Naval Names Perpetuated.

Few Of the famous British regi-
ments still bear the names under
which their early battle honors were
won, but the navy-whose record of
fame dates from a much earlier pc
riod than the army-has consistently
followed the policy of perpetuating
her famous names. The name Of a
famous battleship Is handed down to
a capital ship, while famous frigate
or sloop is perpetuated In a modern
gunboat or light cruiser.

to have been notable more for cholera,
