THE SMASHING OF THE BEL LEISLE.

NBW GUNS V. OLD SHIPS.

The important gunnery experiments on the obsolete turret ship Belleisle \ took place on May 26th last off Selsey ] Bill, on the Sussex coaßt. Dummy j bluejackets wpre placed near her guns,' splinter-nets sprpad under the o'd i dis-engined launch, the ship's bouts hung from their davits, while from her stack she threw n pennant of' smoke over the farthest rim of tho j horizon. The aim of the authorities ' was to have a target ns nearly resrmb- J ling a modern ship in action a< jossiblp. The Chnnnel Squadron sailed from Portsmouth on Friday, wh<n the Helleisle, which had hpen spe ially fitted with thick armour platfi, was towed round to her position, and on Saturday morning the torpedo boat destroyer flotilla proceeded to the spot to form a cordon round the firing *re», which was some two thousand yards from the shore. Uhs Lords of the Admiralty in their official yacht went frotri Portsmouth to witness the experiment, and a number of leading Admiralty officials were present on board the tag Hem Horse, The duty of firing upon the doomed ship devolved upon the Majestic, the ia&sMp of the spuadron, which turned her heavy batteries upon the Belleisle for ten n-iuutes, but in less than that time the old ship was internally shattered. Soaae idea of the power of tb,e Majeatic will bs gathered from the following facts. She is protected by Harveyed att-ei, 14in thick, she mounts four 12 inoh 46 ton wire wound guns, capable of firing abont three projectiles of 8501b eaoh in foar minutes, with a cordite charge of 167£!b , at a cost to the country of not far short of £130 par shot. £a*ides these great weapons, she carries twelve 6 inch quick firers— four on e^ch broadside of the main' deck, aud one at each angle of the upper deck, two being capable of firing] right ahead, and two right astern. Each of these weapons can fire as many as seven shots of 1001b weight each ft minute, and are supported by sixteen 12owtguni firing twenty I2pout;der projectile! a minute and by twelve 8 pounders and eight Maxims. Every kind of shot known in the Navy was ready for use against various portion of the doomed ship, armour piercing steel shot being directed at the central battery with its ten inches of iron armour, and at the complete belt, from six to twelve inches in thickness, round the ship's aides, while common shells and lyddite shells were also experimented wltb. It was directed that special care should be exercised in the use of the lyddite and common shel-e, the former being sent against the forward part of the ship and the latter aft, so that thfl results might; be noted. Almost the first lyddite shell fired pierced her hull, Others followed, and she sank shot riddled in shallow water. Immediately iring ceased, the cordon of destroyers drew round to prevent unauthorised persons approaching, and ac soon as the flames had beea subdued sufficiently the examining party went aboard. It is understood that, though her central battery was reduced to the condition of scrap iron, the special armour plating was not pierced, the shells thafc penetrated having gone through the unprotected and lightly armoured portions. Her interior generally is a hopeless wreck, and it is •tated that the result of the experiment will probably be to discontinue all use of wood in warships, The Bblleisle is to be towed into Portmouth as early as possible.

The Belleißle was originally designed not for tho British Navy, but for that of Turkey. In 1878 tho Payki Sher reef, a *hip of 3,870 tons, with armour varying at different parts of the vessel from 12in to 6in, was building at Poplar ; and thero being some danger of England and Russia getting to war, the British Admiralty purchased this vessol for £248,000, and the became the Belleisle. Qaickfiring guns were added to her armament, and machinery was kept in good condition, but beyond acting as a warship, the BeHeisle has »ver been of much use in the British .Navy. Her last service haa been as a forget to illustrate the destructive power of present; day shot and shell. — Dalhj News Weekly

An Artemus Ward Story

When Artemus Ward was tolpcture in a little place in the far west, a blissard -came up, and consequently the audience was small, '• After my lecture," said Artemaa, " I ventured to suggest to the chairman of the com mittee that the elements having been against me that evening, I might repeat my talk later on in the season. After conferring with his fellow committeemen, the chairman came back and said to me: 'We haven't any objection at ail to your repeating your lecture, but the feeling is that yoa had better repeat it in some other town.'
