I The article below written by [.Julius Muller, author of "The j Invasion of America," is not i . ■ only appropriate just at this sea son but is a rare literary pro ! duction : She is of 26,000 tons. Gray jas a thunderdimmed horizon, ; she weighs down the sea. She i oppresses it, not as a thing that 'floats but as something whose j sloping steel sides tumble home from a solid base built in ; the ocean. Upward she thrusts tall things that are not slim masts of an honest ship but riveted towers of girders and steel beams. She is the Armored Ship. She >. moves, and the ocean is stirred, i Her propellors take the waves ; into their bronze arms and whirl j |them into rapids whose spume! i hisses on a league of trouble j i track behind her. She pushes aside watery masses that roll I hugely, like the roller of the sea j itself, and contends with them •in white-flashing uproar. Man made, she treads the waters like God's hurricane. I She is the Dreadnaught. She moves at one with the inexorable J sea, for like that sea serves man 1 and slays him. The instruments for her dual purpose project from hooded vaults that mount | from her deck like the glacis of , terraced forts. Graceful as rac ing-spars are these long tubes, and still so great that even their grace cannot deny their brute mission. They point at the blank horizons, inanimate and yet with something that is like the glare of monsters unintelli gently alive. I She is the Wyoming. Twelve 11-inch puns they have set on j her—the little mortal men who, : i ! fifty years ago, would not have dared to mount a single such | steel volcano on a ship; the same i little men who, fifteen years ago, thought it daring experi j ment to mountifour on an armored craft. Poets of Destruction, they have laden the Wyoming with twelve, and below these twelve angels of annihilation they have dared to set twenty-one others. They are smaller guns, these twenty-one—so small that they are called the secondary battery. They are only 5 inches in di ameter at the muzzle. They are mere toys. At four miles their ! explosive-filled shell can dart through Harveyized steel as a circus rider leaps through a tissue-paper hoop. She is the Flag-ship of the Atlantic Fleet of the United States. On her stern, almost (whipping the beaten wake, is j ' that flag which was designed by ' a young rough Nation that had |no art and yet made it most j beautiful. In her flag lockers lie other ilags folded and stowed against an ominus day. They are banners many times as big as the one that she shows over her tafT-rail. If the day comes when these are hoisted to the summits of her laced towers, the ocean shall echo thunders never raised by hurricane or typhoon; for these are battle flaps. Many men that day shall swirl downward to the utter dark, to bed on the earth's ribs. They have freighted her with a thousand men. They have lavished on her all that science, art. wealth and foresight can provide. All of man's wisdom is centered in her—his mechanics, | his physics, his chemistry, his | astronomy, his mathemaf'cs, his i I lordship over fire, air and water and all so that, in some brief : hour, she shall destroy or be de stroyed. |"Vi lli'lil's !" 11 \•" !• 'Mt« t'.Mlt••r*'«l i ITV rowti if hi* \ i >\\ I;;". i V.'i-t i For Indigestion.
