The Opelousas courier., 1904-04-30

launched at Nice In the same year. The
Santa Annals leaden armor plates were
attached to her sides by bolts of brass,
and it was claimed for her that she
could "resist the artillery of a whole
army and at the same time could
sail or row as fast as any of her I'M
armored contemporaries. She was.a
big ship, with six decks, a reception
saloon, a chapel, a specially construct
ed powder magazine, and a bakery.
She was present at the taking of Tunis
in 1885, and played an important part
in its capture.
Lead, it may be remarked in passing,
was not infrequently used at this Pc
riod for sheathing ships under water,
in the same way that copper is still
found so useful. Thus, the French
ship Grande-Francoise. launched in
1927, one of the largest and most ia
nous ships of her day, was sheathed
with lead from her keel to the first
vale above her waterline.
According to a short paragraph in
Hayden's Dictionary of Dates. "chain
netting of iron was suspended to the
sides of men-of-war, which We're also
strengthened by plates in the time OF
Henry VIII. and Elizabeth" No au-
thority is quoted, o is the material
of the plates specified.
The Spaniards attempted to protect
The Opelousas courier., 1904-04-30

their galleons of the ~Invincible Arma-
da by building their sides four or five
feet thick. but the heavy English g1E1s
dashed them through and through"
But now at last we arrive at a real ar
mored ship in the present day accept
ance of the word. Not only an armor
clad, but a real ironclad. This vas
constructed in Antwerp in 1885, with
a view of breaking through the lines
of the Spanish army under Alexander
Of Parma, which was at that time
closely investing the city. 1t was a
large iat-bottomed craft, with a cen
trail casemate or battery built of thick
balks Of timber and plated with iron.
1t was intended to be, and very likely
was, impenetrable to any artillery that
the Spaniards could bring against it;
and in hopeful anticipation that their
ironclad ship would raise the siege
and put an end to hostilities. the men
of Antwerp cLristened her the FINS
Eelli. In addition to a heavy battery
of guns. the Finis Belli carried a large
body of musketeers, some Of whom
were stationed aloft in her four fight
ing tops, while the rest were we'll pro-
tected by the loopholed bulwarks on
the upper deck. Unluckily for the be-
sieged Dutchmcn, she ran aground be-
fore she had effected anything at all,
and fell into the hands of the Span
iards. who nicknamed her the Caran-
jamula. OF as we would say, DOGGY"
They contriyed to keep her afioat and
brought her down to the camp of Alex
ander of Parma, where she became a
great attraction to the sightseers of
the period. AS for the Dutchmen in
the doomed city. they henceforward
only referred to their fruitless expert
ment as the "Perditae Expensae," or
Wasted Money" Ten years previous
to this. others Of the Dutch patriots
had built a somewhat similar contriv-
ance, which very possibly was also ar
mored. This was the ARK of Delft"

The Face and the Soul.

The best way to keep the lines out
of your face is to keep the wrinkles
out of your SOUL" declares H. L. Pin
err. in Builders of the Beautiful" a
volume exploiting the correspondence
Of physical form and spiritual nature.
You cannot exalt your countenance
while your impulses smite down your
finer sensibilities and shatter the ideals
that urge you on to primal graces. In
spite of all surreptitious a~ttitudiniz-
ing, your face is the waxen cast Of
your soul.
The %energizing forces that move
from the life centres through brain
and ganglia and along the highway of
the nerves mold the features into I'M
varying opponents Of themselves. All
the forces Of evil within you are de-
structive Of beauty. All the forces Of
good within you are constructive Of
beauty.
Everywhere spirit demands it's W
livery, Nature rises up to rebuke
and expose the imposter who would
parade external forms out of corre-
spondence with the real character. The
body cannot be silk while the soul is
buckram. You cannot wear an ex-
preston higher than that vouchsafed
by the spiritual condition or ideal ON
which your aspirations enduringly

English put out of action"
This system of armoring was, how
ever, soon adopted by the French, as
in Lescallier's "Vocabulaire DIES
Termes de Marine Anglois ct Fran
co.'s" published in 1777, we find the
following:
"'Blinder I'm vaisseau,' to owe the
ships side with Tenders Of old cables
to preserve her from an enemy's shot,
when employed to defend a harbor,
etc"
The Spaniards ~endeavored to i'm
prove on this, and in 1882 hoped great
teries employed at the great siege of
Gibraltar by the Duke de Crillon.
The fate Of these experimental ar
morclads offered no inducement to the
naval constructors of the day to make
further researches in the direction Of
protection, so that till comparatively
recent times we find our sailors de-
pending only on their wooden walls
to resist the projectiles Of the enemy.
In the fight between the Citation.
ffty-siN-gun ship, and four French fri
gates, a brig, and a cutter, mounting
220 guns between them, theira twelve
and t~wenty-four Founders failed to
penetrate her sides, and she Deat them
all off with great loss at the cost of
one officer and one man wounded.
But the Americans, from the very
commencement of their existence as
Il nation, set themselves to make i'm
provements in naval warfare. David
Bushnell constructed a practical sub
marine boat in 1918. Torpedoes were
used by him and others in the war
with this country, and for the purpose
of towing these co%ntrivances alongside
our ships, they invented and built, in
1914, a paddle-propelled turtle-backed
boat lying low in the water and COW
cred with "half-inch iron plates, not
to be injured by shot"
About the same period the celebrated
inventor, Robert Fulton, who had al
ready constructed n or two submar-
The Opelousas courier., 1904-04-30

inc boats and various classes of tor
pedoes, built a steam frigate which he
called the Demologos," OIL Voice of
the People, but which is sometimes
known as the Fulton |. This, tn" first
steam warship ever constructed, had
her sides no less than thirteen feet
thick of alternate layers of oak and
ash wood, a thickness absolutely i'm.
penetrable by any gun then afioat. In
1929 this vessel was blown up by ac.
cident, and was succeeded in the
American Navy by the Fulton Ii, a
ship which appears to have been pro-
tected by some kind of iron armor.
Various proposals were made to use
iron plating to protectthe sides of ships
of war from this time forward, but
until the French constructed a mum
Der of armor-plated batteries for use
in the Crimean War, nothing practical
came of the suggestions of inventors
Their success at the bo~mbardment OF

armor plating. England at once fol

We are pleased to learn that there

before sending it against Charles Of
Anjou.
These, by the way, were not the first
"leatherclads." We have already seen
that leather, probably in the form of
rawhides, formed a portion of the ar

Tyre, In 1887, either invented or at all
events caused a special elias. Of leath-

They would now probably be called
"turtlebacks." They would appear to

through portfolios or openings in which
the archers and crossboWmen could
fire without exposing themselves. They
proved very effective against the Sar-

Felt made an early appearance as a de-
fensiye armor IN shipbcard, as we
find that in q sea fight off Palermo in
1911 between the Normans and Sara
Gems, the former hung their galleys
with this material by way Of a de-
fensive cuirass. The Norman knights
had probably adopted this device from
their enemies, for felt had been used
for some time for this purpose on board
the huge "dromons'' of the Saracens.

sail trimmers, and artificers who
worked the war engines and siphons
for Greek fire are added, it is evident
that the crew must have been very
large, and have required a ship of
considerable dimensions. These great
w%arships were armored with wooden
cloth soaked in vinegar to render it
f%ireproof, and hung with mantlets of
red and yellow felt, SO that their cut
rass was not only useful, but orna-
mental as well. AT this period, and for
many hundreds of years later, addi-
tional protection was afforded to those
on deck by the ranging of the bucklers
and shields of the warriors on board
along the gunwales. Later, in the fif-
teenth and sixteenth centuries, special
'~pavesades," or bulwarks, were pro-
vided in lieu, composed of large OBJ
long shields supplied for the purpose.
In addition to felt, the time-honored
leather armor also entered into the de-
fensiye panoply of the "dromons."
