Delaware and North Dakota Each vessel is $40
feet in length and So feet beam, and they go
their predecessors one better in the matter OF
shooting irons,' for each has five turrets in
stead of four and carries total of ten instead
of eight of the 12-inch guns Moreover, the Della
ware and the North Dakota have each powerful
secondary battery made up of fourteen of the eff
fective 5nch guns. Next year will see another
brace of "Dreadnaughts," the Utah and Florida,
take their places among the ships of the line.
They are almost identical in size with the Della
ware and North Dakota. After them will come
the Arkansas and Wyoming-each 554 feet in
length and SO feet beam and carrying full dozen
of the 12-inch guns, but 1t will be several years
ere these record-breakers are ready to report for
duty
Next to the importance of providing fighting
ships for Uncle Sans navy is the task of prepar-
ing the ships and the men who handle them for
the work they are intended for-fghtng the bat
ties of the country, should the dread specter at
any time descend upon us. The thrilling expert
ences on board big ships playing at war are in
terestingly described in the following account
written by one who witnessed the recent naval
evolutions.

"The range is 10,500; DETECTION AZ"
1t is the last suspense. Slowly, far below, the

Lovemakinq and Practice.

The only way to become an expert
at lovemaking is to practice. This
was the information handed out to q
handful of hearers by the Hindu phil
osopher, Sakharam Ganesh Pandit, in
q lecture on "The Science of Love-"
Love is divine discomfort" said
the philosopher, "and If you want to
arouse love in others it can be done
only by giving them love. How to
develop the emotion of love in another
is the great question of today-the art
of making love. 1t needs a great deal
of study and great deal of prao-
tice"

gers have cut the continent in two it will suffice
to build one battleship year. but for the time
being two year-and Dreadnaughts at that
are needed, in the opinion of the administration
Now "Dreadnaughts" are comparative novelty
In the United States navy and for all that there
are several of these vessels flying the Stars and
Stripes, and more building, there is a consider
able share of the public that has never grasped
the significance of these new-style sea warriors.
To put the matter in a nutshell, it may be ex-
planned that a "dreadnaught" differs from the
ordinary battleship principally by being larger
and heavier and carrying an increased number
of guns of big caliber. The term "Dreadnaught,"
1t will be understood, has come to stand for
whole class or family of batteships rather than
for any individual vessel.
All the same, this nickname for the lat
est fashion in floating fortresses did originate
with one particular vessel-the first of her type.
