is an armored deck which is IL inches in
thickness. From the top of the 3-inch belt
up TO the level of the main deck there is
no armor protection, except around the
ammunition hoists leading to the 12-inch
guns. The secondary battery, which is
located within the superstructure amid
ship, Is protected by inches of armor,
while the Pinch guns are protected with
in turrets of 1524-inch armor. The obvious
ly weak point in the armor plan is the
unprotected space between the main deck
and the armored deck, for 1t would be pos
slble for an enemy to send high-eXploSive
shells through the sides of the vessel and
explode them Immediately beneath the guns
of the secondard battery.
The Pinch guns which weigh 46 tons
apiece, are of modern and powerful type
although they are not equal to the new
40-caliber Pinch guns now building for the
United States navy. They fire a 644-pound
proJectile with muzZle velocity of 9, ,625
foot-seconds, and a muZZle energy of 3d.
100 foot-tons, the muzzle penetration being
31.3 inches Of iron. The secondary battery
of the Gaulois consists of ten 55-inch
rapid-fire guns which are contained, five
of them within the central citadel on the
main deck, and five of them behind shields
which are mounted in broadside in the
open on the superStructure deck. They
fire 66-pound projectie with a velocity
of 2,623 foot-Seconds, and an energy of
3 100 foot-tons. The comparative lightness
of the secondary battery of the Gaulois is
somewhat compensated for by a battery of
eight 4-inch rapid-fire guns, which is car
ried on the bridges and superstructure
at a height of 80 to 40 feet above the
water line There also sixteen 3.pound-
ers. ten 1-nounders and eight machine erns
The Gaulo1S is driven by engines of 1850
indicated horse power, which gave her on
her official trial a speed of ISL knots per
hour. She can carry maximum coal sup
ply of LOO tons and she has a complement
of officers and men of 631. She has four
torpedo-tubes discharges, of which two are
submerged.

Birth of the Cicada.
k Leslie's Popular MONTHLY.

From Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.
Even when warm weather comes again
and other cicadas sing gaily from their
trees. the subterranean exile remains with
in the ground daily growing larger and
stronger, until second winter has come
and gone. Then strange restlessness pos
sesses him. and burrowing steadily upward.
he at last emerges from his long retirement
on some warm. moist August morning. A
rough, horny, earth-colored creature he is,
with strong hooked feet and bulky body.
Clumsy is he also, and, staggering along,
he gropes blindly about for some perpen-
dicular object up which he laboriously be-
gins to climb. Presently a slight culver
shakes his form and little crack opens
a-down his back. 1t seems almost as If his
unwonted exertions had actually burst his
horny SHE'LL as the gaping wound reveals
a mass of damp material within. Slowly
the split widens and a broad and massive
head, equipped with two great, shining
eyes, pushes upward through the opening.
and we realize that the birth of a cicada is
taking place.

Use Of Chloroform.
From the London Daily News.

The candid confession Of certain profes-
sors Of the Paris Surgical Society. on the
subject Of anesthetics has caused g tutter
of excitement. The discussion which began
with the use OF cocaine, which has now
lost favor. has led to the publication in
medical papers of the number Of deaths
and mishaps arising from chloroform. The
total of fatal cases amounts to 26, but this
does not include incidents full of peril and
anguish. No statistics are given Of the
experience of Paris dentists to the use of
either specific. One medical celebrity af-
firms that nothing would induce him to al
low member of his family to pass through
either the cocaine or chloroform ordeal.

essential both for them and the public,
that they should have frequent and close
attention.
If the department is to have a salutary
effect on the conduct of these various
financial concerns it can only be done by
close, intimate and constant contact and
familiarity with each separate institu-
ton.
The public institutions have had no at
tention for the past year, and although
the law creating the board of control
somewhat Simplif1eS and cOndenSes these
accounts, yet the law makes it incun-
bent upon the public examiner to give
them attention. and in view OF the fact
that its system of accounts is new and
in a measure crude and to us untried,
proper time for the department to as
certain the efficiency of the system.
But few of the eighty-tWo counties
have received the attention required and
contemplated by law. A new system Of
bookkeeping for the auditors and treas
urers was successfully introduced, but as
to detailed examinations comparatively
few have been made. A uniform and
efficient system for the regulation of re-
ceiDts and vouchers between the various
county offices must have immediate at
tention, and almost none of the county
officers outside of the auditors and
treaSurer's have had any attention what
ever, and yet wherever they have been
given attention conditions have been de-
veloped which make 1t apparent that at
tention should be given them as required
by law.

The striker in question is one that used
to occupy the tower of the old market

$1,000. Up to three years ago it gave
public notice of all fires, but when the
building was converted into library ar

accommodated the 1,S00-pound weight,
and it had to be temporarily abandoned.
AT a previous meeting of the fire board
it was decided to again start the striker
in operation, but an official reported to
the board last night that the library di-
rectors had sold the weight and striker
to junk dealer something like $50 be-
