NON-IRRIGABLE LANDS
ARE SURECT TO ENTRY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IA
Public lands that have been surveyed
and are unreserved and non-irrigable
are to be designated for entry as en-
larged ,homesteads, under new rul-
ing by the secretary of the interior.
Large tracts will be so designated at
once, and the entryman will have to
determine the availability of each
quarter-section Of such land when he
visits the district land office. The
recent practice has been that the de-
partment waited for petition in each
case before it designated tract as
ready for enlarged homestead entry.

The apparently authentic report
that DR.. Sun Vat Sen, former pro-
visional president, has formerly in
dorsed the southern rebellion and de-
manded the resignation of President
Yuan, coupled with the report that
martial law has been declared at
Peking, argues grave situation in
China. The fighting may or may not
have been severe, but the secession
movement may affect the entire south.
The complaint is that Yuan has been
acting like military dictator, and his
elimination is held to be essential to
the success of the republic.

TWO YEARS REQUIRED
TO BUILD A BATTLESHIP

Some interesting figures are given
by DR.. Alexander Richardson of
Engineering, regarding the number of
man-hours required TO build battle
ships in order to support the con-
tention that two years is too short
period for the completion of the
larger and more powerful ships of
the present day.
The battleship of Is years ago,
having length of 800 feet and a dis
placement tonnage of 1880 tons,
involved in the construction of the
ship 5,273, 1858 man-hours; at 81 hours
per week and so weeks per annum
this required for the hull alone, the
employment for two years of over
1000 workmen. The first dread
noughts required 5,4s9,s63 man-hours,
and the Iron Duke class, of $50 feet
in length and 25,000 tons displace-
ment, involved Z, 100000 hours,
or about 1880 men for two years.
Only about 200 men can be engaged
on ship without getting in each
others way.
The corresponding figures for the
construction of propelling machinery
are equally interesting. The recip-
Grating engines of the battleship of
is years ago, of 1880 horsepower,
required /, 1893. 900 man hours, while
the turbine machinery of today of
more than double the power, requires
1, $4,000 man-hours. The small in
crease is explained by the fact that
whereas in the cass of reciporating
engines only some So per cent of the
cost was for material. the remain
ing 45 per cent being for labor, the
material for turbines, much Of it ma
chined ready for hand, notably the
blading, absorbs 72 per cent of the
total cost, leaving only 2s per cent for
labor. Il

1t is matter of particular import
ance at the present juncture, in view
of the recent crisis, that the people
of America should take serious stock
of Japanese naval development. The
navy of the United States is still in
comparably superior to that of Japan;
but its superiority is very largely de-
pendent upon ships built during what
is known as the '.pre-dreadnought"
era, and which are therefore in state

Of ever increasing obsolescence. The
future cannot be guaranteed by pre-
ponderance of units, which, how
ever their merits when they were
built are now wholly outclassed. The
Panama canal, while il will add to the
mobility of the American fleet, in
creases its responsibilities. The canal
affords the navy shorter route to
the Pacific, but it also adds to the
dangers the United States may run in
the Pacific. Four years ago M. Sar-
tori Kato, one of the best informed
of Japanese publicists, wrote in an
English naval periodical: Whether
allowed or disallowed, Japan's insist
ent aspiration is to be master of the
Pacific" 1t will be wise to bear the
policy in mind when considering the
facts which may be regarded either
as the outcome of it or as contribut-
ing toward it.
The United States has thirteen
dreadnoughts built and building to
Japan's twelve. The difference in
tonnage, such as it is, is slightly in
favor of Japan. In gun power the
japanese are Is per cent better off
than we, although they have one
dreadnought less.
There is in these facts no cause
for panic. Japan has still, at the out
side, only five completed dreadnoughts
to the eight of the United States; and,
taking into consideration the more
rapid rate of construction in this
country, there is no good reason why
the proportion should be altered. 1t
is, however, perfectly clear that the
naval superiority of America over
Japan cannot be maintained by laying
down one battleship a year. From
1911 onward Japan has laid down or
ordered eight dreadnoughts to the
four of the United States, and another
four battle-cruisers, besides minor
craft, are provided for in the new
Japanese program. When Admiral
Takaraba was placing the new pro-
gram before the lower house of the
Japanese diet, he declared that it had
been prepared with an eye to the 21
battleships which certain power
might be able to oppose to it. This
was, of course, direct reference to
the United States, since no European
power is in position to risk the dis
patch of so many ships to so distant
station 1t must have become per-
fectly obvious to every man who ex-
amines the situation that provision
of one battleship a year will not
suffice to maintain the position OF
the United States among the naval
mowers of the world. Between 1901
and 1907, period of seven years,
30 armored ships were launched for
the United States fleet. In the five
and a half succeeding years only ten
have been launched. No nation can
expect to maintain its position in the
face of such facts as these. With the
advent of the dreadnought, costing
more to build and more to keep up
than ships of the earlier types, some
elimination in numbers was to be
looked for, but there is no nation
that has reduced its rate of construc-
ton to such an extent as the United
States. At the end of the "pre-dread-
nought" period the United States was
easily second to Great Britain. Ger
many has now usurped that position,
and if the present rate of compara-
tive progress is allowed to continue,
it will not be long before the rise OF
Japan compels America to take a still
lower position in the scale.-Scien-
tific American.
