THE BROOKLYN.

This startling novelty in cruiser con-
struction is new method of securing
draft, and has excited much discussion,
In warships, where natural draft is
lacking, some method of forced draft is
q necessity. One way is by air forced into
the Theoretically sealed fireroom, menacing
the health OF the stokers, and in the other
it is delivered under pressure into the
CRATE, causing a heat about the bars that
quickly makes them useless The high
smokestacks are better than either, so far
as draft is concerned but they will fur
nish good objects for the enemy to aim at.
They are therefore made to bear deal Of
pounding and guyed up separately, SO that
if one is destroyed the other will still be
effective.
The Brooklyn is 412 feet long, with a
beam of So feet Her draft is % feet
inches, and she has displacement Of 7,400
tons. Her battery will include one Sinch
and two 6-inch breechloading steel rifles,
eight 4-inch rapid firing guns, twenty
1-pound and 6-pound rapid firing guns dis
tributed about her decks, four machine
guns and six torpedo tubes. The 6 and
S-inch rifles will be protected by heavy
shields attached to their carriages. Her
hull is protected by steel plates four inches
thick amidships, tapering to two inches at
the stem and stern. The deck armor Is
from ~ to four inches thick, according to
It's arrangement, and the steel plates on
the coming tower and ventilating tubes
are five inches in thickness. The engines
are of the triple expansion type, with 81,
600 horsepower. Under very favorable
circumstances she will be able to steam
twenty two knots an hour, and even unde,
great disadvantages her speed will enable
her to catch almost anything that floats.
