go to almost any extreme in matters that
appeal to her pride and Imagination.
So it seems reasonable to surmise that
in the end the Notifications at PanamI
will be such as the world has never be-
fore known. The Notifications at Gibral-
tar will become unimportant in compari-
son. Those at Alden, Arabia, will be as
a single fort touching single ocean as
conn AIRED with a series of forts COM
manding the greatest Of trade routes Of
the two greatest oceans.
If the strongest of naval forces of the
Pacific should attempt to attack fra---
ment of our navy at Balboa. the Pacific
terminus of the canal. the guns of the
coast defense could hold that navy at
bay until other battleships were brought
through the canal. They could hold the
attackers at arms length until the Ameri-
can navy could form in battle array and
sally forth prepared to give an excellent
account of itself. The same thing would
be true If the attack were made on the
Atlantic side with the process reversed.
In days time a fighting fleet could he
transferred from one ocean to the other.
At the great dry docks that are to be
built at either end any American vessel
disabled might be repaired. Under the
guns Of the forts shattered fragments OF
a fighting navy might reassemble, reform
and sally forth to fight again. Indeed.
Panama gives promise Of being developed
into a fighting base such as the world
has never seen before, nor is likely TO
know in the future. The policy has been
laid down and but time is needed In its
working out.

Of the vessel. Guns on shore are mounted
much more heavily and therefore have
more strength and accuracy in their dis
charge. Their bases are perfectly sta
tionary and the chance Of hitting an OBJ
ject is greatly increased. Their reserve
of gunners and ammunition is unlimited
and out of danger. To silence single

would be a dangerous undertaking for
the most powerful navy afioat today.
There are two styles Of guns that are
the main dependence of the coast de-
Tense. These are the great fourteen-inch
guns and the rifled mortars. The four
teen-inch gun adapted to coast defense
is the most powerful implement of war
known. The missile that IT. discharges
weighs $40 pounds. 1t would be good
load for two horses to drag. 1t is a
steel jacket with most powerful explo-
sives inside. The gun is of such strength
as to throw this missile a distance of ten
miles. An object the size Of battleship
can actually be hit at that distance. Re-
cent experiments have shown that these
guns can shoot holes in sheets of steel
twelve inches thick. The Navy Depart
ment recently set up such sheets at

especially by the Botanic Garden at Ber-
lin. to import and propagate the Ameri-
can oak. but failure was the result of
every experiment Finally, on a visit to
the German capital Supt Smith heard the
story Of failure from the lips of the
superintendent of the garden in that city
and determined to Investigate. He found
that when the acorns where packed for
shipment the roots were knocked off or
en- route they were rubbed off by the mo-
ton of the ship. This, he was sure, was
the reason why the German superin-
tendent had not been successful in his
efforts to raise the American oak, SO at
the government garden he propagated a
number of seeding trees and sent them to
Berlin. The experiment worked perfectly
and now the great trees are "naturalized"
and adding to the beauty of the capital of
the German empire.
Every spring, when the crowds that visit
the gardens begin to increase, they find
something new to marvel at, and this
statement is especially true this season.

Military authorities today declare that
the coast defense is the most impregnable
Of all Notifications. Hours of heavy bonn
harding from powerful navy should
have little effect upon it, while in re-
turn the probabilities are that it would
send many battleships to the bottom.
The mainstay of the coast defense is
the disappearing gun. Those to be used
at Panama are to be of fourteen-inch cal
iber. They will be placed back of forti-
ffcations which are nothing less than
mountain ridges, for the coast defense
station is sunken. underground at the

guns, are all underground with many

H0tbed Hints.

THIS month should see the amateur
gardeners hotbed prepared and
planted with flower and vegetable seed In
preparation for his seasons work.
A hotbed is made by tramping down
two feet of fresh manure. covering the
area for which a glass lid is available.
Put few inches of soil over the manure,
and after the first intense heat has
passed seed may be sown.
The glass should be raised to give air
on all fine days when the weather Is
warm, and the bed must be kept moist.
BY sowing pinch Of lettuce seed every
ten days a succession Of salad can be
produced for the table before the outdoor
garden begins to bear. but the chief use
of the hotbed is to prepare plants for set
ting out when danger of frost is past.
Beets, broccoli, all the cabbage family.
caulifower ceeriac, lettuce, onion, pars-
ley, squash and tomato seed may be
sown in preparation for the vegetable
garden.
Watch the temperature of the air with
i'm the hotbed and also the temperature
of the soil. Better use two thermometers,
one for the air and the other for the
soil.
