Some New British Vessels Will Have Such Provision. The Davenport •representative of the London Express learns that the new battleship Hibernia, just laid down in the dockyard, is to be spec- ially fitted. for the storage of oil fuel in very large quantities,, and that her sister ships, the Britannia and Anna, will undoubtedly be ad - anted in the same fashion. •In the course ef a chat with one of the principal officials of the Navy Construction Department at Devon - poi t Dockyard, the Express repre- sentative gathered some interesting expert opinions upon the question of cal fuel for warships. Tee Hibernia is to have the whole of her false bottom space 6.tted with storage tanks, and suggestion has been raised as to whether coal firing will not be altogether abolished in the latest additions. to the King Ed- ward VII. class, A navy construction official gave it as his opinion that oil fuel would long remain merely supplementary to coal filing in warships. He admitted that the method of employing it would very soon be developed to a stage at whish it would prove quite as effective a means of generating motive power as coal. This, notwithstanding, the coal • bunker was not likely to become a thing of the past in warships for a long time to come. Oto point which, in the expert view, seriously militates • against the general adoption of the oil fuel for warship purposes is its danger- ously inflammable quality. 'An ex- ainple cf this was cited by the Con- etruction Department official. Some little while ago, when the German battleship Keifer *Wilhelm IT. was . dairying out steaming trials, •she teethed a rock with sufficient force to Perforate her bilge plating amid- ships. An inrush of water followed, and the oil stored in the fuel tanks came floating to the surface. Had this reached the level of • the. furnace dooes, both boiler and engine .TOOMS Would have flashed with a blue sheer of unquenchable flame. • Luckily the pumps were set to work in time, and • proved equal to .keeping the leak While this danger might be mini- mized by distributing the oil in as many hernicIically sealed tanks as possible, it could never be quite eli- miratted, and a bursting shell would doubtless cause havoc.

It interest to present day temperance re - b. A recent American review of the book says: It has been left for a Modest English couple, not, appar- ently prohibitioa agitators, but stu- dents of the history of English local government, to discover two big his- torical /acts which ,ecem to hate es- caped the eyes of every one and which seem to be the Alpha and Ome- ga of the history of drink. These things are: • First—That for the half century from 1780 to 1780 England was lit- erally deluged with intoxication, al- most 'to the extent which has de- cimated native tribes on this coil- tinent and in Africa, and that the cause of it was the greed of Govern- ment for a revenue from vice. • Seconci-:-Th.at the only thing, ihat checked the danger was a spontane- ous, instinctive, • national protest against indecency and degradation, and that this protest succeeded, with arbitraiy injustice to publicans, where Government found it impossible to stein the tide it had looriened, CONSUMPTION 011' BEER. • Here is some of the evidence to show the state of things at the be- ginning of the eighteenth century: In 1722 the production of malt for brewing beer attained the extraor- dinary figure of 33,000,000, indicat- ing a consumption in the year of a whole barrel of beer (36 gallons) for very man, woman and child of the population—a total production not again reached until more than 100 years later, and an average consump- tion per head which has never sub- • sequently been equalled. It must be remembered, of course, that beer in those days was the sole national bevestage, taking the • place of tea and coffee as well. But, meanwhile, a far worse intoxi- cant was creeping into favor. Wine shops are heard of as early as 1553— "A great -number of taverns have re- cently been set up in back lanes, cor- ners and suspicious places in Lon- don," runs the preamble of 7 Ed. VI. c. 5. "A tavern is •a degree, or, if you W111, a pair of stairs above an ale house, where men are drunk with more credit and apology," comments a contemporary. NEW DRINK COMES IN. But the free sale of gin threw the ,taverns completely in the shade. Up to 1700 the new art of dlstilling spirits. had been a monopoly in the bands of the*Royal Distillers C0111- pany. But after the revelation, and as a tariff reprisal against France, the importation of brandy was pro- hibited and general permission grant- ed in 1690 to all persons to distill and retail spirits made from Eng- lish grown grain. Government. en- couraged the manufacture, because "great quantities of the worst sort of malted corn, not useful to the brewers, had been yearly consumed by distilleries." No license being required, "punch houses" and "dram shops" multipli- ed. "The result of this free sale cif a powerful intoxicating liquor," says Mr. Webb, "was a perfect pandemon- iuld of • drunkenness, in which the greater part of the population of the metropolis seems to have participat- ed. • Not only were there in London 6,000 to 7,0001 regular dram shops, but cheap gin was given by masters to. their work people, instead of wee - es, sold by barbers and tobacconists. hawked about the streets on narrows, openly exposed for sale in every mar- ket stalls • forced - on the maid Iser- vents and other purchasers at the chandler's shops, distributed by the itratermen on the Thames, vended by peddlers in suburban lanes and freely offered in every house of ill -fame, un- til, as a writer in the Gentlemen's Magazine for 1733, says:—"One half of the town seems set up to furnish poison to the other half." GIN REBELLION. The orgy grew so pronounced that in 1736 at the Middlesex Quarterly Sessions the justices of the county petitioned Parliament to stop it. "The drinking of Geneva and other distilled spirituous liquors for some years past greatly increased, especi- ally among the people of inferior rank. Journeymen, apprentices and servants are drawn in to taste and by degrees to immoderately drink of the porn i el oils liquor." The result was ,ft very drastic pro- hibitory measure. It was absolutely ineffective. • Virtually it wa,s a rebel- lion, and the Government recognized its impotence. • "Every man • fore- saw," said Lord Islay (Parliamentary papers, 1743), "that when the poor had gone gin mad and the rich anti - gin mad, no one woincl give ear to reason, and such a law could not be execeted." Lord Carteret, told the House of Lords that any magistrate who dared to prosecute would be lynched in the streets. In fact, the consumption increased, after the law, from 500,000 gallons in 1734 to 1,760,000 in 1742. • In 1743 the Blehop of Salisbury report - "You, can hardly pass along any street of this, great city but you may see some poor creciteres mede drunk with this liquor, tied cotriniitting out- rages in the street or lying dead asleep upon^bulks, or at the door e of empty houses," • GOVERNMENT MADE MONEY. In 1748 the Government, finding linable to abate the nuisance, frankly decided to make money out of it. The bill of 1743 (1(1 Geo. II. C. 8) became htw. Indiscriminate s,cile was suppressed, and licensed homes inciertsed (1750) to the in- credible ratio o1. orie to every five POPULAR OTTA.71.1 IN IN LUCK DODD'S KIDNEY FILLS CURED BIM OF STONE IN THE • ' HIDNEYS, S.

The new, therefore, that he has found it complete cure for a danger- ous malady will give general satis- factiou. Speaking of it he says: "My friends all lenow that T. have been troubled for years with Stone in the Kidneys; that though 1 con- sulted the best physicians and tried nearly every remedy I could think of, I was unable to get better. dSorne time ago a friend told me Dodd's ICidney.

'"IThici suburbs of tbe metropolis," wrote Smollett in 1.752, "abounded with an incredible number of public houses, noise of riot and intemperance; they were the haunts of idleness,'fraud and rapine, and the seminaries of drunk- enness, debauchery, extravagance and every vice incident to human nature." Such is a glimpse, of the drink ha- bit in England from 1700-1750; its novelty, to the ordinary student, is in the revelation -that it was the working classes who yielded to -the temptation. We are familiar with the tippling of the rich from fiction, but few have realized that the whole na- tion was threatened. And how was the nation saved from the fate of 'the. Crees or the Ugandi- ans? Not by prohibition petitions —not by legislation—but by a sort of Carrie Nation business inclepeedently inaugurated by individual magistrates all over the country. Urged by pub- lic opinion everywhere, one after the other began suppressing licenses with- out compensation. • The property they had created they took away. In ten years (1780-1790) while popula- tion increased by leaps and bounds, licenses were reduced from a total of 27,172 to 32,850. It was a striking example of how the Anglo-Saxon stock can be relied on to stiffen its backbone, sooner or later, against its own folly. ONE DAY AT HOME. How Hrs. Mortimer Surprises Her Husband.
