The Ericsson Is a cigar shaped vessel $50
feet long, less than 16 feet in width and
10 feet 6 inches in depth. It is built Of
steel plates three-sixteenths of an inch
thick, and the hull is strengthened by steel
bulkheads, which divide it into Is water
tight compartments. A compartment in
the bow, 81 by Is, is snug quarters for ~
men. Aft are the staterooms of the four
machinists, lined about a powder maya
zine. This a bulkhead divides from the
staterooms of the captain and the engi-
neers. A lavatory and pantry are situated
in the stern.
The engines are situated amidships. The
engine room contains bunkers for 40 tons
Of coal and q reservoir for 800 gallons of
distilled water. There are two sets Of four
cylinder quadruple expansion engines Of
the vertical, inverted, direct acting type,
operating twin screws and making 42O
revolutions per minute. The engines are
expected to develop 2, 900 horsepower. The
boilers are Of the ~Thornycroft pattern.
The fixed tube in the bow is the main
feature Of the Ericsson's armament. It is
IS inches in diameter and about Is feet
long and will be discharged with COM

THE POET sWlNBURNE.
He Still wooes the Muse as A%ssiduously as
of YOre.

Since 1861, when Algernon Charles
Swinburne published his first volume,
1.-THE Queen Mother and Rosamund, the
years have been very few in which he has
not issued n or more books of some kind,
either poetry or prose, and the total num-
Der Of his volumes certainly exceeds the
number Of the years that have passed since
then. That the world Of ideas has been
greatly enriched by his writings probably
none but a~scetics will deny, though it is
likely that all but his most enthusiastic
admirers will admit that modern literature
would not be greatly impoverished if some
of his work were suppressed.
Controversy has ragged about him re-
