A feature of naval construi tion and war
farowhl' h ottractetl tho attention of ex
ports years ago and for a time was exceed
Inglv 'popular Is (h ram. The Idea of
putt'lnga short, stout spur out on tho item
of a vcssi'l, at or Is low the water ino, to
bo thrust Into an enemy's ship, hod oc
curred to designers of war v. -.'. a- early
as 11U. In that year then- was added to
the Ilrltlsh navy the Warrior so equipped
and to tho Trench navy the Magenta sim
llnrlv annisi. Hut tho final actual t -t of
thu ram, on which Its future largely de
iicndisl. occurred In JiJ8.
ThoConfisJeraU. ImiicIoiI Mcrrlmac Isiro
on her stem a spur which wo used upon
the Cumberland with such deadly effect
that tho latter vessel sank In a few mln
utii. Four year later, off the Island Of
1,1b. another Instruetlvo engagement was
fought. Admiral TegctthofT, the Austrian
commander, had n smaller fleet than tho
Italians under l'ersano, but he won a de
cisive victory. The chief mode of attack
was with the ram, and two of tho enemy's
beat ships, Including the lt ilTtnlln,
which bail Iss'ti the flagship of l'ersano up
to tho Is'gliinlng of the light, were sunk.
A third contribution to the world's
knowledge of tba posi hill ih s of the ram
w as made In 1N77 by tho l'cruvlans. Their
Huasoor stove a terrible hole in the Chile
an KsmerolduolT Iqulqtle. In conseqiienoa
of this Injuiy- 'ho K-t u nilda, although sho
hod fought with n""g pluck, quickly
went to tho Isittom.
Two much more M-. nt Illustrations of
the destruction which this weapon Iscapit
blo of working are cll.il by William Ixxl
yanl Cat heart In ('assler's Magazine. The
lir-t ..f then.' was (he tragic lo.-s of tho
Hrltlsh Imttleshlp ictorla In time or
pejev. Admiral Try,,:! was ittlng the
ships of his command, (he Mediterranean
squadron, through nn unusual maneuver.
The order given Involved cither a slip of
tho tongue or an SHOT of ealculatlon, but
It was Implicitly Obeyed, and within a few
minutes tho admiral saw the huge Cam-
perdown swung around ao thai she could
not avoid striking the flagship. Tho Vic
toria kept afloat for ten minutes, but when
sho sank sho bsik down :iil ollleers and
men, Including tho unhappy Tryon. This
Bvent ooouxiea in June, 1098.
U'ss lamentable In degnv, but not less
significant In character, was the disaster
that overtook the Cicrman warship Urosscr
Kurfurst, In is?, while ptis-mllng west
ward along the southern coast of Kngland.
Accompanying (his vessel and a little far
(her ollshon. was the Koiilg Wilhclm, an
armor boltnl frlgatoof U.iUKl tonsdlsplace
meiit. A small merchant vobbbI putting
to esa eroBBsd tbe Ikiw of the uermans
and conpelled them to turn their heeds
tetnsiranly Inshore. Tho KurftuA re
sumeil her former emirs., before the Konlg
Wilhclm did, and before the navigator of
either vessel re.illz.il (ho danger the Wil
hclm had run her ram Into hor consort's
side. The Kurfurst carried 0 officer and
hi men down with her.
Soon after the battle of Usse the British
admiralty Is'gan to develop a class of ves
el which wen' Intended to fight princi
pally with their rams. The Kupcrt and
tho Hotspur were low ironclads of U, -'00
and 1,000 ton and carrying one or two
gun In a turret well forward. Then
camo tho Hero and the Coicpi. mr, which
wcro bigger and more heavily armed.
These lattcrrarrl.il li luch guns and dls
pliici'd about 0,oou tons. The l'olyphemus
(lssl) was more exclusively u ram, for her
battery was a light one.
Tho next set of rams, built between
Hex) and 1808, and Including tho Furlout,
Vindictive, Arrogant and QladlatOT, WON
(hips of 6, TUo tons displacement and had
light armor and protected docks. Their
largest gun am of the", inch rapid On'
type. Tho projection from the stem is
massive, the bow Is strongly braced and
tho armor belt Is wider out forward than
ll.-cw here. In order to facilitate rapid
maneuvering them am two rudders, ono
just forward nt the screw and tho other
aft. Tho dead wood nt the stern la cut
aw ay so as to favor quick turning.
Theso and other war vessels of tho samp
general typo, not only In the Hrltlsh navy,
but also In the Meets of other nations, have
been called "ram cruisers'' to dl tlnguish
them from other cruiser. The light con
struction of the ordinary cruiser, whoso
function Is to hunt for tho enemy rather
than to fight blm, which is built for speed
rather thuu t . w It Inland ic ,.n'k. timludos
such collisions us n ram must encounter.
Consequently those ships which arc meant
to fight with spun on i!;. ir stems are
much mom strongly built, ispcckdly
about the bow.

American navy. The Fn nh battleship

plaOBfl 11,808 tons, while tho Italia, also
equipped w ith a ram, Is a TOBBOl of nearly
14,000 tons.
Tho fonuldablo character of the kind of
warfare her,' described will ! bettor real
ised if one will remember that the bhmeat
guns now us.il In the navy deliver projec
tiles only IS Inches In diameter, w hereas
a ram will cut a hoi big enough to admit
a two hOTM team. TegetthoS himself was
so shocked by hU aohleVOmcnl iu the bat
tle of Lima that he afterward saui:
"If 1 worn to live a thousand years, I
Would never rain another ship. The effect
produced U different from anything else
you have in naval warfam. i'cu nv the
vessel atteoked at one moment and the
next S0O men sliding into the sea, with tho
vessel follow lug them. You are left with
a perfect void, without any commotion,
without nny smoke, without anvthlng to
make one feel that lie was in linttle."
