Hurrying Up a Fighting Navy.
Since the blowing up of the Maine in
DE} vans. harbor the American navy has
he an put on a war footing with an en-
ergy and rapidity that is characteristi-
c~dly fimerican. Two new cruisers
have been purchased, the Minneapolis
and Columbia have been put in com-
mission and fully equipped for service,
also the Miantonomoh and the Katah-
din; the old monitors have been drag-
ged out of the mud of the back channel
at League Island to be fitted for ser-
vice; large stores of naval ammunition
have been contracted for; the war ves-
sels at sea are being concentrated at
available strategic points; enlistment
of seamen to man the war vessels is
going forward at a rapid rate and the
amt fortifications are being perfected
and armed with modern guns.
These hasty war preparations will
Seamless cost a pretty penny, f or armies
andmasties are expensive luxuries, and
malice and Davies hastily summoned
into active service are doubly expen-
sive. The expenditures and prepara-
tions new going forward under the
threat. of speedy war are only those,
however, which should have been made
mug ago in the interest of peace. We

are paper barrels and paper bottles
for beer or other beverages. For a
long time the price of many liquid
commodities sold in bulk has been
gauged by the price of the barrels in
which they are transported. The bar-
rels are'constructed for the greater
part of paper cardboard, which is im-
pervious to water. They are slightly
shorter in height than the ordinary
Dari-rel, but will hold as much, as they
arewithout the usual bilge of the
wooden barrel. The paper in the walls
of the barrel is three-fourths of an
,-i:;ch in thickness, of many plies, be-
tween which are thick coatings of 3.
About the
middle of the barrel is a single hoop
of steel, three inches wide and-three-
eights of an inch thick. This, there-
fore,extends from the barrel to such a
distance as to permit of the barrel be-
ing readily swung about on its center.
Pressed over the ends of the walls of
the barrel are rims of pressed steel
three—fourths of an inch thick and ex-
tending downward three inches. It is
on an indented surface in the inner
portion of this rim that the head of the
barrel rests. The heads are also made
of paper, slightly thicker than that in
the walls of the barrel. They are held
in place by three bolts passing through
the barrel from end to end. Nuts on
each end hold them in place and per-
mit of the heads being easily removed
or placed in short order.—Toledo Com-
