BIG EMPHASIZES.
AS Viewed From the standpOints of
 Economy and Gun Fire.

AS Viewed From the standpOlnts of
 Economy and Gun Fire.
 A very important factor in the ques- ton of the size of ships is that of economy. A given amount of tonnage Is more economically assigned to one ship than distributed among several Three ships require three captains, three officers constantly on deck in charge, three men at the wheel and three times as many lookouts. While the same proportion - threefold - of deck and engineer force may not be needed, the aggregate crews of three vessels would nevertheless show very considerable percentage in ex' cess of one of the same aggregate ton mage. All this means much more e1- pense for the same carriage of freight and passengers.
 The same order of considerations ap- plies to ships of war, but fin less de- gree, because naval vessels are not for purposes of gain. With them the run ming expenses in this particular count as with merchantmen, but the ques- ton of profit Is replaced by that or military efficiency, as ministering to the safety of the nation or to the as- sertion of national policies.
 Suppose one ship carrying twelve guns opposed to four carrying three each. With the very wide train of modern guns--that is, the long arc of a circle over which their projectiles can strike effectively-lt is easily feasi- ble to bring all the guns of four ships upon single opponent Probably she on her part may bring also upon each enemy three guns, fire power equal to his, but the concentration of four fold impact upon a single vessel pro- duces upon her crew corresponding physical as well as moral impression diminishing their military efficiency, their power of rapid loading and aim ing. not to speak of the proportonate- ly greater chances of material Injury.
 If there be the same number of hits on both sides the one will have been struck four times as often as any one opponent. It. as would be very proper, the one begins by concentrating all her battery on one or two of her antagon- ists she ought to beat them down, but an appreciable time would be required during which the others would be en- gagged in uumolested target practice upon her.-Rear Admiral A. T. Mahan in Leslie's.
