The United States is the Fifth Naval power in the world The navies of Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy rank ahead in the order named. Germany and the United States are about tied. Our present effective fighting force consists of four battleships of the first class, one battleship of the second class, two armored cruisers, eighteen cruisers, fifteen gun boats, six double turreted monitors, one ram, one dyna mite boat, one dispatch boat, one transport and eight torpedo boats. The lowa weighs nearly 12,000 tons, and as twenty tons is the average load of a freight car and twelve cars is a good load for a locomotive engine, it would take fifty locomotives to haul the great steel structure. The powder used is brown and in chunks the size of a carmel. A charge for the biggest guns weighs 500 pounds and is hoisted to the breach by a der rick, the powder being sewed up in burlap bags. Armor plates are tested by firing steel projectiles weighing from 100 to 1,500 pounds at them from guns charg ed with 500 pounds of powder and at a distance of about a city block. Our battleships have a speed of from fifteen to seventeen knots an hour. Cruisers make nineteen to twenty-four knots, while the monitors can only travel from five to seven knots. The biggest guns in the navy are forty-nine feet long, big enough for a man to crawl into; four feet in diameter at their largest part and weigh 135,500 pounds thereabouts. There are six rear admirals in active service. The offices of admiral and vice admiral are unfilled, so there is no head of the navy excepting Secretary Long. Barnacles form on the hull of a ship, impeding its speed. A six month's cruise will decrease the speed of a ship 15 per cent, and it must go into dry dock. Sixty-one merchant vessels belong ! to the auxilliary navy. These ships j are subsidized and by contract must I be given to the United States on de- I mand. Some of the guns in the navy can fire a shot twelve miles, further than a man can see, for the guns are aimed and sighted by machinery. The amount expended by the navy department in 1897 was $34,561,546. This is a larger sum than has been ex pended in any year since 1868. In a battle the woodwork and all articles of wood are either stowed below or thrown overboard lest the men be injured by splinters. The origin of the navy department | may be said to date from October 13, i 1775, when congress authorized the I equipment of two cruisers. The fastest vessels in the navy are j the torpedo boats Porter and Dupont, i each of which can travel 27.5 knots an I hour. Battleships cost from $2,500,000 to J §3,750,000, and cruisers from $600,000 to j §4,000,000. A good torpedo boat costs i over SIOO,OOO. Battleships are for the navy work; i cruisers are commerce destroyers; monitors are useful only for coast de fense. The Indiana could lie outside Sandy Hook and throw 1,200 pound shots into New York at the rate of four a minute. Those artists who show smoke in their pictures of naval battles are wholly wrong. Smokeless powder is used. All the cruisers are named in honor of cities, and the battleships, except the Kearsarge, in honor of states. The "grog" ration was abolished in 1863, and since then the crew has been ' forbidden to drink while on duty. Marines are the police on board ship, j Originally they were employed to pre vent mutiny among the sailors. The guns of a battleship can carry from six to twelve miles, hurling a shot weighing half a ton. Only 60 per cent, of the enlisted men are Americans, and a smaller per centage yet are native born. Projectiles thrown by naval guns are shaped much as the bullets shot by the ordinary rifle. A big battleship lias on board an electric plant capable of lighting a town of 5,000 inhabitants. The boilers of the lowa have a heat ing surface of eight acres and hold thirty tons of water. Great Britain has 294 torpedo and torpedo boat destroyers. Uncle Sam lias only eight. Five hundred and twenty-six men | and forty officers are required toman the cruiser New York. Battleships are covered with armor of nickel steel from five to seven inches j thick. Pure Bred.

Staking Out Claims. A number of Lock Haven boys are now in Alaska. In a letter to the Loci: Haven 'Express, 1' b't Myers, one of tlie party, writes: TACII.'H, Alas., Mar. 24, '9B. We received letters hero on the 19th of March which were dated at Lock Haven on February 17th. I walked ■ sixty-live miles in twenty-three hours. 1 made the trip for the purpose of obtaining passes for Sam and Tom We sent them ahead to the LittU Salmon river. There is a rich tiiiil there. The gold pans out §1 80 to the 1 shovelful of dirt. We will get two and i perhaps live claims There are three j i creeks and we want to locate claims or all oft hem. We may possibly stake out five claims on each creek. The . pass was made out in all of our names i t:> make it certain anil sure and when . the Major Genera! signed it that made j it binding. Now, 1 will tell you something about i what we are doing out here. We will ! stay here and build our boats We traded one of our horses for a boat and ! ! we are going to build another one our- i 1 selves. One of our horses died last , week This is a hard country on j horses. A bale of hay is worth S3O j ! and a bag of oats is worth §3O. We ! were very glad to get rid of our horses, j We had a bag of oats and half a bale ! of hay left. We sold the hay for §ls i and refused §25 fot the bag of oats. If I we dont get §3O for it here we will take j it down to Lake Barge and sell it for §SO We will be compelled to remain here for two months as it will be that long before the lakes pre clear of iee. We may as well remi in here as down at I the river; staying here will not put us ! back any I am doing the cooking j now. Provisions are almost as valu able here as gold. A sack of flour is ' worth §2l, and a pound of meat is worth .50 cents, and everything else in j the line of provisions in high in price, j We still have fifty-nine sacks of flour ; and lots of all other kinds of provisions. We bought provisions all along the trail from men who became discouraged and sold out and started back home again. When we received the news from home it was almost as welcome 1 as if we had found a gold mine. Our j address now is at Lake Leßarge A man goes from here to Lake Leßarge twice a week, and the mail carrier | goes once a month. He has all of our ' names and an order to get our mail. I That is the way we received our letters from home which had been addressed j to Skaguay. We have our tent on the j ground now for the first time since we started over the trail. The ground is j covered with moss. Our hot lire dried j out the moss and it makes a good floor. | We are able fort lie first time since we i left Skaguay to undress at night and | goto bed right. I baked four loves of good bread | yesterday. We had been living on biscuit for some time and I told the boys I would bake bread for supper. It would have done the people at home good to see the hungry men pitch into the bread. If I get time, I expect to bake pies this afternoon. We are quite anxious to hear about rafting. The boys are no doubt now sailing down the old Susquehanna, as they always do about this time of the year. All the news we hear is very encouraging. Gold is being found on all the rivers and creeks. We are not discouraged in the least, for the pros pects for the future are bright. We are all well. When we reach the Little j Salmon river I will tell you all about] the gold fields there. We feel almost I certain of striking it rich when we get i there. Every day some one comes in j from that section and they all have I lots of gold. ROBERT MYERS. To Tax Payers.

Fill a bottle or common water glass with urin and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys When urin stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre quent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also a convincing proof that tho kidneys and bladder are out of order. What to Do. There i3 comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Itoot the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinarv passages. It corrects inability to hold urin and scald ing pain in passing it,or bad effects fol lowing ur>e of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, hoth sent free by mail, upon receipt of three two-cent stamps to cover cost of postage on the bottle.
