The total horsepower of the Hoche is
1900. and it is only twin-screw ship with
engines of only two cylinders each. IL can
do little more than eight, therefore. The
presence of the turrets makes it necessary
to widen the hull, and this, of course, dmin-
ishes the speed. 1t is expected that the
superstructure of the Hoehe, especially its
upper stories, will be shot away at the first
shot In an engagement. They contain rooms
for the officers. The armor at the water
line, however, is IS inches thick while the
plates for the turrets are 16 inches thick.
Beneath the low-water line the armor is
inches thick, thus affording almost complete
protection TO the engines and ammunition.
1t is question. however, if the crew would
not soon become demOrallZed when the
upper parts of the ship were shot away.

Thus we have the two types, each costing
about the same sum, one heavily armed and
the other lightly armed; one having 5000
tons more displacement, but 5000 less horse

THE MAKING
OF CANDY.
The Evolution From the Sugar
Barrel to the Dealers Shelf.
Many Processes to Convert the Product Of Cane
Into Caramels, BoDbons and Other
Varieties Of Swsetmsats.

@%ANDY is one of the sweetest things
ISSa which tempts the palate. In fact if it
~ were not sweet it would not be candy.
OF the hundreds of thousands of people who
daily consume an immense quantity of this
sweetness there are comparatively few who
know anything at all of the various pro.
cesSes which are necessary in order to
manufacture this article which has now
become almost a necessity. A Balti-
more Herald reporter recently visited a
large candy mandatory on Baltimore
street and one Of the proprietors kindly
showed him all over the place and explained
the details of the manufacture. The first
step in the making of candy is to boil the
sugar, which is contained in large watts.
This is, in fact, the most important
part of the operation, because it re-
quires considerable skill and practice
to know when the syrup has reached
the right stage for cream, for pulling,
for elbow" candy, caramels, ETC.. and to be
able to know the exact instant when it has
boiled to the "crack' for clear candies.
When the sugar was boiled ito the crack"
it has certain amount of brittleness, which
causes it to snap off readily.

1t is only recently that the San Francisco
made its successful trial trip. They are
very similar to the 7300-ton cruiser pictured
herewith, except that the latter has the i'm
provements incident to natural develop
ment.
This 7500-tOn cruiser, for which the plans
are now being perfected, represents the
latest ideas of naval architecture in the
United States. The Hoche, on the other
hand, represents the latest addition to the
French navy. although it was begun in 1880.
1t IS, as may be seen, a curious looking
craft, and represents the extreme of the
class of vessels built up above the water,
The great objection to the Hoche in these
days would be that it is a magnificent tar
get. In fact, it would seem to be difficult to
miss it. By dashing the iron TO pieces and
knocking its masts to pieces ii would soon
rattle the crew and thus cripple the YES
sell On closer look 1t will he seen that the
vessel is combination of the crude types
of both Monitor and Merrimac. The turrets
are at bow and stern, and there are the
sloping sides in the middle. 1t is really a
twO-stOTy craft and armed to the very gar
ret. Indeed, il is question if she Is not
over-armed to do effective service. She
looks as if she would toppe over in a big
swell and as if she would tear herself to
pieces if all her guns were fired at once.
On the other hand, the 7300-ton cruiser,
smaller, by the way, than the one Cramps
have the contract to build, has the appear
ance Of a race-horse. 1t Is intended to be a
flyer, and probably could easily fight the
Hoche. The shots from the Frenchman
would 90 through the upper portion only,
but her speed would be her great strength.
She does not present the low type of vessel,
but is compromise between the high and
low. She is TO 90 twenty-one knots an hour.
The Hoche goes seventeen. The cruiser
will be 400 feet long. Of 1900 tons displace-

ter of a ton fully four miles, beside two lUH2-
guns, eighteen 51s-inch guns, eight rapid
firing guns and numerous torpedo-guns.
In fact, tue Hoche represents the highest
stamp of immense armament The new
cruiser represents the idea of speed, for 1t
could run all around its heavier neighbor
and torment it as easily as small boy could
torment a fat but powerful man. The great
characteristic of the new cruiser is that 1t
will have three screws. One Will be al the
stern post and the others at the sides,
abreast of the stern-pOst, just as is the case
in twin-Screw steamers of the present day.
Indeed, twin-screw steamers are almost
novelty yet. as besides the half-dozen flyers
now running from New York to Europe, and
the navy vessels recently built, twin-screw
steamers are almost unknown. The three
screw system has not been tested yet on any
large STEAMER, but will soon be on French
cruiser. On small t0rpedo-boats it has been
great go, and Chief Engineer Melville is
sanguine as to the good results.
The engines of tile new cruiser will each

draught speed is to be twenty-One knots,
and maximum of twenty-five knots is eX-

one knot ship at the most and her average
is little over twenty knots per hour. Our
navy is intended to be especially effective as
commerce destroyerS, and hence powerful
armament is unnecessary.
In ordinary cruising this vessel would use
only one screw and go at the rate OF ten
knots an hour The two side screws would
be uDcoupled and allowed to move freely.

Boiling candy is not subject for guess
work, and the most skilled workmen are
employed to watch over and take charge of
the huge copper caldrons, which are heated
by steam to the required point. The sugar
is frequently subjected to a heat of 240 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and the workman is kept
constantly busy in testing the boiling mass
witha thermometer in order to know ex-
actly when it has reached the proper stage
for the use for which it was intended.
In making French cream candies the syrup
is boiled until it will ''balP'-that Is, until it
will roll up soft in the fingers. To accom-
plish this it is necessary to use one quart of
water to ten pounds of sugar. When it has
boiled sufficiently the syrup is poured out
upon a table in quantities of, say, forty
sheet of iron, under which is shallow
tank that contains running water, which
is supplied by pipes and carried off in
the same manner. The mass cools
rapidly on this table, and in about
ten or twelve minutes is ready for working
Two men, having large wooden "spatu-
las" and standing on opposite sides of the
table, then work it up. They turn and
"spat' and toss the cream, taking care to
keep it well in mass. In about five min
utes it is dough-like consistency and is
finished. 1t has thus become the cream
from which many delightful kinds of candy
are made. 1t is then packed in pals and
laid away in a cool spot until it is required
for use.

twisted wire with a loop and dexteroisly
places bonbon into the loop and dips it
into the warm cream, and when it is re-
moved it has the desired Fl ivOr on it.
In dipping chocolate the process is slightly

Such candies as buttercups, cough drops
and all the smaller candies are made of
syrup boiled ''to the crack" and are cut by
machine. 1t is first poured on to creased
marble table and allowed to cool little, but
while yet warm 1t is run through rollers in
order to obtain uniform thickness, and
then cut by machine. Sugar plulns, aud, in
fact, all sugared almonds, are coated with
sugar in huge revolving kettles, which are
called shakers" When the sugar adheres
to the nuts they are transferred to another
kettle, where little syrup is poured over
them. They then go to a third kettle, where
dipperful of syrup is added, and here they
remain for two days, being constantly
shaken by the revolving kettle.
The incest part of the work is. probably.

through which the candy has to pass from
the time that it enters the factory as sugar
until it is sent out for sale at retail, those
who work at it must be neat, clearly and

straight line around the world. In general
appearances the cruiser is not unlike many
of the newest transatlantic liners, and at
distance resembles a stout merchant
steamer. She will rot be finished until
about 1894. She will draw twenty-three
feet Of water and her horsepower will
reach the enormous figures Of 10000.
No one would ever mistake the Hoche for
a merchant vessel. Indeed, it has become
one of the best-knOwn ships in Europe.
Speaking of this vessel. the French paper,
La Nature, said recently: The name of
Hoche has often echoed in the discussions
of Parliament, of the technical press and of
maritime circles in recent times. The adj
versaries of the system of building by the
State nave been pleased TO cite it as strik-
ing example Of the slowneSs of the arsensls.

THE DAISY.
1t Is One of the Best of All Plants for
Window Culture.


Window Culture.
Whether generally known or not, the fact
remains that this dainty flower is one of the
best of all plants for window culture, pro-
ducing its pretty blossoms in great profusion
for months in succession. 1t is well adapted
to those rooms which have a temperature of
from 30 to Ga degrees, and will endure
heavy frost, although, of course, with dis
astrous results as 1t takes time to recover
from the effects of such rough usage. Many
people have chambers heated only by pipe
passing through them, which, while it modi-
hes the intense cold, does not render the
apartments warm enough for the average
house plant, SHch as the geranium,
etc. To such individuals, il fond of
house plants, the English daisy would
prove verltable treasure, since
very slight degree of heat enables it to pro-
duce its blossoms, which long remain perfect
in cool atmosphere. A box measuring
about six by thrly-five inches, and perhaps
four or five inchesin depth. containing daisy
plants, was kept winter before last in

A pot of daisies in which the earth froze
hard last winter, on being transferred to a
hot room put forth a quantity of flowers,
showing that while the daisy apparently
has " all seasons for its own it also SEEM
ingly has all temperatures. One excellent
quality which it possesses should not be
overlooked in giving a list Of its virtues to
the world, and this is its independence Of
the sunlight so necessary to most plants. 1t
will flower freely without ray of sunshine,
although, Of course, it cannot develop the
color Of the crimson lowered variety so
finely as when under the direct influence of

long and graceful stem render it one of the

will commend it TO those who wish to con-

treasures to those of their friends less for
