ALL -CONQUERING GUN.
Seven of the Dreadnoughts in the
Home Fleet can bring four turrets,- each
centaining two of these monster guns, to
bear on either broadside. The other three
are newer ships, and are so constructed
as to bring all five turrets, mounting
ten 12 -inch guns, into action on either
beam. The deetructive power of such
an armament is terrible. The American
bettleship New Hampshire *hot the old
battleship Texas to pieces in a few min-
utes with a few rounds at a range of
approximately 10,000 yards. But the mod-
ern Dreadnought es as much more Power-
ful than the New Hampshire as the New
Hampshire was more powerful than the
Tens. No armor yet designed can
stand against the modern sharp -pointed

such a range 50 per cent, of shots ought
to bit.
Besides tee ten Dreadnoughts, the bat --
the divisions of the Home Fleet include
two ships of the Lord Nelson type. These
are alder, but very heavily armed. Each
them carries four 12 -inch and ten 9.2 inch
guns, and the 9.2 inch weapon is capable,
when worked by a skilled crew, of dis-
charging three or tour shots a minute.
Its 'fire, If impotent a,gainst the armour
JS the newer ships, would •tear down
funnels and superstructures 111 a blast
of fragments and whirling steel. Four
battleships of the Xing Edward class,
nun nting each four 12 -Inch guns, four
9.2 inch and ten 0 -inch guns, bring up the
rear. They are speedily to be replaced
by the new units of the Orlon class,
which will bring into action ten 'guns of
115 inch calibre, aud which are as super -
lo --to the Dreadnought as she is superl
tor to all alder ships.
CRUISER'S DEADLY ROLE.

ed to this fleet are of exceptional power.

each of which brings to beer eight 12 -

ntored cruisers in battle is to outflank
the enemy by the use of their speed, to
pass across thehead of his line of bat-
tleships, which is technically known as
"crossing the T," and to rake las leading'
ships with their concentrated fire. For
this deadly purpose t he Dreadnought
crelsers are admirably designed and arm-
ed, s.nd it is here that their high turn of
speed finds he explanation,
The Fleet is weakest insernan cruisers,
oe which it has only three, but these are
of the latest type, Including three ships
of the "Town" elass, which have speeds

ABSENT DEBTRoYtrtg,
The torpedo flotilla, if at full service,
stmild be exceedingly forznidable, It con-
sists of forty-eight destroyers of the
first two flotillas, with the large destroy-
er await in addition. All the forty-eight
boats are new. Twelve of them are of
thine Tribal class, and have trial speeds
of SS to se knots. Fifteen are or the Bae.
tusk class, nineteen (the newest of all)
of the Acorn class, and only two of the
older "River' 'type. They displace from
550 to 1,060 tone, e,nd each carries two
le -inch or 21 -inch torpedo tubes. Unfortu-
lintels many of them are abseet, under..
goiug repairs as the result of the inurlesj
which they sustained two months age,
when they were driven against a heavy
head sea in the Atlantic, But aa some
compensation fot these absentees the
third flotilla of destroyers, some twenty
boats strong, is also in the north; so
that the actual effective force is sixty
boats or thereabouts, The third flotilla
destroyers are older. but they are etill
very serviceable craft.
Attached to the fleet or its destroyer
mulles are a number of repair ships,
depot veseeis, arid scouts. The Cyclops
and Assistance may be described as float)
Ing dockyards. They can make castings,
simply spare parts and effect any ordin-
ary repairs. .A. ship of this type was
feend invaluable. by the American Fleet
during the war with Spain.
THE PLING BASE.
The eholee of the north of Scotland as
the flying base of the Home Fleet ar-
ises from the admirable strategicel posi-
tion of Cromarty, weere that Fleet has
at present Its headquarters. The front
which the British Isles extend: towards
the North Sea measures roughly a line
of 700 miles from the Shetlands to Dover.
Cromarty is about two hundred miles
from the northern end of that line.. A
naval force stationed there is admirably:
placed to command the northern exit
from the North Sea, while it could take
on the flank and crush any attack direct-
ed from the Continent against the British
coast. Thus two birds are killed with
one stone. An additional advantage is
that Cromarty is well outsIde the radius
of hostile torpedo flotillas, which could
not make the run to it from the torpedo
merstee,' and from such surprises as be-

AETER EffECTS Of FEVER
How to Build Up Health and
Strength After Wasting
Diseases.
When the system is run down, toll:m-
ing attacks of fever, la grippe, or other
wasting diseases, Dr. Winiams' Pink
Mlle are of special value. They make
new, rich blood, which reaches every
organ and every- nerve in the body, and
in this way restore the patient to active
health and strength. In prod of this
we give the ease of Mrs. James Randalt,
Silverstreem, Brisk., who says: el feel
that if there is anyone who .ought to
testify to the merits of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pelle it is myself: About four
years ago I was taken down with ty.
phold fever, which, left me in a very
weak state and my stomach so impaired
that even a drink of milk would cause
me pain. TO make matters worse the
-change of life followed, and although
was under the cam Of one a the best
doctors, I was steadily growing worse,
Before I was sick I had often revel of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pine, but thought
no more about them, But now when
I was sick and helpless and almost hope-
less, and with no benefit earning from
medical treatment, I kept thinking of
the Pills and finally decided to try them.
I did so and' I am thankful to be able
tosay that they restored me to health
and strength, and enabled me to pass
through that trying period, from which
so many poor women emerge with shat-
tered health, I hope that many other
poor sufferers iney read this statement
and take fresh courage from it, as I am
sure that what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
have done for me they will do for oth-
ers. I may add that I always keep Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills in the home, and
feel that they are. better than a doc-

A Children's Tragedy of the Sea.
Almost pathetie story of death from
hunger and exposure and the drifting
out to ma of .two. small boys eomes
from the far emit coast of the Canadian
Labrador. Recently two sons of Mrs.
Buckle, of Bonne Esperance, went out
for a. row, when suddenly they were en-
shrouded. in a dense fog, which prevents"
ed them from seeing their way .back to
She .shore. There was great grief and
lamentation in the afflicted home and in
the entire settlement that nIght when
darkness followed the fot arid no tidinga
of the 'missing children -were received.

The excitement that was caused am.

when the report spread at the door of

be imagined. The rumor proved correct.

exceedingly atritightforward manner.

TREATING TIIE FOREST AS A CROP
The progress of ‚she couservation pol-
icy in Canada, ati applied to Wrest re.
sources, depends more upon the forestry
brench of the Department of the In-
terior than upon any other organization.
Upon the technical knowledge are ex-
ecutive ability of the officers Of the
forestry branch depends the futere of
the eoreet on, 10,000,00(3 acres. of Domin-
ion forest reserves, as well as upon the
large aree of non-aggicultural forest
land in Western Cunada, which ler the
good. of the country linty yet be set

Addition to looking after .Oominion
lands, the forestry branch la now being
asked by eastern land ownera -to funnels
advice it to the best means of securing
at the earliest date a profitable crop
of timber on waste land of wood lots.
The proper administration of forest
lands requires a epecial knowledge of
the trees best adapted to each region,
of their uses, and of the markets. Fur-
ther, there ie needed knowledge of the
habits of nil trees, especial)y of the
merchantable species, so that it may be
known how rapidly they grow, how they
produce their seed, when • and under
what conditions the seed germinates,
and in what way the seedlings and
young trees are affected by their stir-
rounclings. Stich knowledge Is gained
only bylong study and experience. In
order that the new Rock's, Mountaie
forest reserves may be administered ac-
cording to the latest ?scientific knowl-
edge and the best experience, the for.
eetry branch is now making detailed
studies of the lutbite of the merchant-
able species of tree o on the eastern slope
a the Rockies in Alberta, and has sent
one of the men in charge of the Work
to study tho systems of forest manage-
ment praetised during the past few
years by the highly developed United
State e forest service in flies national for -
este of 'Montana. The 'United States
foresters have spent large sums of.
money andavailed themselves of the

plans of lumbering which do not incon-
venience the lumbermen, but which en-
sure the protection and reproduction of

branch intends to benefit largely by
their experienee.
A TEST.
Lincoln Be:whey, after his flight over
Niagara Falls in a biplane, was con-
gratulated on his daring by a reporter.
"But I wasn't daring," the aviator said
."r put my inachine oaly to ?such ordeals
as I knew it would withstand. In flying
ae in love we must run no risks." He
laughed softly. "I know.," he said, "a
young woman about to wed who de-
cided at the last mama to test her
sweetheart. So, selecting the prettiest
girl she knew, she said to her, though
she knew it was a dangeroua risk; '1'11
arrange for Jack to take you out to-
night—a walk on the beach in the moon-
light, a lobeter supper, and all that sort
of things—and I want you in order to
put his fidelity to the proof to ask him
for a kiss.' The other girl laughed,
blushed, and assented. The dangerous
plot was carried otit. Then, the next
day, the girl in love visited the pretty
one and said, anxiously: 'Well, did
you ask liim?"No, dear,"No? Why
not?' I didn't get a chance. Ile ask -
me first.'"

THE STREET A STAGE.
(Bruce, in Vancouver Sunset.)
The streets are a stage, set some-
times to melodrama, or to a pageant;
more often to a comedy. As in some
Elizabethan plea we who witness it
may be both spectators and players. In
'Vancouver the play is never dull, the
scenery is often striking in color, and
the players often picturesque in interest.
In larger cities the play is more spec-
tacular, with less of human interest, per-
haps, end more emphasis on the "pro-
perties." The play is always improvised,
and the street sends up aceompaniment
to the piece that is always playing; the
comedie humaine. It is difficult to ren-
der the quick -shifting movement of the
street types and scenes, and he wouhl
be a, clever artist who could in his
book catch the essence of the eternal
comedy. It is the hUnlanneas of it all
that, has such interest and charm. The
street has movement, not mere -motion;
the people yo usee are of the streets,
not merely hi it. In Vancouver is little
stmalor, little slum life, little crime, lit-
tle to be teen that is unpleasant or sug-
gestive.

Valuable Advice to Mothers.
If your child coma in from piay,
coughing or showing evidences of Grippe,
Sore Throat, or siekness of any kihd, get
-out your bottle of Nerviline. Rub the
ehest and neck with Nerviline, and give
internal doses of ten drops of Nervitine
in sweetened. water every tWo hours.

Xerviline, which has been the great
family remedy in Canada for the past
fifty years. Try a 25o bottle of :sterns
