On 'tiling should ba impressed upon

Yukon country, ami that i the neces-
sity of providing n adequate and prop
ar food supply. Whether procured in
the States, in the Dominion) or at the
supbIv stores here or further on, this
must be his primary concern. Upon
tlie maimer in which the miner hat ob
served or neglected this precaution
more than upon any other ono thing
will his iuooom or failure depend. .
These inppliea must be healthful and
should be conoentrated, but the most
oareful attention in the selection of
foods that will keep unitnparied indufl
nitely onder all the conditions which
they will have to encounter is impera
tire. For instance, as bread raised
with baking powder must be relied
upon for the chief part of every meal.
imagine the belplessnes of a miner
with a can of spoiled baking powder.
Buy only the very best flour; it ia the
cheapest in the end. Experience has
shown the Koyal Baking Powder to be
the most reliable, and the trading com
pauies now uniformly supply this
brand, as others will not keep in this
climate. Be sure that tlie bacon is
sweet, sound and thoroughly oured,
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place a chief reliance,
and can under no circumstance be
neglected. They may, of course, be
supplemented by as many comforts or
delicacies as the prospector may be
able to pack or desire to pay for.

An American machine maker who
has a large British trade, wishing,
during a recent visit to England, to
have a machine constructed, found that
it would cost $175, while in his own
factory, paying double English wsges
and employing the best material and
workmanship, the cost was but $70.
This discrepancy is due to the use of
labor-saving machinery in America,

ble occurrence
In the harbor of
Havana, which
resulted In the
destruction o f
millions of Fed
eral property in
the shape of the
battleship
Maine and the
death of nearly
300 sailors,
startled a great
deal of specula
tion as to the real vulue of our navy and
Its relative Importance among the
naval armaments of the world. It has
revived the discussion of what the r
suit of a war between the United
State and a foreign nation would be,

and brought forward the three opin
ions concerning such matters, vis. the
theory which holds that we have no
more use for a navy comparable to
that of the great nations of Europe
than we have for a standing army like
that of Great Britain, Germany
Frauce or Russia; the stand that the
money put Into our navy would better
have been expended In coast defenses;
and lastly that opinion which demands
that on land and sea we should be
equally powerful to any nation on
earth." ' . x
It Is now over half a century since
the guns of this country were turned
npon a foreign foe, and this long period
of peace has inclined a very large pro
portion of American citixens to the first
named course of reasoning. The mid-
die ground position is beld by the wast
defense theorist. They believe that
with our coast defended by modern
fortifications and guus we can almost
dispense with a heavy navy altogether.
The third party believes In the widest
possible display of our naval power.
At the present time the only country
with which we are likely to become
embroiled In strife is Spain, and as a
war with the Spanish would be largely
naval one it is therefore of Interest
to consider what the possibilities of
such a war might be.
Since the Maine went down numer
ous reports have been spread broad
cast that Spain Is now superior to us
as a naval power, and many persona
have grave fears as to the outcome of
conflict. Let us see. Since 1883
Congress has authorized the construc
tion of seventy-seven war vessels, at
a cost of $134,439,700.10. Sixteen of
the vessels have not yet been com
pleted. The vessels authorised since
1883 are as follows: Battleships, first
class, nine; battleships, second-class,
two; cruisers, 18; gunboats, 15; harbor
defense ram, one; monitors, six; dyna
mite cruiser, one; torpedo boats, 21;
submarine torpedo boat, one; training
ships for cadets, two; dispatch boat,
one.
Of the sixteen ships of war now un
der construction, the Secretary of the
Navy estimate that all will be com
pleted during the present year except
5?
TilK GUX THAT GUABD3
the five battleships, which will prob
ably not be .ready for service until the
latter part of the coming year. It Is,
therefore, obvious that the United
States is not so powerless npon the
eas aa some would have It understood.
During the past ten years there have
been expended yearly on seacoast for
tifications and their armaments and
for submarine mine and torpedoes the
sum of 140,000,000; our principal sea
port towns have thus been put In con
dition so that, with the aid of the
navy, the country could easily resist
the attack of any one of toe great naval
power of the world.
There Is no doubt as to which of the
two nations, Spain or th United
States, Is the stronger from a naval
standpoint In ships and armament
we have by far the superior navy.
While Spain has more men In her navy,
we outnumber ber In ships, although
she includes some splendid cruiser In
ber list. Like us, she I adding to her
navy, replacing the boat she lost In
1895. She is obliged to have this done,
however, abroad, as she has no ship
yards of her own. Her limited credit
has kept back this work, and It I not
likely tbat the boat now under way
would be completed even on "rush"
orders before two year from now.
Then, too, the classificatjona made in
the tables favor Spain, placing boats
in the second class of battle-ships
wblch, although heavier than our sole
remaining specimen of that class, could
not cope with It.

LOVING ROMEO AND JULIET.

There 1 strong evidence that the or

of Teruel, an ancient city In Spain. The

Romeo and Juliet in Italy, and th two
closely resemble one another. It I
merely the story of two young lover
who die rather than live without one

Archer M. Huntington, tudnt of
Sjiilsh literature, ha rlejted Tf ruel
fighting as the United State has on
the Atlantic coast, eliminating torpedo
boata, which can operate, by the na
ture of things, only In home waters.
But what about the ships themselves!
Spain has only one first-class battle
shin, the Pelayo; we have in the East
the Indiana, Iowa, aud Massachusetts.
Spain strictly has no battleship of the
second grade; we have only one now,
the Texas, sister ship practically of the
Maine. Spain hns one iron and use
less monitor, the Puig-Cerda; we have
four of them, matchless fighters the
Puritan, Terror, Mlantonomah, and
Aniphltrtte. Spain has six armored
cruisers, all of them practically la
splendid fighting trim the Almlrante,
Oquendo, Carlos V., Infanta Maria Ter
esa, Prlncesa de Asturlas, and Vlxcaya.
We have two such vessels th New
York aud Brooklyn. For defensive
fighting our four monitors are superior
to the three armored cruisers which
we seem to lack In comparison with
Spain, but, allowing that they are only
equal, it may be said that in that class
tie navies of the two nation are of
equal strength. .
That throw the comparison back to
battleships, of which we have four
available, three first-class and one second-class,
and of which Spain has only
one available, the first-class Pelayo.
The armament of the monitors and ar
mored cruisers on both side Is practi
cally equal. The armament of battle
ships Is four to one In our favor, and It
Is the kind of armament that tells ten
to one In a uaval battle. So much for
strictly fighting ships. We have ten,
Spain has six. In protected cruisers
Spain has not more than fifteen and we
have ten available on the Atlantic
roast. The armament of our ten, care
ful calculation shows, Is a little more
than equal to that of Spain's fifteen.

A Whitehead torpedo fired from an overhead tube and its proftn-ui throub tlie water. Ou striking the water the tpr
pedo is propelletl at tremendous' speed by its own engine. In the forward portion of the torpedo is carried an exploitive
charge of 150 pounds of gun cotton. The mass is exploded by a percussion ' fitted into the uozile of the weapon.
The torpedo would wreck the strongest ship afloat. ,
Of gunboats Spain seem to have
twenty; we have not more than, twelve
on the North Atlantic coast. Nearly
one-half of Spain's gunboats, according
to Lord Brassey, the great English a
thorltv. are "small steamers from 80
to 348 tons." In the piatter of unar
mored ships, the commerce destroyers,
Spain has a slight advantage in num
bers; we have a slight advantage in
strength. We could nse our torpedo-
boats; Spain couldn't get hers over
here. We could use our ram Katabdln
and our Holland submarine boat; Spain
has no such vessels.

spite the loss of the Maine the United
States has a decided advantage. Bat
tleships are the ones that count in real
fighting. But naval battles are not
won solely by ships and guns. They are
won by men valorous men, patriotic
men on board the ships. Our ships
are manned by seamen nine-tenths of
whom are American seamen. Span
lards, of course, man Spain's ships.
There you are ss to men; Americans on
one side and Spaniards on the other.
Need more be said?
Stronger than any reason yet given
as to the result of a fight between us
and Spain is the one to be deduced
from the scene of action of war. The
war would take place in and around
Cuba. We could get coal easily and
Spain could not It's the coal In the
bunkers as much If not more than the
powder and shot in the magazines that
decides naval contest to-day. The
man at the stokehole Is just as Import
ant as the man behind the gun. Spain
can't whip us on this side of the Atlan
tic, that's sure; we shall not fight on
the other side.
One Serione Disadvantage.
In a naval war with Spain we would
have the disadvantage of a tremen
dous coast line, east, south and west, to
defend. We could do little damage to
Spain's commerce, because she has
comparatively a small amount, while
some of her second, third or fourth-rate
boats, while keeping away from our
cruisers, could do us almost Irrepara
ble damage. The power of the mod
em ships' guns enables them to do

outside of army circles tbat New York
Is one of the most strongly defended
towns In the world. No vessel could
get within fifteen miles of the battery

which befell the Maine.
The entire harbor is thoroughly
mined and wires run to underground
casemate where the operators work.

"Finally," say Mr. Huntington, "in

last the Importance of their mummi
fied lovers, bad them placed npon a

this caution is apparent when it Is re
membered that any Interference with
the wire by the subject of some for-
cigu nation might disturb the work so
tbat none of the mines could be used.
Another great means of defense Is in
the big disappearing guns, which work
as if they have human Intelligence. No
fort Is necessary for these guns. The
gunner are absolutely protected by a
big parapet. When the gun Is at rest,
It, too, Is concealed behind the parapet,
where it Is loaded. When firing be
comes necessary ponderous machinery
raises the big cannon so that It mouth
