THE NAVY IS NOT HELPLESS

Every day or so someone gets frightened almost to
death account of the wreched navy Uncle Sam has.
AT the same time these tmorous point out how
strong every other nations sea power s and how easy
it would be for any little old country to and
capture because Of that inadequate and obsolete navy
The United States has tried to build navy big
enough to control the world England has, but history
shows that have been fairly successful in all our wars
on the England tackled in sea war in 1912 and
lasted like snow ball in Arizona. When the Spanish
war broke out these tmd folks feared our navy
would be swept off the seas, and waited with bated
breath while the bateship Oregon steamed round the
Horn, laying awake nights fearing she had met Span
lard and was hers When the test was found the
Oregon could have whipped the whole Spanish navy at
once and this before breakfast Our navy not so strong
perhaps as it should be but if any other country tackles
us it will give good account of itself and let the enemy
whoever he may be- know he has been in fight
The present war has demonstrated that for the control
of the would either have to have the strongest
navy in the world or would be bottled up just as Ger
manys navy is. With good fleet of submarines to
guard our ports an enemy would have hard time max

TEN BILLION DOLLARS

Ten billion dollars is the sum the crops of the United
States for the year 1915 estimated to be worth This
is half Of the entire amount OF gold estimated to have
been gathered from the earth since time began 1t is at
least three times the amount OF gold in the United States
and about two-thrds of the entire amount now known
to be in existence
1t is an amount of which the mind get concep
ton unless is put in recognizable form than
that given by figures The difference between ten
billion and ten million far the mind recognizing it
is the difference between the letters and NJ the initial
letters Of the two sums.
Let us see what ten billion dollars really is by putting
it in some understandable shape.
Anbunce of gold 900 fne which is the coin ratio, and
using the avordupos weight, contains 1000 grains,
gold dollar contains 258 grains. pound avordupoS of
ton would be worth $542560.
million dollars would weigh 1.843 tons, and one
thousand times that weight billion dollars would
weigh 1,843 tons.
Ten billion dollars would weigh 18431 tons and still
leave half million dollars unaccounted for
Loaded in freight each carrying 10000 pounds
it would take GA of them and this would make II trains
of 81 cars each.
AS another illustration let us what it would repre-
sent in another shape.
Gold is 10 times heavier than water so that cubic
foot of it would weigh 140 pounds slab of it foot
square and one inch thick would weigh 95 pounds.
million dollars weighing 1856 pounds would make slab
Of gold inch thick and nearly 80 feet long, to be
exact 388 feet billion dollars would make an inch
slab 1000 times this large or one foot wide and 800
feet long; and ten billion dollars would pave street ten
feet wide and inch thick for distance Of $500 feet
seven miles and 1860 feet.
Yet vast as is this sum- the warning nations of Europe
it is estimated have spent since the war began than
three times this much in assassinatng each others
citizens and should the war keep up another year this
the warcrazed rulers are beginning to think of terms
of peace?
