A NAVAL HERO'S STORY.
From the Times Herald. Chicago. III.

Late IN lS6l, when President Lincoln is
sued call for volunteers, L. j. Clark, of
Warren, Trumbull Co., Ohio, was among
the hrst to respond. He joined the mortar
feet OF Admiral Porter Just before the
memorable operations on the Mississippi
River began. Ii was at the terrific lombard
mnent OF the Nickshurg forts - the hero of
this story lell with a shatte rm from a
charge of Schrapnel.
Alter painful months in the hospital he
recovered sufficiently to be sent to his home
at Warren, Ohio. Another call for troops
fired his patriotic zeal and Clark soon en-
listed in Company II of the 9TH Ohio Vol
untcers. In the army OF the Potomac he
was in many engagements. Being wounded
in a skirmlSh near Richmond, he was sent to
the hospital and thence home.

1t would be possible to mass the en-

days. There appears to be some
doubt in some quarters as to the

One of the results of the recent
activity on the part of the govern
msnt in preparing for exigencies is
that every port on our coast in
which any considerable damage
could be done by warships of an
enemy, impossibility for the entire
naval force of Spain to enter a
single one of them, and that for
Spanish warships to even attempt
to do so would result in prompt des-
truotion. Thanks to an alert Presi-
dent and patriotic Congress, our
sea- coast cities are now safe from
either invasion or serious damage
from a foreign enemy.

assertion made in these columns that

advantage through the enactment of

cent issue that: ''Refiners who

years, and, do not dream of buying

THE UNITED STATES
NAVY.

just at this time when interest in
our navy and army has been much
aroused few facts concerning the
vessels of our navy will probably
prove interesting to many of our
readers. In the past fifty years a
great change has been made in the
construction of vessels used for war
and commerce. Formerly they were
built of wood, but now steel or iron
is used for the building of all men
of-war and also for a large majority
of the merchant ships. The vessels
of navy can be divided into two
classes-those used for attacking
purposes and those for defensive.
Battle-ships are to give and take
heavy blows. They are large, heav-
lily armored with iron from ten to
twenty inches thick. There are
now eight, the Maine (Which was one
of our smaller ones) made nine. A
large gun on the Maine could throw
shot weighing 2, 300 lbs, so the force
of a throw from one of our larger
battleships may be imagined.
Cruisers often called Commerce
destroyers" as in war perhaps their
greatest value consists in destroying
the enemy 5 merchant vessels, are
built OF steel, not armored, thus they
are lighter though not much smaller
than the battle-ships. We have six
teen cruisers. The Baltimore and
Chicago are in this class and they
have speed OF from twenty to
twenty-six miles an hour
Armored cruisers of which the
New York and Brooklyn are the
only ones in our navy, have some
OF the qualities Of both the Battle
ships and cruisers. They have the
speed Of the cruisers and also an ar
NOR from three to five inches.
The defensive vessels are much
more numerous i'll our navy. They
are planned to prevent the landing
of foreign armies, to protect us
from attack and to destroy vessels
sent to attack us. The general name
given to these vessels is Monitor
taken from the first vessel of this
type which was used to overcome
the Merrimac, They consist of an
iron float upon which is one, some
times two, revolving turrets con-
tanning two large guns each. As
the tulret is circular, shot is likely
to glance from it and a, it revolves,
guns may be fired in any direction.
These vessels are intended for coast
defense and not for long trips as
they are slow and heavy. Our navy
has six large double-turret ones.
Gun. boats are much smaller vessels,
of these we have number useful
mainly to help the larger vessels of
war and to patrol the coasts.
Next come the torpedo-boa still
smaller but the fastest of all, able
to make twenty-six TO twenty eight
miles an hour, not armored but fixed
with tubes through which they can
discharge torpedoes. Their tor
pedoes will destroy the largest
battle-ships afloat if they can get
near enough before they are hit
They are dangerous opponents,
owing TO the power of their torpedoes
and their speed which enables them
to escape from larger vessels.
