Defective Naval Construction in Those Copied After British Models. Recent reports of the maneuvers of the British naval fleet contain some matter not entirely reassuring with respect to some of our new naval vessels. In these maneuvers about six vessels of the Archer type partici- pated. The result was a disagreeable surprise to Sir Wm. Reed, the chief naval constructor of the admiralty. It was found that the vessels pitched and rolled about to such an extent in @ moderately heavy sea as to render them very poor gun platforms, to use a technical expres- sion, which means that the guns were so un- stable that they could not be directed with any approach to accuracy of fire. They were also very wet ships, These defects are supposed to result from the excessive weight of the ord- anc it was recommended that the six-inch rifles be replaced by five-inch guns THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS REPORT to naval officers here lies in the fact that the new gunboat Yorktown is patterned after the Archer, and will carry the same caliber and Failure has also attended the efforts of the British constructors to build | & twenty-knot ship, of which the Navy depart- ment here is attempting to build two. w direction of an act of Congress. vl which was built for a twenty-knot ship, has never exceeded nineteen knots, but has devel- oped more than the estimated horse-power, an indication to constructors here that it possible to drive a vessel of that length at The British authorities have taken the same view, and will build another set | reater length, Other vessels ave failed to develop any- thing like the necessary good horse-power, so that the promise of success for our boats is not weight of ordnance.

The town seems tobe full of club men, of varying degrees of finish and of diffe according to the material from which they have been manufactured, but all recognizably of the same type at bottom, in the first place, and conspicuously, a man who is informed of all that is going on in the the interest which other men give to do- affairs being in their case bestowed on the news of the community, tends to a wide range of sympathy, but it is impossible to deny that it tends also to the de- velopment of a habit of gossiping “I concluded a year or two ago,” remarked a gentleman not long ago, “that I was getting too rusty and too much absorbed in the things that went on in my own little circle, and as my wife had to go abroad for her health, I gave myself up, to the clubs for a whole winter, and when my wife came home again she threatened to have me put ina hospital for incurable gos- And the worst of the matter was that when I came to think the matter over I found that she was right.” Of course this isan exaggerated way of look- ing at the matter, but there isa good deal of Another characteristic of is easy adaptabili ny in which he is reasonably y imself, and his readiness to fall into any train of talk or to take any part in any discus- It is part of his daily training to be ex- ercised in this sort of readiness, and he soon becomes almost cosmopolitan simply from be- ing thrown in with so many sorts and condi- tions of minds at the club. He is not unlikely to have picked up at the same time a habit of being upon terms of familiar intimacy with various alcoholic bever- ages which would not be fully approved by people of strict ideas on this subject. He is too well bred, be it understood, to be found under the influence of liquor, at least to any extent visible to the naked eye; but he1s apt to fall into the habit of depending more largely than can be thought wholly desirable upon the in- vigorating cocktail for his liveliness and to keep his stomach in astate of excitement which in the long run is likely to tell upon his diges. tion if not upon his te is i by no means universal, and it is really saying little more than would in any case be true of the ordinary man about town. ‘The club man is, Perhaps this truth in it after all. the club man is Of course th It is not so much a e of club life as it is a natural ac- companiment of it, Perhaps the best feature of this sort of life is the catholicity it gives, the freedom from stiff- ss and formality, and the power of entering into the interests of one’s fellows, is that one pays for this by a loss of earnest- ness which is almost sure to prevent devotion to a cause or to an ideal, and which seems to sap the vitality out of effort and belief alike. ical club man is tolerant because he is earnest about nothing, anything which could arouse him to a lively activity, it would be his own comfort; but as his own comfort consists so largely in being placid and unexcited, it follows that he is de- eating his own ends when he actively defends even his independence and will. of course, the fault of the age as well as of the individual, but it comes to light in club life as it does nowhere else, There are a great many men who find in club life the comforts which would be beyond their means in their own homes, who are able on a| given income to live far more luxuriously with the aid of these institutions than they could in It has been said that this fact hindered marriages, and very likely this is true Men who are accustomed to having things to suit them in aclub, and who are not able to keep up an establishment, naturally think a good deal before they give up they have for the doubtful blessings of a home which must be managed on an economical basis. If it were the fashion to be very much im love, as it was in the days of our grand- fathers, they doubtless would be le: blooded about it; but, as it is, they do in many cases conclude that a bachelor existence is on the whole likely tobe more comfortable than the married state on a moderate amount of This view of life may seem selfish, but it is undoubtedly the one taken by many of our eable men, and it is diflicult to see how If there were any other way. the comforts A man_ belongs to one of the several clubs here which have a restaurant; they get fora moderate sum a capital dinner, with the best of company, varied trom day to day; and when contrast this with a dinner of herbs in their own home, they do not always find the rospect suficiently alluring to be ready to “TI would like to be married,” a man said in my hearing, not long since, “but I am more fond of good dinners and domesticity, and I've con- ng with m: am inclined to believe that he pretty large cl: cluded to worry alo: belongs to a some of whom have reasoned the thing out in this way, and some of whom ‘oly part of it comes when the men are getting along in life, their friends have married and have homes of little the club seems to ely bachelor somehow finds himself stranded and wishes he had made a different decision long years before.
