THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1898-24 PAGES. 21 THE NEW BATTLE SHIP. ez PRIDE OF THE NAVY Our Three New Battle Ships Soon to Be Built, WILL SOMBINE ALL THAT IS BEST Description of Their Heavy Batter- ies and Armament. ————.___ FLOATING FORTRESSES Written for The Evening Star. HAT OUR SHIPS IN service have alread done will only give Gy added interest to the | ships that Congress, | , by act approved May | Ip ! 4 of the present year, has just provided for, + and in the namesake of the fateful Maine and her sister ships | e Missouri and the Ohio we shail find vessels amply quali- fied to maintain the ge of the navy and the tradi- | of old glory. to the present exigencies of the and the desire to have the vessels | ng as soon as possible, it was deemed | to have our three latest battle ned much on the lines of the pe, now well along, but with such nents as the course of construction and certain mechanical advances had point- ed out as wisest. The same light draft of the IL »is class has been retained, by which the ships will be able to operate in | waters ordinarily denied to foreign craft of | anything like the same power, and there is good reason to believe that this admirable feature will be of inestimable value under the conditions likely to be imposed upon us as a result of our present confiict.

These guns will have » of quite five or six times al time sending a 100-pound cing or explosive shell on _ it demolition. All armor from six would wither before the nh attack. Heavy Batteries, with the 1,100-pound shot of % ch. guns the 6-inch shell does not peem so formidable, but it is in {ts fre- quency of fire that it will tell most against the lighter defenses of similar pieces on ether ships. In idition to the main and secondary batteries there is an auxiliary force of e@ixteen 6-pounders, four 1-pounders and gne automatic Colt gun and a couple of feild pieces for ianding parties. The @-pounders, intended especially to repel torpede boats and te enfilade the unpro- tected portions of an enemy, are mounted on the berth deck way aft, on the main eck forward and up on the bridges for- ward and aft, giving a complete circle of fire from bow to stern, and making it ut- terly impossible for torpedo boats to creep Up within the shelter of “dead angles” of any sort. The Colt and:1-pounder guns are mounted in the two military topa on each | Mast, where they will command a good | agains: the tops of the enemy, and also the unguarded positions of the light ung fn @ foeman’s superstructure. These mall guns have shown thelr wonderful four down morm of su ‘iveness already in our present war, with an individual output of something twenty aimed shots a minute it is | tapers ) Shot | ali of the | be fe | have been highly | lower half of each mast possible to keep up a perfect hail of pro- jectiles. It was these very 1 and 6-pound- ers on the Gloucester that knocked out the two Spanish torpedo-boat destroyers. Two Torpedo Tubes. Each ship will have two torpedo dis- charges, one on each broadside, and these tubes will be arranged to fire under water. In this particular these ships will be a dis- | tinct departure from all our other battle ships and, too, a decidedly emphasized ad- vance.. The above-water torpedo discharge, even when generally housed behind heavy armor, has been looked upon as very dan- gerous to the ship itself. To fire the tor- pedo the protecting shutter had to be raised, and at once there was an opening for a chance shot from the enemy to strike the war head and to hoist the vessel with its own petard. With the submterged tube, lately perfected, it is possible to fire the torpedo from below the water line and safe from the reach of an enemy's gunfire. The advantages must be apparent to the most unnautical of laymen, while to the wiser ones it is evident that the torpedo becomes at once safer for its friends and a much more dreaded instrument of destruction to its enemies. The ships are defensively very strong and are coated with a mail of toughened armor throughout every vital portion. A water- line belt seven and a half feet wide, four feet of which les below the water at nor- mal draft, reaches from aoreast the after turret forward to the stem. Throughout the length of ‘the ship amidships from tur- ret to turret this side belt has a top thick- ness of sixteen and one-half inches and to nine and one-half at the ed; below the waterline, the defensive quality of the surrounding water making up for the difference. A broad band of cornpith cellulose, the obturating properties of which are weil known, will automatically plug all holes admitting water and will aid materially in preserving the stability of the craft when the unarmored ends have been riddied. So long as the waterline re- gion remains intact and the major part of the great number of watertight subdivis- jong remain unflooded the ships will float. And so long as their guns in the great tu rets are undamaged and the 6-inch unsilenced these ships will be antagon to be dreaded, even though the smaller guns be swept away and the unprotected ends of the ships be riddled like a sieve. Conning Towers. A conning tower ten inches thick just be- low the chart house ang just abaft the for- ward turret will be the fighting station for the captain, while another armored station six Inches thick, to the rear of the main- jes | mast, will be a sigral station and a con- venient fighting position for the admiral Each place will have the amplest means of communication with all important positions within the ship. The ships will carry unusually large elec- trical plants, with outputs sufficient to me: dened applications of electrict- rhe turrets will be turned by elec. ity, the ammunition will be hoisted fro: below and rammed into the guns by elec- tricity, all ventilation below the armored or protective deck will be by electric fans, the ships wili be lighted electricaily, and the great search lights, of which there will ur, will be fed from the same electri- cal source of energy. We are leading the world in this widespread use of electrical power for the management of our great guns and turrets, and the results, so far, gratifying. Two Sets of Engines. The ships will each be driven by two sets of triple-expansion engines, actuating twin screws, and each in its own water-tight compartment. These engines will be of tha | four-cylinder type—the high-pressure cylin- der having a diameter of 30 inches, the in- termediate-pressure cylinder a diameter of 452 inches, and each of the two low-pres- sure cylinders a diameter of 53 inches. Eight great single-ended steel boilers, in four separate water-tight compartments, will supply the needful steam at a working pressure of 210 pounds—an increase of 80 peunds pressure over that for the other battle ships. At full speed the vessels would have a steaming radius of five days, | while at a ten-knot jog they could cover quite 3,500 miles on their coal allowance of 200 tons, and, with their bunkers packed and about five hundred additional tons stewed elsewhere, the ships would have a correspondingly increased range. Auxiliary Engines. Like all of the other modern ships, these vessels will have the usual assortment. of umerous auxiliary engines for pumping, draining, hauling, lifting and the Nke—not to mention distilling plants, refrigerating plants, and the other mechanisms to go to aéd to both the comfort of the men and the general efficiency of the vessels, und especially to limiting the tax upon the fighting crew to their strict work at the guns. There will be a separate electrical signal code on each mast, to be worked from at least two convenient stations; and the will ‘be a vast ventilator, down which fresh air will be drawn for the depths below the protective deck. The provision of Congress limits tl of each vessel, exclusive of armo: and armament, to not more than three millions of dollars; and ft is reasonable to aysume that none will cost, by contract, more than that bid for the Wisconsin—a sister ship in many particulars, 1. @., $2,674,000. ——.—__ IN THE CHURCHES cost It igs understood that immediately fol- lowing the resumption of studies in the colleges here steps will be taken to ad- vance what ts known as the-students’ vol- unteer movement. The purpose of this movement, as explained by one who is very earnest, in its promotion, is to enlist students for forelgn mission service, to help prepare them for their life work, and to lay an equal burden of responsibility for the world’s evangelization on all stu- dents who are to remain at home. The field of the movement is the thous- ands of institutions of higher learning of the United States and Canada. It has on its rolis the names ef about 4,000 volun- teers. Already over one thousand have sailed to mission fields under the regular mission boards. Over three thousand stu- dents a1» making a thorough study of the missions in over two hundred colleges and seminaries. The students have been lead to give $40,000 a year to the misstons, and are seeking to sfir up the ehurehes and millions of members of Christian societies of young people to enlarge their giving, so that all the volunteers may be sent. The- work has not only spread to the colleges of all Christendom, but also of all mission lands, so that today the Christian students in over eight hundred institutions, on five continents, and of all races, are united in an aggressive effort to extend Christ's kingdom speedily throughout the world. ‘Under the influence of this movement the subject of wide, world-wide missions = orgs ee ae on the convic- ms of the students, is calling from them moré enthusiasm and achish Gevotion than any other idea.

EB, Church, who recently visited Ws and con- ferred with Secretary Day ability of forming a closer alliance be- tween the United States and the Republic of Liberia, is about to make a tour of this country, ‘with the view of informing Americans of what he learned while in Africa, from which continent he has just returned.

He estab- lished eighty-five missionaries there at an annual conference and visited many mis- sions. He went 2,000 miles up the Congo by caravan, there being seventy-five peo- ple in his party. The bishop headed the caravan, traveling in hammock, on bul- lock and on foot. Large amounts of pro- visions were taken for the missionary sta- tions, each native in the party carrying at least 100 pounds on his head.
