filled with water for ballast. AT q
glance the vessel looks like a Cross be-
tween man-of-war and an oil tanker.
There is not mast or spar throughout
her length of 285 feet.
The shape OF the leviathan Longitude
nally is its oldest feature. The prov
and stern are exactly alike. Both run
to blunt point on line with the apex
of the deck. The forward turret, in
addition TO concealing a gangway for
the crew, protects the machinery that
operates the two enormous anchors on
either side of the PROV. These anchors
are Of unusual size and one is of un-
usual pattern. It Is shaped like an i'm
mense triangle, at the base of which is
a heavy heart shaped tongue that drops
out and becomes impedded in the bot
tom. The other anchor is of the old
conventional pattern.
The deck of the vessel is gently slop-
ing more like the back of turtle than
that of q whale. From the deck house
at the stern to the forward turret are
succession Of hatchways about ten feet
square, They are of solid steel, one inch
thick, and when at sea theae arc bolted
down, and the seas may wash over the
entire hull without doing any damage.
The twenty-five officers and crew have
hO OusAhuoS Oh Luo ucCh WHcH dt sea.
The quarters of the crew is below decks
forward, and to reach them the men
have to climb up the turret and go down
through it to their hunks. They are
nearly all employed in the boiler and
engine rooms aft, which are reached by
sub-deck passage way.
The feature that gives the odd craft
an almost grotesque appearance is the
deck house at the stern, which con-
tains the wheel house and officers
quarters. 1t is perched up on eight
foot iron pillars, and contains in its
structure the only woodwork on the
vessel. 1t Is built Of iron and oak, both
outside and in. The wheelhouse. di-
rectly in front and above it, is sort of
an observation deck that does duty for
the "bridge" on the ordinary ocean
steamer.
On the roof of the deck house are the
life boats and RATS, fire buckets and
two tanks that supply the officers
quarters. Under the quarters are the
three turrets that protect the ma
chinery. The deck or back of the ves-
sci ID roped with wire ropes on movable
iron uprights.

Terrible Double Tragedy.
BLooMINaToN, Ills, Sept. 8. - DR..
Charlee e. Ballard, of Saybrook, Ills.,
and Miss Bertha Ison, late of Baker
City, Ore, and daughter Of the late
Judge Luther B. Ison, of the latter
place, were the parties to sensational
tragedy in this city. DR.. Ballard came
TO this city last Friday and secured a
license to mary Miss Ison, who came
here with her widowed mother month
ago to attend college.
All day Saturday Ballard engaged in
attempts to get Miss Ison to elope with
him, and Sunday visited her frequently
and begged her to become his wife. She
thought much of him, but begged him
to postpone the event until after her
education was completed. Ballard took
his leave, bidding her last adieu, say
ing he would go to Chicago, never to
return to bother her.
Yesterday, however, he appeared at
her house and asked to see Miss Ison
just for moment. The interview was
granted. and while in the parlor Ballard
suddenly produced revolver and shot
her twice, once in the temple and once
through the heart, killing her instantly.
With the smoking revolver still in his
hand he rushed wildly to the garden in
the rear of the e-house, and there shot
himself five times, once in the hand and
four times in the region of the heart.
He died in few minutes.
