England's naval experts stale that England to-day i.>ossess?s not only the biggest and most powerful warships, but that she has aOoat the bicgest and fastest fleet of destroyers in the world. They poiJXt out that wtien the King rtcenlly reviewed the home and reserve fleets, off Spithead, it was proved that of the 182 sbip.'S reviewed. 166 were eble to leave immediately for the ma- Tireuvros in an extraordinarily high percentage of preparedness. England under present Administration has slinhlly reduced her naval e.xpcndi- tures. The total naval estimates for the year l!K)7-08 aggregated £31,419.500 ($158,000,000), as against jE3t,869.500 (8170,000,000) for the preceding year. Th;s economy, thougli large, is unim- portant considering the present great predominance of the cBritish navy over alt others. England intends to main- lain this predcminaivce by building four Dreadnoughts aimually, and it is the Intention of England to continue their construclioji until sho possesses in ves- sels dating from the Dreadnought era •alone as tTcat a relative superiority ever all other nations as she possesses to-day. The deslrcytT Tartar was built by John Thornycpoft. She is a turbine, and her highest speed was attained iri one of the six runs over the measureit Admiralty course. The turbines are of the Parsons type. The dimensions of the Tartar are as follows: The length on water-line, 270 teet; width on walcr-Iine, 20 foot: depth, 17 feel 2 inches; displacement, 850 Ions.' The shape which has been adopted for the vessel is that usually chosen by the Thornycrofls. which includes the graceful turtle deck, in place of the i-alsed forecastle. The turtle deck throw* the water neatly overboard in- Blond of under the upper deck. Her armament consists of three 12-pr. quick firing guns and two torpedo tubes. The evolution of Englnnd'.s champion- chip in the matter of tho swiftest de^ Blroyer I'cs in th; story 'il a long strug- gle against the rwistance of sea ajid winds extending over years. Thirty knots an hour was (he speed aimed at. and in 1893 the Daring al- most rcafhcd that point, making a trifle over 29. In 1S96 this was cxeee.l- e.' by the destroyer Desperate, which attaincl the coveted speed of 30 knots «Ji hour. Then the Japanese upset England's calculations with the de--lroyer I'siifrl- mo, whch made 31 knots. England at once raised Uie limit, and wilh Uie Al- btilposs she again pained the re/'oril. this last named, destroyer reaching spt'od of n little over 32 knots. Rut England was not yet contented, and piiooeedcJ lo build the Tartar. wh4ch first i-cachcd a S-l-knot limit, Uicn Iricmsed this to 35. and finally aston- ishe<I tho naval world hy reclijig off the Bi.'ecdy run of 37.037 kn-ats.

A German physician has used the X- rays with success in tha treatment of perspiring hands, a condition which is a source of great annoyance lo some rersons. .According lo the .Medical Record the fact that .the hands of Hocntgen ray workers become very dry led him to in- vestigate the effect of the rays in cases of this sort. While it has not been found feasible to make use of the Roent- gen rays as a means of destroying su- I^crfluous hair owing to the fact that in order to secuw permanent atrophy of the hair follicles too great »llera!Lon of the skin as a whole mu.st be caused, it appears that the functional activity tf the sweat glands may tie abrogated without undue risk. Tho rays must be applied In consid- erable intensity, however, and in order U' do this safely it is necessary lo have a.-i exact means of quantitilative control. WEAK, PALE AND WORN OUT WOMEN Can be Saved From a Life of Misery by Dr, WiUiams' Pink Pills. Women are called the "weaker sex,' and yet nature calls upon Ihein to bear far more puin than men. With loo many women it is one long martyrdom from the time they are budding into womanhood, until age begins to set its mark upon them. They are no soon- er over one period of pain and distress Uian another looms up only a few days ahead of them. No wonder so many women become worn out and old look- ing before their lime.

Mrs. Webber says: â€" ".Vboul three years ago, while living In Hamilton, my health began t<' decline. The first symptoms were headaches and general weakness. After a lime the Ircuble increased so rapidly that I was unable lo attend to my hou.sfhold duties. 1 lost flesh, looked bloodless and had trciiiienl fainting fits. I was constantly doctoring, but without any benefit, and I t>egan lo feel lliat my condition was hopeless. One L'ay a friend asked me why I did nol liy Dr. Williams Pink Pills and men- tioned several ca.ses in which she knew of the great Ireneflt that had followed their use. After some urging I deoided lo try the pills, and had only used them a few weeks when 1 began to feel bene- fitted, and from that time on the im- provement was steady, and by the time I had u.sed atout a dozen boxes of the pills I was again enjoying the blessing of good liealth. I cannot too strongly urge other discouraged sufferers lo give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial."
