interfered with his delivery, but not
with the value of his words. He said
that the man who had no love for
animals, wasn't a real man, and that
the churchman who didn't love a
fine trotting horse had better get
out of the church, because there was
something lacking In his moral fibre.
The title of his lecture was taken
from a silver crown in an Asiatic
country that was to go to a new
king a man who could control the
animals, the water, and the sun, and
he said that there were men of that
kind right here, but all too many of
them never gave thought to the
things around them. He drew many
timely illustrations.
The fifth day of the CoryelTs

Specially equipped repair ships to
mend breaks and furnish broken parts
are a necessary adjunct to the battle
fleet. Every modern battleship car
rbes a blacksmith's forge and a small
repair shop, which makes minor re-
pairs, but for serious breakdowns, the
deliberately fitted repair ship is
used. The most famous of these ships
are the Ark Royal, the Vulcan, the
Cyclops and the Assistance. The
Ark Royal, said to be the only one
of its kind in the world, is a floating
aeroplane factory. which is equipped
for mending seaplanes, aeroplar,es, en-
glneS and parts, and is capable OF
building an entire aircraft. The ship
is at present with the British navy al
the D~ardanelles. The Cyclops, q
regular" repair ship carries 900
skilled mechanics, a complete foun-
dry, where castings a be made an6
various repair shops. She is capable
of turning out a complete propeller
for a big battleship. In addition, tn;
ship carries a large distilling appara
tus sufficient to supply fresh water t.
a number of ships; an ice-makins
machine and a big steam hammer
The Assistance is a smaller vessel
which makes smaller repairs, which
are however, too big for the battle
ship repair shops. The Vulcan is
special repair ship for torpedo boats
She carries two cranes amidShips

Must Take Russian Baths.
London correspondence Of New York
Sun.

Sidelights on the life of Russia's
prisoners in the Siberian detention
camps are given in a letter received
by an English merchant in Moscow,
a translation of which is printed in a
London newspaper.
AT the present time" says the let
ter, I'VE have $4,000 prisoners on our
bOoks-6,00 in the village and 5000
in town. A further transport Of To-
700 prisoners will be taken in within
a month.
The Germans are kept separate
from the other n~atiOnal1tleS. For two
hours in the morning the prisoners
are allowed to take g~ynanastlc exer-
cises. to play games, sing or play
music. Gardening is ais allowed.
The prisoners may smoke in places
same food as our Russian soldiers.
Every fortnight a Russian bath is
provided and everyone must make
use of it. This time of the year the
prisoners go to bathe II TIE river at
least once a month
The letter says the Germans are
denied certain privileges accorded to
the other prisoners, but the treatment
of all is good. No prisoner needs TO
work more than five hours a day. The
sanitary conditions are considered
satisfactory The officers get 80
rubles tS25) monthly n must pro-
yide their own food. Each house has
a kitchen and there is a servant for
every FIVE officers. All complaints Of
in-treatment, the writer says. are i'm
mediately attended to. n those who
are guilty are punished.

WHO WON WATERLOO,
Inc 'cneral>hip of wellington and
n Aid OF BIueher.

the Aid OF Butcher.
Ntot hugo sad COD and the
brltlsh soldiers overthrow Napoleon
al Waterloo The kaiser and the Ger
mans say today that Butcher saved
Wellington from being cut 10 pieces
al Waterloo. And the British retort
in kind.
The iron duke and Butcher had no
controversy. The two understood each
other. Wellington would rot have
erected TO stand at Waterloo. but for
his understanding that Blucl}er would
march TO his assistance. Butcher
would not have fallen back from
LlSy toward Wavre but for his pur-
pose Of keeping in supporting dis
lance of Wellington
At Waterloo Napoleon vas caught
between W. convergins armies ac-
cordlng TO plan. much as the Aus
TRANS at Sadowa We're caught between
the armies of Prince Frederick
Charles and the crown prince Of
Prussia.
The controversy is a 20th century
one; 1t could no more have occurred
between Wellington and Blucter than
"a similar one over Blenheim could
have occurred between the duke of
Marlborough and Prince Eugene.
Wellington fulfilled his part Of the
agreement. which was to keep TIN

the French flank. Butcher fulfilled
his part OF the agreement to hasten Ia
his colleagues Si6.a. Between the
dukes defense and~the Prussian's as
sault Napoleon vas caught and
routed.
Butcher was an old hero and q
fighting general. His Temperament
was vehement and passionate. Well
ington was the coolest of the cold, a:
had been Marlborough before him
But Englishman and German We're
alike in the quality which refused t.
accept defeat. II Wellington Wa.

In discussing the commercial
achievements OF this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This Sc
rles will endeavor to record In writ
ing the supremacy OF American men
and industries in the worlds affairs
and perptuate an appreciation OF our
marvellous industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts. figures and
comparisons that are overpowering in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob
lens of transportation, and the great
est men in the history of the worlds
commerce are at the head Of the
transportation systems of the United
States.
In the discussion of transportation,
let us consider separately our Rail
WAYS, Telegraph and Telephones, Elk
press, Public Highways, Steamships
Street Railways, lnterurban and other
forms of transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage the best service. the cheap
est rates, pays labor the highest
wages. and we have the most efficient
ly managed OF the railways OF the
world. They stand as monument tC
the native genius OF our marvellous
builders, and most of the railroads IL
foreign countries have been bull
under American orders.
The railroads represent larger in
vestment of capital than any othe
