ENGLISH NAVAL WONDERS.
A Model That ExceIs the Dcstroyers
of other Nations.

For some years it was the custom to
predict qualities of almost absolute per-
lection of the little 150-ton torpedo craft.
Naval experts were fond of describing
the effect which would be finally pro-
duced by them upon an enemy's fleet.
1t was always inferred that they would
appear in large number in conflicts. They
were going on to harass the foe on all
sides. and they would move so quickly
and were SO tiny of form that it would
be next to impossible to ward thenl off.
But the rise of the destroyer has rep
resented certain well-defined objections
to all these fine theories. The English
concluded that it would be better to go
into a contest of flyers, depending on
eagle or hawks, h with only a brood
of naval chickens. Today the French
navy, as well as Russia, Ialy and Ger
mny are equipped with large fleets of
the tiniest torpedo boats, many of which
are good for twenty-five to twenty-s.x
knots. That is a high rate of speed. but
it is not fast enough for the purpose.
The British Admiralty, on the other
hand. has supplied itself with a large
number of faster vessels, which embody
all the qualities of the smaller flyers ex-
cept the one element of small SIZE. Be

HsH Eted ana Fsnc kAtAns ~
An Englishman was recently fined in
Germany for wishing to christen his son
Francis. He writes to the London
DAILY News as follows:
TN October last my wife had a son,
and we desired to give him my Chris
tan name, Francis When I went to
the Standes-amt to register this name,
registration was refused. l was informed
hat according to law Of the 18th. day
of Germanial of the year II, only names
which are in the calendar or taken from
ancient history are permitted. / made
inquiries as to the origin and history of
this law, and was told that at the time
this act was passed there was in Paris
a large lumber of people who demon
strated their politics by giving their chill
oren the nam Robespierre and the like.
This was objectionable TO the party in
power, and hence the law. 1t still re-
mains in force in some parts of the Ger
man empire, which at that time were
French, and excludes in these parts
the use of such real German names as
Hans, Mariana and Annalnese (the an
c~estress of the princely house of Anhalt
Dessau).
II appealed to the superior courts for
a more liberal Interpretation of the law,
but neither was my plea that francis
was merely short for 'Franciskus,' who
does occur in the German calendars,
regarded, nor was my claim hat Sir
Francis Drake and Franc Bacon might
be regarded as heroes of ancient history
accepted. l was ~fortunat in securing the
assistance of the foreign Office, her
majesty's d'affaires at Munich endeavored
to obtain for me. the permission | desired,
to call my son by my W name, but it
was all without avail; the registration
was forbidden. The higher courts at
Zwebrucken and Munich appear to have
regarded the case as a test one, for they
gave no costs against me-. The decision
in the final appeal was delivered on We'd
nesday last. You may judge Of my sur
prise when I found myself sentenced by
the police court here to- a fine of three
marks and costs, or in default one days
Imprisonment, for not having effected the
registration two months after birth. My
