sufficiently developed for beauty. We
do not use our arms sufficiently to
give them the muscular growth they
need and to do away with the sharp

ugly, except when they are gracefully

the elbows away from the side in a

the material used was finer and the

modern navy hold the same mutual re- lation as the three-decker and the swift frigate in the days of the sailing ship When a fleet set sail in the olden days to find the enemy and bring him to bat tie upon the high seas, the heavy and somewhat slow line-of- battle ships kept together in a methodical forma- tion, while the fri~ateS cruised at a dis tance of several miles, where they could report the first appearance of the en- emy and signal to the main fleet his position and maneuvers. When the main fleet had been brought within tie fell upon the three-deckers.
 To-day the swift protected cruiser will perform the same duties for the heavily armored and more cumbrous ships. When the attack takes place it will be the ships and ar mored cruisers that will decide the iS- sue Hence the battles ships will con- stitute a nations main line of offense and defense upon the sea. A cruiser will avoid engagement with a battle ship-it will be no disgrace to her if she shows it a clean pair of heels, trusting to her great speed for safety; for she could neither hope to pierce the armor nor resist the great guns of the heavier ship.
 The battle ship is built to fight. It is designed with this sole object in view, and it must be prepared to fight at any time, and if need be against big

odds. It has great offensive power and equally great powers of resistance.
 There has been only one great naval fight between modern warships-the battle of the Yalu, between Japanese and Chinese fleets-and the most, by far the most important fact developed by that engagement was the correct ness of the theories upon which mod ern battle-ships are designed. The brunt of the Japanese attack fell upon two somewhat antiquated battle-ships, the Ting Yuen and Chen Yuen, and for several hours the swift Japanese cruis- CTS circled around these two grim ships of war, pouring in perfect hail or rapid-fire shells, with occasional shells from their great 66-ton guns; yet the two battle-ships came out of the fight with their armor and big guns practi- cally intact The same deadly concen- tration of shell-f1re would have sunk a whole fleet of cruisers. Had the Chi nese battle ships been manned by bet ter crews the Yalu would have had an- other ending.
 The new navy of the United States Is relatively strong in battle ships. We have now twelve first-class ships of this type either built, building or author ized. Four, the Indiana, Massachusetts, Oregon and Iowa, are in commission; two, the Kentucky and Kearsarge, are launched; three, the Alabama, Illinois and Wisconsin, are about half com pleted, and three others are authorized.

home port; and, finally, she must be armed with a powerful battery of me dium caliber guns, to enable her to fight ships of her own class.
 The earlier ships of our navy were entirely of the cruiser class, and at the present time these ships consti- ute the most numerous portion of our fleets.
 The monitors of our navy form connecting link between the early and later systems of armored warship con- struction They embody in the original design the lessons which had been learned in the naval operations of the Civil War, and, as their name implies, they are modelled after the plan Of Ericssons famous Monitor. The chief characteristics of this style of ship are moderate speed, low freeboard, mak- ing them a difficult object to hit, thick armor, and an armament of few ex- ceptionally heavy guns. Sitting low in the water, they are not suited for work on the high seas, and their sphere of operations lies within sheltered wat CTS, such as are found in our bays and harbors. This is their proper sphere of action, and to enable them to man. euver in shoal waters they have as lit tie draught as possible.
 Strictly speaking, they are floating batteries, and as such they are in- tended to cooperate with the land batteries In defense of our coasts. But though the monitor is designed especi- ally for harbor defense, it would be quite capable of taking part in a fleet action off the coast in ordinary weather.
 By far the most unique ship in our navy, and indeed, the only craft of its kind in the world, is the armored ram Katahdin. The ram as a weapon of naval warfare is one of the most an- cient of which we have any recorded history. It was used with deadly eff feet in the naval fights of Greece and Rome, and in later times, as at LiSSa and during our own Civil War, it proved a terrible engine of destruction.
 The value of the ram as attached to the huge and swiftly moving warships of modern navies has yet to be de- termined, and many authorities claim that the ship which uses the ram is liable to be only less badly strained and shaken up by the shock than her opponent.
 The Katahdin, however, was designed for the express purpose of ramming, and her hull has been constructed with a view to her being able to withstand the terrible wrench which a ship that runs it's nose at full speed into @ nov ing vessel is certain to suffer-

battle ship, as we have already shown, is essentially a fighting ma chine, and when the designer has given her sufficient structural and armored protection to enable her to take her place in the first line of battle, his next object is to arm her with as many ar nor piercing and rapid-f1re guns as the limits of her displacement will allow. Judged by this double standard, the In- diana is without a rival; for 1t Is fact which has never been disputed that she carries the heaviest armament of any ship af1oat to-day. This preponderance of power is due to the eight 8-inch guns which are carried in four turretS flank ing the two turrets of the 13-inch guns. They are an entirely novel feature in battle-ship design, and may be called the chief distinctive feature of this ship. The accepted type of battle-ship carries usually main battery of four heavy guns disposed in two turrets, fore and aft, supplemented by a broad side secondary battery of or inch guns, the first being capable of piercing armor and the latter being used against the lightly armored or unarmored DOT ttons of the enemy.
 Thus the Camperdown of the British navy, ship of the same size as the In- diana, and less effectively protected, carries four 67-ton guns of about the same power as the heavy guns of the American ship and a secondary battery of six 6-inch guns. Against this the In- diana carries in addition to her main and secondary batteries the eight & inch armor-piercing guns above men, tioned-a preponderance of power which should give her the victory in a naval duel.
 The cruisers are the light cavalry of the navy. As their name implies, their duty is to cruise the seas, keep ing in touch with the enemy's fleets and acting as the "eyes" of the line of-battle ships They are also intend ed for the double duty of attacking an enemy's commerce and defending that of the country whose flag they carry. Fleets of merchant vessels or of trans port ships will be conveyed" by cruis- CTS from port to port. Upon the cruis- CT will devolve the duty of hunting down, capturing or sinking the armed merchantmen, known as auxiliary cruisers, and the regular cruisers of the enemy, and she must be ready at any time to make a dash at her top most speed with important naval dis patches.
 For these special duties she requires to be & good seaboat with high free board adapted for Steaming at a high rate of speed in all weathers. She must be furnished with powerful en- zines, and her lines must be fair and fine; she must have a large coal sup ply, enabling her to keep to the sea for lengthy periods; she must have ample berthing space for a numerous crew, some of whom will have to be placed aboard her prizes to carry them to

battle-ship rarely displaces less than 10 900 tons, and in some foreign navles the displacement runs up to nearly 16,- 900 tons This will be understood by reference to the perspective view, where the armored portions of the snip are indicated by full lines and shading, the ordinary shell plating being dotted.
