Hawk mare colt; she was large, weigh

MIR. BATTELL,
Dear Sir Yours of the I'd is at hand
and contents noted. In reply | would
say, do not know of any grandson of
the old Bush Messenger about here. 1t
is sixty years since the old horse died
and there was so much prejudice against
them that they did not save any of the
stations. They found that they were
a long-liyed stock, for some of them were
over 80 years old when they died.
There are some mares that have some
of the blood in their veins, for you can
tell them by their clean limbs; never
stock up when standing in stable.
Yours truly,
MOSES EGGLESTON.

NEW YORK, April 2l-Tne fact that it has
been found necessary to shift the position of
'ha Chicago's quarter boats so as to preserve
ihem from eng blown Ia pieces by the con-
cussion that follows the discharge the new
high-power steel r.hes brings to light the
point that the introduction of these guns has
been attended by rumber of problems in
naval archi;e ture and gunaery which have
not all been satisfactorily settled yet
The Chicagu hoat problem is just this The
after boats of that cruiser were swung on
davis, which, us usual on ships of her gen.
eiai model, were swung outh beard With
the oi'i-fashioned Parrott guns this could be
dou1 with perfect safety to the boats.
But in the old Parrott guns the charge of
powder WIS only about one tsnth the weight
OF the missile while in the new high-power
rifles the charge is sometimes sx-tenths
That is. for shell in "A Parrott gun of 100
pounds weight only ten pouads of powder
would he used, while in one of the Caicago's
guns the same shell would have sixty pounds
of powder behind it,
Tie result l. that the concussinn from the
discharge of one of the new guns is some
thing terrib!e--so great, in fart that when
one ot the slx-inch guns on the gun-,lec!i of
the Cnicago is fired directly along line with
her keel the after boats on the side from

Some OF tho naval officers claim that it
would not have made much difference, for
the Chicago might have lived her life with
odt the necessity arising for tue dis
charge of her guns at this angle The
department took the view, however that a
man-of-war's boats are something like au Ok
lahoma mans pistols "She may not need
them often, but when she does need them she
needs them powerful bad" and the boats are
being swung in-board. The cruiser Boston
shows another curious phase of this question

big guns Her brOadsiie guns are in bomb
