The Wingham Advance, 1907-05-30, Page 3BRITAIN'S NAVY ON PARApE. Portsmouth Displays tier Battleship Fleet, to Honor onor Premiers" Visit. A. naval cerreepondent writes that the Clolonial Premiers, meml4-s hof bath Houses of Parliament, with other gucsts of the Admiralty, witnessed an imposing naval review at I'oresmouth. They trav- elled from London on is special train and wore met at Portsmouth by Admires' Sir Day Hort lloaanquet, commander in chief and Rear Admiral C. G. Robinson, the Admiral Superintendent of Dock- yards, and other naval and military of - flows. Guests to the number of some five or six hundred were divided into small groups, each having a naval officer as a guide, and cicerone for the the day. They at once proceeded on board the Dreadnought, and after a look around the ship assembled on the upper deck to witness the exhibition by the destroy - ens and submarines. Much has been already written about the Dreadnought, but as the first ship of tier type it is worth while recalling the main islets of her history. The first keel plate of the vessel was laid on October 2, 1005, and ahs was launched by King Edward ou February- 10, 1900, and after undergoing a series of satisfactory trials at the hands of gunnery experts she started on her first long cruise on Jan- uary 6, 1007, a. marvellous feat, when it is remembered that less than eighteen months before not a rivet had been driv- en into her. On January 28 this year she loft Gib- raltar for Trinidad, a distance of about 3,600 miles, where she arrived on Feb- ruary 5, having accomplished the run at a speed of snore than seventeen knots. After undergoing further trials in the West Indies she left 'Trinidad on March 17, and in ten days arrived at Pores - mouth, her avorage speed on the home- ward journey being slightly less than that on the outward voyage. In every roepoet she is said to have satisfied the officers in charge, and the slight mishaps that occurred, such as the bursting of a boiler tube, are not grave matters'. Her water tube boilers were repaired on board by her own ar- tificers with their own appliances. To say the Dreadnought Is in splendid order is merely to say she is a British battle ship in commission. From, the re- marks made by the visitors they appear to have been most struck by the admir- able arrangements for aoconvnodation of officers and men ante the atnwlo space found in her. Conditions which governed the design of the monster ves- sel are gunpowder and speed, and as- sociated with the is protection both above and below the water line. Her main armament consists of ten 12 -inch guns, each of which generates in firing energy approximately 50,000 tons, As eight of these can and have been fired in one broadside, the total enemy is equi- valent to something like 400.000 tons. Each shell weights 860 pounds, and is propelled by the explosion of more than three hundred pounds of cordite, the muzzle velocity being 2.000 feet a record. At the of fical trial each gun was tested singly then in a pair of guns in each of the five barbettes were fired simul- taneously. Next three pairs of guns in the forward harbettes were fired e head and lastly the maxinumt broadsiao of eight gum's was fired on the beam.

Moreover, there are no openings in her watertight bulkhead, obviating the dan- ger of open doors or leakage through de. festive apertures. Tbis reference to protection seems necessary in view of the mimic attack prepared for the enter- tainment of the visitors, for an addition to the network the crinoline had been placed on the outer or seaward side of addition -al defence. I ( ce The the ship -as an acid ons adequacy of this was soon to be tested. for ion a signal being made twelve de- stroyers in three divisions dashed into the harbor at high speed, the boats be- ing 'in one long single line, with but two hundred feet separating each pair of boats as they passed the Dreadnought. Keeping a magnificent station, every alternate destroyer discharged a torpedo into the Dreadnought's not. The con- trast between each of those little ves- sels, snake -like in their movements, and the huge mass of the Dreadnought was most striking, and equally- significant was the accuracy with which each of the missiles found its mark. The flotilla was followed by a group of sub- marines, some in diving trim, The dif- ference in various types was very ap- parent. The 'earliest boats were only sixty-three feet long, with a displace- ment of 100 tons-, whereas the latest boats are 135 feet long and have a dis- placement of more than 300 toms, These boats„ driven by gasolene engines, have a speed, en; the surface, of about twelve knotet and when submerged, using their electric anchors, move through the water at a Peaty of about nine knots. The ex- hibition was simple, pretty, and impres- sive. The nerve, good judgment and skill shown by those in charge was high- ly appreciated by the spectators. The next item in the programme was a drive through the dockyard on -the way to Whale Island, Opportunity was thus afforded. to those present to in- spect work in hand, and the various im- provements which have been introduced in recent years in the naval arsenal on the Whale Island. The drill shed has been decorated with flags and trophies won at gunnery prac- tice. Sixteen tables have seating ac- commodation for more than six hundred persons and ample aecommo every deeseription was provided. During the luncheon, a band played, but there were no speeches. Alter the luncheon a move was made to the grand -stand, specially erected for the witnessing of the spectne10 of the naval attack on the island. The attacking party were dresed in white 'and were further dis- tinguished.:by the use of a white en- eigu, while the defenders, in Blue, carried the Union Jack. The operations were carried out by the men under training in the gunboats attached to the Wand, assistance being gives.

A spadeful of earth is taken out, and in the hole thus made a tree taken from the basket or pail is placed, The roots of this tree should be well spread out. `.Chen the earth is put back and well tramped down. The tree should be placed in the earth about au inch deeper than it was in the nursery bed, in order to allow for heaving of the soft by frost, etc. Some prefer to plough furrows as far apart as the rows of trees are intended to stand. Then the planters go along the furrows and at the required dis- tances put down the tree, bold it in posi- tion and throw some loose earth about the roots, then tramp this earth down thoroughly, and then on to the next tree. The earth may be thrown back into place by another furrow ploughed alongside of the first one, The rate of planting will vary a great deal, In easily worked soil six men ought, after some practice, to be able to plant about five thousand trees per day. It is best to have some men do the ac- tual planting, while others parry trees to them. on , One man or boy can often carry trees to supply two men planting. The number of plants per acre will de- pend on the spacing. Planting four feet by four feet, 2,725 trees will be neces- sary; for planting five feet by five feet, 1,750 trees, and for planting six feet by six feet, 1,210 trees.

It took years to persuade Queen Vic- toria to travel by rail, and the Prince Consort, who gave her a Iead, would step up to the driver of his train at the end of a journey and say; "Not so fast next time, if you please." It was regarded as a great triumph for the railways when the Queen did et last overcome her fears and patronize the new method of locomotion. That, however, did not soothe the fears of France, whose Council of Ministers, when Louis Philippe proposed in the following year to go by special tntin as for as Rouen, -persuaded him that such a mode of traveling was not safe, He went by coach, If prejudice against rapid travel has lingere'ed in some royal minds, it cannot be said that the inclination of tiros° by whom royalty has been advised has mucic outrun them.

Col. Lionel Raymond of the 174th was mortally wounded at a distance of near- ly a mile and a half from the nearest Boer rifle pits at Spion Kop, and Major Ferguson of the Seafortbs watched puffs of smoke for five minutes at Krugers- dorp while large calibre rifle balls kick- ed up the dust at his feet. He was a utile and three-fifths from the Boer sharpshooters. PLANING A FOREST. ON EASILY WORKED SOIL—"HEEL- ING IN"—HOW TO DO IT. In planting trees in a forest planta- tion, three things absolutely necessary to attend to are: 1. Keep the roots of the trees moist, 2. Spread the roots well when platting the trees in the ground, 3. Tramp the earth firmly around the roots. in order to keep the roots of the trees from drying, they are carried in baskets and covered over with wet moss; or they can be carried in pails, partly filled with water, or, better still, very thin laud. If the trees arrive at a time when they cannot be planted immediately, they ehoudl be "heeled in." For this purpose select a shaded spot Which the sun and the wind cannot get at, and here dig a '''•slurped trench, with the sides sloping at quite au angle. Now take a pail or other vessel and in it put water and -earth, so as to form a thin thud; or simply dig a hole in the ground and pour some water in it. Take the seedlings and dip them in this thin mud, then place them in the trench, crowding them pretty closely (but not too- clotse), throw the earth back over the seedlings end tramp it down thoroughly; then put down another row of seedlings, end so mr.

When the journey is short, however, this is not permissible. The man who ]has done a slight ser- vice for a woman during a journey need not expect that she will recognize him by even so much as a bow afterward. The woman who travels alone must, first -of all, be dignified and reserved. She should cordially thank afellow- passenger for any service which he has done for her.

When the mother uses Baby's Own Tablets she has the guarantee of a Government analyst that this medicine contains no opiate or narcotic. They can be given with absolute safety to a new- born baby. They cure indigestion, con- stipation, colic, diarrhoea, and the other minor ailments of children. Mrs. G.

How the Traffic is Regulated Under the Samlag System. The Samlag system in Norway gives power to municipalities to grant all the retail spirit licenses which it deems necessary to a company which would hind itself to carry on the traffic in the interests of the community with a fixed annual return of not more than 6 par • cent. on its paid-up capital. In eetab- lihsing the system the question of com- pensation does of appear to have pre - lag was introduced two kinds of licenses ly or for a term not exceeding five the first no compensation whatever was paid to those dispossessed of their annuity equal to the average yearly profits for the three years preceding the suppression of the license. This provi- sion is still in force. With these provisions the aims and principles of the Samlag are summarized as follows: The elimination of private profit and securing the monopoly value for the public; insuring the highest qual- ity of liquors sold; reduction of the number of licenses; the easy enforcement of the law; the destruction of the power of -the spirit trade, and the furtherance of all progressive measures of reform. The allotment of the profits in Norway at present are as follows: To the state, 65 per cent.; to the municipality in lieu of larger license duties now aboliheed, 16 per cent., and to objects of public utility not being chargeable on the rates but operating as counter attractions to the public houses in towns, 10 per cent., and in the surrounding dietriete, 10 per cent. The combined capital of all the Sam - Tags in Norway in 1904 amounted to $156,000, ad it has never been more than $190,000. The profits of the trade even under these restrictions have contributed since the establishment of the system $7,000,000 for objects of public interest. During the past eight years the propor- tion accruing to the state hes been in- creased and set apart till 1910 to form the nucleus of an old ago pension fund, which now emoute to $2,600,000. The most remarkable fact in the hies tory of Norway sobriety is that while the population increased by about QO . per cent. during the period 1851-1406 ant the imports per inhabitant by about 800 per cent. and the exports by about 200 per cent, the consumption of alcohol per inhabitant decreased by about 4 tipper cent. The decrease in the consumption of alcohol per inhabitant: was meet marked between the years 1871 and 1005, during the Sandal period.
