HENRY II. ROGERS.

The death of Mr.. H. H. Rogers re
moves from the financial world, one
of the most successful business men
of the Twentieth Century, just as he
had achieved what he considered his
greatest work; that of building a rail
way, which he finished in the face OF
almost insurmountable obstacles. 1t
is difficult at this time to justly judge
the character of the dead man except
from the standpoint of a successful
business man. There are many who
have said that he succeeded on the
ruin of others and if he did, the only
moral we can deduce is that it die
him little good after all and that il
the United States the economic laws
afford but short periods that even his
descendants are likely to keep all thai
he amassed at the cost of many sac
rifices. His passing did not have the
effect on the financial world tina
might have been produced had hi
death been expected for some time; y
this day of great corporations provi
sion is made for such occurrences, an
the suddenness of death in this in
stance kept the stock market from
being broadly influenced by sentiment
which is an important asset in tn
brokers' office.
He left no legacy to mankind excep
that his life was typical of the success
that a poor boy can achieve in tn
commercial world, when he makes tn
most of his opportunities.

Access to the fire-control stations
aloft is through the interiors of the

the lower deck up through 40 feet of
slantwise steel tunneling, lit at inter-

tage of these tripod masts is that all
rigging is abolished enabling a wider
radius of gunfire to be attained.

Temeraire fired eight of her ten -

ENGLAND'S new
DREADNOUGHT
THE TEMERAIRE ANOTHER MON
sTER is COMMISSIONED.
The Leviathan Is the Most Formidable
Ship AfIoat, and Has Seven Decks
and Carries ten 12-inch Guns.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-With the
commissioning of the Temeraire at
Davenport today, the English navy
received another Dreadnought. 1t is
probably safe to assume that this
same Temeraire is as formidable as
any completed warship on the seas.
This leviathan was launched in Au-
gust, 1907, and at that time was the
heaviest warship ever sent from 4
royal dockyard. Her launching weigh,
was 1915 tons, which is 500 tons
heavier than the Bellerophon.
The Temeraire mounts ten 12-inch
guns, the same as the Dreadnought,
and by an echelon arrangement her
turrets will be able to fire a broad
side of eight of them. The Temer-
aires main armament is also SO ar
ranged that she can employ two OF
her turret guns for right astern fire
Four-inch guns have been substituted
for the Dreadnoughts 12-pounders for
repelling torpedo boat attacks. The
Temeraire has a displacement of 49,,
600 tons and a speed of % knots. She
has a length of 400 feet feet and a
beam of 80 feet. Her draught is 81
feet. She has an indicated horse
power of $4,000.
Some idea of the magnitude of this
great ship may be gathered from the
number of. her decks. She has a fly
ing deck, boatdeck, battery deck
main deck, lower deck, armored deck
and double bottom flat. Between each
tier is splendid head room and perfect
ventilation.
Electricity, of course, is the primary
factor in the vitality of this vessel
The switchboard room, with upwards
of three hundred controlling keys is
one of the sights of the ship. The
installation is on a novel plan. Foul
dynamos generate the current, which
circulates through two gigantic ca
bles weighing fifteen tons, carried
entirely around the interior of the
ship. These main cables are tapped
at frequent intervals, and 140 miles
of wire branching off from them give
light and heat, ring bells, operate
lifts. coaling winches, ammunition
hoists, ventilating fans, work the
smaller guns an dactuate the fire-con'
troll apparatus of the big ones. The

with if they were not bank directors.
Concerning some of the new rules a

ness they were supposed to conduct
He asked them how many of the
monthly or bi-monthly meetings they
attended in the previous year, when
they had examined the books of the
bank last, and other pointed questions.

of bank officials of what was going
