Lost Arts.

Many arts of former ages have been
lost. Painting on glass, for instance,
as practiced in the monkish ages, is
comparatively unknown to us. We can
not produce those splendid colorings so
remarkable on the painted windows in
ancient cathedrals, churches, etc. The
art of engraving on crystal stones and
granite, as practiced by the Philippians,

THE BATTLE SHIP IOWA.
VIII Be the Most Formidable Graft
in Our New Navy.
Over q Thousand Tons Larger Than the
Indiana and a Knot Faster-"Tumble
Home" Sides a Feature of Its
Construction.

About two years and half ago the
keel of the Iowa was laid, and within
another year she will be completed and
ready to join the North Atlantic squad
ron. She is now over 1000 tons greater
displacement than the sister ships In
diana, Oregon and Massachusetts,, and
several feet longer and broader.
One striking popularity of the YES
sci is her "tumble-home" sides, or in
curved bulwarks, that makes the French
warships so different in appearance
from those of other navies. The old
Constitution is one of the few ships
that have ever been in the American
navy with sides of this design. The OBJ
ject was to give defective side to shot
and in the Iowa the idea carried out is
to afford greater rapidity of fire and
ease of manipulating the guns in her
broadside sponsors. One great mill
tary mast with an interior spiral stair
way leads to two fighting tops, where
rapid fire guns are stationed and ac-
commodations provided for a large
number of sharpshooters. Her compile
ment of men will be nearly 500, or great
err than that of any preceding warship
of the new navy.
The Iowa is constructed under the act
of July 10, 1892, when provision was
made for one "seagoing battleship of
about 5000 tons displacement" to cost,
exclusive of armament and speed prem
iums, not more than 100000. ToSec-
rotary Tracy, assisted by his advisers,
Chief Constructor Wilson and Engineer
in-Chief George W. Melville, were left
the details. Comparing the Iowa and
the Indiana, the difference between
their dimensions may be appreciated
by the accompanying measurements:

tory gives Great Britain the benefit of
a strategic point of great Importance,
and his work has been amply rewarded.
Gen. Low comes of a fighting family,
and has seen no little service himself.
He is 81 years of age and entered the
Indian military service when lad of
Is. AS cadet he saw service in the
Southal campaign, and at IS he wac
made aid de camp to Archdale Wilson,
and served at Delhi. He fought with dis
tinction, and was given high commenda-
ton therefor. He was commandment of
the Thirteenth Bengal cavalry in the
Afghan war, and afterward director in
chief of transport. When Gen. Roberts
made his famous march from Cabool to
Candahar the superb organization of
the transport department aroused en-
thusiastic admiration of the experts.
Low was at the bottom of all this, and
was made c. B. at the end of the cam
paign. His next opportunity was with
the Burmah conquest, and his work as
brigadier general during that campaign
won for him the X. c. Z. In the Chitral
affair he had to call into action all the
cunning and skill of his genius as a
soldier and strategist, and this he did
to the entire satisfaction of his acquisi-
tive government and the unspeakable
disgruntlement of the enemy-the
Chitralis. Gen. Low is n native of
Clatto, Fifeshire, Scotland.

~ feet, four feet more beam, seven feet
four inches more freeboard forward,
an increased coal capacity of 200 tons
over either the normal or maximum coal
supply of the Indiana, 1000 more col
lective horsepower, and, as result,
one knot more of speed, together with
a corresponding increase of sustained
force of propulsion, which latter, rather
than high speed, was what saved the
English ship Calliope during the Sa-
moan disaster.
The hull will be of steel, with a
double bottom and close, watertight
subdivision of about ten feet above the
water line. The vessel will have one
military mast, with fighting tops, but
will carry no sail. The water line re-
gion of the hull is to be protected by
a side belt of IA inches of maximum
thickness, with a main depth of ~ feet.
The transverse armor at the ends of the
belt will be not less than IL inches in
thickness, with main depth of w feet.
for the 12-inch guns will have armor
not less than Is inches thick. The ships
sides, from the armor belt to the main
deck, will be protected by steel armor
five inches thick, and coal is to be car
ried back of this five-inch casemate
armor. An armored deck, not less than
three inches thick, is to extend forward
and aft from the ends of the armor belt,
and over the side armor belt this steel
deck will be 2A inches thick.
A coming tower, not less than ten
inches thick, will have an armored COM
munication tube not less than seven
inches thick extending to the armor
deck, and affording protection to speak
ng tubes, bell wires, etc.
The ships battery is to consist of the
following guns: Four 12-inch, eight
s-inch, and six 4-inch breech-loading
rifles; twenty 6-pounders, four 1-pound-
ers, four Gatlings, and one field gun.
Briefly, then, the Iowa, compared
with the Indiana, has greater length,
greater beam, more than 1000 tons adj
ditional displacement, increased length
of outer-belt line and greater coal en-
durance and. speed. together with the
