when our Pacific commerce is de-
veloped on the scale of magnificence
it is sure 10 attain"
At the present time there are more
than 175 fighting vessels of all types
in the Pacific fleet, with the pros
pect. the admiral pointed out. that
this number Will be swelled if the
navy is 10 keep abreast of the grow
ing United States mercantile ma
rine created in the Pacific trade.
II have no knowledge that the
Pacific fleet is to be augmented in
the near future. but if Washington
is going to enlarge il or maintain il
at its greatest efficiency. there will
have TO be improved docking and
repairing facilities. While we have
no enemies in the Pacific, we do ex-
pect to have larger commerce in this
ocean. which means proper naval
protection is necessary.
Japan, which feels it must have
larger mercantile marine 10 sup
port its national growth. has pro-
vided a larger navy TO keep pace
with its ships of trade We should
have at least as much protection for
our ships Of trade as Japan is pro-
viding for those under its flag"
Prefer New Base To New Ships.
Admiral ROdman explained that
the navy department has found San
Diego TO be well suited for a de-
stroyer and aircraft base: that Los
Angeles harbor is ideal for a sub
marine base and that il is necessary
20 have a main base on san Fran
cisco bay. He stated that naval Of
fcers agreed that Mare Island is in
adequate as base for great capital
ships and that Alameda has been
selected as an ideal point.
The admiral explained that II is
necessary TO expand the efficient
base at Bremerton. Wash. but the
navy must have at least one other
base on san Francisco bay" He
said that if IL came to a decision as
70 the necessity for building the new
san Francisco bay base. as opposed
to constructing one or two new capt.
tai ships. he would recommend the
new base.
The admiral sent the following
message TO American men an dwo-
men:
If the people in Kansas. in Ohio.
in New York, in Maine. or in Florida
only realized that IL is just as much
their interest from a standpoint OF
national welfare 10 have adequate ia
cilities for our great fleet on the Pa
cifc as IL is for the people OF Cali
fornia, or Oregon, or Washington
they would get behind the navy de-
partment through thir congressman

dorsement OF the present Pacific

rolled In the better sires drive, IS re-
ported standardized fowls. The flocks
averaged "a birds. The principal
breeds reported are, in the order
stated, Plymouth Rocks, Leghorns,
Rhode Island Reds, Orpingtons and
Wyandottes. Barred Plymouth Rocks
were more numerous than other varie-
ties in the breed. or the Leghorns
the White Leghorns were raised In
largest numbers, while of the Wyan-
dottes the white variety was some
what more popular than the Silver
Laced Wyandottes, which were Sec
ond. Buff OrpingtOns were the only
variety of that breed reported.
The facts stated are believed to
show interest In the keeping Of we'll
bred poultry, especially since the Bet
ter Slres-Better Stock blanks merely
call for the number Of poultry kept );
and In all cases the livestock owners
volunteered the facts about breeds
and varieties. 1t is also noteworthy
that, whereas the better-slres drive Is
aimed chiefly at the improvement of
breeding males, In the case Of poultry
a large majority of females likewise
are standard bred.

The Worlds Languages.

One authority gives the following
list of languages: English, German
French, Russian, Italian, Spanish
Chinese, Arabic, Scandinavian, Dutch
and Flemish, Minor European, Minor
Asiatic, Minor African, Polynesian
and Portuguese. The exact number
must vary according to the authority,
as 1t is difficult to determine first
when dialect ceases to be such and
starts out as distinct language.
opinion would also vary as to which
is the most difficult to learn. 1t is
claimed by some that English is diff.
cult to master, owing to Its gram.
mar; by others that Chinese Is diff.
cult, owing to its lack of grammar.
Much also depends on the mother
tongue of the person, as 1t is easier
TO learn a related language than one
which Is entirely distinct.

culture.
The chimney should have a solid
foundation Of brick or stone, and II
Of brick Of course, an extra footing
should be laid. The exterior walls
should be two bricks thick and the
division walls one brick thick. In
case the chimney Is lined with one

the market one brick will prove of
sufficient thickness for the exterior
walls.
In case II Is necessary to carry a

used, and where a pipe passes COM

Ancient Use Of Concrete.

A certain concrete arch bridge In
the south Of France, known as the
Pont du Gard, was erected In the
rather remote year, So B. c., and has,
therefore, been In use for nearly 1000
years. The concrete Of this structure
was not composed Of crushed stone OF
other small aggregate of the variety
now employed in bridge work, but
was Of the old style, consisting Of al.
ternate layers Of large and small
stones, gravel, ETC., and Of cement.
tious materials. Vitruvious describes
the materials and methods In use be.
fore the Christian era, and many
writer's of the Middle ages go into
minute details as to how "the an.
cients,' as they called them, fused
boards laid on edge, filling the space
between them with cement and all
sorts of large and small stones mingled
