EVOLUTION OF
CHANNEL FLEET.
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.

JOHN J. 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

says far. Burns, "my cure is entirely

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. Tho doctor could not help

ment led me to try 1)o hFe Kidney

the King, patrolled the Channel with
four Majesties and three Royal Sov-
ereigns, whilst in the following dear,
when Sir harry Rawson took up
the command, another lino warship
of the Majestic class was added to
the fleet, bringing up the total
strength to eight battleships of the
first class with attendant cruisers.
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

WORD BLINDNESS.
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

by much more inennveniesnt conse-
quences.
