IN FOURTH PLACE
Real Comparative Strength Of
Nations Shown In Bras
sey's Manuel.

Washington, July 6.-The United
States is now occupying fourth place
among the navies of. the world, and
not third. as is generally supposed.
The real loss of prestige to the
navy by reason of the failure to keep
up the naval construction program is
shown very clearly in Brassey's Mani.
al, whose rating of the nations was
discussed generally today by officers
at the Navy Department.
Rear Admiral Bradley Fiske, chief
Of staff of Secretary Daniels, point
ed out the real comparative strength
Of the nations as shown by Brassey's
figures is:
England, 20.
Germany. 10.
France, II.
United States, 10.

Tese figures represent the ships
that would count in war at the pres

cd with 80 battleships and Great
Britain with II. but a great many ell
limitations would have to be made for
a fight at the present day, SO that
the true standard Is that given by
Brassey. Naval officers here at least
think SO, and have the best of reason 8
for their opinions.
Admiral Fiske ventured a new OPP
inion today on the subject of the
building of the ships. He said:
you hear 1t said from time to
time that the navy is burden to
the poor. That Is not so. Ships are
built by the proceeds of imports
largely. 1t is the champagne, the dia-i
monds, the emeralds, silks, satins
and furs that pay for the ships and
the disbursement of the Navy De-
partHDent. The great problem of any
natid4 is to keep the people at work;
that is to have work for them to do.
When the reverse happens. you may
look for trouble. / don't think there
has been any subtle argument offer
ed against a proper navy for this
country"

young baby.
An amusing feature since the
young ones came Is the male doing
all the work. The first thing in the
evening when he comes out he
changes the sleeping bed, swimming
In with punches Of green weeds
thrown over his shoulder and bring
ing out the used bed Then he
patches up the outside OF the house
and entrance, getting mud out of o
canal which he digs out as an en-
trance to the house.
Beaver do not carry mud as re-
ported on their broad tail, nor do
they use 1t to pat and level mud. or
course their tail dragging gives 1t a
smooth look, the mud used Is car
ried on their front paws. their hind
legs being SO attached to their body
that they can walk on them like q
goose. the mud being deposited
where wanted with flap and knead-
ed with the front feet. The tail IL
used only for swimming and is a
combination of paddle, screw. propel-
lor and scull, smoothing man has
never been able to invent the equal
of. and is also used as q danger sig
nal, by hitting the water, making a
noise equal to the crack OF a pistol,
hearing which all the thoer beaver
dive.
Beyond the fiction regarding the
use of their tail l have seen those
beaver do everything almost have
read about their doing. They ap-
pear to have more than instinct, al
ways apparently having an end in
view. They waste nothing. where
they cut down willows. So far. they
have not touched the sprouts which
came from the stump. possibly with
an eye to a future supply. Beaver
are purely vegetarian. They do not
modest fish and will not as some be-
lieve, run muskrats out Of q pond,
but l notice they sometimes Close
muskrat holes and appropriate one
as start for their burrow. As an
instance of beavers sagacity, a will
low tree had a narrow ditch on the
side they, wished to cut, caused by
an old muskrat's burrow sinking. The
beaver built a scaffold over this OF
dead branches on which they sat
while cutting.
After they were almost extermi-
mated the stockmen OF Montana and
New Mexico awoke to the beavers
usefulness in damming up small
streams every few hundred yards so
as to insure themselves continuous
waterway, the beaver being almost
helpless on dry land or at least
slow, thus conserving a supply of
water In pools instead of the stream
soon running dry, and stockmen now
protect them.
Beaver apparently take two years
to attain full growth, and l look for
an amusing time this fall when
and pantry filling time
comes. There will be divers cuffs
and admoniitons administered to the
II they shirk by the head
Of the family. who Is always busy.
II Is gratifying to me to see the in
terest taken by my neighbors and
friends In those animals as also in
pheasants which are now
getting quite a start which. while
being closely protected by law the
year round. owe their greater safety
to the kind care Oft our neighbors.
Any pot hunter molesting them be-
ing promptly reported. We have
got past the killing stage. and real
lie that a great part Of the charm Of
country life. consists in seeing our
wild animals and birds losing their
fear of man and adding to the beau
ty of nature.
