Commodore Forestier despatched a mes- age of condolence to Admiral Fortin on behalf of the officers and men of the In- fernet, and at the grave he pronounced a short funeral oration in French. He said;- Gentlemen, it is with the profoundest sorrow that I'desire, in the name of all here, to say a last farewell to our lamented com- rade Fortin. He died in the flower of hie youth, far from his country and his people, and I believe I am voicing your feelings in transmitting an expression of our respect- ful sympathy across the seas to his bereav- od father, Admiral Fortin, whose great loss we share.

cle to prevent warships from making the fifteen thousand mile voyage from Crone. tadt to Port Arthur, even though the ordinary coaling stations are closed them. An illimitable quantity of fuel can be carried by transports, and there are islands on the route under the shelter of which bunkers can be replenished. The all important question of coal strategy, has, moreover, been considerably modified by important developments of the mechanical appliances used for coaling moving ships at Hea. Experiments conducted by the Unit- ed States Navy with the Lidgerwood. Miller Marine Cabloway wore to successful that the battleship Illinois has been equipped with an apparatus which will enable her to take coal from any masted vessel in any part of the globe.

In Great Britain tests with the Temperley-Miller Marine Cable- way were no less successful. The collier Muriel delivered coal to H.M.S. Trafalgar at the rate of thirty-five to forty tons an hour in a moderate sea and a half galo of wind, and whilst the battleship was A speed of eight to towing her at eloven knots. With small improvements in the methods it is anticipated that the rate of delivery can be raised to sixty tons an hour. The apparatus in both Navies is based on the same principle-an aerial ropeway along which the coal is hauled in bags-and it differs only in the means adopted to keep the cable taut. The important point in all these experimenta is that they were

conducted whilst the warships were maintaining a sea speed of about ten knots. Now ten knols is, roughly speaking, the most economical rate of steaming of most modern warships, and the speed at which they would travel on long voyage oxcept in great emergen cica. So that a fleet equipped with trans- porters and colliers would be capable of steaming for an indefinite period at its most economical oruising speed. replenish. ing its bunkers with no greater delay than is involved in picking up the colliers' tow roj es, and still arriving in the danger zone with bunkers us full as the day it start d.

It disappears into the illimitable Geoan, and avoiding the regular steamship tracks, may appear ten or fifteen thousand miles from its starting point without being reen or board of. To a limited extent this may be said to operate to the disadvantage of Great Britain, as it reduces the value of waling stations with which she is better pro- vided than any other naval f'ewer. To a cortain extent also it favours the war against commerce which certain Powers are known to contemplate in the event of A conflict with Great Britain, because it increases the radius of action of commerce destroyers and lessons their dependenco upon coaling bases which may be blockaded But these conditions cut or watched. both ways, and anything which tends to increase the radius of action and improve the mobility of warships must benefit the Power which is strongest on the sea and his the greatest mercantile roserve.-Times of India.

HOW MEN HAVE MISSED MAKING FORTUNES.

It is astounding how many men may 'overy- where be feand who are discontented-who feel iastinctively that they were born for better things who in some way, they scarce knoW how, have allowed life's golden opportunities to pass them by, failing to achieve what they believe might have beeu, nay should fave been, theirs. No one can point to any definite defect

in them, yet they have failed.

Why have they failed?

To the expert observer the cause is very obvious. Success is achieved only by energy,

and energy is what they lack.

Now, energy, whether of the hand or the head, is produced by food. A starved man can neither dig the ground, operly nor think out a matter clearly.

Has a man, berefore, in order to become

energetic, merely to be supplied with good food?

No: unfortunately the cuse is not so simple

It is just here where Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup comes in. It is the one thing that cares Ladies indigestion, and all the numerous maladies of which it is the parent, and in that way may be regarded as an unrivalled source to energy.

When in Tasmania four years ago 1 was attacked by a serious illness,' says Mr Bowden, of 21, Pring Street, Woolloomooloo, Sydney, I could, neither sleep, nor rest. N. Stor whom I consulted said I was sufforing

from dyspepsia, and gave me some medicine, which patched me up for awhile; but I was soon as bad an every again. Another doctor attended me for two months; but I received no Lenefit from his treatment, nor at the hospital where I afterwards went. My appetite almost ceased and the little I ate disagreed with me. I became dull and languid, and everything was a trouble to me. Accepting the advice of p friend to try Mother Belgel'e Syrup, those troubles soon disappeared. After a few dozen, I felt better than I had done for months past. By the time I had taken five bottles I was restored to health and energy...

Just so. That is precisely the effect that Mother Seigel's Curative Syrop produces, Not only does that medicine eradicato disease; it promotes health and energy, those absolutely indispensable qualities in all who are called apon to fight life's battic. It is a puroly natural tonic, compored of fruits, roots, and herbs, containing no mineral substance whatever. For thirty-five years it has occupled the first place among all medicines whatsoever; and evidence as to its curative power is constantly forthcom ing from the sixteen principal countries of the world

Indigestion and biliousness are whist some medical authorities ferm root diseases;' that is to say, if those complaints are neglected, they develop into others even more serions. More often than not, medicines supposed to be romedies are at first resorted to.. Sometimes these care persevered with for considerable periods, resulting in loss of time and needless suffering, besides rendering the subsequent curo by Mother Seigel's Syrup, more difficult. In these circumstances air Bowden is to be con gratulated on having his attention so early Lue, directed to Mother Seigel's Syrop, and upon happy result of his nas of it. ⠀

Many a man who is poor to day would be wealthy and he not been held down by ill- heath. But there is hight hope for all auch when once oy clearly understand why they are 1 how they may unloose their bonds.

I grew steadily better in my general health, my appetite and my spirits, as well as in the skin.
