SURPRISES THE EDWARD VII.

The Navy League Journal compares
the battleship Connecticut, now build
ing at the Navy Yard in Brooklyn with
the British Battleship King Edward
VII. recently launched at Davenport,
and which is said to be the most
powerful battlesfip England possesses,
The Edward is 425 feet long, extreme
breath rs feet, and has draught of 26A
feet. The Connecticut is 45O feet long.
extreme breadth rs 1912 feet, and a
draft of 241s feet. The Edward is of
1880 tons normal displacement, at
which she carries $50 tons of COAL and
has an estimated speed of 1875 knots.
The Connecticut is of 10000 tons normal
displacement. at which she carries 300
tons Of coal, and has a speed Of IS knots.
The full bunker capacity is 1900 tons.
The Edward has $4,000 indicated
horsepower, and the Connecticut has
1880. The armament of the Edward
consists of four 12-inch guns, four 81
inch guns, ten 6-inch guns, and twenty
sour guns of smaller calibre, total of
forty-two guns of all kinds. The arma-
ment of the Connecticut is four 12-inch
breech-loading rifles, eight S-inch
breech- loading rifles, twelve finch
hreech-loading rifles. twenty 3-inch IA
FOUNDER rapid-fire guns, twelve s.
FOUNDER semi-automatic guns, six l.
FOUNDER automatic guns, two 1-pounder
semi-aut0matic guns, two S-inch field
pieces, two machine guns, calibre 80,
and six automatic guns, calibre 80 a
total of seventy four guns.
If the chief merit of a battleship is in
the weight and rapidly of its gunfire
and it's speed. then the Connecticut, Is
the more powerful fighting machine.
The Edward, which was built in the
British Navy yards is stated to have
cost s7.500,0O0. including armor and
armament, while the limit Of cost Of the
Connecticut. exclusive of armor and
armament, is s4,2lO,000 and the con-
tract price Of her sister ship the
Louisiana. building at Newport News,
is something under this amount.
1t would therefore appear that we can
build a warship by private contract
in this country as cheap or cheaper than
they can be built in the British navy
yard as the cost of armor and arma-
ment of the Louisiana added to the con-
tract price will not make the total
amount S7,50o.OoO.
The Edward is probably the highest
type of British battleship, as the Con-
necticut and Louisiana are of ours.

two houses, Grand and Hyperion, give their

PLANCHETTE IN CHINA.
A Missionary's Strange Stories Of De-
mOnoIogy.
London Mail.


Mrs. Montagu BeauchaInp. who. for many
years, has been engaged in missionary
work in China, gave an account, yesterday,
at the Conference Hall. Eccleston street.
5. W., of how planchette, the latest Lon
don craze, has, from time immemorial. been
one OF the recognized means I'm China OF
communicating with evil spirits.
She had lived, she said, in the particular
province known as ''Demonland." where the
native idolatry was bound up with spiritu-
alism. She had found there was a real pow
er in this idolatry and necromancy, and had
known cases OF healing worked by those
natives who professed to cast out evil
spirits. She was convinced that they did. in
reality, cast out the spirits, but there"
she said, you stand face 10 face with the
unveiled powers OF hell"
She went on to give instances of exorcism
by both Christians and Chinese. The Chi
nese had for a long time obtained COM
munication with bad spirits by the use OF
mediums and Of planchettes. The latter
were formed from a sieve with a pencil at
tached to one side. Two persons placed
would then write messages. She had her
self known of one instance In which a
great flood was accurately foretold by a
planchette message. Again. the Boxer ris-
ing was prophesied by a planchette; she be-
lieved the murderous Boxers were all pos
sessed by devils
Her opinion about the planchette was
that IL only worked intelligibly with those
who yielded to its influence, and that Its In
fuence increased with repeated use. With
those who did not yield the planchette re-
fused to work, and the result was merely
an unintelligible scribbling.
