THE KENTUCKY.

Few ships in the United States navy
have caused more discussion and given
rise to more comment than the Ken
lucky, which is one Of the pair of sea-
going battleships built by the Newport
News Shipbuilding company. The ships,
for a description If one is a description
of the other, are in q class by themselves,
not SO much by reason Of weight OF ARM
alnent or Of size, but because they have
what are commonly called double
decked' tuirets. These %turTets, the
lower carrying two 13-inch rides each,
and the upper two S-inch rifles each, are
the striking features of their construc-
tion. and distinguish them from every
other war vessel afloat. Lieutenant
Joseph Strauss, then an ensign, is cred
itcd With being the originator Of the su-
perp0sed turrent plan, and when it was
brought to the attention of the authori-
ties by some of his superior officers there
arose a storm of discussion which stirred
the nav department to it's depths.
The argument was long and warm, n
when at last the construction board de-
cided to build the ships with the double
turrets there were many who predicted
dire and dismal failure. But the ships
We're built. and those laymen who have
seen the Kentucky are not slow in as
serting that she is a remarkably power
full vessel. The theory that the fire of
w Ia GtIiNt WV IIiiNo gu ~ Z Nlil-
centrated On one spot from what is
practically one turret and work a cor
respondingly increased destruction over
the old style of u training has not been
tested in war, and naval officers are not
yet all of one mind regarding it's sound
ness. One of the ideas advanced in OBJ
lection to the plan was that it would
make the ship so topheavy that she
would be unsafe, owing to the heavy
weight of metal carried SO far above the
water line. Another was that a well di-
rected shot from an enemy might strike
and explode in such q manner as to put
both turrets out of action, and SO cripple
the ship. One of the difficulties found in
actual use is that owing to the imper-
fections of the turret moving machinery
it is much more easy to start the pom
derous mass of metal on its journey
around the circle than it is to stop it.
This, however, is being remedied, and
will soon cease to be a factor in the
problem.

constructed and is secured from the gaze
of the curious by massive and handsome
oaken doors, on which is a brass plate in
scribed With the names of David II,
James II and Queen Mary of Gueldres,
Arthur, third son of James ", James V,
his queen, Maudlyn. and son, Arthur,
Duke of Albany. and Henry, Lord Darn
ley 1t is added that these mortal
remains of her Stuart ancestors We're
reverently collected and entombed by
Queen Victoria, A. D.. 1899"
This historic tomb was constructed by
James V for the funeral of his young
queen, Magdalen of France, which took
place a few months after her MARRIAGE.
July 10. 1887. James himself died at
Falkland, and his remains We're brought
to Hollywood in 1542. The Duke of Albany
was the infant brother of Mary Queen Of
Scots and their mother was buried at
Rheims. The remains of Mary were pri-
marily buried at Pe~tersborough and were
afterwards removed to the Abbey. -
The next inter1nent in the Holyrood
tomb was that of the murdered Lord
Darnley. in 1867, after which the vault
was not opened until it was sacked by
the C~ovenanters, in 1858. AT that time
the bones of the nnat We're scattered
about the floor and there they remain
ed for nearly one hundred years when
they We're placed upon the shelves and
the doors We're once more securely fas-

allowed to rest in pace.
During the thirty years in which the
vault was in actual use the remain
of several p~ersonages We're collected and
brought to Holyrood from other places.
There the remains of Davi II. CBruce),
and those of James IT,, who was killed
by the accidental bursting of a cannon at
Roxburghe. in 1860, and of Arthur Stuart,
the infant son Of James w, who died in
1910. Mary of Gueldres. whose remains
still occupy the only casket in the tomb,
was originally buried in Trinity church,
Edinburgh, November rs, 1863. When
that church was destroyed in order 70

way in 1S4S, her coffin was removed TO
Hollywood, that being considered the most
appropriate place for her relnains to rest.

provide appropriate monuments Tor all
Of the stuaits rulers whose graves have

spite Of the existence Of the family tomb
the remains Of these kings are widely

London. Dec. 1.-While the reign of
Queen Victoria has been conspicuous Cor
many years, no action that she has taken
has attracted more attention than The
manner in which she has provided for
the proper preservation of the rp=al dead.
Those who are acquainted With the son
timents of the queen state That Sile has
always held the emo of her prede-
cessors in the greatest esteem. !ie" re-
spect for her early ancestors is Il senti-
ment that she early irsti.'ea in the
hearts of her children, and 1T is not at
all strange that she should uevote 4 por-
ton of the closing years of her lie in
perfecting plans for the future care Of
the royal relics that have been so much
in her thought since her earliest child
hood.
For several weeks past the under
ground mausoleum that was so care
fully constructed among the
lions of Windsor Castle by George Ill.
has been a scene of life and hustle. Ever
since it was built this resting place OF
the royal dead has been one of me most
unattractive toinbs in the co,1 ttry. 1t
was a massive cavern, so lamp and
gloomy as to send a chill to the very
marrow of the bones of every person
who was compelled to enter t. To the
queen this fact was a matter Of deep
regret and shs has long been considering
plans for the improvement of this tomb
of royal ~personages.
In this royal sepulchre We're to be seen

when the effect was most weird and
CHASTITY. From one end of the apart
ment to the other ran long ~octagonal
pillars, by which the vaulted roof was
supported. Down the center there was
a long stone table and along the sides
were some low shelves upon which rested
some strange. dark objects that looked
like anything but what they really We're
the Baskets in which reposed the re-
Mains of those who nad helped to make
Great Britain one of the greatest nations
of the world. Above each casket was an
inscription that time had made so in
distinct that it was with difficulty de-
ciphered. 1t was Il place that was damp,
cold, echoless. depressing. 1t is not
strange that it was Studiously avoided.
About a year ago the queen paid a
visit to the tomb and the result Of her
investigation may now be seen by the
fortunate persons who are privileged to
enter the historic vault. Now everything
is changed. A system of ventilation has
ben devised, so that the dampness has
been transformed into a beautiful spot,
which one might visit without suffering
the slightest depressing effect. The
stone tables that took up so much OF the
space have been removed and the Baskets
have been placed upon carved shelves
that extend from one end of the sepul-
chre to the other on both sides. At one
end of the tomb a most artistic marble
