(Limited) at Elswick, The Times weys-The event was one of the most important in the history of battleship construction on the Tyne, the raskel being the largest that has been put the fact that the ship was launched with her boilers, fanuels, and bridges in place.

The fan is used at all times and seasons the whole year round-it has no "off" poriod-and its manipulation is universal the wide world afme. Anto its origin, many logands are extant. one of the prettiest being that recorded by at authority on the subject. A Spanish story (duly told on a printed fan) has it that the first fan was a wing which Eapid tors from the backload thora. Another noteworthy feature was

In our "tight little island," says a writer in the Globe, the fari was nexdoubt-ily in the boyslay of its faïne in the eighlenth century, when it was carried by buligs in the streets of Fouden, The position these little playthings decupist in those days in social life was an important one - okaraatoristic of the age so pithily put on record by Pops when he wrote:

The company afterwards journed to the mould loft, where Sir Andrew Noble proposed to his Majesty's battleship Monarch." In doing so he said:

The Monarch, was any of the battleships in- fuded in the Admiralty proxtamme of 1909-10, and like the other vessels inotauled in that pro grane she was designed by Sir Philip Watts. Sho was the 43rd warship his company had had honour of building for the British Govern-

Here. This number comprised vessels of every clans, from the destroyer to the largest and most powerful battleship. The total displaos- ment of the 43 vessels amounted to 200,000 tons, end, the total displacement of the whole number of warships built by the firm was 500,000 tons. The koal of the Monarch was laid on April 1 last year, and, notwithstanding the strike, which lasted from the begining of September antil the middle of Desember, exception rconstruction.

That it gained for if the title of the instrument of coquetry saums to have been quite in the loss of things for wielding ranked almost a fine art with its complicated uses and its various meanings. Addison was so impressed with the fascination of the fan that he wrots "Women are armal with fans as men with sverde, and sometimes do are execution

Novortheless, this long-laudbd fan wasi not no formidable as the one Japanese commander of the past and on the bathield. It was of large proportions with an iron frame covered with thick paper.
