THE MAN OF FORTY.
-As a Rule, He Still Thinks He Can Put Off Doing Things.
.\t the ajre of fori.v n nuin has reached a time <if life when It Is hardly one I bin;; or the olher. The jiiist yenrs hiive uot Ix'en .so mnny ,is to permit one to lay d<iwn bis ninis ,iml retreat In (juiet to the shade. It is ,iil| not too late to strive uud perhaps lo aehieve. On the other hiinil, so much diisty roud has been tnneled that if one linds It hiis not led him Inr ou lhe wa.\>he meant to t:o he can hardly delude'himself with the fani'y that he i:iii yet go liiiek uud begin the journey anew. The pleiisaut sense of superfluous lluie Is goue; one must hurry, and perliaiis It Is too late.
Then comes the -2.viet nf perceiving tb»' waste, the loss, tlie utter ful illty of |>ostponements.

PEARL HARBOft

When it wm* mevu that Manila was useless as a defein^ fur this <-ouDtry and wuukl be a hamlleap lustead of a help In ^ar I'earl harl>ur. uu uue uf tbe Hawaiian Islands, nine miles from Honolulu, was selected, and 113.0011.- 000 was appropriated by congress for its fortiUcatiou. It has a better har¬ bor than either <;ibraltar or Helgoland. \ concave swee(> of land makes the harbor. whi«-h is crowned by a long ridge of gigantic trees and rugged and tumbled roek that terminates In an tms.- tiuct volcano, known as Diamond Head. .\ frowulng mountain side bides a beautiful lake that Is reached from tbe sea by au inlet like the neck of a bottle. It covers eleven square miles, with a depth of alxiut sixty feet over nenrly nil of It. Tbe neck that leads to the sea is three miles long and hard¬ ly wider than necessary for vessels to l>asB. Farallel with the coast is a coral reef si mile wide. Through this a chan¬ nel a thoiLsand feet wide has been cut.
It has been equipped with one ofthe most complete naval stations In the world, a mile square In extent. It has a drydiH'k, which Is the largest In the world, a $-H)0,iHJ<t animunition plant and oil tanks for vessels. The fortlti- eatloiis. e.xtending for flfteen miles to Honolulu, consist of powerful batteries, with cement emplacements below the ground level. The ends are guarded by two forls, neither of which can l>e seen from lhe iK'enn, Ou the laud the guns iire defended by a series of earth¬ works thnt form a crescent from thi' harbor to Honolulu. In the extinct volcano Is ii mortar battery. The four mortars of this battery have an ex- *r(>iiie coast range of nine miles, throw¬ ing twelve Inch shells weighing 7<»0 pounds, 'i'lie seiicimst defenses have fourtccii inch itiins. and the forls are sv.; ll. niriiied with siiltmiuine mines. controlled by elei^trlcity.
