NEW TYPE OF WARSHIP.
UnarmOred Hull and Speed of IS
Knots.

A new type of warship with an arm
ored hull, and a speed of 35 knots has
been planned. it is understood, by the
United States Navy Department. They
might be classed as a more powerful
development OF the scout cruiser. but,
unlike the latter. will carry in their
main battery two or more of the heav-
lest guns made. They will be compar-
atively small vessels, and a dozen Of
them, it is estimated can be built at
the cost of four battle cruisers.
The new type would have the power
to hit the most powerful ship afoat
and the speed tc get away Their great
speed would also make them less vul-
nerable to attacks by submarines
Their high gun power and speed would
enable them to effectively keep off at
safe distance and smother with their
fire all warships of an enemy not equal
to their own in gun power. The advo-
Gates of the plan for the new type OF
ships believe that they will be superior
to battle cruisers. They point out that
in war the new type of cruiser would
he far more useful than more numer-
ously gunned and bigger ships, whether
in running down enemy cruisers. in
scouting or i'll :aidilg commerce.
In battle they argue, the advantage
should be with the cruisers, since it
would be necessary for the enemy to
put out of action three American ships
accomplish as much as could be done
by a single well placed hit on an en-
emy's battle cruiser. Further, the en-
emy's fire would have to be divided
out to three vessels, while the new
cruisers could concentrate their fire
on one assuming of course. that a suf-
ficient number of the new type were
provided for to cruise in force.

MASTERY OF THE WORLD"
An Able Article by Admiral Fiske
u. S. N.

In the October number of the North
American Review Rear Admiral Brad
ley A. Fiske, L. S. n, has an able arti-
Gle on the subject of the Mastery of
the World" in which he seeks to de-
duce the future of mankind from a dia-
gram of the history of the past, fol-
lowing "the induction method of mod
ern science" to determine the future
from the past.
His conclusion is that nations in re-
gard to their relations to one another
will go on in the direction in which
they have been going unless acted upon
by some external force, and he does not
believe that civilization, commerce or
Christianity, can import this force.
AS to commercial factors, he is entire
ly assured that they will in the future
be even more potent than in the past
in arraying nations against each other
in bloody wars

Mad at Paint

Csc gallon for paint is about $3.50
on the average job. and lots of men
waited last year for that; but they
didn't reckon; they got mad; wouldn't
pay it.
There are times to get mad and re-
fuse to pay; but when ones property
needs protecting is no time to get
mad and not paint.
Besides, it costs more to get mad
and wait than to paint.
Getting mad esn't do any good to
your property; paint does it good by
keeping out water; no water no rot /;
no paint, some water and rot; and a
little rot is more than enough to
make man liberal towards his painter
and paint.
Paint costs not a cent. All the
paint in the world long as it keeps
out water, costs not a cent.

What the October Magazines Contain
of Interest to Readers.


A few years ago, any magazine
which could publish a serial by real.
ly great author once in two or three
years. had good reason to believe that
it was accomplishing something.
How different it is to-day
1.-The Proof of the Pudding" new
novel by Meredith Nicholson, by the
way, his first novel ever to be serializ-
ed begins in the October issue of
The Red Book Magazine. At the
same time this publication is publish.
ing serials by Rupert Hughes and Sir
Gilbert Parker. The simultaneous
presentation of the work of three such
authors means getting out a magazine
on a scale which has never been at.
tempted before.
The new novel by Mr.. Nicholson has
its setting in a medium-sized city
which can be recognized as Indianapo-
lis. The story is built around a fasci-
mating young woman of rather lowly
Irish parentage who has been adopted
by retired man of wealth. The giri
is wonderfully likable but very willful
there is q real streak of Irish devil
ishness in her makeup. Her adven-
lures in life and love form a fascinat.
ing story. As a background MIR.
Nicholson has taken up a subject
which has been waiting for an author
with the courage to tackle it. This is
the growth in the smaller cities of
fast" sets which rival anything to be
found in New York The author also
draws a fine contrast between the busi-
ness methods of the generation Just
past and those of the present genera
tion.

THE NEW BOOKS
The story Of Our Navy.

We are glad to find in ''The Story
OF Our Navy" book that is more
than a mere eulogy of the naval he
roes of our country. 1t is book that
tells of the real reasons for the sue
cesses and failures of our navy, from
its modest beginnings to It's present
strength as the third naval power
of the world. The importance of "sea
power" the changes brought about
by steam. electricity, and armor, and
the less familiar services rendered
by the navy in the years of peace are
told in an interesting manner.
The author. William o. Stevens, a
member of the faculty at the United
States Naval Academy. tells how the
navy triumphed over the general OPP
position to 1t by its victories In the
War of 1912; how the navy pulled
itself together in the Civil War and
largely decided the issue by its
blockade of the South; how the navy
fell into neglect again after the war.

The East l Know.

Translations, as rule, lose much
of the strength or beauty of the orig
.inals. This is true Of prose thoughts,
expressed in prose; but it is especial
ly true of poetry. Capable transla-
tors are hard to fad. being like unto
the haystack-hidden needle; and even
the most capable translator cannot
surmount entirely the age-long OBJ
stacle of language-difference.
So the reader of this book-"The
East | Know" by Paul Claudel, trans
lated into English by Teresa Frances
and William Rose Benet-can wonder
at the satisfaction with which the
English rendering fills him and can
only imagine the charm that GER
tainly must be in the French original.

in use in several cities in Missouri
the size of Columbia. has proved a
success. Central plants have done
more than improve the appearance 81
the cities owning then; they have
been of decided economic value The
business districts are mucn better
heated and the cost of getting heat is
less than that of maintaining sepa-
rate furnaces.
The installation of such a plant IN
Columbia would undoubtedly prove of
much benefit. In Columbia there are
but few furnaces that heat more than
one building. A central plant would
do away with a great deal of janitor
help, and would cost less for the heat
furnished
Either of the two railroads that
come to Columbia are close enough to
the business district to build siding
to the plant, which could be placed
very conveniently near one of the ter
minals. The plant would then be sit
uated close enough to the heart of the
city so that the cost of piping the heat
to the different stores would not be
great. In some cities that have CEN
tral heating plants the heat is piped
a half or three-quarters of a mile.
If separate plant should be CON
sidered too costly, it might be possi-
BILE to enlarge the municipal water
and light plant so that the exhaust
steam could be used for the heating
,of the business district.

FREDERICK OAKEs SYLVESTER.

Frederick Oakes Sylvester was an
artist. He was a poet, too. One field
was not enough for the expression OF
all the beauty he saw in nature along
the Mississippi river. He couldn't
paint landscapes all the time, but
even in the relaxation from painting
he couldn't keep from expressing that
beauty in art of some kind. So he
turned to verse.
He built lodge on the cliffs of the
great river, where he could be close
to the scenes he has pictured for US.
Friends came there to his door. Co
lumbians we're among those who
found their way to this painter OF
'the father of waters" Those who
knew him and his work will appre-
ciate this tribute of st. Louis news
paper, which after all is one of the
highest that could be given an ar
tist.
He was happy in his art and his
friends. He was a companion and in
spirer of the young. He left behind
him works which will have a perma-
nent place in the history of Western
art. Success of the truest kind
crowned his efforts. and he has gone
out from us full-handed. at the end
of the day"

The Literary Trawler

Extreme business. whether at
school or college, kirk or market, is a
symptom of deficient vitality; and
faculty for idleness implies catholic
eappetite and a strong sense of per-
ssonal identity. There is a sort of
dead-alive, hackneyed people about,
who are scarcely conscious of living
except in the exercise of some con-
ventional occupation. Bring these
fellows into the country, or set them
aboard ship. and you will see how they
pine for their desk or their study.
They have no curiosity; they cannot
give themselves over to random prov
ocations; they do not take pleasure
In the exercise of their faculties for
dts own sake; and unless Necessity
Jays about them with a stick, they
will even stand still.
1t is no good speaking to such folk:
they cannot be idle. their nature is
not generous enough: and they pass
those hours in a sort of coma, which
ere not dedicated to furious moiling
in the gold-mill. When they do not
require to go to the Office, when they
are not hungry. and have no mind to
drink. the whole breathing world is
blank to them. II they have to
wait an hour or SO for train, they
hfall into stupid trance with their
eyes open. To see them, you would
suppose there was nothing to look
lat and no one to speak with; you
would imagine they were paralyzed or
aiienated; and yet very possibly they
are hard workers In their own way,
and have good eyesight for a flaw in
2 deed or turn of the market. They
have been to school and college, but
all the time they had their eyes on the
medal; they have gone about in the
world and mixed with clever people.
kbut all the time they were thinking
bof their own affairs. As IL a mans
soul were not too small to begin with,
they have dwarfed and narrowed
theirs by life of all work and no
play; until here they are at forty,
with listless attention. mind vacant
hof all material of amusement, and
mot one thought to rub against anoth-
YER. while they wait for the train.
Before he was breeched he might
have clambered on the boxes; when
