ship" instead Of a plain everyday sort
of battleship, though the largest Of
her kind, is rather long story. Strict
ly speaking. however, it was an cleo
trio collier or coal-carrying vessel that
pointed the way to the present over
turning of precedent. For several
years past electrical engineers of pro-
gressive ideas have been dreaming
and talking of the day when our great
ships, particularly our naval vessels,
should answer as quickly and silently
to electrical impulse as does an cleo
trio automobile OF a trolley car. The
logic of these cham pions of electricity
was unanswerable and electricity gave
good account OF itself in many small
experimental vessels but the United
States Government, along with the
other great powers of the work hest
tated to risk an investment of millions
of dollars--which is what an electric
battleship amounts to.
However, in due course, the Ameri-
can electrical experts who had gone
farther than any person else in quest
of this goal, made ont SO favorable 4
case that the L. s. Navy Department,
decided to make a test on a vessel OF
moderate size. The collier Jupiter
was chosen for the experiment and

by Congress within the past few years
and which are now building. For in
stance, the California will be 16 feet

Just as can submarine. On the
other hand the California will have
an innovation in the form of tor
pedo defense battery consisting of
twenty-five 5-inch rapid-flre guns so
that this new mistress of the waves
will be well qualified to cope at close

warfare that strive to creep close

The entire male population between
the ages Of twenty-o one and forty-four

there are exceptions to this rule, ana

Poorly Paid.
The Russian army is the poorest
paid army in Europe, the pay of a
general being from $500 to $4,000
per year. The Junior officers must live
on from fifteen to fifty dollars per
month. The higher officers are per
mitted to use one or more soldiers
as servants in order to lessen their
expenditure.
The pay of a Russian private is from
eighteen to twenty cents per month.
while a sergeant draws the munificent
sum OF siXty-three cents per month
Unless these men receive help from
home or by doing extra work when or

is quite as trying as the military du-

The terms of service vary according
to education. For instance, man
who has passed through university
serves two years in line and sixteen
in the reserves If he goes through
a secondary school he serves three
wears and fifteen MS a reserve, but II
he comes from the national (pubIic)
school he must serve from five to
seven years. The Cossacks are liable
to service for life in return for the
use of some Of the Crown Lands In
Russia and siberia.
At least sixty-fve per cent OF the
Russian conscripts can neither read
nor write. The officers frequently
have to teach them their alphabet
and many other things, for they are
