RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
THEIR LAND AND SEA FORCES.
The large shipbuilding programme for the increase of the Czar's navy, including a Budget of some £9,pogoco estimated for 1898, proposes, says The Naval and Military Record, a gross of axpenditure for the period ending in 1904 not less than £50,000,000, and when it is under stood that this enormous aum is for new con struction exclusively, it may well appear that the ambition of the Russian Empire has a definite and strenuous objective.
The building of eight battleships forms the leading feature in the programine, and they are already in hand, ordered or projected. The protected first-class cruisers, which will be of some 6,500 tons displacement each, are, all in hand, and one of the number, the Faring, being pushed to completion in Philadelphia,
Up to the present time the Russian Govern meni has been badly handicapped in the race for naval supremacy by the almost total lack of construction-facilities in both ships and machinery. This however, is being rapidly improved, and in the programme here outlined the intention is to enter into competition with the shipbuilders of the world, in the rehabilitation of the naval strength of the empire.
Notwillstanding the inengre showing made by the material branch of the Russian Navy the personnel has been brought well abreast of the ultimate requirements of the nation, and so far as can be determined by the oftan misleading data permitted for publication, the following table shows the effective strength of the Tami's Navy,

Total officers...1,239 Of the rank and file there are 290mechanicians and an enlisted force of 41,915. This number, however, represents only the peace footing, for in time of war a practically unlimited number of recruits can be transferred from the army to the naval service, on the theory held by that Government that any man can be a sailor, but driff alone can make the solder,
The Russian fleet consists of 240 vessel of all classes, aggregating 294,100 tons displacement, and mounting 1,545 guns of all calibres.
Nothing in history has been more remarkable than the sudden rise of Japan to the rank of one of the leading naral Powers. The building pro granine outlined during the year 1898 has been vigorously carried out, and the new member of the family of nations is pressing to the front with great strides in her naval preparations for supremacy in the East. The building, pro- gramme will be best understood by reference to the table given below, which is compiled
from the latest official sources.
A notable fact in this connection is that the
navy of Japan is and will be composed of the latest types under the various classifications, and the newest ships of this progressive nation combine every improvement yet devised in every department. In motive power speed, offensive-and-defensive power, guns, every detail is of the latest type and assembled by
the best builders in the world.
The following is the personnel compiled
from the latest data :-

The enlisted personnel aggregates about 15,000. This is strictly on a peace basis.
Japan's navy comprises seventy ships of al classes, with a total displacement of 106,665 tons, and the ships carry $45 guns,
Between the land forces of Russia and Japan, greater apparent disproportion, exists be- tween the two navies. This disproportion, however, is more apparent than real, and for
various reasons the most important factor arises from the geographical positions of the two nations. Japan is, so to speak on the ground, while the forces of Russia, whether for land or sea service, ure forced to travel practically half the circumference of the earth” before arrival at the point of influence. Russia has in her army $2,100 officers and 2,738,000 men, com pared with Japan's 29,113 officers and 373.720
men.
TRAINING FOR SINGERS.
An authority on singing writes "The pupil should commence study with good, hard, solid work. It is only by hard work and persever. ance that success can be obtained. Apart from the voice the student should be possessed of brains.. A master cannot always tell or show everything. After a course of study with a mas ter the most arduous period arrives. The pupil must then sing and study alone and keep at it. I work just as hard now as when I was commence Ing. A great thing is to cultivate a personality, Anything eccentric should be avoided. Never feel satisfied with yourself; always think you can do better. Some teachers claim to produce „voices for pupils, not-posadased of them. This
ja absurd and impossible.
"Another thing in which I have no faith in is wrapping up, at every slight change of weather, though every care should be exercised in clothing the body. During the weather such as you have here in summer I wear low dresses. so that my neck is bared and quite, free. This hardans the throat considerally. If a muffler be wom around the neck it causes perspiration and the slightest wind or draft results in a cold. Plenty of athletic exercise should be indulged in, especially walking, which strengthens the lungs. In mode of life all excesses should be avoided. The artist cannot hope for any great success unless he or shte lives, a most regular life. As an example of what regular living will do I instance Mme Adelina Patti and the number of years she has preserved her voice. S
Finally, to the novice 1 say, art is a stem
