NOVEL NAVAL ADVICE,
A French Expert Recommends Slow
Battle Ships of Great Power.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
1 send you few points from a conversa-
ton with NJ. Normaud, the noted construc-
tor of war vessels especially torpedo boats
for the French government, of which class
he has several on hand. NJ. Augustin Nor
maud remarked that undoubtedly France
was inferior to Great Britain in number of
warships, but that it was useless to at
tempt to decide beforehand the result of a
modern naval war. 1t could however be
accepted as principle. both as to naval
fighting and warfare on land, that
different tactics must be adopted by the
weaker from those employed by the strong
er power. For the weaker side to initiate
the methods of the stronger must lead to
disaster. To continue to compete with
England on the same lines, but with less
money to spend on naval ornaments,
France, having large army to maintain,
would lead to her being reduced to a posi-
ton of Importance on the water.
The experienced constructor recommends
in order to insure a chance of success. the
employment of different strategy oppo-
site tactics, and dissimilar weapons from
those adopted by the adversary. 1t is of
no use for France to build one shin when
England is building three, copying at the
same time British types of vessel The
only thing in which to initiate the navy of
Albion Is In its numbers. He recommends
d SSHeIdl TSuucllOn IN the speed OF french
vessels In order to increase their numbers
with also at the same time an increase in
their defensive powers. A lesser fleet of
very rapid vessels would be fatal; they
would be of no use against the enemy's
merchant ships, which would sail under a
neutral flag. They could only use their
speed to escape from superior numbers.
so much is this question to the fore that
the government has actually ordered III.
Normaud to build two armored seagoing
torpedo boats, which are now being con-
structed in his yards, in addition to others
In the Mediterranean arsenals. The busi-
ness of battle ships is to fight under the
most favorable conditions, therefore num-
Der and strength are for them more i'm
portant than speed. Cruisers are for these
reasons not SO useful as fiotilias of torpedo
boats, because cruisers, cannot fight battle
ships nor capture merchant steamers under
another flag. The speed of torpedo vessels
as we'll as Of the vessels that escort them
should be great, and of course the scouts
All the other fighting ships should possess
comparatively low rate of speed.
These are the views of a French expert
given for the benefit of his countrymen.

Queer and Incurable Malady of q
Wagon Driver i'm New York.

queer ana Incurabie Malady OF q
Wagon Driver in New York.
From the New York Journal.
Rudolph Fisher an express wagon driver
who lives at No. 40 East 31st street. IS
again a patient in the Presbyterian Hos
pital, suffering from broken kneecap He
is known at the hospital as the "chaik
man." and the day is not far distant the
surgeons say, when his malady will have
advanced so far as to render him helpless.
Fishers bones break very easily. On We'd
nesday night he raised his right leg sud.
denly and the kneecap snapped. He had
suffered similar accidents before, and was
cautioned after each of them to move care
fully at all times. The progress of the dis
ease, however, has made his bones so brit
tie that only extraordinary care prevents a
recurrence of the fractures.
The malady from which Fisher suffers is
known to medical science as arthrites de-
formans, chronic disorder allied to rheu-
matism. 1t is more accurately described as
chronic hypertrophy, and in its more ad-
Nanced stages the slightest movement on
the part of the patient results in fractures
Fisher is in the initial stages of the dis
order, for which no cure is known. In its
progress the animal substance of the bones
gradually becomes calcined or chalky until
fractures refuse TO heal and the patient
must lie strapped in bed so as to prevent
all movement.
One of the most celebrated of these cases
was that of Peter Peters of Union Hill, n
j., who died last year. For twenty-one
years Peters lived strapped to his bed, so
as to prevent any movement that might
fracture his brittle bones. On one occasion
ten years before his death, Peters en-
deavored to raise a glass of water to his
lips. The effort broke three of his fingers
At another time, while tossing about on his
bed, he Clipped piece as large as silver
dollar out of the right side of his head.
