MODERN IRoNcLADs.

The modern ironclad probably had 1t
origin in the very beginning of tn
century and In the brain Of that grea
statesman and engineer, Colonel JohI
Stevens. He, in 1872 or earlier. con
ceived the idea Of constructing al
iron-plated vessel-of-war with sauces
shaped hull propelled by screws so ar
ranged that direction as well as for
, ward motion could be given them. TIL,
battery was to be Of the heaviest ord
nance OF the time. and the plating
heavy enough to resist the shot OF
similar guns at short range. The mair
purpose of the ship was the defense OF
our harbors, and the plan of action
was to moor the ship by chain leading
down through the bottom of the vessel
at It's center, ard to spin the craft
around this center, firing gun after gun
as II came In line of fire. thus antlci-
patlng the the later Timby turret
which. in turn. was the gem of the
modern monitor" ironclGd. Such a
vessel was actually built, half century
later, hy the Russian government, and
the Popoffska rs 1.-the contemporary
representative of the first Stevens bat
terry.
The metal RAINBOW was familiar In
the days Of the ancient Greeks. The
Inscriptions on stone, unearthed in the
Plraeus in 1884, gave us the information
that three-banked war vessels were in
sc several centuries before the chris
lian era. and that four banks OF oars
came into use about 4si b. c. The
sizes and proportions OF these vessels
We're given In great detail In this an
Client record and. among other data,

It is an interesting and curious fact
that the old Greeks and Romans. as
well as the old Scandlnavians, had.
before the dawn OF the historical per-
iod, apparently. learned the best forms
for their ships and had adopted the
very proportions adopted by nature
herself when endeavorlng TO secure
high speeds. This proportion was about
seven or seven and one-half times the
breadth Of beam for the length OF the
ship on the water line. Some OF the
largest vessels are said to have been
go feet long and 81 feet In breadth
Of beam. Docks AZ Zea were 20 feetl
wide and over 100 feet long.
The FIRST lronclad actually laid down
was the Stevens battery OF lsls. de-
signed by Robert l. stevens. in con-
sultation with his father Colonel John
Stevens. and under contract with the
United States government for "a war
steamer for harhor defense. shot ana
shell proof, to be built principally OF
iron." It was TO be $50 feet long, 40
feet beam. and OF equal depth. and was

The example set by the latter-day
pilgrims who have been making an ex-
cursion in New England and New York
in order to see with their own eyes va
Iious places of historic interest is like
first-hand knowledge. Take, for in
stance, the battle Of Gettysburg. A good
many Of those who took part in that
battle are still alive, and Of these, not
a few have recorded in print their mem-
orles of the famous and decisive strug-
gle. But no description, no series of
maps or charts, no brilliant word-paint-
ing, can convey to the average mind
the impression produced by an actual
visit to the scene Of the conflict under
the direction of capable guide. These
modern pilgrims have been interested
chiefly in matters connected with our
revolutionary history If they have not
acquired fund of valuable Information
the fault is their own. They have en-
joyed excellent opportunities A per
sonally conducted" tour of this kind
could scarcely fail to produce important
returns in both pleasure and profit.

1886 feet deep was begun still later un-

power. The first ironclads actually built
and employed in warfare were those of
the French navy of 1854, the Devasta-
tion, the Lave and the Tonnage, which
did effective work in the Crimean war,
beside the ships of the British fleet.
The French built the Gloire in 1858, and
the British ship Warrior was ordered
in 1853. Ironclads have since that ua,e
been admittedly the only really tor-
midable war vessels. Witho1t them il
Is doubtful whether the operation Oh
our own navy during our civil war
could have been successful. This is the
authentic history Of the ironclad ofI
our day. According TO some authorities
the Dutch were the first in modern his
tory TO build an ironclad, and IL isl
SAID that during the siege Of Antwerp
by the Spaniards in 1886, the people
Of that city built an enormous fiat-bot-
toned vessel, afnored it with heavy
armor plates, ard thus constructed
what they regarded as an impresnable
battery which, they named FINS Beln.
Unfortunately the vessel got aground
before fairly in action, and fell into
the hands of the enemy. 1t was held
by Alexander of Parma to the end of
the siege, as curiosity, but was never
employedyDy either side in any action.

ON THE SAFE SIDE.

Everybody knows this is a good place
to be, but everybody does not take
measures to be there. An efficient pre-
ventative places us on the safe side Of
incipient disease, and there is no one
more reliable than Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters In cases where the kidneys are
inactive, which is bue the preliminary
to various destructive maladies, which
disregarded have fatal termination.
Bright's disease, diabetes, dropsy, oede,
ma, are but the outgrowths of neglected
inaction Of the kidneys and bladder.
They should be checked at the outset
with bitters, which will prevent their
progress by arousing the renal organs
to activity, and thus place those who
resort to this saving medicine on the
safe side. This preservative of safety
also conquers constipation, liver COM
plaint malarial fever, nervousness and
dyspepsia.

With the object Of putting an end to
the wholesale and indlscrimlnate
slaughter of elephants in Africa, which
threatens to result in the extinction of
that animal within very short space
of time, the British government is now
in negotiation with the other powers
possessing interests in the Dark Con-
tinent to bring about the prohibition
of the expectation from Africa of all
tusks under ten pounds weight. It is
believed that when this is accomplished
the natives will soon cease to slaughter
the small and growing elephants, since
they would thereby be wasting their
powder to no purpose At the present
time they are killed regardless of their
ge or the size of their tusks, and the
result is that large proportion of the
ivory that reaches the seacoast from
the interior is so young as to be abb
solutely worthless for Industrial pur-
poses.

FRANCE AND BELGIUM AT ODDS

While in Europe France and Belgium
have managed to live in harmony with
one another for more than half a CEN
tury, there has been a constant sue
oesslon OF quarrels between the two
during the short time that has elapsed
since they became neighbors in Africa,
and according to the latest dispatches,
n collision may occur at any moment
between the two countries in the Sou
dan involving them in a war at home
Of all the disputes which have taken
place, the most serious is the one in
progress, which originated in the rival
claims of King Leopold and the French
government to the territory north of
the 4th degree of latitude. France
bases her demands upon the treaties
of 1855, and 1887, by which according to
her, the Congo State, which Is to all
intents and purposes Belgian colony,
bound itself not to cross either this lat
itude or the Ubangui river. King Leo
pold contends that as France has never
taken the trouble to develop or to ex-
plore the regions In question; that AS
as Belgium has spent much money and
lost many men in pacifying them, II
has n better right than any other ma
ton to hold them; and he also takes
exception to the Interpretation placed
by the French Foreign Office upon the
two treaties in questelon Belgium is
already In possession OF the territory,
has O large force there commanded by
officers Of the regular Belgian army.
and is hurrying reinforcements to the
Soudan.
on the other hand the French govern
ment has Just fitted out an expedition
consisting OF about 600 picked white
soldiers under the command of the
famous explorer Captain Montiel, and
about thirty officers, with the avowed
purpose Of forcing the Belgians to retire
from this district. A collision is there
fore exceedingly probable as both
countries are fully alive to the advan-
tages to be derived from the possession
OF the soudan, which is practically the
key to the whole African questionable
power that establishes itself most flrm-
~ in Central Africa being the one
that in future ages will control the des-
tinios OF the Dark Continent, Should
this expected collision In Africa be-
tween the regular forces OF the Belgian
and French armies lead, as II is feared,
to reprlsals and possibly hostlllties in
Europe. the affair might possibly re-
suit In the outbreak OF a European war,
since Germany would certainly never
stand quietly by and see Belgium at
tackled by France without coming to {
her assistance, being bound thereto not
alone by treaties that are known to be
In existence, but also by the conviction /
that Belgium in French hands would ]
constitute a standing menace and dan
ger to the German Empire,
