I So rapid is the transformation
now going on that even naval ex-
perts have to catch their breath
and look twice to believe their
eyes.
What will surprise most people
Is the news that the Smokestacks
are to go overheard. Already our
navy has done away with the old
time fighting masts, as they We're
called, and the plans of our naval
experts contemplate the rapid sub
stitution of light wire-woven tow
ers, which in their appearance sug-
gest an inverted wastebasket.
These have been tried and found
adequate for all uses served by
the fighting tops and military
masts, whose small caliber guns
were shown In the Japanese-Rus-
sian war to be entirely useless and
whose heavy metal work were SO
much more target for the missiles
of the enemy. The admiraTs
bridge and the woodwork of the
pilot house have also been con-
demned as superfluities.
The great stride ahead which
has been adopted by Great Britain
is the installation in their newest
type of Dreadnaught of what
amounts to gas engine. This tyne
of engine, perfected in the United
States, mas been adopted by for
eign countries for their torpedo
boats and small destroyers. So
backward, however, are we in our
naval construction that We have
not even kept pace with foreign
nations in this improvement. 1t
comes, however, as a surprise to
all the world-or 1t will when II
is heard-that the enormous 26,-
