she could not have been better de-
signed. The Ann Arbor will soon be
followed by a second vessel, dupli-
cate throughout, and later BY four
more vessels of still greater efficiency.
The new vessel measures 267 feet
in length and has a beam of 81 feet.
Her draught is IL feet and displace-
ment 1850 tons. This displacement
is slightly in excess of that accorded
to the new Ammen harbor defense

States. The Ann Arbor is provided
with three screws, placed one on each
quarter, we'll forward of the stern, and
the third in the bow. The bow screw
sets vel; aft of tile stem, and occupies
position clear of the keel. The
lower edge of the propeller blades are
flush with the keel, making it inn
possible for the blades to touch
bottom before the keel. The thr q
screws are operated by three distinct
sets of engines.
These engines are of the horizontal

And loud above the shrieking gale
Was heard the dying moan and
cry
OF brave defenders of the land,
In wild despair arising to the sky,
As fast before Hawaii's triumphant
king they fly.
Below the precipice lie human bones,
OF warriors hurled from the giddy
height;
Bleaching and bare among the messy
stones
Since that long-dreaded and event
full night
When old kamehameha rose
Triumphant, king of all the land.
Vanquished and beaten all our
foes,
Unheeded every cry and groan;
How shall it fare US when we
stand
In Gods fierce light? Can We for
aught atone?
What answer can we make before the
great White Throne?

Where purple mists on soaring

With azure of the vaulted dome.

the interest OF the whole rather than in
that of a part. Loyal absolutely to the
Times, which to its accidental honor
it has entangled him, The Times is, at its
best, only the accidental projection. a
kind of chronic double of himself. His
letters are kind attentions which have the
air OF a continual favor. Though better
recompensed than favors sometimes are,
and though whatever their contents he
will be read by everybody, this is not
only because what the author writes is
important, but because he does not write
when he has nothing to say.
This reticence is superb and one of its
practical results has been the remarkable
physical vigor of this man who is after all
no longer young. One should see him in
his country home. NJ. de Blowitz went
up and down the north coast OF France
hunting Tor an eyry. He found it on the
wooded top of one of the side slopes OF the
thousand ana one ravines in which the
fishermen along that coast had fixed their
cabins, at the small hamlet of Les Petites
Dalles. Like Alphonse Karr at Etretat he
made the fame Of this spot. Your guide
book will tell you the fact: ssM. de
newspaper, the Times, has a villa here. -
/ defy you to find any other distinction
special to this place.
Towards 8 O'Clock in the afternoon.
indeed almost daily, NJ. de Blowitz has
an amiable habit. He walks down with
members of his family and the guests
who are staying with him, to the pretty
bathing cabins in front of which stretches
an improvised swing, and, picturesque
in his colored flannels, he sits himself
down with cigar to watch the bathers.
He, the most distinguished of European
critics, is here and now the object of
many curious and admiring observations.
He holds here little court on the Single
beach. Brightly dressed women gather
to him from every point of the compass {:
while he who has his emissaries in
every quarter of the world, and whose
subtle influence is felt at each episode of
the European movement, gives himself
up with pardonable indulgence-under
the ample umbrella-to the pretty trifies
of glib Women'S chatter. Before he has
enjoyed enough, and in obedience to one
of those harmless devices In which we'll
taught men of the world often indulge,
he retires from this charmed and, as can
affirm, charming circle, and climbs to the
great villa on the cliff. There are letters
to be written and kilograms to be sent to
Paris, and perhaps an article meditated
during the afternoon.
Large himself, he likes large air, large
rooms. large landscapes, large and
genial ideas. And what contributes to all
this more than rest, which gives time TO
think? 1t is a generous and natural tenn
per, and that is why the great doors from
the veranda are open to the channel

tigers and then couple of the finest lions
ever saw. Round about the base of the
pyramid were grouped In picturesque pre-
fusion lions, tigers, leopards and dogs.
There they stood perfectly still and utter
ing not a single sound, until, very sud-
denly Mr. Meilermann cracked his whip,
when the animals joyfully quilted their
strained position and retired to their
seats.
stAhi'' said Mr.. Hagenbeck, as he
turned to me, ''no living human being
can imagine what it means to get those
animals to do that. III never do 1t again
after the Chicago exhibition. Life is too
short for such a strain. / wouldn't take
any money for those animals now that
they are trained, although ! was offered
only the other day upwards of $50 600 Tor
them.'
And now came the piece de resistance of
the whole affair. A large Roman chariot
was rolled into the circus; two huge tigers
were led forth, and, growing mnch. they
were harnessed to 1t, and then there was
ushered into the chariot, with no little
state, noble and stately lion, a robe OF
royal crimson was fastened round his
neck, a cleaning crown was placed upon
his head, the reins were thrown over his
shoulders, two boar hounds took their po-
sition as footmeu in the rear of the char
lot, Mr.. Mellerman cracked his whip, and
the royal chariot drawn by the tigers
rolled solemnly round the circus.
After this very curious thing hap
pened. The entertainment was at an
end, the band quilted the building, and
the animals were allowed to play about
all jumbled together. They seemed per-
fectly happy, gam boiling with pure pleas
ure round Mr.. Mellermann and his assis-
tants, between whom and the animals the
strongest affection most evidently existed.
After they had played about for few
minutes, the order was given that they
should retire to their cells, which they
did by devious ways and bypaths, the
last glimpse 1 caught of them being that
of tiger playfully sparring with tawny
African lion.
In my next and concluding article will
tell my readers OF a few OF the varied adj
ventures of hair breadth escapes that have
been undergone by Karl Hagenbeck dur
ing his many years connection with the
wild beast world.

Yet because of the existence of just this

Even the most ubiquitous of American

him. He is simply gentleman
with the widest interests and uncommon
CAPACITIES who succeeded in convincing
the Times and then every other intelli-
gent observer, of his power and useful
ness. He has his own philanthropic ends

him to have SO esteemed a medium as the

table OF the serious events of the
day, volubly, picturesquely and with
conviction, although always ready to
listen and even to alter his
opinion at moments notice, though

that notice must be good. While he him
self makes the coffee the talk becomes
less exacting and more general. Often
he tells you of his pictures and points out
to you the panels set into the wall of the
room, works OF his friends, great can
vases by NJ. Clairin or by Nile. Sarah
Bernhardt, and one sunny view OF the
Norman house on the cliff by NJ. Dnphot.
After dinner in the private study, with
it's high walls covered with paintings
and souvenirs and autographs, photo
graphs of the greatest names of France,
you smoke IN the arms OF your easy
chair, the wood fire burning brightly in
propped by divan cushions, and with one
leg curled under him, drops grandly into
pleasant "reminiscences. One has visions
OF Bagdad. After an hour like this you
wonder when NJ. de Blowitz works. But
he has been working all the time. He
has been thinking in one-hah OF a very
capacious brain aud talking from
another. The chances are that he will
have planned a column article for the
half hour to rummage in his
books while he dictates the article, tele-
phoned for his carriage to await him at Q
O'Clock in the court below, and asked you
to accompany him to the opera-all before
he has finished his cigar. But then the
cigar is a remarkably good one and knows
not, as is the case with ambassadorial
nicotine, the protective customs OF
France.
Life means to NJ. de Blowitz a mental
activity and alertness that never sleep.
Yet he is always amiable, tolerating
everything except stupidity. He is a
journalist by 'snatural selection" But
that, in the Europe of his time, and
given the accidents of his fortune, made
him the dlplomatist that he has been
and is. w. MORTON FULLERTON.
