Satin and velvet slippers and

Sleeves are more deliberately
trimmed than ever.
The crepe effects are again
spoken of with much favor.
Bar pins for the neck are to be

But these are the apparent differ |

There are many other differences

no knowledge of naval construction.
Each of the ships, for example, car

without question that the Florida
could demolish the Iowa without
very much danger. The greater
number of guns on the Iowa are of
the smaller caliber, ranging from
eight down to three inches. The
guns of the Florida are all either
II or five inch. The larger guns are
those which would be used in an
engagement with another battleship
and the smaller battery is designed
for defense against torpedo attack
The weight of the II inch shell is

Florida, therefore, at a range of
four or five miles, at which smaller
guns of the Iowa would be useless,
could fire a broadside of $500
pounds of steel missiles while the
Iowa could reply with only $500
pounds. But this is not all. The
guns of the Florida are of the high
type. They fire with greater &C
curacy and more telling effect. BY
the time the Iowa could land shell
in a vulnerable spot it is probable
that she would be smashed by the
more powerful guns of the Florida.
At the long range the smaller guns
of the Iowa would be of little use
and with the improvement in
craftsmanship that has followed
the Spanish war. the big guns would
probably decide the engagement be-
fore the smaller could be brought
into effective play at all.

kVdSNtf9tO1 ouTCdu, OnItcO TiCSS)
VITASHINGTON, April 30.-The
wv most important launching in
the American navy since the
Spanish American war will occur at
the New York navy yard when the
Florida, the latest of Americas all
big gun ships. slides down the ways
on May II. Because she has been
built at navy yard under govern
ment supervision President Taft
and many other distinguished Off
Gals will be there to give her hur-
rah and a godspeed, and the cere-
mony will take on the semblance of
an epochal event in the history of
the American navy.
The Florida, although not the
first, will be the most perfect of the
new type of giant battleships to
take her place in the line of defense
for the United States. Her normal
displacement is 2l,S25 tons, with en-
gines capable of eXerting $4,000
horsepower. Her armament will
consist of 10 II inch guns, which
can be trained broadside, with a tor
pedo battery of 16 five inch guns.
Her design calls for speed of 20.75
knots per hour. which will probably
be nearer %. She will have turbine
engines.
To the layman who has not fol-
lowed closely the extraordinary de-
,yelopment in battleship construc-
ton, these figures mean little more
than bigness and power. 1t is only
by comparison with the ships of the
SPanish-American war that the diff.
ferences can be readily seen.
RS. NEW NAVY SINCE 1898.
=. The navy is a vastly different in.
~stiHtion now from what it was
when that conflict was fought. Prac

built since that time. The com

the Atlantic would scarcely be q

ships of the present Atlantic fleet
There are in commission at the
present time more than a score OF

but she is no match for the Florida
despite the fact that at one time
she was the flower of the fleet.
A comparison of the features of
the two vessels will indicate in
some fashion the progress that has
been made since the Iowa was
launched in 1896. The Florida is
approximately 10000 tons heavier
than the Iowa. 100 feet longer and
carries almost a thousand more
