erful noating fortresses OF the present
day Crude as was the design Of the
ships of the ancients some of their
salient points are to be found-in a
highly developed degree, of cOurse-in
the battleships of the present day.
The fighting ship, the historians tell,
originated in China. The Chinese were
the first daring navigators. And 50
daring did they become and 30 many
countries did they visit that the emper-
or, fearing that too many outside ideas
would be conveyed into China, ordered
that all ships should be modelled after
the form of his slipper.
Thus the Chinese junk, ship that
can sail in hardly any direction than
before the wind, an unwieldly craft
that can be blamed for China's lack OF
modern ideas.
The ships Of the Norsemen and the
Mediterranean fleets were the next
stage in the development of the bat
tie ship. Here sails were infrequently
relied upon. Galley slaves with long
sweeping oars propelled the craft seat
ed on benches below decks.
Harsh drivers with long whips spur
red on the oarsmen, who were usually
prisoners of war. Heathens in Chris
tan countries and vice versa.
The top decks were for the fighting
freemen. Forward they fought with
battle axe and catapult; aft were the
archers in solid phalanx about the
ships commander. A huge ram stood
out Of the ships bow, prepared to sink
any craft it rushed against.
The great fleet of Venice, which for
time ruled the seas, was organized
on this plan.
The ships of the Vikings were small
Ger and not always manned with gal
ley slaves. The rowers, freemen, sat
in plain view along the gunwales, pro
tected by their shields and took their
part in battle.
The Inflated Spanish Armada, whip
ped with ease by the English, gave
Britain it's first power on the seas, and
offers the best connecting link between
the ancient war ships and those of the
present day. The Armada was equip
ped with cannon.
After the Armada came the faster
and better ships of the time of Drake
the pirate craft of the high seas.
Students of American history are
familiar with the craft that followed.
the boats that brought the first set
tiers here and the frigates of the time
of the revolution. Then comes the
armored gunboats of the civil war and
the development of armor plate and
high power guns found in our present
battleships.
i We may laugh at the feeble galleys
of the ancients, but what will they
think of our dreadnaughts thousand
years from now?

THEA ABSENT SENATE.

~ a +.
While speaking on the Clayton anti
trust bill the other day Senator Reed
of Missouri struck sharp blow at an
evi; practice in the senate. A point
of no quorum had just been made and
with the ringing of the signal bell,
forty-nine senators came in from the
cloak room and from the senate office
building to answer to their names. At
ter answering present" three-fourths
of them solemnly left the chamber,
leaving a dozen senator's to listen to
an important discussion.
Senator Reed took occasion to crit
icize this common practice in the fol-
lowing words:
"Mr President, it is very embarrass.
ing to argue question Of this kind in
the absence of the senate do not ex-
pect to be able to entertain the senate.
The roll has just been called and forty
nine senator's have answered to their
names, but there are now by actual
count in the senate just twelve sena-
tors"
Senator Reed then proceeded to
name the senators who were present
SO that the constituents of those absent
might learn of their small subterfuge
in the record.
81 have seen it happen time and
again. CONCLUDED Senator Reed. "This
bill is not more important to me than
to all other members of the senate.
Time and again in the last two weeks
l have heard grave matters discussed
in the absence of nine-tenths of the
senate. Then, when the vote Is taken,
senator's come into the chamber and
casually inquire what is going on and
proceed to vote"
