NAVAL ARMAMENTS.
EXPERIMENTS ON A FRENCH WARSHIP. United Press Association— ctopyuioht PARIS/ Nov. 2. • Experiments -upon the disabled warship Jena showed that the guns beat the armor in every instance, and proved that no vessels were sufficiently protected against the latest types of projectiles ' also, that it is essential for the whole vessel to be uniformly protected. French vessels are considered to be better protected than those of other nations. A Danton would float though dismasted, while a Dreadnought or a German Nassau would sink like the Russian vessels at Tsushima if hit below the water-line.
