pressed to avoid obstruction Of the arc
Of fire Of the main guns.
The main armor belt has a uniform
thickness Of twelve inches, and Ii 300
feet long, extending four feet nine
inches above, and three feet four inches
the arrangement of armor follows Eng
lish, American, and Japanese ideas,
but as regards thickness and dfstribu-
ton II resembles what has been adopted
on the japanese ships now building. The
vessef is divided into numerous water
tight compartments, fitted with cleo
trcally-drtven centrifugal pumps, which
can be operated even when the COM
partment is completely flooded.
The motive power is steam turbines,
of 1900 tons. The main turbines can
develop S9,5O0-horsepower with one inch
Of air in the firerooms. The ship must
make a speed OF twenty-five and one
half knots an hour for eight hours with
displacement of 1850 tons.
Her Ordnance Equipment.
The main battery of the Rividavia will
consist of twelve 12-inch guns. mounted
in pairs in turrets, SO that they can all
be fred at once. IN addition to the -12-
inch guns her armament will include
twelve 6-inch and twelve 4-inch guns.
besides smaller field and saluting guns.
She also has two 21-inch submerged
torpedo tubes. A new feature is placing
the axis Of the 6-inch guns at nineteen
feet six inches above the normal water
line In order to avoid the necessity of
closing the ports In rough weather, and
rendering the guns practically useless.
There are two coming towers, one for
ward Of twelve inch armor, and the other
aft of nine inch armor. The fire control
towers are located, one on the auxiliary
mast, one above each coming tower,
one auxiliary station on each side Of the
ship on small independent armored tur-
rets. and one main control station with
in the casemate under the protective
deck. The electric power will be supplied
by two main stations in duplicate, and
there will be a third auxiliary station for
the ship and handling the
turrets in practice.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
A Winning Fight.
By DIR. WILLIAM osLER

BY DIR. WILLIAM OSLER
This is not a battle of a year
or a generation. The probabili-
ties are that it will take two or
three generations at least before
we have the mortality from tu-
berculosis reduced to the rate.
say, of that of typhoid fever in
well regulated countries. This
will probably be matter of two
or three generations. Whether
tuberculosis will be finally Grad
icated is an open question 1t
is a foe that is very deeply in
trenched in the human race, but
when we think of what has been
done in one generation. how the
mortality has been reduced in
some localities so and even 100
per cent, we at least feel that
we can continue the battle with
hope, and so long as we are
lighting with hope the victory is
in sight.
