1t is in the character of her battery that
the ship Is an eye-opeI,er to the ordnance
people eof this country, and a revelation
quite too advanced for the British admir-
atty as well, even though all the guns are
made right in the heart of England. It is
thirty-eight such rapid-fre guns as the
o Higgins has. The gurs are of the follow
ing numbers and calibers:
Four S-inch rapid fire. ten 6-irch rapid
fire, four 4.7-inch rapid fire, ten 12-pourder
rapid fire. ten 6-pounder rapid fire, not to
mention the four ma chine guns for the
tops the three torpedo tubes, one OF
which Is said to be of the underwater dis
charge type-a secret mechanism well
worth buy.rg.
Compared with the S-inch gurS on either
the Brooklyn or the New York the S-inch
rapid-fire guns on the O'Higgins can fire
four times many sot in the same period,
while the 6-fEch gun, rapid fire or other

This is the most dangerous Of the year

greater on account Of sudden changes in the

A man has been found in Rome who

Of Imprisonment on the lie du Diable. He
is General Paolo Tibaldi, who, with Ledru-
Rollin, Mazzini and Campanella, was con-
demned to deportation for life on the
charge of conspiring against Napoleon III.
He says that in his day the island was a
bare rock, without a tree or a blade Of
grass, and each of the prisoners had no
shelter from the sun until he made a hut
of driftwood. The government provisions.

The VOclferOus Blue Jay.

rfoui tne new 1Ork Tribune.
The blue jay is a permanent resident of
our groves. When the deepest SHOWS cover
the ground he may be seen fitting about in
the sunny tops of the pine and hemlock
trees. His winter coat is hardly as bril-
liant as the plumage he wears few months
later, during the mating season, but the
markings are the same. He is about one
fifth larger than robin. His general
color is pale blue; the wings and tail, which
are darker blue. are barred with black.
The splendid blue crest of the male is erect
ed when he Is fighting for his nestlinps or
In any way excited. The throat and under
parts OF the bird are pearly white, and
he wears black collar. There was never
greater misnomer than the name "iay"
applied to foolish. awkward person, The
jay is no guy among BIRDS He is one of
the most beautiful as well as one Of the
most intelligent Of all our native birds He
possesses all the wit and love Of mischief
which characterize the common crow to
wnom ne Is so nearly related. Thoreau
quotes letter to Wilson. the ornithologist,
to show that the jay, like the squirrel and
some other birds and animals, lays up a
winter store of nuts, corn and hard seeds
In post holes and similar places. His thiev-
lsn Isl nanit and taste for the eggs and young
OF smaller birds keep the jay in continual
discord with his neighbors. No sooner are

had been driven from their nest ensconced
themselves In one of the rooms and ON the
upper piazza of a woodland cottage, show
Ing less fear of the inmates than Of their

little ones, while the magnifcently plum
aged male bird kept guard and drove awav

teresting pet. He has crows love Of
Jewelry and glittering objects. which he
will steal and secrete with his store Of
treasures. Like the magpie, he belongs to
that subfamily Of the crow family known
as the garruiinae: These are all noisy
powers of imitation. In captivity, It is
said. the jay has been taught to utter

speed of fourteen knots. A broad band OF

Should Make Us Reflect.
The remarkable character of all these
English-built ships centers principally in
their powerful batteries of rapid-flre guns:
and 1t is not alone by the use of "cordite''
that they are SO effective. Their up-:o-date
pieech mechanisms are the main cause.
and the attainment is one calculated to
