Wasiiinoton. Jan. 21. Now tlml
there 1110 nuiiorn of war with Chill, I
would like to Imvo you step into tlit
navy tluiuirtmuiit with mo utul take a
look at tlio tnnilels of tho now ships.
Or these there aio wivett or elnht, ntnnil
lily in their kIus cmes alwayH mir
.rountletl by visitors. Hitch is n nutster
piece of workiiiuniliip, every 011011 tiling
of lieauty. No woiuler wo hear from all
shies Hiiuh o.xelninntlons us "wonderful,"
"gratul," "majeHtii!." Each inoilel is an
oxaot duplicate in mliilattiro or thu ship
which it represents. Tho sinallust do
tail is reproduced, and everything is in
preciso proportion.
Tho people who come to look at these
beautiful models gain from thorn a Iwt
ter idea of what a modern naval vessel
is than thoy could by a visit to a man-of-
war itself. Here tho entire craft is un
der inspection at ono glanco of tho oyo;
hero all details and proportions are
brought into easy comparison. And it
is a satisfaction to note with what prido
tho visitors behold those miniature dupli
cates of our now naval vessels, with
what enthusiasm they speak of tho now
found ability of Undo Sam to protect
his subjects and his honor in tho utter
most quarters of tho earth. Theso mod
els kindlo tho enthusiasm and tho patri
otism of a people who don't want to
fight, but by jingo, etc., in a remarkable
manner. 1 was looking at tho models
the other day when Secretary Tracy
camo up with a young woman. She
had not seen tho models. When her
eyes behold them she lilted up hor gloved
hands and exclaimed, with just a trace
of bitterness in her tone:
"Oh, 1 wish I were a man how t
would liko to bo a 1111111!"
"Why?" asked Seciotary Tracy.
"So I might boa sailor on ono of tho-o
beautiful, those majestic ships." was the
renlv. "1 would rather bo a sailor on
tho Now York than than"
"Secretary of tho navy, you wero go
ing to say," interrupted General Tracy
with a smilo.
"Yes. or prosldentof tho United States
either." added the enthusiastic young
woman.
"This only goes to show tho value of
those models as object lessons," com
mented Secretary Tracy. "I liavo been
advised to send tho models to all tho
largo cities of tho country for exhibi
tion. Senators and congressmen tell mo
if 1 would do so a public sentiment
could bo created which would demand
the expenditure of a hundred millions
of dollars a year for tho now navy. But
1 have no author''' to send the models
out for hucIi pn.poso: they will, how
ever, all be exhibited at tho World's
fair."
Visitors to tliis hall of models seo the
very ships on which wo depend for tho
humbling of tho arrogant Chilians. They
learn at a glance that the old navy is a
thing of tho past. Tho day of wooden
walls and smoothbore guns, lired by
loose powder and using spherical projec
tiles, is gone forever. Tho old tir.10
sailor has disappeared, too, and tho ro
mance of navigation, of jack tars strung
along tho yardarms in peaceful roviow.
or cutting away thu rigging in storm or
battle, belongs to tho past. Tho man-of-war
of tho present is a big steel and iron
machine, and the men on board aro ma
chinists rather than siillots. With don
bio sots of great engines, twin screws,
steam pumps, elevators and hoists, power
tackle, electric lights and signals, steam
and hydraulic hoists for shot, and hy
draulic apparatus for turning turrets mid
shifting guns, tho modern man-of-war
is simply a series of machines.
Tho ship itself is a lloatiug machine,
tho high power gun is a machino, tho
crow is organized and disciplined into a
machino which moves liko clockwork,
without much sentiment or display of
bravery until some part of tho physical
machino gives way: then the man con km
to the I rout. In this multiplication and
elaboration of machinery we see what u
perfect and costly pieco of mechanism,
what a triumph of human skill and in
genuity the modern lighting ship has
becomo. It is said there nro in a com-
flote now ship, liko tho Now York or
'hiladolphia. thirty distinct machines.
No ono fact could better illustrate the
idea that war at sea is now mechanical
rather than heroic. It is oven thought by
Bomo critics that tho development of the
mechanism of lighting lias gouo too far:
that tho offensive machines aio too com
plicated and too liable to derangement
in wliolo or in part, which will render
them useless.
As 1 looked at tho models I was struck
with tho fact that shipbuilding ingenui
ty has not yot dovised protection lor tho
ship's boats. Everything else is pro
tected. Tho coal bunkers, containing
when full BOO to 850 tons, aro ranged
alongside tho boilers and engines, so
that a shot to reach a vital part of the
ship must pass through thick walls of
coal besides tho eight to twelve inches of
atool plates. Tho decks aro all curved
anil of steel from two to fivo Incite?
thick thickest whoro tho most protec
tion is needed. Along tho hull on either
side runs a broad belt of steel, from ton
to fifteen incites thick, adding addi
tional protection to thu boilers and en
gines. Theso protected crnisors for, mind,
thoy aro not battleships aro built on
tho theory that wherever a shot can got
through them not much damage would
be done, and where tho d, imago can bo
dono the shot can't get in. The groat
guns aro protected by enormous turrets
in the Monterey and Miantouomah, and
by heavy barbettes or hoods of armor in
the other ships. Tho magazmo is away
down in tho hold of the ship, so far be
low tho wator lino that a shot could
scarcely reach it, und the wall through
which tho oblong projectiles and powder
bags with powder liko lump sugur-
uro hoisted to tho breech of tho gun In
armor protected,
There Is protection in tho speed also.
Ten years ago a speed of twelve knots
was considered very fast. Now v
hulld for nineteen or twenty and get It
in a spurt, with ability to maintain hI.v
tt-en or seventeen knots hours at a time.
In the Haltiiuoro, Sail Francisco and
Philadelphia wo have thico of tho fast
est cruiser allo.it. Speed is itection.
because the uuarmoied naval vessel Is
expected to bo licet enough to run away
from tho enemy which sho dare not
tlitht. Tho battle shins, thick with ar
mor, tbrriblo in their offensive iwwer,
aro not built for speed, being expected
to coim! with anything that comes along.
Such aro the Miautonomali and Monte
rey, tho former Just put into commis
sion ut Now York and tho latter now
ready to receive hor great guns, whose
transiiortatioii by rail across tho conti
nent recently attracted much attention.
Theso fighting ships aro only one-half as
speedy as tho unnoted cruisers,
There is safety in tho twin sciows, for
thoy enablo tho vessel to lo maneuvered l
so much more easily. Even tho com
manding ofllcer is protected. No Far
ragut in tho rigging, trumpet in hand,
shouting through tho darkness, "D u
the torpedoes go ahead!" in model n
naval warfaro, By looking carefully at
tho models you will see "the bridge,"
which is tho elevated platform well for
ward 011 which the captain stands to
give his orders by word of mouth or by
manipulation of tho many signal luvoivt
by his hand. Underneath is n sott r
blockhouse with walls of solid metal
lifteon to twenty inches thick, and run
ning horizontally around it n small open
ing much liko a crack. It is into this
steel wall, called the "conning tower,
that the commanding ntlicer goes in an
engagement. Hero aro more lovers ami
signals, and here, almost as safe as if in
his favoiito nook In tho army and navy
clubhouse in Washington, ho may look
through tho crack, see what is going on
and givo his orders accordingly.
Everything appears to be protected, I
say, oxcept tho boats. There aro many of
them-yawls. pinnaces, lifeboats, gigs. 1
even steam launches but all aro hung '
above tho deck., fair marks for the
, enemy's big guns and his innumerable
I rapid llro Hotchkisses anil (Jatllngs.
"Would not theso boats bo shot to
j pieces in a severe engagoinontV" I usked
a naval oxpeit.
"Ceitninly; wo expect that. Iiuttliciv
is no way of protecting them."
1 "Then, how could you escape in case of
1 disaster to the shipV" !
! " Wo couldn't. We'd Imvo to go down
j with tho ship."
So it appears modem ingenuity has
(protected everything but tho human
j part of tho machine, which, after all. i
the cheapest pait of it.
, Do those great fighting machine.! cost
, much money? For an nnswor look at 11
fow figures: Tho San Francisco, now on
' her way to Chilian waters, cost n little
tnoro than $2,000,000 construction, arm
I anient and equipment. She is tho most
I costly of our now vessels now in com
linission. Tho Philadelphia, Baltimoro
and Newark each cost about $1, 800,000.
1 complete. Tho Atlanta and Boston cost
ifl, 000,000 apiece and tho Yorktown
$700,000. Theso aro vory small figures
j compared to tho cost of some of the
1 ships which wo are now building. Tho
most costly vessel now oil tho stocks in
I this country Is the'Oregon, which is to
bo a monster floating fortress of 10,'JOO
tons, with 2,700 tons of armor plato pro
tecting her hull, and to cost, complete,
the enormous sum of fi.GOO.tiO,-,. Hor
two sister ships, of tho samo slzo, arma
ment and armor thoughont, will each
cost about $170,000 less, owing to a dif
tereuco in tho contracts.
Tho hull of tho mighty Orogon is to
cost more than $J,r00,000, her on
glues will tuko );?;iy,000 more, tho
armor for hor hull $000,000, tho nr
inor for protection of hor guns $1)00,
000, hor guns $7811.000 and her equip
ment $101,000. Theso figures show
that building theso mammoth modern
men-of-war is a luxury which only the
richest of nations can afford to indulge
in on a largo scalo. Secretary Tracy
tells mo tho United State now has under
way warships which will co-st to com
plete, arm and oiptlp $").000,000. Great
fleets come high, but tho United States
must have them.
It is gratilying to know that wo n.e
building all of our now ships at home.
Tho plans of all but threo or four were
mado in this country too. Another in
spiring fact is that tho United States is
now turning out armor faster than the
factories of Europe could do it, and that
it is tho best armor in tho world a
motal which acts as a sort of snowbank,
and takes tho projectiles hurled at il
witli Titauliko force and smothers them
without cracking or serious injury to it
self. Moreover, wo aro making all our
own high power gnus, and aro makin
bettor guns than tho English, who have
been longor in tho business, and as good
guns as ICrupp or thu Fronch can make,
who had beaten tho world till wo started
up our factories.
It costs inoiioy to man a big bhlp after
it is ready for sea. Tho first class ships
liko tlto Chicago, Ualtimoro and Phila
delphia carry about U0 ollicors, :S00 en
listed men and a murine corps of from
10 to 00 men and ofllcors. Tho ofltcors
of a first class bhip of tho lino nro tho
following: Captain, lloutoitnnt com
mander, 4 lieutenants, 1 junior lieuten
ant, 3 ensigns, il naval cadets, medical
inspector, surgeon, assistant surgeon,
paymaster, chief engineer, assistant en
gineer, chaplain, captain of tho marines,
gunner and carpenter. Tho expense of
maintaining a first class modern cruiser,
pay of officers and men, coal, repairs and
general supplies is estimated ut if 1, TOO
per day.
This is in time of peace. If fighting is
to lw dono tlto expense will of course iw
vastly increased. Repairs may run into
the hundreds of thousands of dollar
after an engagement, while tho cost of
tiring ono b oadsido from a ship liko the
Chicago, 1)00 pounds of metal at ono dis
cha,ge from four gun-,, is ulxmt $000.
It ii o.isy to see tli.it a day's fighting
with a Heel of such ci nisei's would mako
a big holu in tho pocket of even us rich a
iiutgnutenf the e.irth as our Uncle Sum.

Aiui.r.Ni:. Kan.. Jan. at. It in when
tho wild horse wanders far enough from
tlto Mexican Under to lie within roach
that tho keenest pleasure comes to the
ranchmen. The news that a herd of
mustangs is In tlto neighborhood never
fails to amuse an overwhelming enthu
siasm, nnd hunting parties nro organised
at once
It is in winter time that these herds
come wandering northward, though
they seldom roach so high a latitude us
to meet severe storms, and it is in win-
'tor time that tho ranchmen Imvo the
lliuo to spend in capturing tliem. North
.Mil Texas ami the western part of tho
Indian Territory see the creatures fro-
J iptently.
Tho hunters, or "tuiistaiigors," ns they
1 are called, when they hear of tho up-
I pnoach of a herd of wild horses, mako
I their stmt vllli4uo intention of remain-
I lug away for days mid v eoks if neees-
1 sury Their woi k also includes tho
building of a corral in some locality
near where the herd is discovered.
Taking a provision wagon and tents tho
' hunting putty divides the day Into three
1 "watches" of eight hours each. Ono
putty sleeps, one drives tho wagon and
one "walks" the mustangs, taking turns
in the different tasks.
Crawling slowly over tho prairio tho
hunters locate tho herds in companies of
from twenty-flvo to ono hundred under
I sized hut sturdy animals. Tlto ponied
' once discovered, tho hunters prepare for
I action. Tho first man leaves tho wagon
I and takes tho trail on foot. Ho makes
lJ1M ,,nt HUmdlly and patlontly walks
no attoinnt at overtaxing 1110 wim
after them for eight hours, when ho is
1 relieved. All the timo tho follower
keeps tho horses on tho move and as
much as possible away from water
courses In the scantily watered regions
1 this is not difllcult.
Tho theory of tho hunt Is to keep the
1 jinnies going night and day without
food or water until they aro exhausted
, So far as possible thoy aro directed in a
' circle about tho corral, which is In
tended for tho final goal.
1 At tho start tho gay and festive inns
' tang kicks up his joyous heels and
1 tosses shaggy mane and tail in contempt
for tho slow and plodding pursuer. The
solitary hunter walks on and on, and at
I last tho horses realize that tho steadily
1 marching plodder is not to bo shaken
I off and becomo less and less frisky.
Then thoy settlo to a walk and soon are
' also plodding along over tho prairio.
I When tho first "watch" is finished the
wagon drives up nnd another of the
I hunters begins his tramp. At its close
number three stnrts in, nnd so tho day
' and night wears away. Another day
and night repent tho programmo and tho
1 chase continues without intermission or
rest until, without having food or wator
since tho hunt began, except for the
snatches seized ns thoy walk, tho starved
and weary mustangs tottor along al
most as tamo as house dogs. When
j their gay and frivolous nature has been
1 sapped their drooping heads aro turned
I toward tho corral. Soon, as unieslstlng
as sheep, thoy aro driven in. With 11
I light covering of snow tho task is mo?t
quickly accomplished, as starvation's
pangs come 111010 quickly.
Another method Is to run n wild horse
down, but only an Indian can do this, u
it requires tho ability to run a hundred
miles or tnoro without rest or refresh
ment. This no white "mustnnger" can
do. Tho Indian rides toward a hold,
"cuts out" or selects his choico and
chases it up hill and down, over hill nnd
stream, among rocks or undorbrush as
rolcntleis as fate. When his own horse
Is tired out he pickota hint nnd takes the
chase on foot. He carries no weapons
and wears tho lightest possiblo clothing.
Whon the wild liorso is wearied out it is
taken prisoner easily, having been worst
ed in a trial of mere brute strength
This method, too, is only practicable in
winter, with snow on the ground, in or
der that tho trail may bo easily followed
if tho horse gets out of sight. Usually
the animal will bo run down in tho iv-i
sovonty-fivo miles, but MO miles is sure
to exhaust his strength.
There is still another plan which nslu
glo hunter can follow. It is called
"creasing," and can succeed only when
a crack shot pursues it. Selecting a fa
vorite wntoring placo of tho herd tho
"mustaugor" puts him-elf in ambush.
tttl Hrt winltr 11 tfil tltirr flin rMuttif r9
tho ll0rH,s, A"t 'length tho trampling of
impatient hoofs is heard, and following
tho lead of a stalwart brute tho mus
tangs gather about tho refreshing pool to
quench thoir thirst.
Now is the huntor'sachanco, and mak
ing a selection of sonio finely propoi
tioued animal thu title comes to thu
shoulder, and taking un refill aim at tlto
curved necks that bond over tho watot
course "lung" goes tho weapon and tho
pony is sprawling and kicking in tho
mud, while its companions go skurrying
away as on wmgs of wind across the
plain.
"Creasing" consists in striking ac
curately and exactly the spinal column
of tho liorso, and requires not only mi
exact knowledge of anatomy hut mi
en iug skill with tho rifle. If tho bullet
strikes too low tho spino is broken and
tho pony is killed; if too high, only tho
skin is cut and the horse goes flying
away much frightened but little hurt.
If placed aright the shot stuns tho animal
for a moment long enough for th?
hunter to run forward and buckle a pair
of hobbles on its forelegs and nooso a
lariat on its neck. Soon consciousness
returns, but the mustnnger is master of
the situation and lias added another
horso to his possessions. Tho wound
seldom proves injurious afterward.
Once captured and in the corral the
wild horse's troubles have only begun.
Tho short winter days will see ninny 11
cruel experience before tho intimitis cap
tured aro "bioken" and ready for saddle
or harness, tiding Into thu rot nil the
horsemen deftly throw their lassoes over
tho hows' heads, one at a Mine, and i'l
a moment tho noose comes tuut mid the
choked animal is on Ills side. Without
udo a heavy lit Idle, with cruel Bpaiili.li
hit. Is forced on tho half unconscious
steed, and then a Mexican saddlo, with
high iKimmel and hack ami double
bauds, is adjusted.
When tho nooso Is loosened tho victim
Is nearly crazed with fear of thu strange
ttappings with which it Is accoutered,
At the end of tho long lariat the horso
circles, bucking, leaning, lolling and
kicking in tho vain effort to rid itself of
thnquccrhutilou. Should 11101101x0111111,
a heavy "snako whip." mado of leather
and handled by tho mustaiigers with the
skill of an artist, cuts tho tender skin,
leaving great ridges and sending the
iiulmal on.vanl.
A couple ol' hours or Ums Is suHloiont to
completely weary the horso, which Is
now In a lather of sweat, and at this
stage In the gamo one of the men up
pro.tehes and swings himself into thu
saddle, Again tho kicking commences,
and it is only an expert rider who can
keep his seat Sometimes thu frightened
cieatute rears so high on its liiuil legs
as to fall backward, and then the rider
must he quick not to be caught beneath,
The long bit now comes Into play, ami
tho horse feels for the llrst tlmo thu in
fluence which Is to gitiilo Its steps
through life. Soon thu intiupid rider
throws otr tho lariat and tho perspiring
mustang goes jumping and kicking
away Sometimes tho bucking con
sisting of putting thu feet together and
humping tlto back suddenly becomes
so severe as to throw tho rider, hut not
often Long, sharp spurs urge on tho
beast and the hit is used unmercifully,
often cutting the mouth until aseusitive
onlooker is shocked.
Tho "breakers," however, assure one
that It is tho only way to succeed, and
as at tho end of an afternoon's struggle
they have so tamed a wild animal that
any man can ride it, or it can bo har
nessed hesldu a broken horso and driven,
results speak for themselves. Tho sec
ond hitching up is almost hut not quite
as much of a task us the first, and it is
weeks before tho newly broken liorso can
bo handled easily A mustang Is never
trustwoithy. hut Is .dways hardy and
fleet, heuco thu animals bring a fair
price thirty to soventy-tlvo dollars In
thomaikotsus riding ponies or driving

Br.TiHX, Conn., Jan. '21. Uethel, in
common with D.iubury, of which it is
really a suburb, has long boon noted for
its hatting industries. But Uutliul has
another claim to distinction. In this
quiet village tho great American show
man first saw the light of day. The
hotiso whoro ho was born stands on tho
sttcet leading east from thu central
square, on a high bank abovo tho road,
on tho north side. It is a neat wooden
houso, and sports it white cont of paint
and green blinds. Directly in front of
the houso, in tho middle of the street, is
an imiucuso elm tree, which has stood
thero since n time long antedating the
memory of the oldest inhabitant. It is
a grand ol 1 trc. and is apparently still
good for fifty years of llfo.
Though P. T. Uurnum made Bridge
M)tt his home and established the winter
quarters of his show thero, he til ways
kept a warm spot in his heart for Bethel.
Ho had a haudsomo fountain made to his
ordor in Europo, and set it up at his own
expense in tlto public square of the town
Many of tho old timers recall his early
life as storekeeper and editor. The
most exciting incident was his imprison
mont for sixty days in tho county jail
for printing uncomplimentary notices of
tho town ollicors, and otherwise freely
expressing his mind, in his sheet hearing
tho sounding title of Herald of Freedom.
The people admired his stand, and when
ho was lole.ised in Daubury thoy drew
him in a coach through tho streets In
triumph. What advertising iossih!IIties
this incident would have hud for tho
"genial showman" hud It happened at a
later period In his growth! No ono over
had a keener perception of the money
value of publicity or was more skillful
in catering to tlto curiosity of mankind.

.Mr. Lick probably had no idea how im

that Lick had a vague idea that he

means of his big toloicopa whether or
not tho moon is inhabited. But I can't
