From the Daily News of London.
A spectacle is being prepared for the
forthcoming Earl's Court Exhibition
which will show to the British public all
the pomp and circumstance of war as it
is fought al sea. Something Of the same
sort on a very small scale was done at
the Naval Exhibition some years ago.
Then two miniature battleships, each with
a man inside it, used 10 bang at each
other daily on a small pond In the grounds.
And a prettier or more popular sight was
not TO be seen in London.
But this new spectacle is on a much
finer and larger scale, and will be really
remarkable in its Liliputian way. Half
the floor of the great theater has been
converted into a sea. with city of Moor

far away into the dim distance. But por-
tions Of this picturesque city, whose
houses, churches, and public buildings
cover the gentle slopes of a hill, are very
real. on either side of il is a grim round
