The gun. » ng e from 111 ton weapons that throw a 18001 b projectile, with a charge of 960. boi I powder, down to three-pounder a™*^"" Borne of our battleships carry aa many m I 54flau8,?5ofwhich they are able to dis charge m ono broadside, thus throwing come 36181 bof iron per minute ab the enemy. Sic effective range of the big gnua w over ten miles, and ten Bhotß per m nute can be I thrown by the quick-Bring once. I * One of our big battleahips fighliDft at close quwtetß with her Maxima m play would SurUfc the foe about .2600 P^ >%?<£ woSdbe filled with high «pk«™«vi»*l would deatroy everything for yards around I The plwe where they exploded.

Eventually, however, the orew get Kow the ship ao well that they can get her ready for action m a minute and a half. I -Shto thej have to do by right mw.ll « , lay Probably the captain choo B eß midnight when I all but the watch are fwfc asleep to order I quartere to be Bounded. Immediately the I Sugle riDga out every man jumps from his 3 hammook and rueheß straight for his Btatiop, I each one endeavoring to be the first at his I P °3for a oouple of minutes the clanging of I iron doora and the clanking of chains are I heard throughout the ship ; then all is silent I •gain. The biighb muzzles of the guns I fffisten oub ab the ports ; down m the maga- I zincs are men ready to send ammunition to I the gunners on the decks above ; the torpedo I orewa have placed Whiteheadt m the tubes, and every other preparation haß been made I to give battle to an enemy. I Illuminated sights are used on the guna at I nicub. Each big gun ia worked by what is j termed a "crew"— that is, a number of Bailors or marine artillerymen specially told off to it. The captain, or number one, as he is called, lays the gun and fires it— the other members of the "crew" Btand m a file to pass the projectiles and load the gun. There ii also a crew to each torpedo tube. These tnbea are now nearly all submerged. A Whitehead torpedo costs about £400. It has an effective range of 800 yds, and its war-head oarries a bursting charge consist ing of 188 ib of gun-cotton. The Whitehead is propelled through the water by a beauti fully-designed little engine, situated at its tail-end. The weapon can be seb to run at a given depth, m any given dlreotion, and either to float or sink at the end of its journey. It is fired from the tube by means of compressed nir or a powder oharge. Both for the torpedos and guna, the smartest men m the navy are chosen. These receive a cpeoial training m the schools on shore, and get extra pay for performing their duties. For a ship to make the most effec tive use of her armament everything depends upon the ekill of the crew. The ram is the one weapon that 18 manipulated by the cap tain. His objtot is to out-manoeuvre the enemy, so that he can bear down upon them without fear of their ramming his ship. "When the order to ram is given, everybody throws himself flat upon the deck to prevent being thrown down by the force of the . impact. Bamming is, however, a vevy risky opera tion, as although the captain may succeed m crashing a hole through the enemy's Bide, the enemy might probably blow up his ship by discharging her submerged torpedoes. , Our newer Lattleßhips, however, have a great superiority over foreigners m the greater height and steadiness of their gun nlatforms.

With either o these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it become! a power with incalculable good. ALAXUK is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action ia to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them tc activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila tioa of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow* This is common Bense and cannot be gainnaid.
