American Idea of . Battle Ship.
The first and chief characteristic of a
battle ship should be its ability TO de-
stroy its adversary, and this depends on
the strength of its armament. The
second should be its ability to prevent
being destroyed, and this depends
on the strength of the armor with
which its hull and battery are pro-
tected- The third feature should be its
speed, and the fourth its coal endur-
nee These last are necessarily subor-
dinate features Acting near the base
of supplies, it would be useless 10 load
the bunkers Of our ships with 900 tons
of coal, the usual allowance to English
battle ships of a similar size.
We think it better to take 500 tons
from coal and put it into armor and
armament. a further saving Of weight
lies in our moderate freeboard. Steer
ing a middle course between the low
hulls of the original monitors and the
towering proportions which have been
attained by an extravagant reaction
from that system, resembling the great
four-story structures of three centuries
ago, we have placed our 13-inch guns
eighteen feet above the water line, to
enable our ships TO fight bows on in al
most any sea, while above them are the
Sinch guns, twenty-five feet from the
water, which could be fought In a huri-
cane.
Economizing weights In these two Dc
spects has enabled our constructors to
give TO our battle ships a battery more
powerful and more efficient than that
of any ship yet designed or afioat That
We have succeeded in this respect is
not denied by any of our critics, while
at the same time we have thickness
and strength of arnor, giving the ships
defensive power substantially as great
as that of the royal sovereign class

The safe,s Wort Enenr.


Some months ago correspondence
was carried on by experts as to whether
it was possible TO open a safe by the
aid of a blowpipe, using compressed
OXYGEN A man calling himself ''Mr.
Grant" of Antwerp, registered at a no
tel in Hanover, the lower floor of which
was occupied by the Bank Of Saxony.
He was accommodated with a room over
head One fine morning "Mr. Grant"
disappeared, and it was discovered that
he had penetrated into the bank Offices
by breaking up the floor and descend
ing by a rope ladder.
After having attached an India rub
Der tube to one Of the gas Jets he blew
a current of oxygen with it from a re-
tort brought with him, using the blow
pipe, and succeeded In melting an
opening through the door of that great
steel safe used by the bank for holding
smaller ones. He wa in the act of
operatiD" on the smaller inner safe
when he must have been disturbed, for
he decamped- The safe contained some
&25O,O 900 in gold and notes, besides Sc
curties. The heat caused by such a
flame will melt any metal; even the
hardest platinum cannot stand ii. It
is too evident that owners of safes
where valuables are stored need to be
cautious about their neighbors' tenants.

Among the practical questions con-
nected with the subject of contagious
diseases is one which relates to the
length of the period of special exposure.
The Boston Medical and Surgical Jour
nal says that the contagiousness OF
measles. mumps and whOoping cough
disappears with the patients recovery;
that there is probably no danger of his
conveying the disease TO Others for
about a week after he himself was ex.
posed to it-that is to say, during the
so called period Of incubation; and
that the c-ontagiousness of measles does
not extend beyond a fortnight
