The first of our ships of the new navy had tops that were practically steel dupli- cates of those of the late war, and but for the presence of modern rapid-fire guns were really of less defensive value than drawings of the war yptians and Asiat- ics, 2,000 years before Christ, bear the | those of thirty-odd years ago. It was nut emb: of the military top perched at the | t111 we began to build our battle ships that masthead of the single spars that bore | we really launched out into regular modern their sails. It was merely a rough bas! military mz and then we followed in principle the practices of the French. The modern mast on a fighting ship is purely for military purposes, {.e., on such ships as are without a spread of canvas of any sort; and its duty now is principally for a service that was once merely inci- Gental to those of the sailing ship. To bear gnals is its first mission, and then to car- ry an armament of rapid-fire guns with which to meet the attack of torpedo- boats, to sweep the open ports, and to en- filade the unprotected gun stations of an ike arrangement in which one or two men might stand and assail the warriors of the fee where they crouched behind the shel- tering bulwarks of bucklers hung against sides. ed high above, the men in the “ga- later it was called, picked off, rs, the enemy before he ard or tempted him into pen exposure and the consequences such rashness brought.

A mean gested shelter to a timid man, th top is superior, but the lessons of the Yalu and the lessons of this struggle of ours will show that no armor is better than ting just thick enough to burst by tm- t the modern sensitive sheil of small iber. Some Advantages. Setting aside the covered tops of the French, their big masts have the advantage ter number of shots to bring them down. The small shot that might seriously imperil the smaller mast would do but little damage to the wide- spread affairs we have on the Indiana, the Oregon, the Massachusetts or the Towa, and, besides, they offer a convenient cov- ered way for passage up and down, and for the carriage of ammunition to the tops. With us the gunboats Wilmington and the Helena repi ent the greatest develop- ment of the military mast, in all it means for fighting and signal purpo: for con- ning the ship, and for the carriage of that great shining eye t is to look far into the night. The conning tower, so to speak, is Just below the lower top, and is reached through the body of the mast proper. Just because of this curious type of mast, one of the enem large auxiliary cruisers took one of these boats for a battie ship the other day, and lost no time in husiling for the distant horizon. National Tendencies. The national tendencies of the various navies are marked by the military masts their recent vessels bear, and whether they seek their inspiration from Great Britain or France it is easy enough to tell. The Russians are unsettled, Austria is equally divided, Germany leans toward the French, while the Japanese and the Italians follow the English. What the coming masts are likely to be will depend principally upon what the means of signaling will require; but there is good reason to believe that simplifica- tion will prevail. The latest of our mili- gle between the ¢ sand the Romans | time, the modern military top is some- the ‘sappeared, for it was| thing to be considered where the hand- customary then to lower the masts and trust only to th: or oars when | = —[= == = going into action. s it may seem, (Copsright, 1898, Lite Publishing Company.) merchant y tops then, els alone carried fight nd for the purpose only ing of meeting the attack of pirates, with whom nearly every sea was then infested. ‘Those tops were not unlike casks, and with two or three men in them could be hoisted well up and into position In time to be of vice. Many of our large merchant ~~ and all whalers carry a somewhat r arrangement well up on their masts , and from the crow’s nest, as it is called, most of the lookout duty is done. The Japanese have adopted s of the kind for their modern vessels, and the cut of the “Chi- mast is typical. For Archers and Spearmen. As the ships grew in power thelr masts had to be heightened by splicing on addi- tional spars, and to give spread for the Stays and shrouds that held them in place, 2 platform was built at the top of the low- er mast. There the archer and spearman found ample room for his work; and the Saxon chronicles of that lusty writer, Sir John Frotssart, in the latter part of the fourteenth century give us some very in- teresting accounts of the damage inflicted upon the French, the Spanish and the Gen- oese by the topmen of the British ships. Down upon the fragile structure of wood they hurled great stones that bore down the foe in great bleeding masses, tore through their deck cpened their ‘seams @nd sent them to the bottom in a style that Sir John makes highly commendable. Then it was for the archers from the high Castles, fore and aft, to pick off these top- row now gomet Raval tose’ tary masts are in part great ventilators: but that is really more strictly an acct dental adaptation, andcould we find some reliable means of signaling other than we heve now, carried higit in the air, the high- est of our military tops would be separate structures built searcely higher than half the height of the vessel’s smokestack. —_—__.___ IMPERIAL ‘ AMERICA. The Brondening of-the Popular View Brought About by the War. From the New Orieans Times-Democrat. Every process of our national thought ard action has been marvelously quick- ened, just as the Roman intellect was fired when Rome was expanded from a munict- ity into an empire. Throughout the length and breadth of this land petty poli- tics is losing its wonted savor for the aver- ege American. Why should he trouble his head about parochial affairs when he is confronted with questions affecting the fate of great dependencies either at our own doors or at the antipodes; why should he lie awake about the sayings and doings of local politicians when any hour may bring news decisive of the fate of an army cr of a fect of battl ships in which the hopes of the country rest? This was shown by a telegram addre: to od last The the Times-Demecrat on in Mi. -gram read as follows: Flease wire us immediat. pense, the exact situ pines and the whe: and Schley’s fleets, nday pi. y, 2t our ex- vabouts of Sampson also what attitude France is ming in the execution of the neutrality laws in Martinique Jt requires no very vivid imagination to realize the scene when the telegram was sent. Evidently there. had been a long and thorough discussion of all the tr mendous questions that confront the coun- try, and, at last, the anxi y to know the latest developments became uncontrollable, and the telegraph was inyoked. The mental attitude of this Mississippi hamlet is uni- versal, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the lakes to the sulf. It means that 70,000,000 of Anglo-Saxons have awakened to the fact that there is othor business in life besides ing crops, manipulating stocks and ‘4 at nations rich, and of things, they ch because they a use th. that, in the eternal orde: only be perman. great. The I vili not be forgotten in our time. The real basis of our abound- ing prosperity in rece years must be found in the limitless devocioa with which millions of Americans, in the four terrible years, laid everything on che altar of their pelitical principles. Now once more the foundation of our national life to be widened and strengthened, not by war be- tween brother and brovier, but between th and reunited nation power that stands for all the mos c.ionary methods and policies of the Bourbon school of thought and action.
