Another Spanish Ship nothing like
so good a vessel in any respect as the
above, which will soon swell the list
OF United States naval vessels, is the
Reina Mercedes, sunk in the entrance
of Santiago harbor. ~ e.
The Mercedes is an iron cruiser,
launched in 1887 at Cartagena. She has
but single screw and is bark-rigged,
carrying yards and sails, Her dimen-a
sions are: Length; 280 feet; beam, 43
feet and draught of water about 16
feet. Her displacement is about 3,1OO
tons. Her armament consists of six G.
inch guns, two 2.7-inch and about a
dozen Of the smaller rapid-fire calibers,
and she has five torpedo tubes. Her
recorded speed is IT'S knots, and her
coal capacity 600 tons.

Before closing this account of addi-
tions to our navy as the result Of the
war, mention should be made of the
ship we have bought but have not yet
acquired. She is the Albany, now
completing at the yards of Sir William
Armstrong, at ElsWick, England. She
is. a sister vessel Of that excellent
cruiser. the New Orleans, that has. done
such effective work on the blockade off
Santiago. Her dimensions are.
Length, $50 feet; beam, 43 feet 8
inches; mean draught, IL feet. Her
displacement is about $500 tons. She
is constructed Of steel, is wood sheath
ed and coppered. Her highest speed
is estimated at over 20 knots, and her
coal capacity Of 100 tons is estimated
to be sufficient to enable her to steam
5000 miles.

Once upon time a Tramp was Sore

preaching Farmhouse he spake unto
the Farmer, saying: IF you will give
me the Wherewithal to satisfy the
Cravings of the inner Man, 1 will kill

and he ordered his Good Wife to- give
the Tramp a Square Meal After the
Tramp had devoured everything in
sight he went to the wood-pile and Sc

placed at certain height above the
water line throughout the greater part
of the length of the vessel, curves down
below the water line at the ends, the
thickness being three inches amid
ships and two inches at the extremities.
The armored belt, covering four-fifths
of the length of the vessel, protects
the space from the armored deck to
below the water line. e.
There are two barbettes, situated
within the extremities of the belt, Of
ten inches of armor, and the ammuni-
ton hoists are protected by eight
inches of steel. The coming tower,
containing the compasses, steering
wheel, telegraphs and voice tubes, is

The Colon was the second ship of
the class to be built, the first having
been sold to the Argentine Republic.
Her keel was laid on September rs,
1895, and her construction was rushed.
1t was at this juncture that Spain,
seeing the urgent necessity of adding
to her fleet some modern vessels fit
for service, approached the Italian
shipbuilders on the subject of selling
this fine ship. The Ansaldos obtained
the Italian governments permission.
and proceeded to finish the vessel to
suit the wishes Of her purchasers.

To drink out Of the milkpail,
While you poise 1t in the air
When some other has extracted
The rich fluid that is there.
What a joy it is, in summer,
To be free upon the farm:
All, the very air seems freighted
With a mystic sort of charm;
Round and over all a dreamy.
Peaceful spirit seems to lurk-~
That is, if you do the dreaming,
While some others do the work.

On April 20, 1897, the natural
draught trial Of the ship took place
and was eminently satisfactory, the
full contract speed being obtained
without resOrting to forced draught
At the forced sdraught three hours
trial the two engines developed col

any use for those fellows in the navy.
