Hail Harris entered yesterday upon the performance of his duties as Postmaster of Baltimore under favorable auspices. Mr. Harris' personal record and high standing In the community, as well from the prism. The sea-level canal throughout 20 miles of its length would be 90 feet lower than the lock canal. The removal of a prism 20 miles long and 90 feet thick under water would consume an Inordinate length of time.
It would be cheaper, therefore, It is contended, to make a sea-level canal at the outset. The difference between working In a wet ditch and a dry one is so great that Mr. Crichfleld thinks It "nonsensical" to propose It. RELIGIOUS REVIVAL IN WALES. In Wales at present there is in progress a religious "revival" of such a phenomenal character that even politics and politicians have to give way to it.
Recently at Pwllheli a political meeting announced by Mr. Lloyd-George conflicted with a religious meeting, with the result that the stump-epeaker found it politic to abandon his meeting and to attend the revival. Multitudes are being baptized despite the thick ice on the streams. Educational discipline is also broken up. At Bangor University only a third or a fourth of the students attend their classes.
Beginning with a spontaneous outburst of religious sentiment at a college smoke room, the movement has spread rapidly among the male students of terian Church. Relatives and friends invited to Interment January 30. 1905. EMMA in her 59th year, wife of the late William H. CollingB.

1905. TWELVE PAGES. THE COST OF Bl'ILDIXG BATTLESHIPS. In an address in London recently Lord Brassey, who is considered an authority on naval matters, made statements which seemed to indicate that the cost of building a warship in England is as great as it is in the United States. The accuracy of bis Lordship's assertion has been challenged by other experts.
An authority on warship construction, writing in the London Telegraph, maintains that British shipbuilding is still cheaper than that of any other country In the world and that battleships, cost less in England than in the United States. Five American battleships of 16,000 tons, some in commission and others in process of building, cost about each. The cost of English battleships of the Commonwealth type, 16,350 tons, was about $7,000,000 each. That is to say, the sum which in the United States will pay for the construction and equipment' of nine battleships would pay for the building and equipment of ten battleships in Great Britain. The outlay per ton on American ships Is on English ships $420 an advantage of $55 a ton for the British Xavy.
There are other differences, according to the English expert, which must be considered in any comparison between the cost "of American and British battleships of the latest British ships have engines which were built to develop greater speed than American battleships. Thus, our ships of the Connecticut class have an indicated horsepower of 16,500 and a trial speed anticipated of 18 knots. The English battleships of the Commonwealth type have an indicated horsepower of 18.000 and a trial speed attained of 19.2 knots with full load and under fighting conditions. The English expert estimates that "in the United States warships of the same class, speed" and gun power cost about 40 per cent, more than they do in Great Britain, because the work is done almost entirely by contractors instead of largely in Government yards, as in Great Britain." This is apparently an exaggeration, because the expert has shown by his own figures that the difference in cost rer ton in the cost of battleship construction does not exceed 13 per cent. Still, 13 per cent.
Is a material difference. It does not appear that the United States should pay $800,000 more for a ship of 18 knots speed than Great Britain pays for a ship of 19.2 knots. Even with our costly system of naval construction, however, our warships are built at a less expenditure than is required for French vessels of the same class. The cost per ton for French battleships is $4S5, as compared with $475 for American battleships. German battleships cost $443 per ton.
The estimated cost of an Italian battleship of 12,425 tons is $5,000,000. Russian warships that is, such as are built in Russian shipyards require a greater outlay than the ships of any other navy. This Is due in part. It Is alleged, to the loose methods of handling therfunds set apart for naval construction. American warships are proving to be costlier luxuries every year.
But the situa tion Is hardly as bad as it Is represented to be by the English expert quoted in the London Telegraph who asserts: "If the Admiralty followed Lord Brassey's advice and attempted to adjust the coBt of war-hip building In Great Britain to the Amer-inmn enndnrri thev would this year have had to add $22,500,000 to the shipbuilding TOt." COST OP THE WAR. 4-V a Toft est. i etersDurg cojicuuucui. mo Echo de Paris has it from a responsible Russian "financial official" that up to November 23 the war had cost Kussla The grants made for the continuance of the war from November 23 up to February 14 were $126,000,000. The total Is $384,000,000.
This is current expenditure In a period during most of which the larje forces sent to General Kuropatkin had not yet begn mobilized. It does not include the lossof capital invested before the wax In the large fleet destroyed or captured at Port Arthur, Invested in that fortress and Its armament and invested in Dalny. If these items be added the waste of the first year of the war can hardly fall under a half billion. It will be noted that the current expenditure in the first year, as stated by the "financial official," was at the rate of about $1,000,000 a day. Now that General Kuropatkin has an army, reputed to number 500,000 to maintain at Mukden, and Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet is being maintained at vast expense in the Indian Ocean, the expenditures during the remaining days of the war are likely to exceed largely the rate of the period of preparation.
The cost of the Baltic fleet's venture is suggested by the fact mentioned in the last report of the Cardiff coal export trade, that as much as $30 a ton was paid for much of the Welsh coal sent to Vladivostok, and similar rates were paid on the coal run into Port Arthur. The shippers of coal to these places, in view of such prices, could well afford to have the Japs capture a ship now and then. The Baltic fleet's coal hardly costs so much as $30 a ton at present. It probably pays not over $15 or $20. But these are stiff prices and make "the nervous fleet" a very expensive toy.
Japan is also importing fnuch Welsh coal for special purposes, but she has mines of her own that partially meet her demands. No doubt she is at great expense for her fleet, for guns and ammunition and for the maintenance of her great army of half a million -men. But her troops are near home and cost less to transport and feed than do Russia's. It may be doubted whether her war expenditure has averaged so much as $1,000,000 a day so far. The rate of cost.
now that Port Arthur is taken, will, perhaps, be less hereafter than in "the past. Both powers seem to be amply provided with funds with which to prolong the war for a year or more. KITCHEXER AT WORK. Lord Kitchener is very busy in -India clearing away dead wood in the military establishment of that Empire, reorganizing the army on a fitrhtins basis, hounf-incr wm tne ranks natives of un-warlike character, redistributing commands and' shaking up things generally. The relations with Afghanistan are also being overhauled by the political department with a view to making the Ameer understand that he can't expect to continue receiving an annual gift of nearly a million pounds unless he takes his duty of co-operation with India more seriously.

.1 AM Ail GOflAI If CO. on St. as the recent traditions -of the oSlce, give reason for pleasant anticipations of a nonpartisan and business-like management. If the events of the first day possess significance they suggest that civil-service reform principles will dominate the conduct of the Postoffice of Baltimore, and that it will continue to be a source of satisfaction and great pride to the business men and citizens generally of both parties. There is every reason from the high private character of the new Postmaster and his freedom from entangling political alliances to expect excellent official results, and to these the public will look forward with sympathetic and kindly appreciation.
EXTENT OF" THE UNIVERSE. In an article in Harper's Magazine by Prof, 'liimon Newcomb on "The Extent of the Universe" an effort is made to ascertain in the light of astronomical studies whether the universe is a bounded whole or on the Contrary extends indefinitely in every direction. The problem is difficulr, but enough is known to base a tentative opinion upon. To appreciate it the reader is advised to lie on his back on a bench some clear moonless night and contemplate the vault of heaven. He will see the stupendous arch of the Milky "Way near the zenith, with thousands of stars on either side.
At first sight the points of light will appear to be scattered at Irregular inter vals, as if by chance, but closer observa tlon shows orderly arrangement and sym metry. There is unity of the whole structure. The Milky Way is seen to be a ring which girdles the whole of creation and seems to be the foundation upon which the whole stellar universe is built. It has poles, each 90 from the central line of the milky arch The stars are fewest near these poles and thicken toward the great girdle itself. The minute stars, individually beyond the limit of visibility to the naked eye.
which form its cloudlilie agglomerations, are mostly bluer in color than the general average of the stars of the rest of the universe. Whether few or many, if the stars in any particular region are compared with those in the opposite, or antipodal, region, they are found to be correspondingly few or many. Resem blances are accordingly seen in opposite re gions of the sky, no matter where we choose to look. Whatever be the cause that determined the distribution of stars in space, it seems to have been the same In every two antipodal regions. Unity is seen also in the chemical elements of which the stars are composed.
The sun is of the same sub stances as the and its elements are found in the most distant stars. Occasion ally stars are found which contain some few elements unknown to us, but such stars are In every direction and enforce the lesson of unity of structure. The among the rest, contain unfamiliar elements, but they are alike in composition in every quarter of the field under consideration. As respects their proper motions also the stars manifest a certain unity. Their speeds vary from little up to over 100 miles per second, but the speeds are similar in opposite parts of the universe.
The "Orion stars' scat tered along the whole course of the Milky Way have slower motions than the rest. Such correspondences suggest unity and organization as if the whole stellar universe were originally formed under the Impulse of one force which determined the places and motions of its several parts. As respects distances, the stars seem to be scattered equally In those regions not embraced In the Milky Way. Their distances from each other and from us are less obvious. The parallax of about 100 star3 has been more or less certainly obtained, and from It we may estimate the distance of certain stars from the earth.
Alpha Centaur! Is found to be nearest to us, but so remote is Alpha Centaurl that its light takes seven years to reach us, while that of our sun reaches us In eight and one-third minutes. This nearest star is 400,000 times the distance of the sun from us. Within a distance twice as great we find eight more stars. All the stars are supposed to be con tained within a region whose boundary is 200,000,000 times the distance of the sun from us, the light of the most remote requiring about 3,300 years to reach us. Their number is supposed to exceed 125,000,000, but this estimate is little more than a mere guess.
It Is possible that the outer bounds are twice as far as has been estimated, and that light from the outer limit would require over 6,000 years to reach us. The stars of the Milky Way, Professor Newcomb thinks, are between 100,000,000 and 000,000 times the distance of the sun from us. At distances less than this the stars are distributed through space, It is thought, with some approach to uniformity. How many stars are beyond the limit here stated? A definite answer can be given if it is assumed that the ether extends Indefinitely through space, so that want of it makes no obstacle to the passage of light. If the stars extended indefinitely, then, it is argued, those of each order of magnitude should be four times that of the magnitude next brighter.
For example, we should have nearly four times as many stars of the sixth magnitude, as of the fifth. But this is not true of the fainter stars. They do not Increase at such rate In proportion to the brighter and, by Inference, the nearer stars. Then, again, if the stars were in finite and equally scattered In space the whole heavens should be a blaze of light, since no ray is lost. It cannot be assumed that the dead, or invisible, stars are numerous enough to shut out our view of the remoter stars.
They do not thus obstruct our view of the Milky Way, which Is believed to embrace the more distant stars of the universe. It is conceded, however, that over one-half of existing stars are too faint to be seen by the most powerful telescope, their invisibility being due to their distance and the faintness of their proper light. The general conclusion remains: "The universe, so far as we can see it, Is a bounded whole. It is surrounded by an immense girdle of stars, which, to our vision, appears as the Milky Way. While we cannot set exact limits to its distance, we may yet confidently say that it is bounded.
It has uniformities running through Its vast extent. Could we fly out to distances equal to that of the Milky Way, we should find comparatively few stars beyond the limits of that girdle." LOCK VS. SEA-LEVEL CANAL. Mr. Bunau-Varilla proposes to build a Panama canal with locks, dam spillways, and then after a time convert such canal into a sea-level canal by digging it deeper.
This plan is criticised by engineers as unduly expensive, since it contemplates disusing locks, dams, that have cost from $40,000,000 to $60,000,000. Working under water for increased depth is much more expensive than working in the dry costs four or five times as Mr. G. W. Crlchfield, a contractor, holds it "impracticable" to dredge out the canal in the way proposed.
"Rock underlies a large portion of the Culebra cut," he says, "and to excavate rock under 36 or 40 feet of water costs $4 or $5 a cubic yard three or four times what it costs in an open ditch free from water. Therefore, to cut down Culebra by Bunau-Varilla's method would cost hundreds of millions of dollars more than it would to do the work as an original proposition. The Culebra cut would need to be widened if a lock canal were converted into a sea-level canal. To do this while the canal was full of water would be hopelessly cosily. The presence of water would impede the removal gf rock and dirt taken No.
