brought phylloxera there. IL spread all over

ease; French vines could not. The loss TO the

The Big Battleship.

The report comes from Washington
that the Bureau of Construction of the
Navy Department is working on the
plans of a battleship which will be larger
than the Dreadnought Of the British navy.
The D~readnought has a displacement OF
1890 tons, and will carry a battery OF
ten II inch guns and no other guns ex-
cept some of light calibre to repel torpedo
boats. The big guns of the Dreadnought
will have a velocity of 1850 feet a Sec
ond and a muzzle energy Of 5000 foot
tons; and it is estimated that her new
II inch gun will have double the power
of a 9.2 inch gun, nearly five times the
power of a rs inch gun, and eight
times that of a 9 inch gun At six
miles every shot from the Dreadnought's
guns will penetrate and demolish the
thickest armor used on war vessels; the
range, of course, will be much greater.
In her speed trials the Dreadnought ex-
ceeded t~wenty-one miles an hour.
At the last session Congress, having
the Dreadnought in mind, made an ap-
propriatiOHf for a new battleship of great
size and power. The question of build
ing one big ship instead of two battle
ships like the Idaho and Mississippi,
which have a displacement OF 1900 tons
and carry a primary battery of four
~ inch guns, and secondary batteries OF
8 inch and 7 inch guns, vas well threshed
out; and probably IL was pride in big
things for America that carried the
day, rather than technical knowledge Of
broadside power and gun range. England
has since settled the general question
for herself by deciding to lay down three
new ~battleships Of slightly less displace-
ment and greater speed than the Dread
rought and equip them with eight ~ inch
guns, so arranged as to obtain the same
broadside power. The plans Of our Blu
reau Of Construction provide for a battle
ship with a displacement Of 10000 tons,
and the presumption 10 that the broad
side power will be greater than the
Dreadnought's.
The Dreadnought was planned upon
the advice OF British experts who wit
messed the battle Of the Sea Of Japan.
1t is obvious that they reported against
secondary batteries for battleships. Our
own Captain MAHAN has great faith in
the secondary battery. He has not been
won over to the leviathan equipped only
with guns Of the heaviest calibre, and the
explanation is that his deductions from
the fighting OF Tsushima differ from those
OF the British specialists. In an article
