Naval Writer Gives a Fascin-
ating Forecast—British Tar
Will Remain the Same.
What sort of a Navy is "Our Sure
:Shield" going to be in the future?
There will not be much real change
stia the Fleet that the next generation
' is to see, so one might go ahead a bit
and lodk at the possibilities for, say,
the year A.D. 2020, says "Klaxon," a
well-known English naval writer.
The only, way to foreceet the future-
sis to first look back into the past for
guidance.
King Alfred, to protect England
against invasion by the Danes, built
'ships twice as long as those of his
enemy, "both swifter and less , en_
'steady, and also higher than the
iethe`rs." King Alfred's idea of Pro-
tecting his country from invasion was
to go for the enemy at sea.
In Nelaon's dajr anein Beatty's day
he idea was the same; there will be
l"no change from that sound policy in
the year 2020:
There is another rule ithat-one can
get from history, and that is that ships
and weapons go on getting bigger
Alfred's little battleships have grown
Into monsters like the Hood, that i's,
from open boats of sixty rowers P/eY
have become huge armored hulls of
42,000 tons carrying 1,100 men, shaped
dike racing boats, with the speed of a
Midland express, and so icing from
stem to stern that a 300 -yd. drive by a
record-breaking g o 1 i professional
would only just cover theta length.
Taking a resviEr's horse -power as being
one-eighth, King Alfred's flagship
would have engines 73/2 horse -power.
The' -'Hood reckons her horse -power at
144,000, and does not trouble to count
the odd hundreds.
• The first practical submarines were
of about 10 tons with 10 horse -power.
Now they run to 2,600 toms, with 10,-
000 or more horse -power. If the cap-
tain of one of -these modern boats
wishes to speak to an officer aft he
rings him up on the telephone; in
early days he would have merely had
to dig him in the ribs to attract his
attention.
- The Same Old Briton!
The early torpedo boats were little
things of 15 tons—they weigh Dearly
3,000 tons now. The early aeroplanes
-.weighed about 700 lb.; now the big
ones approach 20 tons.
Starting, then, from these facts,
what could we expect 'to see on visit-
ing a big naval base? There will be
submarines there ---small diving cruis-
•- era of 10,000 tons, and diving battle-
ships of 40,000 tons.
The biggest ships will be the sur-
face battle cruisers—great flat-bottom-
ed "skimmers," their bottoms "step-
ped" like hydroplane motor boats, and
drawing but a few feet of water, of
150 ft. beam and 1,200 ft. in length.
The speed of these ships will be 90
knots at least. They will have no
guns, but will carry numbers of aero-
plane shells which can be guided
against an enemy by magnetic waves.
'Under those conditions battles
The aircraft used will be about 100
tens weight and 80,000 horse -Power.
They will join in a battle of their own
at a height of 25,000 ft. above the
fighting fleets.
There ,may be very little land fight-
ing then. '
Things will not, however be Alto-
gether changed; human nature will be
just the same!
Ring Alfred's coxswain, 'a rather
hairy and uncouth man, who wore
sacking round his legs, and a coarse
woollen jumper over the rest of him,
and ,who emote the lfelnisman of the
opposing Danish flagship with skill,
earnestness, and a ten -pound spiked
hemmed with intent to cause the 5aid
he:lineman grievous bodily harm, sras
just the sante man as he who was on
watch in the Great War!
In the year 2020 the same Briton
will be found in the magnetic -deflect-
or room of the super-battle-cruieer, He
will be just the same man as in King
Alfred's or King.aeorge Ws day.
lr. ehort, the Navy of iA.D. 2020 will
carry the same 5ort of men aboard and
will do We same sort of Work as the
Present one, though in a different way.
We neeelmot worry about the ships
and machines 'of the fdture sb long as'
the men are' not going to change;-
: there is a chestnut about a destroyer
steaming at full speed into aetion in
the North Sea in 1915, whose captain's
steward came up tosthe bridge to ask:
"If you please, sir, will you have your
bath before or „after the battle?" I
expect that sort of incident has oc-
curred pretty regularly in our Navy
since Saxon days. (except that our
Saxon ancestors did not wash them-
selves with any dangerous frequensy).
FL PLES and BLOTCHES_
ALL OVER HER FAC.
Pimples, blotches and all other un-
sightly skin troubles arc caused by the
blood being in an impure condition.
Those little festering sores, appear on the
forehead, on the nose, on the chin, and
other parts of the body, and although
they are not a dangerous trouble they
are very unsightly.
These is only onc way to get rid of
there, and that is by purifying the blood
of all Its 11Dpurities. '
Bustle& Blood Bitters is without a
doubt the beet remedy for this purpose

A Survey of Homestead Statistics.
United States immigration to Cana-
da has always been regarded in so de-
sirable a light, largely because the ma-
aoritY of those emigrating to the Do -
Minion find their way to the land,
where the Dominion has the greatest
econemic need of them, whereas a
large section of the British emigration
tide flows into the cities and indus-
trial centres. American settlers have,
in the past, been possessed_ Of the
greatest per capita wealth on arriral
in Canada, for which reason a great
many have been in the habit of pur-
chasing improved farms and become
producing assets to the Dominion svith-
out any lass of time w-hatever. A sur-
vey of hothestead statistics, however,
also reveals the -fact that they have
constituted the moSt important single
actor in the settlement of these lands,
and that in the filing anika eving on
he approximate 500,000 ho s ,steads
of the` past 'twenty year,' former
United States citizens have been re-
ponsible for the settlement of nearly
40,000, or almost thirty per cent. The
British Isles, talren •together, account -
O for about 91,00.0 entries, divided
ppraximately, into English, 67,500;
cotch, 17;000; and Irish, 6,500. This
ms surpassed by the settlement of
antinentali 'peoples in general who
led nearly 100,000 quarter -sec -
Ions of western land.
The banner year of homestead entry
was 1911, when 44,479 applications
were received iat the various land Of-
fices. Figures dropped somewhat un-
til the outbreak of the war, when in
1914 31,329 potential farmers frcim all
countries hook homesteads. During
the fiscal years 1915, 1916, 1917 and
1913, a total of. only 60,636 'homesteads
were taken up, in 1919 only 4,227, in
1920 6,732, and In the first seven

Paris is not the capital of France.
This is not a paradox, Dor a joke, but
an official fact. Parisians who are

disturbed in their minds, for from the
fact that Paris has ceased to be the
