Monitor, save that the new type
will have more free board. All
the cumbersome superstructure
which at present adorns the battle
ships and which affords a splendid
mark for the enemy's guns will be
taken off.
"All that will appear above the
decks will be turret fore and aft
and the tunnels of the boilers and
wire waste basket type of mast
which will be used for the look
outs.
1T is assured by those who
criticise the navy department that
this remodeling is an admission
that the armor belt on the battle
ships was misplaced. The innova-
ton raises the armor belt to
point where it will be more effec-
tive, because taking off the super
structure will, it is calculated,
raise the ships one foot higher in
the water and consequently the
armor belt will be in the desired
position, The ships could not
have been raised otherwise without
danger of turning turtle or becom-
ing unseaworthy. The fighting
masts are to be dispensed with.
They have not only proved useless,
but cumbersome and easily put
out of commission. On the other
hand it has been proved that the
wire basket type of mast is%practi-
Cally invulnerable and may be
punctured many times without
danger of collapse"

U. S. NAVY WAS WRECKED
By Trip Around the World According
to Story Published in New
York World.

The New York World printed
the following from its special cor
respondent in Washington a few
days ago:
The navy department today
announced that the sixteen battle
ships which made a trip around
the world are to be remodeled
thus practically confirming the re.
ports that have been current since
the return of the fleet that the
voyage practically wrecked the
navy.
Since the return of the fleet il
has been reported at various times
that masts had been sprung, that
plates were loosened, that the in.
tricate electrical machinery, in.
Guiding the fire control, was hope
lessly out of order, and that other
things had happened. Neverthe
less the navy department insists
that the ships stood the voyage
better than expected, which leaves
to the imagination what the orig

Everywhere practically the same

mencement of this fratricidal war.
The result was disappointing to
the dominating powers generally
and served rather to complicate
the problems than to solve it.
John Bright, England's foremost
political economist, and standing
high in the estimation of the
powers, had predicted the failure
of this government to restore the
union and who had often urged his
government to acknowledge the
South by granting beleagers rights,
he was sorely disappointed. Com
ing with his disappointment came
an awakening to the fact express
ed by Patrick Henry, that the peo-
pie are not merely statesmen but
Americans, and world power to
reckon with. In an addressed de-
livered after the official announce
ment of the close of the war, John
Bright acknowledged his disap-
pOintment, but said more difficult
task had been forced on the ma
tiOnal government than that of
hghing down the South, to-wit:
The establishment of a union of
all the states, but if it succeeds in
this it will not be 40 years until
there can be no great International
War, nor material changes of the
political map of the world without
first consulting the United States
of America.
Forty years had not elapsed I'M
til this government had been coun-
seled in international affairs, had
solved the vexatious Spanish
problem, and had practically die
tated the terms of settlement be-
tween Japan and Russia. John
Bright had prophesied better than
the world thought, or than he had
realized. But from the April day
on which the swelling notes OF
peace rang out from Appomattox
the United States of America has
steadily grown in magnitude in
the eyes of the world until now il
ranks equal to the best. and its
star is still in the ascendent, and
the bright and shining light of all
the nations. Peace hath her vic
tories no less renowned than wal

AppomattOX day to this hour
peace has had victories that have
astOnished the wise ones who can
recall the anti-bellum days clearly
enough to compare them with the
present. Personal enmity has
dwindled almost to cipher politi-
differences have lost much of their
sectionality, plantations have been
divided into farms; school houses
like beacon lights are guiding the
people out of ignorance into the
broad light of the present day and
prosperity seems to have gathered

Fine Old Spanish EmeraIds.

"Finc old Spanish cmerads' Is a
phrase which means something quite
different from what It seems to imply.
There never was an emerald mined in
Spain. but after the conquest OF Peru
the conquerors brought home great
Quantities of loot. Of which emeralds
formed an important part. In this
way the finest emeralds came into
possession Of the old Spanish families,
and as very few had been seen IN
Europe previous to thar time all the
best stones soon became classed ms
fine old Spanish emeralds. Today the
expression still applies to the bes'
cmoralds of any source.
