Powers el'gthe world. In -part this le due to the admirable crgani;uatiuus of her army and the exploits oe leer navy is the war with China. The Japanese fleet was handled 'lien with an audacity and skill that startled professional ob- servers all over the world, The wank of a sufficiently nureer- Duu fleet pvevented japan from re- tainine the fruits of victory, but her Government at once set to work to create a navy adequate for the pur- poses, of Japanesc polioy. The result is seen in the splendid squadron whloh Tapam will soon have, assem- bled in the liar blast, At the battle of the Yalu, Sept. 17, 1894, which disposed of the Chinese squadron, the . Japanese had eleven vessels aggregating 30,264 tons against twelve-Chinee° ships o£ 34,- 975 tous and four Lorpedo boats. The Chinese squadron comprised two arm- orolads, the Chen -Yuen and Ting- Yuen of 7,480 tons oaoh, superior to any individual. vessel -of the Japan- ese:squadron,' the largest ships "in which were three of 4,300 tons; the Matsu-shima, the flagship, thea It- suku-shima and the HasbldaLe. Their inferiority In armor protec- tion was compensated for by their formidable armament, but they were not able to venture into close quarters with the TWO CHINESE IRONCLADS, anti the Matsu -sautes was sa badly damaged that the Jepanese Admiral had to t easter his flag during the action to the Hashidate. The net result of the fighting was that four of the Chinese ships were �ggunk and several captured, and thre7i';fapan- ese vessels were more or less serious- ly injured. In the less than seven years that have elapsed since then the Japanese navy has made enormous 'strides. Its first line is now composed of six battleships, including' four of the most powerful of their olass afloat. They are the Shiki-shima, ifatsuse, Asahi and Misa-Ka of 14,900 tons and 14,500 horse power, with speed of 18.5 knots. The only thing that can be said against them is that they are furnished with the now coudemned Belleville boilers. The other two battleships are the Yashima and Fuji -Yams of 12,500. tons, 14,100 borsepower and 19 knots speed. The six belong to the Eng; list Majestic class, but are mare mod- ern and have many improvements. They form a compact squadron in themselves superior to that of any other Power in the Far Eastern meas. The armored oruisere number Mix and belong to one class in size, being of 9.850 tons, 19,000 horse power and 22.07 knots speed. Flour of them, like the four great battleships, wore built in England, the other two com- ing from Germany and Frame. The two latter have Belleville boilers. They all manoeuvre with great fa- cility, and are little inferior in fight- ing value to battleships. The protected cruisers number thirteen, ranging from 2,700 to 4,- 800 tons, with horse -power of from 0,100 .Lo' 15,000; and from 1M5 to 28 knots speed. Four are of the new- est designs, and with their speed and armament form .a valuable comple- ment to the preceding armoured cruiser squadron. Two, the Take- ' sago and Yo-shima, are of English build, and the latter by the rapidity of her fire did GREAT EXECUTION TI N among the Chinese ships at the Yalu. The other two, the Kasagi and Chi- ee"‘tthse, are of American construction. ete, the other protected cruisers the oalyeenes of European build are the Idzumle formerly, the Ohilian Esmer- alda, aon'§,yruete�rtEngland, and the Sal -yen, built in Germany and Sap- turefl from the Chinese at the same time' as the Chen -Yuen, ooast de- fence ship, renamed the Chin -yen. The Japanese have also a numer- ous destroyer and torpedo boat flo- tilla of the most modern build, the. destroyers being twelve in number. Their gunboats and unprotected cruisers are now, of course, behind the age and fit only for coast guard and customs service among the is- lands. The great feature 0f the J'apaneso fighting fleet is the equipment of the heavier rapid-fire guns in each ship. This is; the result of the lesson of the Yalu, where the viotory was largely duo to the shower of projectiles thrown lute the Chinese ships. In the event of Japan's finding herself at war with one of the European Powers it is questionable whether any of the squadrons' now in the Par East could make head against tbo fleet the Japanese have,crcatod since 189'4, BUTTER 13Y THE YARD, In Cambridge butter is sold by the yard.

The rugged coast of Neweoandlund sce0ns to possess some mysterious in.. fluonoe upon the shipping that ere. quents these waters. Its reek -ribbed mesterei seaboard is lined with the ruins of hundreds of fine vessels and the banns o1 thousands of seamen and passengers lie in the deep waters about it, There is a mystery, too, meant many of the wrecks. Dee dast a Ably is seen sailing safe on her way. Tbe nextday, perhaps, fragments come ashore to 'tell of her fate, but the manner of her Ines may • never be known. The recent mysterious loss of the steamer Lucerne Is a case in point. About the same time as the Luderne and a fewn!titles nearer St. John's, "a schooner or square-rigged ,sailing matt, met her doom under equally mysterious ' ci'rcumstanoes. Nd clue has been obtained to her identity. All that is known le that hex wreckage in splintered form strews the shore of Blackhead, three miles from St. John's. ' Another mystery identified with Baoaliea, where the 'Lucerne went down, was the loss of the steamer Lion, fifteen years ago, She left 'St. John's for Trinity, seven hours' run, Or. a bright, clear winter's night she diseepeored and the body of a woman passenger, floating on the tide the next day, was the Acne evi- dence from then until now of her taking off. A few years later the same locality chronicled another mnysterious dis- appearance, that of the sohconer Em - melbas. She was bound from St. John's to Twillingate, currying a lot of fisher folk. She was seen by an- other vessel, GOING THE CONTRARY WAY, as she made for the entrance to Mea- n.= Tickle, or Strait, which separates the islet from the mainland. That was about 10. p.m., and the next morning some raffle of deck gear was washed ashore, 'tbat being the sole proof that death had come to all On board. It was six years ago that the Bri- tish ritiah cargo boat Caletro, from Liver- pool for BaItimor'e, missed her reckon-` Iing in the fog aid crashed into,. the promontory that marks the 'extent etf Bacsil:iluu peninsula, Sim became a total loss and three of hermen met a watery grave, but the remainder of her people, inciuding the captain's were, made their way to shore. They were well received and kindly treated bat theer belongings and those of the ship were regarded as legitimate spell by the coast folk, wbo look on a wreak as a merciful i'ntetve'ntion of Providence in their behalf. Prompt- lyt was the ship looted, from keelson to truck, and everything portable was conveyed to some secure 'biding places, while what could not bo easi- ly moved was backed into convenient pieces for transport, or smashed in- to fragments for some trilling gain. When a Magistrate was despatch- ed to the scene with a posse of police to compel restitution and punish the offenders, the mother, of 'the ring- leader welted upon flu: Judge with an ingenious plea for mercy: "Oil, Judge, don't be too Mord on the poor boys!" she said. '"Tis not often they get a chance at anything Why did them steamer people keep so close to the shore, putting tempta- tion in the way of poor people?" The Judge was callous, and a ' SENTENCE OF SIX MONTHS in the penile/glary gave the wreckers ample opperlundty to cogitate on the pnwiedoln of giving •way to sunb temptations in future. A few miles distant a largo Nor- wegian g bark in ballast was driven ashore in a fierce gale. The crew promptly serambied ashore and left. her to her fate, .glad to escape with their lives. When the storm abated the fishermen from the neighborhood assembled in force and stripped her. Again was the Magistrate despatch-' ed with his minion, and again was swift. and sure justice edministerod to the offenders. On this occasion it was the elderly father of one of the strapping young fishermen who pleaded torr his .erring offspring. "I don't know what the Almighty can be thinking of at all," ho Dame mooted; first ho sends us a bad filshcry and how he sends us a damned Narwcgian full of rocks," Obviously tram`this view of it, the looting was of no account. IL ie a strange moral code these fisher folk have, There .Ls no danger too great for thegnb to brave to rescue the unfortunates on a wreak. The best in a fisherman's house is none too good for the castaway. Yet the very mon will then board a derelict and loot her with a thoroughness be- gotten of long practice, At the same time they will respect the sailors kitbag es religiously US ft sacred em- blem.

Kellogg, writing in Modern Medicine. "!Fly attention was called to this a number of years ago. A lady said ebe could not eat our eggs. She wanted 'sunflower eggs_' I asked ber what she meant by that, and she said that an old German at home fed his chick- ens on sunflower seeds, and that. the eggs were remarkably sweet. Some of the eggs were sent for, and this was found to be true. xggs do par- take of the nature of the food whish has been eaten. When chickens are fed on dead calves, dead ]logs, or other dead animals, their eggs will partake of the strong, rank flavors that they have swallowed with their food.
