BOSTON STEAMERS

The United States Navy.

Following up the apparently sound idea of heavily armored monitors of large ton- nage, Carrying iew bul heavy guns, and of a high rate of speed, plans are now in pre- paration for two single turreted monitors vf 3,500 tons displicement, desigued for speed of 18 knots, and to carry a 16-inch} jrifled gun, throwing a shell of a tun weight eaiculaied to pierce 30 inches of wrougiit iron. These tonniges ought to furnish a strong hint to the Britis Adimiralcy, to which we would also commend a consi ier- ation of what we conceive to bs a very iim- portant point— tre reductiou of drait vy expansion ot beam. Lu this comuection we particularly point out the dimeusi ns «of the new armor battle-ship Texas, tu bs vuilt at Norfolk. Her displ cement is 6,500 tous, length 290 tt., beam 64 it., draugnt 225 tt., speed 17 knots; her armament is to be two 10-iach, six G-inch, and 25 machine guns.

The Maine # simitar ship, has dimen- sions and armament siightiy different. Her tonuage is 6,000 tons, iength 310 fc., breadth 57 ft., draugit 21s ft., with an jarmament of two 12-iach, six 6-inch, and 21 machive guus, and also with the osti- mated speed of 17 kuots. These two are the only armvured ships as yet disigued apart trom the mumiters, but trey will be very powertul vessels, and fitted with every possible modern scientitic appiiance. Their heavy guus will have an extreme range of about nine miles, with 4 500 Jb. projectile jand a charge vf 260 ibs. ‘Tuey are turret- ed and will have 11 inches of armor, but no sail power.

The next largest vessels are the unarmor- ed stecl cruisers Chicago (nearly completed) Baltimore and Pailadeiphia (both build- ing.) ‘These are of 4,500 tuns, 354 ft. ] ngth, 48 ft. beam, 19 ft. depth, 16 knots speed, and 12 guns.

Next in order the Newark and Sdn Fran- cisco (both building) of 4,100 tons, 328 it. length, 49 it. beam, 19 ft. draught, and an estimated speed of 18 and 19 knots. They will carry twelve 6-inch rifled guus, eleven machine guns, and six torpedo tubes.

The Charleston is of 3,700 tons displace- ment, lea’th, 320 ft., breadth, 46 it., depth, 18 ft., speed, 19 knots, armament, six 6- finch, two 8-inch, and fourtcen machine guns. She was launched in July, and was built after the plausot a Japanese cruiser, coustructed by the tirm of Armstrong, in England.

The Boston and Atlanta are 500 tons jsmalier, dispiacing 3,200. They are sister ships, with a lengch of 283 feet, breadth of 42, and depth of 17 feet, and carry an arm- ament siwilar to that of the Caarileston. The Boston is nearly completed, but the Atlanta has made several cruises, and given satistaction in every respect, being a good sea boat, and furnishiag a good gun plat- form. Her maximuin speed is 16 knots, and it may be here remarked, that no ship ever yet iaunched, especisily men-of-war, ever came within a knot or two, and often more, of the speed expected of them

The Yorktown, Beanington and Concord are smaller sister ships; of 1,700 tons, 226 feet in length, 36 ft. beam, 14 feet draught, and estimated for 18 knots. All the smaller ships are looked upou by the Americans as *‘commerce destroyers,” and both these and the larger ones stow a supply of coal which would enable them tu steam from 5,090 to 9,000 miles and keep the sea for from three to five weeks. The armament of these three ships is six 6 inch, six ma- chine guns, and eight torpedo tubes.

The Dolphin, 1,500 tons, is a despatch boat, armed with one 6-inch, aud six Hoteh- kiss guns, 3 and 4 pounders.

When we think of the wretched little l gunboats like the Ready, of 450 tons, it is significant to find the Peterel of 870 tons, 175 feet length, 31 ft. beam, and 12 teet

Ydraught, spoken of by the American writers

as a ‘** sinall guaboat.”

The Americans are well satisfied with their guns, and it will be seen that in a year or so they will possess a fleet which, though, as Lt. Fullam says, is only about one-tenth the effective force of Eugiand or France, will yet be of very superior ships |

and dash of American naval officers woud ; make formidable enough.

The completion of all the ships now building will give the United States seven ironclads and fourteen unarmoured ships of different sizes. —Exchange.

Celery is an article of food that is coming more into favor as its medicinal properties come to light. Are you nervous, irritable, or out of sorts?

The Public Debt of France.

An elaborate article recently appeared in the Ecovomiste Francais on the public debt of France. The most usual est mate of the cap ited of the debt is sud to be £1,300,- 000,000 nglish money, but the most mod- (Ya'e estimate places it at a few millions lower. M. Paul Leroy-Beauliea places it at £1,25 ),000,009; bat M Srroum, the writer in the Economiste puts ic at £1,- 180,000,009. The latter, however. omits £36,090,00) of lie aunnities econoniist have treated as part of the capital of the det. The annual charge for interest and siuking fund on the entire debt, including tue life annuities, is £51.699,000. Of the iunded debt, about £590,090 009° are por- petual three per cents, £271,500,000 per- petual fouranda hilf per cents,, and £195,- 0J0,009 redeemmabie bunds of various des- criptious, Annuities to divers companies and corporations of £95,009,000 and £40,- 009,009 of floating debt make upthe baiance of Mr. Stroum’s total. This is by far the heaviest burden borne by any nation on the ylobe. The nearest approach to a is the debt of Russia, which is stated at £721,- 000,000. #ngland is next with a national debt proper of £713,009,000, and = Italy next among European nations w th £445, 099,090, Mhe debt of Austria is about £570,090,009, and of Hangary, £127,009,- 000. The debt of Spain is, in round num- bers, £241,500,000 and that of Prussia £200,000,000. England and Prussia are the only nations which raise suilicieut re venue to guarantee aperaanentequilibiiam of the buuget.

Wheat from Seed 5,0/0 Years Old.

A most interesting experiment culmi- nated to-day inthe raising of sume wheat grown from wheat as old as the exodus. (he experimenter is David Drew, who last year received froma friend in Alexandria, Egypt, some grains of wheat taken from a mummy exhumed near the ruins of Mem- phis, and beluvging, it is believed, to the period of the ninth dynasty, which would make it grown about 5,000 years B. C., or nearly 5,000 years old. He planted the seed early in the spring, and carefully nursed it. It grew rapicly, and at the time of cutting measured from six and a half te seven feet high. The leaves alternate on the stock like common wheat, but the pro- duct of the plant is the most singular part of it, for, instead of growing in an ear like modern corn, there is a heavy cluster of small twigs in place of the spindle which hangs downward from its weight, and each twig is thickly studded with kernels, each of which is in a separate husk. From what is threshed a larger crop will be grown next year, as the result proves this to ex- ceed in quality anything modern grain can grow. — Cincinnati Enquirer.
