soon were all snoring,
fast asleep.

The World to the short-sighted.

From Strand Magazine.
The common opinion regards shortsight
as an ailment which merely prevents due
recognition of distant objects. It Is not
realized that much more Is involved than
this, Our limited range OF vision gives
us not only q circumscribed but also
different view Of our surroundings. Thus,

HISTORIC FLEET REVIEWS
GREAT ENGLISH SEA SPEC
TACLES OF THE PAST.
Queen Elizabeth Inspected Her
Ships at Tilbury-Henry VIII
Reviewed War Craft.

From London Answers.
recalls some of the most magnificent
spectacles Of days past.
Before the time of the Hanoyerian
regime reviews Of our fighting ships were
few and far between. Elizabeth held a
review Of her ships at Tilbury. when she
gathered her troops there in readiness
for the Spanish invasion by the formid-
able armada. Her father. Henry VIII.
had also once reviewed his scanty array
OF war vessels when his notable ship, the
Great Harry. was added to the number.
and supposed to be the one and only
Dreadnought of its day.
1t was George III who first began the
system of reviews of the fleet as we
know 1t today. He was present at three
such spectacles during his long reign,
and In 1894 there was a mock fight Of
the ships for his benefit. But a review
showing how ships could fight rather
than a display of bunting, illuminations
and festivity. The victory of Trafalgar
first drew general attention to our fleet,
and great review was held in 1914. in
honor of the peace so soon to be broken
This review was to celebrate, too. the
visit OF the allied sovereigns to England,
and was the occasion of a gallant dis
play of ships.
Queen Victoria's First.
George w was present at two reviews
during his ten years occupancy of the
throne, though neither Of them was par
ticularly famous either for number Of
vessels attending or for any striking incl
dents.
1t was Queen Victoria who gave the re-
view Of the fleet its greatest Specification
in modern times. In 1912 she held her
first review, with the Prince Consort and
1t is noteworthy that nearly every ship
she saw at that time was after the pat
tern Of the old Victory, moored close by
the place where the review was. Steam
was used in the navy at this time, but by
far the greater proportion of Warships
still depended on the wind for motive
power.
There was a naval demonstration in
1874 in honor Of the visit Of King Louis
Philippe. who was accompanied by a
French squadron
that the late queen for the first time in
history saw navy that was independent
OF sails and wind for it's progress Tho
screw propeller, too. had actually on
peared on some vessels by this date. And
it Is worth mentioning that the nresamt
king accompanied Queen Victoria at the
review, and saw his future fleet for the
first time. o
"God Speed!'
"A striking spectacle was that of March
10, 1854, when the late queen reviewed the
Meet going out to actual fight in the
Crimean war. Her majesty. In the royal
mel. and there babe the departing ships
God speed amid terrific cheering by the
sailors.

The question of food and drink fc' hot weather is an important one. While strength must be kept up. heat ing foods should be tabooed as well as those that tax too much the strength and energies of the cook. The fireless cooker can be depended upon to do yOeman service in the way of stews. soups, cereals, while on days when you have to have fire anyhow, the cas- serole can be pressed into service with eminently satisfactory results to all concerned

Now place the steak in the casserole which should have been thoroughly heated. pour vegetables and gravy over it and set the dish in the oven to heat for about five minutes. Sprin- kle a little fine cut parsley over the steak and serve.
 Corn and Green Peppers En Casserole.

Arizona republican., 1909-08-15

Peel five or six bananas. scrape off the coarse threads. and cut the ba nanas in halves lengthwise and then again in halves crosswise. Put into a casserole.

Brinkley, March IT, Late yes terday afternoon Mayor T. H. Jackson issued an official state ment of the disaster at Brinkley. He said that the number of dead bodies recovered from the wreck age was s, and that over POO were more or less seriously injured. Not home or a business house in the city escaped without damage. The entire business 'istriCt, he says, was destroyed, only three building left standing.
 Tn response to many offers of assistance I would suggest" says Mayor Jackson, flor immediate temporary relief, furniture, some bedding, blankets, tarpa ulins, shingles and other roofing material be sent US. The latter is in urgent demand because there is not dry roof in the city to protect the wounded and homeless. In the way of permanent relief, I would say that the greatest benefit could be done our unfortunate people by shipments of building materials, such as lumber, shingles, roofing, brick, sand, etc.
 Both the Rock Island and Cot ton Belt railroads have agreed to bring to our relief all consignments of this or any other nature free of charge. An executive committee is in charge of affairs to supervise the distribution of donations. "
 A peculiarly unfortunate feature of the Brinkley disaster is that only one merchant carried tornado in- surance, the balance of the proper ty being unprotected. This mer' chant, by the way, was practically undamaged by the storm.
 The assessed valuation of the real estate in Brinkley is $3oo, ,ooo the basis, it is said, being 40 pc cent, representing an aggregate valuation of at least S7oo, 900 Conservative estimates are that thu property has been damaged a least 60 per cent, which would rep resent loss by the storm of ap proximately S4oo, ,ooo.

 The bodies were brought bacl last night from Forrest City, wher they were sent the morning afte the cyclone for embalming an' coffins, the only undertaking sho here havinp been deStrOved.

CONWAY GETS
 BIG CONVENTION

Fort Smith, March II.-Special. After a battle royal, in which Delegate R. B. McCulloch covered himself with glory in a great ora torical effort, Conway was this af- ternoon selectedas the next meet ing place for the state convention of the Woodmen of the World and Woodman Circle of Arkansas. Although Pine Bluff, Little Rock and several other places made strong bids for the meeting, Con- way was an easy winner, receiving almost So per cent of the vote cast.
 The next state meeting of the Woodmen will be held in the sec ond week in March, 1911, the ses- sions being held only every two years. Nearly 800 delegates are in attendance at the present meet ing at Fit. Smith and, as Conway is so much more centrally located, fully 1000 will doubtless attend the the pext meeting. Conway, how ever, is amply able to care for that number, having entertained the Baptist state convention with an attendance of about 1900 several years ago.

NEW PROFESSOR
 FOR THE NORMAL

In addition of the election oi Prof. R. E. Womack to the chair on history yesterday,..th executive board of the State Normal School elected Prof. B. B. Mooney of Tennessee as an additional mem Der of the faculty. The necessity for another teacher is occasioned by the formation of special classes for those teachers desiring to do review work in grammar sch ool studies preparatory to the June examinations. These classes were formed at the beginning of the third term this week.
 Prof. Mooney has had about IS years experience in teaching. He was formerly member of the fac ulty of the Louisiana Industrial Institute at Ruston, and more re- gently taught in Central High School at Shreveport, from which place he came to Arkansas a few months ago.
 Prof. w. J. Sowder, whom Prof. Womack succeeds, left last night with his family for Maryland, where he has accepted position in the state agricultural college.
