know that any such ability is claimed for her.
The greatest difficulty would be that the crew
would have very dark and close quarters in
the cabin. The models of the new Monitors
are slightly altered to make them much better
sea boats, and to give them greater speed. They
VIII be propellers, like the Monitor, with deck
close to the water-line
The World gives a detailed description of
Whitney's new gunboat, now going up at the
Dry Dock Iron Works, and of those in pro-
cess of construction at Jersey City, Boston,
Brooklyn and Philadelphia, but the details
are almost purely technical, and differ so
slightly from those given above, that we do not
think it worth while to copy them. The fol-
lowing is interesting, relating to
THE GUNS FOR THE NEW MONITORS.
The impossbility of firing missile from the
Monitor Of sufficient weight to break through
the sides Of such a vessel as the Merrimac, led
to the building of the new vessels of a size that
would obviate any such difficulty. The Moni-
tor had 11-inch guns, firing shells weighing 1859
pounds with about II pounds of powder. New
guns, of a size that has never been used before
in naval warfare, are being now constructed at
Fort Pitt, Pa for the new gunboats, and seve-
raj of them have arrived at the BROOKLYN Navy
Yard One of them at the yard, alone weighs
1902 pounds. The Scientific American speaks
of this class of guns as follows:
"The total length Of each will be thirteen
feet five inches; depth of bore hundred and
thirty inches; diameter of bore fifteen inches !:
greatest diameter forty-eight inches; diameter
at the muzzle in the rough thirty-eight inches.
This muzzle, however, is to be turned off to
twenty-six and half inches, and from thence
taper up to nothing at the base line IA line
struck through at the base of the cylindrical
bore.) The thickness of metal outside of the
bore at the base line will be sixteen and half
inches; from this line to the outside of the cir
Gle II will be twenty-four inches. A small ta-
pering gas chamber win be formed behind the
bore at the base line, a hole one-ffth of an inch
will be drilled one inch back from the centre,
then carried straight up the top forming the
vent These guns, when finished, will not only
be the largest but the best and most beautiful
navy guns i'm the world. They are not to be
cast solid, as has been usual with navy guns
heretofore, but they will be cast hollow and
cooled upon Capt. Rodman's principle. 1t
would be impossible to obtain good sound,
solid casting of such size, hence the neccssi-
ty for casting hollow. Under Major w. Wade,
experiments were made with an S-inch Colum-
bad cast solid at Fort Pitt works, and another
cast hollow, and cooled inside with water; also
with two 10-inch Columbiads, one made solid
and the other cast hollow, each pair having
been cast from the same metal and furnace.
The result showed the hollow cast guns to be
much the strongest
Each of the Monitor class of vessels armed
with them will be able to hurl shot weighing
425 pounds, which is nearly three times the
weight of the round shot fired from the largest
Armstrong guns yet made for the British
navy"

important that the Congregational churches should

reasonable man can ask for better organ than the
