Hon. Mr. Hanna has ideas of hip own to put into force at(an earlp~date. For instance, the purchmsing of supplies for consumption and use in the insti- tutions of the province has been chief- ly conducted in the cities where they are located. While the prices: were in nearly all cases low, on a close mar- gin, thoy were welcome factors of the tratle of those places. Though the late provincial secretary, one of the most capable departmental heads Canada has ever posséssed, kept his hand "on | the lid" so that charges were regular: ly controlled, the new administration declares there will be much practical economy in making purchases in bulk in Toronto, by a special officer. This remains to be demonstrated, however, as well as the difficult accomplish- ment of keeping distant larders and stores adequately supplied. It has two 1 very practical recommendations, lower 'prices in buying in great quantities, apt a better choice in a general whole: sale market. On the other hand a large central stores department will he required, and if the cost of govern: ment departments at headquarters in Toronto and Ottawa be any criterion the saving on purchase may freely leak out in expense account.

New York Globe. The Victory, the last battleships, now mouth harbor, at of 140 years, was recently taken Ly | Sir Philip Watts, director of naval construction in England, as the start ing point of an interesting address on the last 100 years' progress in war- | ship design. This 100-gun vessel, built in 1765, was forty vears old at the last great | sea fight of Great Britain at Trafal- gar. The length of her gun decks is | 186 feet, her extreme breadth 51 feet | 10 inches, and her "burthen in toms 2,162 2294." The thickness of the oak sides of these wooden battleships above the water line in the days of Trafalgar was about two feet. The | Con- of Nelson's floating in Ports the venerable age wooden trucks, then in use, had a | range of 2,500 yards at eight degrees' | elevation (the 24 and 32 pounders). | The 24-pounder was able to penetrate | nearly five feet of solid oak and the |} half this amount. | 18-pounder about | There were heavier s, but owing to the primitive appliance. then in use they were difficult to handle. The naval fighting machines which | 130 years of evolution has produced is a very different sort of vessel and it 30 much more powerful that a single ono of the late British battle: | ships could, it is said, have engaged | the whole of the British fleet at Tra- | felgar and the allied fleet thrown in. | The modern 124nch wire-wound gun | will penetrate forty-two inches of | wrought iron and even at 3,000 | yards will force uncapped projectiles | through over twelve inches of Krupp | steel armor. The twelve-inch guns re- | cently manufactured by the Arm- ! strongs amd Vickers coxpanies in | England are said to be capable of | penetrating fifty-one inches of wrought | iron and will fire two rounds per | minute, ! According to Sir Philip Watts, the | present relation between guns and | armor is about what it was in the days of the cast iron smoothbores and the oak sides, so that while there have been great advances the relative positions of offence and defence in naval warfare are but little changed. | Oso Station Items. eal? rs. | tears to shed over the new policy of Ie be Dew wa erntralisatiop.
