France is very deficient in large unar-
nored cruisers Of recent type. Previous to
the laying down of the Tage and Cecile in
1885 the only important steel cruiser
built or under construction was the
Sfax. of $500 tons, laid down in 1888
and completed in 1887. In 1885 the Tage
was begun Her displacement of 1850
tons mncn exceeded hat of any unar-
mored cruiser then ahoat. She was the
pioneer Of the very large unarmored
cruiser, and the idea has been widely
copied. Her projection was due TO an
appreciation Of the fact that only very
large vessels can sustain high speed in a
seaway, and if continuous high speed is
required large size Is IA necessity.
Economists in all countries fought
strongly for smaller vessels, but the
facts bore too heavily against them.
When merchant vessels reached a length
Of $50 feet, 1900 ton displacement and
a sustained sea speed of over nineteen
knots in any ordinary weather, it was
useless to build commerce d~estroyers of
three or four thousand tons, no matter
what might be the speed of the latter in
smooth water.
The latest cruisers designed by the
French carry thin vertical armor for
protection against high explosive shells.

A chlnaman in an Art Gallery.

You can tell the new Chinaman in
New York by his headgear. He wears
a little black skull cap of silk, whereas
his fellow Chinaman of long residence
in the country invariably wears a low
crowned. black felt hat. with a medium
brim, which is manufactured somewhere
in Connecticut especially for the Chinese
American trade and sold at a dollar
apiece. 1t is curious to notice the be-
wildered air of the newly arrived China
man as he goes about the city under the
escort of two or three of his country
men. l saw II group of four Cinnamon
in an art gallery the other day. and i'm
mediately discerued that one was a new
conner. The other three were showing
him the sights.
The pictures in the gallery were all
imported, and / noticed that the new
Chinaman was constantly looking at the
figures in the pictures and her looking
around mt the people in the gallery,
seemingly trying to compare the details
of garments. OF course they were total
ly different, and his companions went
through n vast amount of talk to explain
to him that we do not make many pict-
ures in this country compared with
what we buy abroad. One of them with
