The Evening Papers Superiority.

which relates to the newspaper press.
In the old days before telegraphs,
ocean cables, long and short distance
telephones, lightning type setting ard
lightning type printing machines the
morning paper was the one to which
the public looked for the news of the
day, that is, the news of yesterday.
News necessarily travelled so slowly
and was transferred to the printed
page so slowly in the absence of these
,ime-killing appliances that it was i'm
possible for an evening paper to furn-
nish each day the news of the current
day. This is so no longer. Under the
changed condition of things, because
of the marvellous facilities at its dis
posal, it is the evening paper which is

Their Idea of Our Brooklyn.

The next ship in interest is also a
cruiser, but repr sents the United
States. The Brooklyn is about the
same size as the Blake, but she is a
much more modern and powerful ship.
She has a very curious appearance,
siuce her masts are lower than usual.
while her tunnels are of unprecedented
height, rising 100 feet from the furnace
floors below. This is an idea of Chief
| E CINE err Melville's. though it years
ago found favor in England, when the
tunnels of our cruiS rs building under
the naval defence act were increased
in height. Within the past few months
the tunnels of the Powerful and Terri
be have also been heightened, return
it will be observed to the practice of
our ancestors. The Brooklyn is a
| twin-Screw ship, with engines of Is, 700
| horse power, which on her trial gave
her a speed of 2I.9 knots. Delusive as
are speed tests in England, they are
still more delusive in the United States,
where the ships are run in very light
trim, and rarely or never repeat their
trial per Torrance. We cannot, there
fore, re = ard the Brooklyn, despite her
paper speed, as being the equal in
pace of the Powerful. The Brooklyn
has remarkably heavy battery, and
is well armOred: she belongs, indeed,
to class of ship which is designed pri-
secondarily, if need be, to take their
place in the fighting line. She carries
eight eight-inch guns in four turrets,
disposed lozengewise-one forward,
one aft, and one on either beam amid
ships Thus six of these large guns
can fire ahead, astern. or on either
broadside.
The armOr of the turrets is from ff
teen inches to Is! inches thick. There
are twelve five-inch quick-tirers. firing
ffty-pourd shell, all behind fourinch
armOr. as many six-pounders. and eight
smaller guns. The quick-frerS are
scarcely heavy enough for SO large a
cruiser, and they are of a pattern 10
ferior to ours, but the brOadside, 1,15O |
pounds in weight, is very formid able. |
On the water line there is a bet of |
,hree-inch steel for about half the
ships length, and very complete sys-
TEN of pro- ection by cofferdams, or
small compartments filled with corn
pith c4llulose. This swells when a
shot hole admits the water and auto

The cellulose has been we'll tested, |
has been proved non-inhammable by
ordinary and bieh-eXplosive shells,
and might well be employed in British
ships, since its virtues were demon
strated at the Yalu. where it saved
two Japanese cruisers. There is an
amor deck three inches to six inches
thick. The coal carried is 1,1SO tons
when all buukers are filed. which will
take the ship 1000 knots at a twenty
