Great Changes Have Been Brought About During the Last Twenty Years. When we look at the map and see how narrow is the strip of eater that separates our dear old England from her continental neighbors we aro tempted to wonder what it is that bus fur so long kept our island inviolate, how it is that in these Mien of be lit eteum-navies the coun- try's soil has no. er been pressed by the foot of an invader says I'earson's Weekly. The answer to this query is fur- nished by the Channel Fleet. Anal yet there have been times when, had tho British public realised the weakness of this defence, they would have trembled for their secur- ity. Eighteen years ago, the year of all the pomp and glory of tho J 'rbilee, the position c` England as regards her Empire of the seas was a very precarious one. Lord George Hamilton's Naval Defence Act had not yet been intro- duced, and the guardianship of the Channel was intrusted to a squadron of o1(1 vessels, ranging from the Agincourt, built as flu' back as 1868, to the Tenteraire, of 1876. Vice -Admiral Sir W. N. W. Hewett flow his ling on the old Sultan, a ship, which was a couple of years later to suffer wreck on the island of Conine, in the iacditerruneat, end which was replaced as flagship in the following eear by the Northumber- land. SOME STRANGE CRAFT. Curious old boats they were, crit- icised in their clay because of the great target they oFered to the guns of the enemy, and the difficulty they had, owing to their immense length, in performing the necessary turning evolutions at all rapidly. The Northumberland, now a depot ship at Chatham, carried no fewer than five masts, and there is a story told of how once in thick weather outside Plymouth the captain of an- other vessel routing across her wait- ed until three masts had passed, and then steamed ahead thinking he had come to the end of her, only to find, when the inevitable collision occurr- ed, that there were yet two more masts to come. Sails still played an important part in the movements of these ves- sels, and the whole squadron crept along at a pace of from eight to ten knots an hoar. At the beginning of the lost de- cade o-cade of the nineteenth century sweep- ing changer, were made in the con- stitution of the Navy, and till of these ships were sent into the reserve, the Northumberland going to Port- land to become the flagship of the Ill-fated Sir George 'Ivy ron. FOUR POWERFUL SHIPS. in their stead four battleships of the old Admiral class formed the Channel Squadron, the ('nniperdown, Anson, dose, and Rodney, together with the then new belted cruisers, Aurora and Immnrtalite. This was a powerful combination for those days, and Sir Michael ('ulme-Seymour, who was in command, had under his or- ders a squadron as powerful as any then afloat, with the single exception of our own Mediterranean Fleet. Even now, fifteen years later. these vessels might Five a very good no - count of themselves in time of war, and many Naval officers would read- ily take them into action against such ships as those comprising the motley array of Admiral Rodjcatven sky. Thus mottos remained until 1893, when the ('nmperdown and Anson were rent to reinforce over fleet In the Mediterranean, the former to fly the ling of Itear-Admiral Markham on that terrible day in June, when one of England's fine*t warships was sent to the bottom of the harbor of Tripoli, carrying with her the com- mander -In -chief and nearly 400 offi- cers and men.

BURNS CURED BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. He Had Chronic Inflammation of the Kidneys—Says His Brothel Foresters can Tell all About it. Darnley, I'.E.1, April 17—(Special) —John J. Burns, a prominent mem- ber of the I. 0.1e. here, whose cure of Chronic inflammation of the Loins and Kidneys caused a a nsa- lion some time ago, reports that he is still in splendid health. "Yes." says far. Burns, "my cure is entirely satisfactory. I have bad no trouble since I used Dodd's Kidney Pills. They drove away the disease from which I suffered for eight years. "No, I'll never forget Dodd's Kid- ney fills.

In the meantime the Reserve or Coastguard Squadron had been grad- ually improving in strength and cohesion under the successive Admir- als Seymour, Compton, i)oilleile, and Noel. As the battleships of the Admiral class came home from the Mediterran- ean they replaced elder vessels in this coastguard service, and it be- came customary for them to meet at least once a year and manoeuvre to- gether as a combined squadron. For a long while the Duke of Edin- burgh's old flagship, the Alexandra, remained at Portland at the sert•k(' of the Admiral Superintendent of the Reserves, but at last she was re- placo 1 by the Revenge, a -,ewer and more powerful vessel altogether, a rear -admiral was appointed as second in command, and the Reserve or Monne Fleet finally carne into being as an important factor in the de- fence of the country. "SiiSTRESS OF THE SEAS." When Lord Charles lieresford took over the command of the Channel Fleet—now composed of six Majesties and several powerful cruisers—from Admiral Wilson, the hitter was ap- pointed to tho Ilotne fleet, and he soon brought this force into a higher state of eflicioney than it had ever been in before. The two Chilian battleships, pur- chased by the Government—for their nd. a the most powerful Ironclads afloat—were added to this force, which has now under the new t lle:no of Admiralty organisation bedtime the rear Channel Fleet, the old squadron of that none being re- christened the Atlantic Fleet, with headquarters at Gibraltar. With such titre forces at her com- mand, Britain need never undergo the least fear of invasion, and the imposing array of war vessels that assembled at Portland at the time of the North Sea outrage was enough to )ride—"Here le a telegram from ren'aure the most timorous as to the safety, s0 far as Britain was concerned, of the crowded waters of the Chantu1.

Some curious instances of the physical defect of "word blindness" are given in the Lancet. The dis- ease is, fortunately, uncommon. In one case the sufferer, an Englishman, thirty-four years of age, who knew Greek, Latin, and French well, nude denly lost all knowledge of leoglish, though he could read and understand Greek perfectly and Latin and French in a rather smaller degree. Another ano almost more curious case wan that of a man who lost the power of reading at sight. Ibis patient was able to write accurately from dictation, but was completely una',lo to read what he had written. Word blindness is apparently skis to color blindness, but is certainly atton.ted by much more inennveniesnt conse- quences. In its initial stages a cold is a local ailment easily dealt with.
