IA. 4.450-horsepower engines, capable Of send
ing her along at a speed Of 1875 knots an

Her armament consists Of two o2-inch
22-ton and ten 6-inch 5-ton breechloading
rifles, which overshadows any Of the arms
carried by the United States cruisers. She
carries crew of 574 men, and the arrange
ment of her engines Is claimed to be scien-
tifcally perfect. She is propelled by twin
screws, driven by four distinct sets of triple
expansion, inverted cylinder engines. placed
In four separate compartments, two sets
being coupled together on the port and star
board sides respectively for driving each
screw. No damage to one set in action can
interfere with the other. and similarly each
gun has its own independent supply, SO
that the explosion of one can have no effect
on another. Imagine, II you can, this vast
floating fortress OF the sea vomiting over
600 pounds of solid metal from each side at
every shot and nearly as much more from
bow and stern.

seem small indeed. But among them is the

our old ally, France, has paid very little at

comparatively modern and efficient.
This is az IL should be. for she Is named
for the greatest naval genius France ever
produced, fisherman's son who fought his
way mp to the rank OF an admiral, and OF
whom scores OF amusing anecdotes are still
told by French sailors. One OF them runs

rifles. Here companions are the Etna, $50
