OIL IN THE BRITISH NAVY.


The British navy was the first to
employ oil as a fuel in connection with
coal OIL is used in all the newer bat
tIeships and soon will probably be
of 100000 tons a year OF the
worlds output of oil the British en-
pire's proportion is a scart per cent,
while American production is about 81
per cent. close on two-thirds Oh the
whole These figures show how abSo-
lutely Great Britain is dependent In
this respect on foreign countries, and
particularly on the United states ana
how the increasing use o foil In Eng
iSh battleShipS must rest largely on
contracts entered into in this country.
AS marked as the dependence Of the
British navy on American oil is the de-
pendence of the British army on
American meat Just as the British
navy is dependent on the Standard Oil
company and the British army on the
Chicago stock yards, so Is the British
civilian public dependent, despite India
and Canada, on the Minnesota and Da-
kota wheat fields and the Chicago
Board of Trade. The British empire
is a bulky body, but it rests precari-
ously on a slender base.-Chtcago Rec

dictator, since 1877.
Santa Ana, the other Grand Ola
Man, of Mexico's national history,

the United States. Here the pen Is
mfghtier than the sword. But in Mex
leo conditions are different. The poll
tfcian who is a power must be able to
do actual campaigning. Considering
that fact tho long life of Santa Ana,

may be regarded as rather remark
able.-Brooklyn Eagle.
