Six war vees•1s have just. been completed
for the. Britian navy. They are called the
"admiral" ship; from being named for fa.
mous admirals. One of these, justlaunched,
is the Befibow„ It Wail built at the Thames
iron works, BlackwalL The admiral ships
are all of the so•oalled citadel type. This
•class of .vessels leave their ends, exposed at
the tsa ?r line, and armor heavily a>pddshipa,
Cjn ti. a apcoint they have been bitterly
criticised,
The Benbow is, however, the most notable
vessel of her class in. the British navy. She
is different from eters in that she carries,
the two meat ' powerful naval guns in the
world. They are 110 -ton breech loading
cannon. They are 43jg feet long, and fire
an 1,800 -pound ball, To.- give this tremens
dons projectile a send -o$ requires 900 pounds
of powder.' - It would be rather expensive on
the Fourth of July.

. M. S. BENBOW.
'The Beubow cannon is more powerful
than the famous Krupp' 110 -ton gun. That
weapon fires with a muzzle energy of 40:061
foot tons. The Bonbow's'gun has ee muzzle
energy of '61.200 foot tons. It is calculated
that it . will pierce a wrought iron armor
plate over thirty inches thick. Itis a roarer, •
no•mistake. •
Like•-meet-ofthese-great guns and' great -
ships, however, the Benbow and her huge
cannon era probably more formidable on
paper than anywhere else. They are very:
• rarely indeed brought into real action. They
seryo more vo impress the public mind than
anything. else. '
- The Benbow's•big :guns are seen at; each'
end of the ship, sticking out like a telescope
drawn cut. , They are very thick at 'the
breach, : and get smaller and lighter. "by
jumps toward the muzzle.' They are tined
on the top of revolving armor -plated • iron
towers, Thdt style sof ':mounting a' gun is,
called "in'barbette.": The guns are loaded
by running them back and lowering the
breech. •'

ceeded in directing this auid and em-
ploying it in various useful ways, but
of its origin nothing is or can
be known, save that' it issues
from. the stars and returns thither
when ite work is done. That this fluid
exerts some influence on the world and
ite affairs is sufficiently droved by the
fact that the earth is entirely dependent.
on the light, and heat of the sun for the
existence and continuance of animal
and vegetable life, andthat the ebb and
flow of the earth's tides and the continu-
ance of various ether phenomena on
the•earth are dueto the influence of the
moon.. If the influence of the moon
and sun be such, there can bo no reason
to doubt that the great planets will also
show their power, though perhaps their'
influences may not be so directly sob-
servable as in - the: oases already men-
tioned...

effect produced by this fluid on human'
beings, u
o h
.of .th
g, .p a what part c human
sybtem is this effect made manifest, and.
ht
w a tratces'does itleave of its passage?
ei
In answer to these questions the author
res that the hands -are the instru-
nts of the soul's life, are the chief
seats of sensation, and consequently are
themost prominent centers of activity
of the astral fluid. The hands indicate,
by their mounts -and 'lines, the degree.
and amount of absorption of : the astral
fluid of which each individual is capa-
ble. And the ceaseless passage of this
fluid leaves its traces, thus recording
the events of life as intelligibly, to those
who •can read this • peculiar language, as
if it were written, in letters of. fire.
In"regard to. the linos of the hand, it
is sometimes suggested by unbelievers
that these are caused by opening and
closing' the hand, or by later. Butthat
is not the case, as is -'sufficiently proven
by'the fact that intelligent men, and in-
telligent women, who have never done,
