Naval Supremacy.

Naval Supremacy.
The speech Of Winston Churchill. first
lord Of the admiralty. in introducing the
naval budget in the British House Of Com
mons, last Monday, effectually disposes Of
the hope of limiting naval ornaments for
the present. Lord Haldane's recent visit
to Germany and his conversation with
the imperial authorities was regarded &
step in that direction, and It's results as
cautiously interpreted by Prime Minister
Asquith lent wings TO hope OF an under
standing which would check the mania
for naval supremacy. Mr.. Churchill's
announcement Of Britain's naval plans
makes II clear that Lord Haldane's mis-
sion TO Germany. so far as II related to
sea power, was not 9 success. Germany's
refusal to call a halt doubtless prompted
the emphatic declaration Of the British
minister that Britannia will continue
mistress of the seas at any cost The
two power naval policy Of former years
is to be modified to the basis Of go per
cent or better above the next best naval
power. As Germany ranks second In sea
power and is more aggressive In war
ship building than powers Of lesser naval
rank. the def Of Minister Churchill is
plainly intended to impress upon the
kaiser and the Imperial Naval league
that Great Britain is not to be overtaken
in naval supremacy. 'She has the ships.
she has the men. she has the money, too"

Housing Conditions of Miners.
A correspondent OF q London journal.
writing Of the coal miners strike In
Great Britain, says increased wages
without improved housing conditions will
not cure existing evils. what the miners
Of New South Wales want more than
money" the writer says, is better hous-
ing In Monmouthshire and Glamorgan-
shire. The population Of these counties
has risen by % per ceent in the the last
ten years, and often the same cottage
has to accommodate two or even three
families. On returning from his labors
the miner, II OF eleanly disposition. de-
sires a bath. This he can only secure In
the presence OF the whole family, while
as for sleeping accommodation II puts a
premium upon immortality. Key money
is another grievance. and there is even
a system whereby the grocer turns land
lord and elects any tenant who falls to
deal at his shop. Yet there is plenty Of
land available for building cottages with
gardens-cottages in which the miner
could take pride. and gardens which
would occupy him In his abundant spare
time. To give him more leisure and more
money without giving him any decent OPP
portunity Of using either would be merely
to build up a new fabric Of discomfort

Up the Alps ~ hhtfs
A mountain climbing railroad rivaling
the cog road to the summit Of Pixies peak
was completed last month to the crest Of
the Jungfrau. one Of the noted peaks Of
the swiss Alps. Practically the road is a
continuous tunnel pierced through solid
rock. The most remarkable thing about
II. apart from the engineering features,
is the fact that II was constructed with
out an accident or serious injury to any
Of its workmen. When Guyer-zeller FIRST
announced his plan Of reaching the sum
nit OF the Jungfrau by tunnels through
the solid rock. it was laughed at. But.
on September 10. 1885. 400 invited guests
lunched at the Elgergietscher station. On
June 30, 1907. 800 persons assembled to the
next station. tho Eismeer; and during the
coming summer tourists will be able to
take meals and secure rooms at the sta
tlon Iungfraujoch. whence climbers can
reach the summit In few hours. while
any one who chooses can walk along
miles of glaciers. enjoying some Of the
grandest views in Switzerland. II was
estimated that TO make the Jungfrau rail-
way pay II would require 5000 passengers
a year. Last year the number who made
the partial ascent was 5000.
