of her lagnching,n She wass two-thirds

any duty that the country needs of her.
! 1t is pointed out that if she had existed
in the days Of the Infincible Armada she
could have not only destroyed it, but
all the other fleets in the world added

While the latest British ship is 20
feet longer than the Florida and has
practically the same batteries. yet our
ship is stronger in some particulars
The Florida exceeds by 1926 tons the
North Dakota, and is three and one
half feet longer and three feet greater
in beam. Both ships have 10 12-inch
guns, mounted in five turrets on the
center line, but the Florida will have
two more five-inch guns in her sec
ondary battery. While the FlOrida's
contract calls for speed of POTS knots,
it is expected that she will exceed this,
as the North Dakota and the Delaware
did by a knot or more. Her hull is
divided into compartments on an i'm
proved plan which it is thought will
prevent any serious disaster from tor
pedoes. Her motive power will~be
Parsons turbines working on four
shafts and developing $4,000 horse
power. The rapid construction of the
ship has been triumph for Naval Con-
structor William J. Baxter. who laid
her keel March ., 1909.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN-
TJON.

Even in this city OF conventions and
where there are gatherings of import
ance every week in the year, the
Worlds Sunday School Convention held
last week was a notable event. 1t was
notable on account of the great number
of the people of high intelligence and
character which attended. and it was
notable because it assembled here rep
resentatives from nearly every country
in the civilized world The work of
the Sunday Schools is of the highest
importance, as it makes much for the
training of the generation which is soon
to come upon the stage of action and
have the destinies of the world in its
hands. 1t is of great Importance when
it is remembered how the lessons and
directions received in Sunday School in
fiuence the child's life in all that may
come to 1t in after years. The attend
ance upon the Convention was striking
in the intelligence. broad-mindedness
and enthusiasm Of the wen and women.
Wherever they went they breathed the
most wholesome and stimulating spirit
and turned peoples attention to the
higher and better things of life.
The United States leads all other
countries in the number of attendants
upon its Sunday Schools, and the zeal
and ability with which the work ia car
ried on. All who came here gained
increased inspiration for still higher
and better work, and this influence will
extend to foreign lands. because the
delegates from across the seas will go
back to their work greatly heartened
by their Intercourse with the earnest
and able workers in this country.
There was never seen in Washington
more imposing spectacles than the
great gatherings at Convention Hall
and elsewhere and the exalted Christian
spirit of the speeches, addresses and
their enthusiastic reception by the
hearers. Every one in Washington has
the highest praise for the Convention
and a warmer interest in its objects and
accomplishments.

An illustration of the comparative

An illustration of the comparative
mortalitS1 of Northe and Southern
prisons Isl furnished by the statistics in
regard to Johnsons Island. The Con-
federates have had much to say as to
their sufferings and privations in that
prison. But it appears that they were
all comfortably housed in barracks and
each man given tick and blankets for
his bunk. This Is in marked contrast
TO Andersonville. There were altogeth-
er over 10000 Confederates confined on
Johnson's Island. of whom only 220
died.

"Aerodrome" is q new word which
has come to take a permanent place
in our language. Properly speaking,
or a mechanism for flying or gliding on
the air. From aero" we have afr"
and from "dromaeo," swift" or to run.
Our word dromedary comes from this
being a camel intended for rapid travel
and different from the camels used for
freight carrying. DR.. A. Graham Bell
uses theIiword for any flying machine.
while others are using 1t for the build
ing in which the airships are housed.

TAKING SILVER OUT OF POLITICS.

There is a silver movement in the
West with which The National Tribune
is in hearty sympathy. 1t is an or
ganzation of leading men of Colorado
to bring about a greater consumption
of silver by its increased use in house,
hold ware and decorations. This is
logical and sane, and should have the
assistance of every one. 1t is the way
that other business men work to de-
velop the market for their products.
A little of the effort expended in agi-
tating the use of silver would be in
cultivating public taste for toilet and
table articles made of silver and other
uses for the precious metal. If it
should become the fashion for every
family to have a complete set of silver
spoons there would be a greater mar
ket for silver than the mints could
offer. What has made India and China
"the grave of the precious metals is
the fashion there of making anklets and
bracelets for the women of silver. What
did most to depreciate the value of the
metal was that repeated famnes and
shortage of crops compelled the people
to put these ornaments onto the mar
ket. Silver makes a tableware which
tie encouragement would make every
American dining table filed with
articles of the white metal.

C. X. Reifsnider. Commander of Ran
som Post, st. Louis, Mo, wrote a very
earnest letter to the Superintendent of
instruction, calling attention to the di-
versions of Memorial Day from its
proper uses by giving 1t over to picnics
and other amusements. He asked that
those in authority in the public schools
go as far as could be properly done in
the encouragement of any form OF en-
tertainment, picnics, excursions or any
thing else that tended to take away
from the sacred character of the day.
Mr.. Ben Blewett, the superintendent,
replied very acceptably by saying that
he should esteem 1t a privilege to call
the attention of the pupils to the sacri-
flee to duty which the day memorized,
and to urge upon the children rever-
entail regard for the lives that had been
freely given to duty's call

THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH AT ST.
t". CLOUD

The Right Rev. DIR. VIM. C. Gray,
Washington last week. He is deeply
interested, in st. Cloud, which he thinks
one OF the most wonderful communi-
ties he has ever seen, and has been to
| the colony several times, holding SER
vices and doing much for good among
the Episcopalians settled there. There
are probably from 100 to $50 commune
cants, and those who have Episcopal
lleanings in the colony. and a church is
to be built for them.
Rev. D. d. Kidd, a clergyman of
learning and pious zeal, lives at Mar
coossee, and holds services every fifth
Sunday at st. Cloud. He also has
monthly services and services in the
evening during the week. 1t is antici-
pated that he will take up his resi-
dence at st. Cloud and become the
rector of the church. The Seminole
Land and Investment Company has
given the Bishop three fine lots for a
church, with the location of which he
is much pleased.
Bishop Gray Is much interested in
all the people at St Cloud, whom he
finds of an unusually high class, and
takes much pleasure in visiting them
and becoming well acquainted with
them. At his last visit he was much
impressed by Maj. Taft, a veteran 80
years old, who had established a pleas
ant home and works around it daily,
beautifying and improving it. There
are others approaching the same age.
and all feel that their lives have been
heightened by their removal to Florida.

The evidence brought out by the in
vestigations is decidedly against the
bleaching process for -four. While this
may give the -four whittier look, it
destroys TO great extent the sweet
favor and rich aroma OF the bread, and
Is especially noticeable in hot bread
when broken open for use. The
bleached flour always gives dull, life
less color to the bread, which is not

There is nothing more comical than
the after-light which the wreck of the
Zeppelin balloons has thrown upon the
war scare in England. A few weeks
ago men who have shrieks constantly
on tap for any possibility had the Brit
ish public trembling over the possibil-
ity of Germany throwing an army into
England by means of the Zeppelin bal
looms and conquering the right tight
little isle in campaign of a day or
two. Any one who thought for a mo-
ment on this saw the absurdity of such
a proposition. The Zeppelin balloon was
700 feet long by so wide This could
not carry as many as so men. An
invasion of England would not be at
tempted with less than 100000 men:
consequently, it would take at least
1000 balloons to carry that number,
5sith 1000 more to carry their ammuni-
tion and extra supplies needed for
even weeks campaign. Three thou
sand balloons of this size would REQUIRE
years to construct; when built would
cover large portion Of Germany, and
years would be required to train the
men who would manage them. Then
they would be, as the fate of Zeppelin's
airship has proved, subject to all sorts
of accidents from high winds, lightning
and collisions. All military men of to-
day see that the Zeppelin type of an
airship is hopeless for military pur-
poses. 1t is too big. cumbersome. re-
quires too much storage and care, and
is absolutely unreliable for military pur-
poses, since it must encounter the great
est dangers from high winds. lightning,
etc.
