BRITAIN'S BATTLESHIPS.
Each New Man-of-War Seems to Sur
 pass Its Predecessors.

Each battlesLip that is launched seems to surpass her predecessors in offensive and defensive equipment. The Goliath, when fitted with full armament, will De able to project shot at the rate of seven tons per minute. The Infexible was a marvel in her day, and the tremendous shells she threw into the forts of Alexandria were quite sufficient to account for the demorali- zations of the Egyptian gunners. But she is antiquated in comparison with the Goliath, whose citadel is to all intents and purposes impenetrable, and whose heaviest projectiles weigh $50 pounds.
 Perhaps still more important than these belching monsters are the quick firers, which, as shown in the Chino Japanese war, may be the more de- cisive agents in an engagement Whether mobility and general effi ciency are not being sacrificed to mere brute force only experience will dem- onstrate, and no one wishes for an en- gagement that would provide cru- cial test.
 It Is of historic interest that the modern ironclad, with it's turrets and massive plates, lad ifs root idea in the famous monitors first designed for the United States government by Ericsson, who sought to combine in- vulnerability with very heavy ord nance. The earliest monitors had decks almost level with the water. re- volvingturrets and cannon that threw round shot of 150 pounds and upward In weight. But even under favorable conditions they could fire only one round in three minutes; and although that measure of offensive capacity was capable of destroying any other contemporary man-of-war it would be no account at the present day. Fries son, however, gave the cue to naval designers all over the world, and his elementary principle has only been developed and modified during the years thst have elapsed-Invention
