THE MAKING OF WARSHIPS Miniature Men-of-War and Oce Liners.â€"Complete in Ev- ery Detail; The company in question are now building two new vessels for the British navy, the Duncan and Cornâ€" wallis. The museum boasts of a very fine model of these sister shirs. An inspection of it reveals the num- ber of guns the Warships will carry when completed. There are four 12in. breech-loading guns, twelve Gin. quick-firing, and 26 other guns to each vessel. There are also four torpedo dischargers, and a little nickel-silver torpedo is shown in the act of being fired. It. is not generally known that it "5 the custom of a large shipbuild- n‘s to first. make a. model of the proposed new battleship below: the keel is laid in the yard. There are neveral reaSous for doing Unis. J-‘ilst because it greatly facilitates the conâ€" Itruction of the vessel The lines of the ship are laid down from the nodel. working and other drawings we then made from these lines, and Elle material ordered from the model Lnd drawings, says London Anâ€" Iwers. These models are very elaborate Lfl‘airs. They take from two to six months to build, and cost, anywhere ‘rom $1,000 to $4,000, and even nore. All the large shipbuildcrs have a modelâ€"room, and a, visit to me of these museums is an interest- ing experience. In the model-room It the Thames Ironworks and Shipâ€" building Company some very fine specimens of model work may be leen. They are nothing less “than a laithful representation in miniature of some of the famous battleships of the day. Every gun and boat that the ships carry are represented on these beautiful toys. In all the models of Warships seen in this interesting museum the guns, large and small. are faithfully reâ€" presented. Complicated electric winches, regulation chain cables. tiny engines, battle hatches with gratings of iron bars, steering wheels â€"everything, in short, is of “ser- vice” pattern, even to the least block for the running rigging. Much of the work is qu1te as delicate as that done by any watchmaker, often requiring the use of a magnifying glass in finishing and adjusting the almost microscopic parts, and the m‘tisans engaged in this kind of work take an odd sort of pride in giving the toys capability of motion Wherever possiblehin other words, making them practical and real. The Gin. rifle that frowns from a port is almost as elaborate in its mechanism as the huge weapon which it imitates so accurately. Attached to the smoke-stack are a whistle and a. steamâ€"siren in miniature ; ventilators turn their ' gaping mouths to an imaginary breeze ; Ardois signals are ready to flash , and scarchlights are prepared to re- veal the approach of a prowling enemy. These exquisite examples of toy- making are, of course, the property of the builders. But the Admiralty make models of warships for their own use. that is to say, models of iach class of battleship. They are made at Chatham by mechanics spe- :ially engaged for the task. If any- thing, these miniature ships are {110110 elaborate than those turned out by the shipbuilders. From four to six months is the time spent on one model. The hulls, which are generally of yellow pine, are solid and in three pieces. After they have been cut to the right shape they are glued to- gether, and then chiselled and sand- {apered until the lines exactly reâ€" produce those of the battleship. The rudder and propeller shafts are then added. holes are bored for the win- dow ports. when the delicate Workâ€" the fittings of the (leekâ€"may be said to commence. The masts are of wood, but, painted to look like the hollow steel masts of a real battle- ship. The conningâ€"tower and chart- house are invariably clever pieces of carving. Each Window port is reâ€" presented by u bull’s~e_\‘e of glass set in a ring of math]. Most of the models are made to 3EAUTIFUL MODELS AND WHAT THEY COST.

Harland and Wolll', at Belfast, may be seen a magnificent model of the Oceanic. She is shown carrying 4.7 inch guns as she would appear if called upon in time of war. This beautiful model of the great; liner was made before the keel was laid in the yard, and the same plan was also carried out in the case of the giant Celtic, the largest vessel afloat. Few have any idea of the cost of the little miniature liners that one frequently sees in the windows of the great steamship companies. Many of these cost as much as $2,- 500; indeed, in one of the windows of a. Well known steamship line in Lon- don may be seen a model of (m At- lantic liner that cost $6,000 to con- struct. Model builders will tell you there is practically no limit to the expense which one may go to in building these charming little toys. Ten thousand dollars has been fre- quently given for a. 10 foot model of a ship, While in one of our museums there is a model of the old warship Victory which represents an outlay of $15,000. “ Pure soap 1” You’ve heard the words. In Sunlight S o a p you have the fact. What sort of a ruler has King EdWard VII. turned out to be?‘ To this question there is but one an- swer, both among the few who know and the many who can only guess. He has proved an admirable King, writes Sydney Brooks to the New York Commercialâ€"Advertiser from London. There is a. member of Lord Salisbury's Cabinet who is one of the three most pOWerful statesmen in the country. Many think him the most powerful states- man not only in the. country. but in the Empire. He was always a. par- ticular favorite with Queen Vicâ€" toria. He has been thrown into the closest relations, both private and official, with King Edward for the last fifteen years. Personally he dislikes the King. He disliked him ‘when he was Prince of Wales; he disâ€" ‘likes him now. I have known him to use seine startingly frank adjec- tives on the subject. His opinion of Edward VII. as a. King is not therefore influenced by any admiraâ€" tion for him as a. man. This makes all the more remarkable hisr deliber- ately expressed judgfinent that “from the day of his accession the King has done perfectly." He went on to say that the King's shrewdness and tact and industry and extraordinary quickness in grasping the point of an argument, or a situation has ASTONlSHED HIS MINISTERS. He especially praised His Majesty’s Efififlg‘ 2:13:12: With High and Low He Is a. Fav- orite for Good Cause. “manageableness.” The King has proved far more docile, more willing to surrender his 'private wishes, less crochety than was Queen Victoria. “He had not, made a single misâ€" take"; it was “a pleasure to work with him”; you could always “rely on the right thing being done ‘or said at the right. moment in the right way.” Above all, he is “a man you can convince”; he gives way with imperturbable good hu- mor, when he is satisfied that “reaâ€" sons of state" require the surrender of private schemes and inclinations. There is a. quality in' the King which only those in touch with him can accurately appreciate. For the .public his chief attraction remains in his instinct for combining pagean- try,. show and ceremony with Clem-i ocracy. The masses like to think of the King as “having a good time," attending the theatre. race course and polo ground just like any of his subjects, without fuss or unnecesâ€" sary delay or any of the military precautions that on the Continent convert, the simplest. incident into a. state event. They also like to think that when ceremony is necessary no one can be more ceremonial. On both accounts their opinion of the King is well justified. Ile gratifies them by being visible and public withâ€" out. cheapening the croWn, and by the apparent air of heartiness and goodâ€"fellowship he diffuses. At, the same time he gives them the pomp and glitter and stafeliness which no monarchy can safely dispense with. One talks of the popularity of Lord Rosebery and Mr. Chamberlain.
