Brooklyn, N. Y, May 12.-The Bat
tleship Florida, considered one of the
greatest warships of the dre>.dnaught
class in the world, was successfully
launched today in the presence of a
great throng. Admiral Dewey and
other distinguished men We're present.
Among other distinguished guests were
Vice President Sherman and Secretary

minds as to the utility of this novel

the next eighteen months, by which
time the Florida should be in commits

First Big Ship For Years.
The ship is the first of any real inn
portance to be constructed in govern

and naturally her performance will be
watched with keen interest by the pri

North Dakota built by the Fore River
Ship Building Company and the Della
ware, constructed at Newport News
with the Florida and Utah will make
what is described as unit in naval
parlance, meaning that these vessels
are practically of the same type and
may be expected to operate together in
naval warfare. The North Dakota
and the Delaware are nearly 1000 tons
smaller than the other two vessels, tho
the armament is practically the same
and the smaller vessels indeed are rat
ed at about a quarter of knot faster.
The Florida is 521 feet. 6 inches long.

Of again beholding Halley's comet in
the morning sky. For the last five
days early morning yigils have not
been rewarded with a sight Of the
mysterious sky wanderer. Tomorrow
morning the rays of the comet will so
nearly coincide with those of the sun
that even should the siy be free from
clouds and mists the visibility Of the
comet will be greatly diminished.
Rev. DR.. McHugh, of the DePaul
University. said that the clouds yes
terday concealed the comet completely.
There are no indications. he said, that
conditions will be improved this morn
ing.
On May 1S the comet will pass it's
nearest point to the earth, but will not
be visible then. On the 18th it will
first become visible in the evening sky
It will appear over the western hori-
zon, tail first, and that may be all that
