Take away this secondary battery,

turrets. and with the deck nearer the
waters edge, the battleship becomes a
monitor, a class of vessel that experts
maintain is more useful than a battle
ship for coast defense purposes. The
monitor Is a poor vessel in a rough
sea. and can only make a speed OF
about IL miles an hour. but she IL a

months Of 1897. All conversant with
the trade, and with what is going on
at the Pennsylvania and Vermont
quarries, know the opposite Is true,
and that export orders are moi only
more numerous and larger than for the
same period last ear, but also include
a wider range in kind and variety,
both for artistic effect and for COM
mon use, where durability rather than
beauty is desired. There is a stirring
building activity in England, where
in many towns 80 per cent OF the new
structures are covered with slate. me

Appreciating something Of this con-
dition, w. II. Hughes, a member OF the
Vermont Slate company-the sea
Green syndicate-three weeks ago
for the syndicate-three weeks ago
sailed for Liverpool to arrange Is posi-
BILE for the handling of larger consign-
ments abroad of these states, which are
noted for strength and durability, but
not for fixed color. About two years
ago some Sea Green states were ex-
ported which were represented as De-
ing unfading in color, or. rather, IL was
said that where they changed at all
they did so uniformly, and later on
proving otherwise, they were emphat-
ically condemned. In consequence OK
this happening, for more thai a year
il was almost impossible to export
these states, and other American quar-
nv products suffered for a time from
this i'll effect.
Different and more comuendable tac-
tics are now adopted. No claim is
! made but the truth; /. e., that these
states are strong and serviceapie
though far from unfading or UNIFORM
in fading in tint OF exposure. AS a re-
suit. Mr.. Hughes has Just sent BACK
word that he has met and is meeting
with greater success on his mission
than he anticipated; that there Is 9
ready market for all states OF stand
ard sizes in vogue abroad which are
on the banks at the Sea Green quar-
ries, amounting to some 10000 squares
