War in The Transvaal

THE FLEETS OF THE WCRLD.

Stand in 1900.

A return, showing the strength of the fleets of the seven great naval powers, has just been issued. It gives the following as the strength of the British, French and Russian fleets in the most important classes :

Eng. Fr. Rus.

Particulars of the south Africa.

The minimum standard for England, as laid down by Lord George Hamil- ton in 1889, when introducing the Naval Defence Act, and since accepted , by all parties, is that the British navy shall have an equal number of battle—

powers, plusa reserve for unexpected | contingencies.

On papers, yes; in real truth, per-! haps not.

The list of British battleships in- cludes one vessel 34 years old and ab- solutely worthless : 8 ships 30 years or more old and armed with muzzle load- ers ; and 8 other ships from 20 to 29

Have we maintained that standard ? }

Struggle in

observers were enabled more than once to direct the fire of the artillery. Two messages are reported verbatim. One ran: “Our shells are falling short of Pepworth Ridge,” upon which the naval guns were brought np and “Long Tom” silenced. The other message gave the order to fire ‘‘more to the left,” with the result that three shots were sufficient to silence the guns. This was valuable service, in- deed.

An invalid soldier from the Cape says it is not the case that they can get what they like in the hospital. Fruit, for instance, is never supplied by the authorities.

The question had been asked wheth- er the fumes given out by an exploding lyddite shell have a fatal effect on human beings. Though poisonous, they do not kill in the open air.

Before the 18th Hussars sailed for South Africa they bet another regiment

first. They are there~-but people are asking if they have won the bet or not.

The Transvaal government has re- duced the wages of the natives at all the mines that are being worked, from eighty to twenty shillingsfper month. This means a saving of # 1,500,000 per annum.

53 battleships. If we deduct similar vessels from the other navies, France had 32 battleships and Russia 24.

That is to say France and Russia have 56 eificient battleships to 53 British. In Germany, all battleships are reckoned[ineffective when fhey are 25 years old,

In armored cruisers the case is al- most as bad. Of our 31 armored cruisers 8 are aged and worthless ships armed with muzzle-loaders, with en- gines and boilers incapable of steam-- ing. Two of theee vessels are 39 years old,

In the French and Russian lists there are six armored cruisers which are nearly as bad.

Thus the revised total of efficient ships in the most important class is: SN ars's's wo Jn 0s ss ss dn bee ees 23 eS eee eee 26

In protected cruisers we have a great advantage, but jthen we have a vast commerce and a world wide em- pire tc defend.

It is unsatisfactory to note that we have no cruisers of 23 knots or over completed, and none likely to be ready for another three years. France has one of 2314 knots ready. one more all but complete, and three Russian cruisers of 23 or 25 knots will be de-- livered this summer.

Altogether it is clear “hat we shall have to prepare for greater efforts this year. The heavy outlay of 1889--1900 has not been unproductive of result, but we have to face the most deter- mined efforts and the most profuse out- lay of rivals,

Eczema on the Scalp

Some of the cures effected by Dr. Chase’s Ointment are more like miracles than anything else. The case recorded here was one of the worst ever brought to the attention of Toronto's best physicians, and when doctors gave up all hope of recovery Dr. Chase’s Ointment was successful in vroducing a perfect cure.

Mr. James Scott, 136 Wright Ave., Toronto, states: ‘‘My boy Tom, aged ten, was for nearly three years afflicted with a bad form of Eczema of the scalp, which was very unsightly and resisted all kinds of remedies and doctor's treatment. His head was in a terrible state. We had to keep him from school, and at times his head would bleed, and the child would scream with agony. For two and a half years we battled with it in vain, but at last found a eure in Dr. Chase’s Ointment. About five boxes were used, The original sores dried up, leaving the skin in its normal condition. 0 say it is a pleasure to testify to the wonderful merits of Dr. Chase’s Ointment is putting it very mildly.”

Splendid Showing made by Dodd’s Kidney Pills in Queen City.

| _—

Toronto, Jan. 16.—It is interesting to note that this city, the headquarters of | Dodd’s Kidney Pills in Canada, and tbe | place where they were first diecovered, keeps well in the front as regards the number of those cured in the towns and

ships to those of the next two strongest “500 that they would be in Pretoria cities ot Ontario. As Dodd’s Kidney

| Pills have since made friends all over the civilized world, this fact is of wide and | significant interest, showing that Dodd’s Kidney Pills retain their holdon public _esteem purely on theirtried merits, | Alexander Brown, 119 Elizabeth Street, says:—“*] have been troubled with | Rheumatiem for three years, also with , pains in my back. I bave tried several renedies, but conld net get any relief. I | have used two boxes of Dodd’s Kidney

| Pil!s and am wow a well man.”
