Chamberlain down before he could use

Chamberlain was accordingly treated
as prisoner and was taken to the In

the Indians kept a watchful eye on
him, and he knew he was captive. He
learned, however, to like the Indian

fit of homesickness he decided to gc

depart. Chamberlain had won the

ENGLAND'S FIRST SHIP.
Great Harry Was the Country's Pre-
mier Fighting Machine.

OF the first ship, properly speaking,
of the British navy, known as the
Great Harry, the following particu-
lars are given in an old number of the
Mechanics Magazine, dated Oct. %,
1923:
The Great Harry was built by King
Henry VII at n cost of $4,000, and
was burned at Woolwich, through acci-
dent, in 1853
Though King Henry, as well as
other princes, hired many ships, ex-
elusive of those which the different
seaports were obliged to furnish, he
seems thus to have been the first king
who thought of avoiding this incon-
venience by raising such force as
might be at all times sufficient for the
service of the state. Historian. tell us
that he caused his navy, which had
been neglected in the preceding reign.
to be put In a condition to protect the
British COASTS against all foreign inva-
sions, and that in the midst of pro-
found peace he always kept upra fleet
ready to act.
In August, 1912, the Regent, a ship
of 1000 tons, which was at that time
the largest vessel in the British navy,
was burned, and to replace it the
Great Harry, or, as it was also known,
the Henry Grace de Dieu, was built In
1916.
The vessel, of about 1000 tons bur-
den, was manned by $40 soldiers, 301
marines and 80 gunners. She had four
masts and portfolios on both decks and
In other parts.
Before the time of ner construction
the cannon were placed above deck
and on the prov and poop. One De-
charges, q French builder at Brest, Is
said to have invented portfolios.
In a list of the British navy, as 1t
stood on Jan. 5, 1548 the Great Harry
is said to have carried 10 brass and 103
iron pieces of ordnance.
The name of the ship is supposed to
have been changed in the reign of Ed
ward VI to Edward, which, on Aug.
20, 1862, was reported to be still "in
good case to serve" and was ordered
ito be grounded and calked once a
year to keep it ht."-Cassier's Maya

roaming in the mountains she met, by
chance, a young college student, Fred
Galloway, who had been given a year

to plan for another. IN ten years his
plans had so far matured that drill
classes were meeting nightly In Dub
lin and vicinity, and young Irishmep
INDUCED high hopes of freeing their
native land.
What the Irish patriots needed,
though, was skilled military leaders.
These they had not but the civil war
In the United States furnished a school
for Irishmen on this side of the Allan
tic In which to learn the art of war and
the skill to command, which they hoped
to be able to practice in Ireland when
the civil war was over Under Ste
phens' direction active enlistment In
the various Fenian societies was un-
dertaken in 1864, and secret drillings
were carried on all over the island.
This activity had been preceded the
year before by convention In the
United States, at which Stephens was
proclaimed the practical head of the
Irish nation, or, as he was called by
the Fenians, the central organizer Of
the Irish republic. John O'Mahoney
was chosen head center for the United
States.
With the close of the Civil War many
Irishmen who had won fame In the
Union army on Southern battlefields re-
turned to Ireland, having been led to
believe through Stephens representa-
ton that good-sized army of Irish
patriots had already been organized
and equipped, and was only waiting
for competent commanders. When 1t
was urged upon him that the time for
action had arrived, Stephens insisted
cused of being a braggart, of being
vain and altogether incompetent.
What might have happened had the
revolution actually begun no one can
state. The fact is that the British gov
ernment got wind of Stephens plans,
found him in Fairfield House, Sandy
mount, suburb of Dublin, through the
skill of the famous detective, Dawson,
and on the morning of Saturday, Nov.
II, 1865, the agitator was arrested and
lodged in Richmond Rridewell prison.
Three days later he was arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Stronge.
He was remanded for examination,
but before he could be brought into
court again he had escaped from prison,
chiefly through the efforts of Capt.
John Kerwin, who is now In New York.
Stephens made his way to France and
thence to the United States. He was
received with great honor in New York
by the Fenian brotherhood. In 1891 he
was unofficially informed that If he
would give up all further Fenian agi'
tation he might return to Ireland. He
accepted the offer and the closing days
Of his life were spent In retirement In

BILLIARD CUES.


nishes the Best.
"Most billiard cues" said New York
manufacturer the other day, "are made
In two pieces-the cue proper and the
handle. The cue is made generally of
maple, and the butt, which is wedge
shaped, is inserted into handle OF
rosewood, snakewood, ebony, mahog-
any, walnut or some other fancy dark
wood, which is cut to doyetail with the
long part
"The maple wood used In making the
handles is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called bolts.
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape of the handle to be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
die blocks. The handle block Is turned
to the shape of the handle in lathe,
and when the butt has been fitted 1t is
finished and polished.
"The finest and best cues are fitted
to the handle or butt by means of a
double wedge. At the top of the cue Is
ferrule of ivory, of horn or bone, In
which the leather tip is fitted. While
the ivory ferrule is the most expensive,
of course it is less durable than the
horn or bone ferrules, which are less
liable to crack. The extra workman
ship on cues Is put in on the butts,
some of which are elaborately inlaid
and carved In beautiful patterns
''There are a number of billiard play
ers who will not permit another person
to use their cues, and for the use of
these particular players cues are turn
ed out from which the tips may be un.
screwed leaving the cue with unfinish-
ed points and useless.
American billiard cues are the light
