of misery to the human race, but in the
majority Of cases the person does not sus-

Indigestion, weak stomach and palpita

The New Armorcd Cruisers

The Secretary Of the Navy recently ar-
ceptcd the report of the majority Of the
Board on Construction, and has prepared
the specifications for the new cruisers
authorized by Congress at it, last session.
The vessels are to be- built therefore, on
the lines proposed by Rear Admirals
ONEIL, BRADFORD and BowLEs, and
Capt. CHADWICK.
The question over which the board
divided, with Admiral MELVILLE in n
minority OF one. concerned the relative
weights TO be allowed to armor and to
machinery. The majority thought g. 900
horse power enough to produce % knots
speed, while Admiral MELVILLE, chief
engineer of the navy, desired to install
engine Of 5000 horse power, to allow
of greater margin between the horse
power shown on the trial trip and that
necessary 10 produce the required speed
AS his engines weighed more than those
planned for lower horse power, and as
the size of the vessels was limited by
Congress to II, 800 tons, the question
was, Shall the ships have heavier armor
or larger engines? The answer is in
favor Of the armor. though the majority
of the board believes that even with
only $4,000 horse power the vessels will
make % knots speed. The difference in
weight at issue amounted To 40 tons.
The general dimensions Of the two
cruisers, 10 which the names Tennessee
Na al.
given. are rs follows: Length on load
waterline, 5ol feet; extreme breadth
at load vaterlne, 73 feet 1919 inches
mean draft on trial displacement, rs
feet; gross draft, loaded, 27'. feet
bunker apacity, 2,0O0to The trial dis
placement is to bSnot more than "a 500
tons, and the speed is TO be at least 22
knots m hour The steaming radius, at
10 knots, will be $500 knots.
For offensive purposes the ships will
carry four l0-inch rifles in turrets and
sixteen G.inch rifles in armored case
mates and in broads ide as their main
batteries; and as secondary batteries
twenty-five 3-inch rapid-fire guns, twelve
S-pounders, two lpDund automatic
guns, two l-pound rapid-frc guns, two
