This Iti the first Instance on record where an American haa ntnde such elaborate preparations for English royalty. Lake Naval Station Since 1865 the general material d velopment of the country has been such as to transcend all ordinary human understanding. Vast new mining fields hare been opened, whole areas of coal deposits, many of them entirely unsuspected, have been found and developed since 1865. The enormously valuable deposits of copper In Montana have all been discovered and developed since 1865. Michigan's, though known before then, have also been mainly developed Inside of 40 years. So have the great Iron deposits of Michigan, the zinc deposits of Missouri and countless beds of mineral wealth of all sorts In the south and the almost boundless regions. Secretary Seward knew that there was almost fabulous treasure under the surface of what was called Russian America when he bought It from the czar's government, but the gold and sliver and other mineral wealth of Alaska has practically all been found and developed within the last ten years. In 40 years the addition from mineral sources alone to the wealth of the country has amounted to billions on the back of billions. Petroleum was discovered before 1865, and the development of territory which yielded it was begun 40 years ago, but by far the greater part of that development has been accomplished since then. Along with all these things the area of cultivated land has been Increased so that the wheat and corn and cotton and other crops of the present are enormously vaster than they were In 1865. Manufactures of all sorts have Increased enormously also, the total for 1865 being worth rather more than two billions of dollars; this territory.

On a high plateau extending along the west shore of Lake Michigan, 35 mlleg north of Chicago, 1,000 miles from the Atlantic and 2.000 from the Pacific, on a stretch of woodland and prairie that Is furrowed deep with a winding, picturesque ravine, there is rising toward completion a city of brick and stone and steel which is dedicated to Mars. There the United States government will prepare for war. Thla little city Is designed to he the largest and most efficient naval training station in the world. It will furnish Uncle Sam with "the men behind the guns." The location of this fighting school on fresh water so far from the seaboard Is the tribute of congress to the states of the middle west, whence were drawn 7,000 of the 15,000 trained and gallant men that are now aboard Rear Admiral Sperry's Atlantic battleship armada on a voyage girdling the globe. When It Is In operation the new naval school Is expected to to prove a perpetual Inspiration a of source and patriotism usefulness In helping similar and allied Institutions along the salt main to keep the navy recruited to Its full strength with men physically per-ec- t and Intellectually bright. Congress has already appropriated $250,000 with which to begin the Innovation. Naval officials, who are enthusiastic over the prospect of developing hardy mariners and crack shots out of touselled headed plowbnys and mayhap pale factory hands In the backwoods seat of learning, predict that millions more will he voted by the people's representatives to enlarge and maintain the school when once It begins to demonstrate Its worth.

Resides a mammoth boathouse and harbor there will be a drill halt 80 feet wide and 410 feet long, with vaulted ceiling 40 feet from the Poor The school will be capable of ra:-fnfor 2.500 men at the atart. " Admiral Iloss expects to have the station open next spring, with everything ready for the accommodation of 1,000 men.' Ry the fall of 1909 it will provide accommodations for 2.500 recruits. The training station was located at Lake Muff mainly through the government's discovery that a large proportion of (he naval enlistments of late years have come from the middle west. The men who are sent to the Raining station will remain there from four to six months. Each will tie kept In the receiving quarters ten days.
