Pelayo is slightly heavier in point of
service than either of our own battle
ships Both the Oregon and Indiana
have the thickest of side armor, but it
is only in partial belt which protects
the vitals of the ship. 1t is of a max
imum thickness of is inches and is COM
posed of Harveyized nickel steel. The
bore of the guns of these battleships is
about 13 inches in diameter. The guns
are mounted within 17-inch stel tur
retS and five inches of steel protects
the 6-inch battery
We are very proud of the cruiser New
York, and indeed she is a fine ship, as
every one can testify who has been
aboard of her. She has her prototype
in the Spanish navy in the armored
cruiser Emperator Carlos V While
very stronly resembling the New York
she is perhaps trifle larger. her tonnage
being 300 to the New York's $780, She
carries two 1l-inch guns in barbettes 10
inches thick; eight 512-inch rapid-fire
guns, and four 4-inch firers. together
with a powerful secondary battery of
rapd-fire and 3-pounder guns Her
protective deck is six inches thick and
her sides are partially plated with Pinch
steel. She is the newest of the Spanish
fleet of any considerable size.
Not only have we fair match for the
Carlos in the New York, but the Brook
lyn will keep her hands full. In tonnage
she is a little more than the equal of the
Carlos, her total being $500. The Brook
lyn is a better ship than the New York,
and that is saying good deal She car
ries eight S-inch and twelve 5-inch guns,
to the New York's six S-inch and twelve
4-inch. While the Brooklyn's armor is
a trife inferior to the New York's, it is
infinitely more modern. However, the
United States naval officers. comparing
the fighting strength of the Carlos, ths.
Brooklyn and the New York, take into
consideration what seems to most peo-
pie only superstiton-the Brooklyn 5

officers say that If she ever did get into
q real fight she would be sure to become
disabled at critical moment.
There is in the Spanish navy also one
of the finest types of the modern ar
mored cruiser. 1t is the Infarta Maria
Theresa. She represents feet of eight
cruisers of her own sort which fly the
Spanish/flag. Her armament consists
Of two 945-inch guns in barbettes and
ten 5.5-inch rapid firers. For protection
she has a belt at the water line twelve
inches thick along the central body Of
the ship Twelve inches is the thick
ness Of the barbette armor The nearest
approach that we have to this class of
war vessel is found in the Maine or
Texas, whose tonnage is 1000 and 6500 re-
spectively The Maine has four 10

and the latter has two Pinch guns in

THE LEAVES OF TIME
(1Sa6-1S47l

(1S96-1S97.)
The leaves of Time how swift they turn
Each year is as an arrow sped;
Death catches one within his urn,
Another comes rose-garlanded.
The written leaf has passed our power
Either TO alter or undo;
And now we face the solemn hour
Which ushers in the leaf that's new.
Though tender love and fond regret
Checker for US the year that's past
Hopes shining promise beckons yet
To vistas looming grand and vast.
Let cypress drape the year which went
Down the dark corridors of Time;
While lilies wreathe the one unspent.
Which heralds joys and dreams sublime.
The travel of the stars and sun
Goes on in noiseess mystery;
We see transcendent things begun,
But not at all what yet shall be.
So strange these human annals are.
So far they reach beyond our ken;
The motion of the farthest star
Is somehow with the sons OF men.
Linked in a destiny unseen,
But shaping as the leaves unroll,
Greater fruition than has been
For every waiting human soul
Pray that this leaf of spotless white.
Whose clean space covers land and sea,
In all it's issues infinite
Help for a better world may be.
May wars red horrors fade and cease.
And human love have larger birth,
And may the thousand years OF peace
Descend to hallow all the earth:

LENTEN RELAXATIONS.
over the social life of the national
capital has fallen the quietude Of Lent
the season of meditation and withdrawal
from worldly dissipation. There are
numberless quiet attractions appro-
pirate to the season. Just now it is the
proper thing for the smart set to at
tend the concerts given by the Marine.
band at their barracks every Monday
afternoon from to 8. This is an ex-
tremeiy pleasant Lenten diversion at
which debutantes and their friends are
much in evidence. Another attraction
for the ultra fashionableones who are
just now resting in sackcloth and ashes
are the delightful organ recitals by Mr..
d Theophile at St. Johns following the
short afternoon service on Saturdays.
IDA TARBELL.
Then there are any number Of after
noon lectures and recitals, prominent
lmong which is the series given at the
Washington club on Fridays at o'clock.
The first, which occurred last week. was
in the foru of a bright, clever talk by
Miss Ida Tarbell, who is we'll known
I. through her connection with McClure's
Magazine. to which she has contributed
lives of Lincoln, Napoleon and Nine.
I Roland.
Three years Miss Tarbell lived in
Paris, that most fascinating capital in
the world, and had the privilege of see
ing a side of it denied to the casual OBJ
server. She is an exceedingly bright,
clever woman, with an eye for the pic
turesque and a keen sense of humor
Her talk-a tale of her life there as a
student-was full of interest and charm
, for all those who know Paris through
their visits or their reading.
OTHER DIVERSIONS
This week Mr.. John Fox. jr., who is
spending some time in Washington as
the guest of his friend, Mr.. Thomas
Nelson Page, gave reading from his
novels, dealing with life in the southern
mountains, and next Friday the final
lecture of the series will be given by
Mr.. Bernard r. Green, who will tell the
story of art in the congressional library
building, illustrating his talk with
stereopticon views.
The proceeds of these lectures go to
the scholarship fund of the Vassar Stu
dents Aid society.

delightful Shakespearean readings are
being given at the Washington club

ish navy is the Esalayo, of 10000 tons
burden, which was constructed by
French shipbuilders e.1Sout ten years ago
She represents, despite the fact or her
age, the most formidable advancement
along the line of naval warfare ac-
complished during the period that has
elapsed since the rebellion. Her ram is
of the most powerful variety, and her
battery consists of two 12.5 inch
rapid firing guns, which practically con-
stitute her broadside Then there is
the secondary battery, consisting or q
dozen smaller guns and SIX torpedo
tubes.
1t will thus be seen that there is no
vessel in the United States navy more
powerful than the Pelayo so far as
armament is concerned. Now how about
her armor? She is provided with a
steel water-line belt of a maximum
thickness of IS inches, and this renders
her as impregnable as modern skill can
make a warship, so far as resistance
to projectiles that are fired at her is
concerned. Not only is she thus ar
mored and armed, but her condition is
thoroughly up to date, as only TWO
months ago she was repaired and re-
tubed at the Ferrel navy yard. She has
a speed of about 16 knots an hour, and
in this respect alone is slightly inferior
to the biggest craft in our navy.
The battleship Iowa, which has her
trial trip next month. win be the one
vessel in the United States navy which
will come near to equalng the Pelayo.
