WE'RE GETTING FATTER.

''Three of my old college classmates" a
physician said. "have turned anti-fat spe-
cialists and are doing well. The anti-fat
specialist, who was unknown ten years
ago, is to-day as recognized figure in
medicine as the eye or lung specialist.
Why?
THE reason is that, thanks to automo-
billing, mankind is growing too fat. There's
nothing. you know, that puts flesh on peo-
pie like daily motor drives.
That swift rush through the keen sweet
air for several hours daily creates an enor-
nous appetite. After 1t you 60 down to

and at a distance OF 5000 yards the shell

But what OF the contrasting li-inch ord

Dreadnoughts will be armed? Each one OF
these guns will fire proJectile weighing
I,4O0 pounds something more than twice
the total weight OF cast iron thrown by

But this Is merely hint OF the destructive
capacity OF the present day climax In naval
ordnance. The projectile hurled from

miles, and at 1000 yards can bore It's way
through nearly sixteen inches Of Kruppized
armor The n1uzzle energy OF one of these
guns reaches the stupendois figure OF 65.6S7
foot-tons, which, IL converted into horse
power, would be sufficient to raise the "Old
Ironsides" bodily out of the water to
height OF nearly twice that OF the Eiffel
Tower in one minute. The latest OF our
Dreadnoughts will carry ten Of these pom
derous rifles and twenty-one OF the smaller
rapid-hre 5-inch guns.
In the War of 1872 the longest Of our guns
had a total length OF less than nine feet;
to-day our li-inch Tong toms reach
ffty-four feet from breech &c muzzle. and
they are fashioned Of various steels OF
great strength instead of being made OF
cast iron. as was the custom in the days
Of the Constitution. so that, pound for
pound OF metal. the molern rifle Is in
fnitely superior to its ancient smooth-bore
rival. Quite apart from this. the modern
projectile is vastly different and more
complex creation than the cast iron balls
Of a hundred years ago. which had to con-
tend against only bulwarks of wood. To-
day the armor piercing projectile must be
capable OF going through, substantially un-
deformed, its own calibre or diameter Of
hardened steel, and its fabrication Is
wonderful metallurgical and engineering
achievement. But our present guns and

Naturally, the men that watch over and
utilize all OF the marvellous facilities OF
the modern craft OF the battle line are
themselves intellectually away ahead Of
their fighting fellows OF 1872, and In their
walk in life they typify the same relative
changes which have taken place between
the citizen of a hundred years back and
our townsman Of to-day Therefore. as We
look back to the period when the good old
Constitution and her sister ships were
building more securely the stability OF this
country. the lesson for us is not so much
a cause for rejoicing in the deeds Of that
period as a reason for thankfulness that
we live in this truly wonderful present.
There is no record OF human advancement
that shows as much development In
thousand years as the story of our ma
tional progress in the last century. It 10

four, times as efficient as the smoke max

the War OF 1872.
These differences between the battle craft
Of now and the frigates OF hundred years
ago are very good indexes OF the entire
revolution which has been wrought In every
department OF our fghting craft since we
last bade defiance to Great Britain. Steam
power has supplanted sails. steel has taken
the place OF wood as a structural material
and the mechanic arts are drawn upon in
every direction TO make the warship Of
to-day a veritable lighting machine. Be-
fore a fair wind the best OF our frigates
ran something like thirteen knots, with
every stitch Of canvas spread TO catch the
favoring gale, but the story was a far diff
ferent one when the good ships had to eat
their way toward the eye OF the wind. To-

day our Dreadnoughts of nearly 5000 tons
are expected to make a sea speed Of quite
twenty-one knots and to keep pretty close
to this when the sea is heavy and the
winds blow so violently that the frigates
OF old would have had 10 heave to.

pretty nearly all of the heavy work ex-
pected OF the seaman a century ago, and
IT does some other ponderous tasks with
facility which are quite beyond the accu-
mulated Drawn Of the entire complement
of such ships as the Constitution. But be-
sides all these things, electricity searches

had TO bring these weapons 10 bear upon
her quarry inside OF a range Of nth OF a

on our modern DTeadnoughts we carry A
number Of 3-inch guns intended for service
with landing parties. These guns throw
a projectile OF fourteen pounds and have a
muzzle energy OF S75 foot-tons, and at a
thousand yards could destroy In few min
utes any vessel of the old frigate type.
These 3-inch guns are really about the
smallest weapons that we expect anything
Of aboard a modern lighting craft. In order
to repel torpedo boats the ships OF the
battle line OF the present carry 5-inch rapid
fire rifles In point Of calibre these guns
are really smaller than the 32-pounders
which formed the Constitutions prime

Stealing Wages in Lawrence.

For seven weeks strike has
benin progress at the textile fac
tories in Lawrence, Mass. These
factories are subsidized through
the Federal government by means
of the protective tariff. The reasons
given are the necessity Of the sub
sidy in order to maintain Ameri-
can wages. The wages are never
theless reduced below the living
point, and long strike results.
Thereupon the powers of the
State-judicial,. police and mill
tary-are brought to the aid Of the
subsidized employers; and this
interference in their interest is ex :
tended 50 Tar beyond the law as
to interfere with tho sending by
strikers of their children to tenn
porary homes in other cities. By
what law have the people done
thisp II by none, why do the
higher authorities allow itp And
then that tariff subsidy. This
makes the question national. The
people of the United States are
empowering those Lawrence man
ufacturers to charge excessive
prices for their products in order to
pay good svages; but the employers
