England's Newest Fighting Ship,
the Warspite.

A naval officer who returned from
duty in the European squadron few
days ago visited the naval establishment
of England before starting for home.
He ssaid yesterday: cat no time has
there been 80 much activity at the Chat
ham dockyard at this season of the year
as now. The British Admiralty are for
some reason, perhaps because of the
present Irish troubles, pushing forward
the armored vessels which are building,
and will have them completed at an
early date. The mechanics are en-
ployed on extra time. The greatest
amount Of attention is being given to the
powerful twin screw, steel.armored
steamer Warspite, which is altogether
an exceptional type OF vessel. 1t IS In
tended that she shall be the fastest ar
mored vessel afloat, and, while she is to
be employed on cruising duty, her of
fensive and defensive equipment will be
equal to that of any vessel she will
probably ever meet. She is over 300
feet long, with a displacement of I, 800
tons. Her armor plating will be steel
faced, ten inches thick and carried five
feet below the water line. Her armor is
ld1u OA d tCA-AACA OdChluk, Will
usual iron skin plating, thus presenting a
solid thickness of nearly two feet of
steel, iron and timber against the COM
pact of shot and shell.
"Above the fighting deck will be a
tower, protected by steel armor, while
her weather deck will be protected by a
steel-faced armor. The armament will
be unusually heavy, consisting of four
1S.tOn breech. loading rifles. besides, tha
usual machine guns and torpedoes. The
rifles will be capable OF piercing sixteen
inches of iron armor, or thirteen inches
of steel armor at distance Of 100 yards.
She will also have a number of eix-inch
breech-loading rifles for effective work
at range of five miles. Her cost, when
completed, will be about So. 750, 900, her
hull and machinery alone costing about
$2,500, 900. This, together with the 9TH
er armored vessels will be. completed
during the present year."-N. Y. Sun.

Great COnVerserS.

The practice of expressing ones ideas
before the public is 30 near of kin to
conversation that it might readily be
supposed the two talents would goto-
gether. Generally they have done so.
Sheridan was most brilliant and fasci-
mating speaker, and his conversation was
of the same kind. It was said of him
that he used to lie abed of morning
and think up puns, repartees and smart
things generally for the day, carefully
retaining them in mind and then lead
ing up the conversation to a point at
which ne or more good things could be
let off, like fire-crackers. But Sheridan
was notable man in every respect,
One night, while the House of Commons
was crowded to sufocation to hear him
speak on an announced topic, one Lon
don theater was giving the 'School fer
Scandal" another 'The Critic" and a
third "The Rivals" and no other author
ever enjoyed SO much popularity in his
own day as he; Burke was at: great in the
drawing,room as on the opposition bench.
He was Johnson's leading opponent in
whatever topic might come up, and was
almost sure to take the other side just
for the sake of the argument. He could
hardly be SAID to converse, however; he
rather harangued, and was fond of 60
ing into the depths of the subject, and
when it is remembered that he knew
nearly everything, and insisted on tell
ing all he knew, the terrors of starting
him on down-grade with the throttle
valve wide open, are easily seen
and appreciated. The elder Pitt talked
as we'll as he spoke, but his son was not
SO gifted, and used to say he had no time
to epend in idle words. He did not seem
to share the opinion of Napoleon, that
conversation was the best means of get
ting at the truth. The little corporal was
no great talker himself, but whenever
he wanted to study out any subject, he
always assembled a number of men who
understood it and in one way or an
other got them to wrangle over it, when
the truth was bound TO come out.
Whenever Napoleon did talk he said
something worth remembering. Fox
spent more time in talk than in any
thing else, and talked for tue love Of it.
But takers have not always been ora
tors. Though orators have generally been
takers. Macauley was no orator,
though talker of the purest
water. Sidney Smith called him q ''boo
in breeches," and was not far wrong,
since Macauley's gift in conversation
somewhat resembled those of Blu rke.-
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

What Startled Some Miners.

Down in Flowery District, recently.
some miners, who were prospecting two
miles north of the Lady Bryan mine,
had quite an astonishing experience.
They were drilling hole into quartz
vein on the side of mountain. prepare
tory to putting in a blast. One of the
mea were holding and turning the drill,
while the other was striking. Suddenly
a blow IF the hammer sent the drill out
of sight. Instantly a stream of water
spouted up to the hight OF forty or fifty
feet. The water came out the full size
of the drill hole, and was spouted for
over ali hour, and it gradually failed and
ceased tn flow. The men finally put in
blast, and, blowing off the top Of the
quartz vein, discovered some four feet

they were able to probe it.-Virginia

Frogs as a Table Delicacy
From the Boston Post.

1lOW tuo OOetOu 1OSt.
Within the past few years the demand
for frogs as an article of food has steadi-
ly increased and many people to-day
rate frog legs very highly as table deli
cacy. Many of these persons q few
years ago would have hesitated some
time before accepting the delicious ba-
trachians in their bill Of fare. Within
the past winter this demand has been
with difficulty met, and from all appear
ances the coming season will be very
prosperous and profitable one for the

The food may be defective in quality.
There may be excess or deficiency OF

may be introduced in an indigestible

mastication of food is a very common
