Gently had a single institution designed
wholly or in part for the treatment OF
mentally disturbed patients. What Is
true of New York Is practically true OF
other American cities. This Is in
marked contrast with the situation in
England and in most European coun-
tries, where hospitals and institutes OF
his kind are numerous and well
equipped. No doubt the current vogue
of many cults of mental fealing Is TO
be accounted for in large part by this
hiatus in our general system of scien-
tific medical charities. Nothing Is more
natural tha the rise of church clinics
for the treatment of those who are In

Gunners of american BaHleshps Lead

Hitting Power of Navy, Ship for
Ship, Second to None,
He Declares.

THAT the hitting power of Amer.
lean battleships is today, ship
for ship. second to that of no
other navy aioat, is declared by Rear
Admiral Robley D.. Evans, reviewing.
in Hampton's Magazine for July, the
wonderful advance we have made in
gun-mak king and gunnery since the
Spanish war.
AT Santiago we thought our shoot
ing fairly good" writes Fighting
Bob, but learned later by the testi.
mony of an expert before the Senate
naval committee that it was disgrace
fully bad. Whether 1t was good, bad
or d~isgraceful the fact remains that
we destroyed tbs Spanish squadron in
record time. and the impression among
those engaged in the battle was that
this complete destruction was the re-
suit of our good shooting.
The use of smokeless powder for the
navy became general immediately'after
the Spanish-Amerlcan war; during that
conflict We had used it foi the smaller
guns only. and brown prismatic pow
der for the larger guns. The intro
duction of the new powder necessitated
~resighting ali the guns, and this was
done by the ordnance department as
rapidly as possible. New sights were
supplied to all of our heavier guns,
but in practise these sights proved to
be. in every case, either defective in
principle or too weak in structure to
stand the feavy shock Of discharge.
