recently designed armored ships are to
be so calibers long.
A second fact to know about guns
is that perforation data are theoretical.
Formulas are used, and while the de-
ductions therefrom are undoubtedly
sufficiently exact to be used as bases
of comparison, it by no means follows
that practical demonstrations will bear
out the accuracy of the figures.
1t becomes necessary at this point, if
we would know whether the intentions
of congress are to be realized, to ascer-
tain the armaments which foreign ma
tions are emplacing in their 16,000-ton
battleships, for with this information
and our tables of guns we can come
to a pretty accurate estimate of our
standing.
First we look to England. Here we
see eight battleships of 16,300 tons each
laid down in 1902-03 and two Of 16.5o0
tons each laid down in 1904. These last
two, the Lord Nelson and the Agamem-
non, are trife larger-5OO tons-than
Dur New Hampshire. None the less
they are so splendidly supplied with
gun power that particular attention is
called to their armament, especially
since our ships ought to be able to
fight them. They mount four 12-inch
45-caliber guns and ten 9.2-inch 50-cah-
ber guns. Separately and collectively.
the ordnance of these ships has a greater
fighting power than that of any other
in the world.
The eight other English battleships
of 16,9O0 tons each can be mated with
ours of 10000 tons, for our ships will
run over the authorized 10000 tons
quite as surely as the English ships
overran their originally intended 10000
tons.
The question of the speed of a battle
ship merits attention, but word only
can be ventured here about 1t. Speed
stands for the old-time weather gauge.
This means that the fastest ship can
choose her position for lighting and
that the faster fleet can blank the
slower.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-04

of moulds, but the action of the Grim
inal life has worn both down to a dead
level of sameness.
"Now the criminal head is one of two
extremes. either very large or very
small, scarcely ever normal. In the
same way with his whole appearance
Individually he belongs to one or the
other Of two extreme types; his neck is
either very short and thick or very long
and thin; his forehead very low, narrow
and receding- or very square and pro-
truding; his lips very thin and COM
pressed or very thick and fabby; his
hands very small and delicate or very
large and coarse; his nose very high
and narrow or very squat and broad;
his eyes very small, sunk and beady or
very aggressive and staring. OF either
class all the members are extraor-
dinarily alike, while in both classes one
finds something which is not exactly
the expression, is not a defnable char
acteristic, but rather general air or
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-04

The commander stated further that,
notwithstanding the great improve
ment in recent years in the efficiency
of ordnance, the guns of six inches
and seven inches cannot perform
useful service, for tougher armor
has to be penetrated today than
was carried ten years ago. The Danish
officer, therefore, regards the English
naval 9.2-inch gun as an ideal weapon,
and thinks in all likelihood that ten
inch gun will be adopted before long.
This opinion of an expert expressed
less than a year ago, met with much
approval, but already, in the light of
recent developments in the far east,
change of guns of heavier caliber is
seen to be desirable, even necessary if
battleships are to be able to do their
very best work, and, therefore, in the
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-04

appearance which at once marks out
the convict as not as other men are.
The expression in the one order may
be servile and cringing, in the other
bold and aggressive; the characteristic
OF the one may be brutality and of the
other cowardice, but in both and in
every member of both is the same for
bidding aspect which causes the child
to cry or the dog to snarl at the sight
of the lawbreaker. while the grown
man, his finer susceptibilities and in
stincts blunted by the stress of life
among his fellow men, feels a sense of
distrust and repulsion.
"Al kinds of crime may be divided
into two orders-the crime of brutality
and the crime of meanness, the offense
against the person and the offense
against property; the murder and as
sault on the one hand the theft and
swinde ON the other, Hence 1t is that
the face of the criminal, his express
sion, his whole bearing, denote either

or, as they are officially designated, sea-
going battleships, of $4,000 tons each.
These two vessels, the first of this type
to be designed in this country, are the
Connecticut and the Louisiana, both
launched last year, and, according 10
contract agreement, both to be ready
next year. Previous experience in the
speed of building American warshi2s
justfies the belief that 1907 at the
earliest will be the year when they will
be commissioned.
The next year. 1908, congress author
lied the building of three more sea-
going battleships of 10000 TONS each
the Kansas, the Vermont and the Min
nesota. These ships are also in hand.
In 1904 congress authorized the con-
struction of another seagoing battle
ship of $1,000 tons, the New Hampshire.
Finally this year two more 10000 tot-
ners were appropriated for, but eX-
cepting that one is to be named South
Carolina and the other Michigan moth
ing conclusive has been reached con-
cerning them. Our latest exponent OF
the type remains, therefore, the New
Hampshire. Her designs are completed
and the contract to build her has been
awarded.
The New Hampshire will have her

an armor belt nine feet wide for 985
feet, amldships, abreast of the engines.
This belt will be nine inches thicK
thence, both forward and aft, the

of or 75-inch guns. And the further
plan has been suggested, which Will
probably in future be adopted, of elm
mating even the 9.2-inch guns and sub
stituting 12-inch guns. Thus the COM
ing battleship will have none but one
caliber, 12-inch, in her main battery.
OF course there will be an auxiliary
battery composed of thirty or forty
guns of 3-inch and smaller pieces of
artillery to stand off torpedo attacks.
Japan-Russian Engagements
In the Japan Russia war nearly all
the naval fighting has been conducted
at extremely long range. 1t is ques-
tionable whether ship has engaged ship

corners of the upper casemate, each
turret carrying pair of S-inch guns.
These turrets will be of 61A-inch armor
and the barbettes will be six inches
thick in front and four inches in the
rear.
This arrangement of the armor of
the New Hampshire is somewhat diff
ferent from the disposal of the protec-
tion provided for the Connecticut and
her sister ships, and doubtless in the
new ships just authorized something
still different will be thought advisable,

evidence that Great Britain has already
emplaced 92-inch gHns in ships afloat.
The English ships on which there are
9.2-nch guns were laid down in 1902;
our battleships were laid down subse-
quently. The query suggests itself,
Why are we content with S-inch rather
than 9.2-inch gums, and why have 4
inch guns at ALA
Some of the legends pertaining to
guns, taken mainly from data. published
by a noted English manufacturer of
ordnance, are here given in order to
show the relative values of different
calibers.
There are some noteworthy facts to
be borne in mind in estimating the i'm
portance of guns. The first of these
is the length of the bore of the gun; the
longer the gun, the heavier the charge
of powder which may be used there

battleships no laynan can determine

latest plans of the most recently de-
signed battleships the world over he
will see no two that will appear to him
to be precisely similar as regards the
distribution and thickness of the armor

When, however, we come to what
seems to be the most important fea
ture of a battleship, the armament We
are, we think, on surer ground, for OF
guns we know something more than we
enough perhaps to be dangerous, leads
us to doubt whether our 16,0O0-ton bat
tleship will carry the "most powerful
armament for a vessel of it's class"
Comparison of gun power alone is as
many authorities have pointed out, mis-
leading. Nevertheless, it is mainly in
gun power that we find superiority
among battleships of the same size and
substantially alike in other charac-
teristics
In regard to this matter of arma-
mcnt, soI-ething was said at the meet
ing of the Society of Naval Archi-
tects held last year in New York by
Commander Hoogaard of the Danish

MANS BODY FOUND THIS MORN

Driven to the verge Of insanity by
long suffering from tuberculosis, Ihom
as zembo shot himself thru the heart
some time last night, in his room at
2110 Second street N.
Altho there were seven or eight per-
sons in the house all night, all declare
they did not hear the shot fired. Zem-
bo's dead body was found on the floor
when his friends went to call him this
morning, and few feet from him lay
a. revolver. One chamber was empty.
The man had evidently risen from his
bed in the night and taken his life,
as the bed had been used and he was
dressed in his night clothes.
Coroner Kistler, after deciding that
death was due to suicide, ordered the
body taken to the county morgue.
Zembo and all other dodgers at the
place were Poles, and, after their usual
manner, refused to talk about the mat,
ter and claimed to know nothing OF
the English language. There. was nc
evidence, however, Of any foul play.
The suicide was "a years old and
unmarried. He was a common laborel
until few months ago, when he was
forced to- quit work and live on the
charity Of his friends.
