to the present time. For this purpose
a large collection has been made bv
Chief Smith in foreign lands, from the
ancient chariot that antedates Christ
to the latest thing out.
In modern carriages there is every
thing, from a baby carriage up to the
finest carriage that has been built.
Some of these vehicles cost $4,000
each, and are really works of art. For
eign countries contribute to this divis-
ion, France having sent fifty carriages
from her best builders. Austria sent
eighteen carriages from six of her best
manufacturers. England and Germany
also make large exhibits, so that the
industry Of both continents is well rep
resented. In the foreign collection of
historical exhibits from London is o
Lord Mayors state coach, drag that
belonged to the Prince Of Wales. and
an old chariot. A sedan chair from
Colombia stands beside one from Tur-
key, and near by are a jinrikisha from
Japan, carriage once owned by Presi-
dent Polk, and the coach of Daniel

section of one Of their new steamers.
Imagine the longitudinal and transverse
section of ship abaft the smokestack
90 feet long and 1876 in beam. The in
terror fittings, furnishings, and decor
alton Will be the same as used on the
magnificent steamers on that line.
This is the most interesting exhibit,
showing fully the facilities of these
vessels for the comfort of ocean travel.
Wheeled Vehicles of Every Kind.
But If railways and ships are inter-
esting, what is to be said of the wheeled
vehicles? The floor space occupied by
this division embraces 10000 square
feet, and it is all fitted up with wood
carpet in white oak strips, laid out in
handsome patterns and finished in oil.
Each space is surrounded with hand
some ornamental brass railing and
posts. This exhibit occupies the entire
north end of the main building and the
annex and about Qne-half of the north
gallery in the main building. On the
first floor are exhibited carriages,
wagons, and vehicles of every descrip-
ton. In the gallery are displayed bi-
cycles, carriage and wagon hardware
and saddlery goods. There is histor-
zeal array of vehicles, saddlery goods,
and bicycles. An effort has been made
to show the evolution of these indus
tries from their primitive origins down

predominated. Among the largest
vessels turned out there are the
Susquehanna of 2,728 tons burden
and the Roanoke of 1892. The
Roanoke is, in fact, the largest
wooden ship afloat, and there is but
one larger sailing craft on the ocean,
the fve-masted steel built France.
The Roanoke is also the largest
American ship ever built but one,
the Great Republic, which was
launched in 1853. Notwithstanding
the superior size of the Roanoke, she
has not so good a record for fast sail
ing as the Susquehanna, which beat
her in recent trip from New York
to San Francisco around the Horn, :"
the Susquehanna's time being 1922
days, while the Roanokes was 1875.
Though both are wooden vessels,
they are fine specimens of the ship
builders art, all the latest ideas be-
ing embodied in their construction.

Ing out from the annex like a herd Of
elephants, full section of colossal
ocean steamship, and scattered about
here and there, thousands of objects
that tell the story of how man has
gradually annihilated space.
The invention and development of
the locomotive and railway system is
the nineteenth century wonder. Less
than sixty-eight years since the first
passenger railway ran its first crude
train. Now the great civilizer has
penetrated every country. About ten
acres of ground floor space are devoted
exclusively to exhibits pertaining to
railway construction, equipment, ope-
ration, management and development.
Sixty-four modern locomotives of all
types and sizes from the two one-hun-
dred ton Decapod engines which stand
on the pedestals between the Admins
tration Building and the railway sta
ton to the five ton logging locomotives
for use in the forests of Michigan. All
the leading makers exhibit one or
more modern locomotives, some being
raised from the rails and showing the
machinery in operation by compressed
air. Besides these there are a score or
more of magnifcently equipped coach
es and thirty-fve freight cars, en-
bracing every variety by the leading
builders in the country. Among the
other attractions are two Leslie
rotary snow plows, centrifu-
gal snow excavator and Russell
snow pillow, fourteen steam shovels
and locomotive travelling crane, a
light and heat tender of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul Railroad, and
the dynamometer of the Chicago, Bur-
hngton and Quincy road. All this rep
resents steam transportation as it is
now, but the most fascinating part of the
railway show-more so even than the
mighty engines and the solid mahogany
train from Canada-is the display of
relics, models, old engines and cars and
specimens OF the quaint roadways of
earlier days. 1t is the first time that
such work has been undertaken, and
Mr.. T. Hackworth, of the railway de-
partment, has gathered q complete
historical collection. For instance, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has for
more than year past been making ex-
tensive preparations for it's historical
exhibit, which includes about thirty
full size wooden models of the earliest
locomotives built in this country and
In England, with samples of original
tracks. phree of the Grasshopper type
of engine, the old locomotives Sam
son" and Albion" built in England
and shipped to Nova Scotia in 1888, and
other specimens Of the very early To-
comotives are among the attractions.
The models are all to be shown with
machinery in operation. That is one
of the delightful things about the sec
ton.

Great Britains principal ship build
ing firms have sent a magnificent col
lection of models of all kinds. The
period of iron ship building is well rep
resented, both in the models of passen-
ger and freight steamers as well as in
the collection of British men-of-war.
Unfortunately the period after the
restoration Of Charles H. and through
the NapoleOnic wars is not included.
for with models of the great three
decked sailing battleships which were
for so many years England's bulwark

would be reasonably complete. AT the

triumphs of naval architecture, as IL
Illustrated by the modern ocean grey

and curious craft from semi-civilized
and barbarous tribes, showing how
they solved problems of transportation
by taking advantage of the materials
on hand, whether of bark or logs of
wood or skins of animals. There is a
complete exhibit from Alaska and the
Aleutian Islands. consisting of two
hatch bydarka, with complete hunting
outfits, and from the sea coast of Nor
ton Sound hatch bydarka, with the
full outfit used in both hunting and
fishing: birch bark canoes from the
Upper Yukon River: sleds, dogs har-

Hudson Bay country shows all the
methods of water transportation known
in that country. From Southwest

They will build no more big wood

chief city Of timber ship yards in the
United States. The biggest yard
there has just put in a steel plant,
and steel ships will soon be produced.
Bath is a shipbuilding city to the

and a half ago, and though the in

Its site was fixed upon by the set

the shores of which between the city
and the sea are rugged and abrupt.
But at Bath there is not only enough
comparatively level ground for a

THE MONITOR PURITAN.
A Very Wicked Ship That Unole
Sam Is Building.
An Ugly Armored Monitor Carrying -Four
Ponderous Guns and . Regular
Arsenal of Lighter Weapons
Aer Fighting Strength.

The dou ble-turreted monitor Puritan,
a much larger vessel than the Mainton-
omoh, and differing from her in some
essential points, was until recently the
largest armor-clad vessel projected by
the navy department.
The Puritan was begun in 1878 at the
shipyard of tho late John Roach, Ches-
ter, Pa. She is 2s6 feet 8 inches long,
with 60 feet ~ inches greatest breadth
and draught of water of Is feet. Her
| displacement is $3.50 tons, while that of
the Miantonomoh is only 5000 tons.
She carries four 12-inch breech-load-
ing guns in two turrets and six finch
rapid-fre guns protected by armor
shields or sponsors, besides fourteen
other guns of smaller caliber.
After the assignment of the ship
building firm of John Roach in 1885 the
Puritan was taken first to the navy
yard, League island, for an engine trial.
and afterward to the navy yard at Nor
folk with the intention of having her
completed at that yard. She was sub
sequently taken to the navy yard, New
York, where she is now nearing COM
pletion.
1t was the original intention to have
her finished similarly to the Miantono-
moh-that is, her 12-inch guns were to
have been placed but few feet above
the deck, or so low as to render them
useless in a moderate seaway. All
around the base of the turret, which
passed through the armored deck, was
a clearance space of four inches-equal
to an area Of twerty-four square feet
covered with thin flexible flap secured
to the turret and resting loosely on the
deck around the opening. This, when
broken through by wave or shot, would
have exposed the low freeboard vessel
to the risk of laundering by the ship
ping of only one heavy sea. Besides
this, she was intended to have an upper
deck supported on stanchions and open
on both sides, the same as the Mianton-
omoh.
IL the latter part of 1885 Naval Con-
structor Philip Hichborn returned from
tour of Europe, where he had been
sent by the navy department to inves-
tigate ships, dock-yards, and navy con
struction generally, and, knowing the
difficulties of making successful
coast-defense ship of this large vessel,

he made some radical changes IN her
design The proposed turrets were re-
placed by what has since become
known as Hichborn turret, which
made it possible to raise the guns to a
height of 10 feet inches above the wa
ter line. These turrets do not project
down through the deck as do those in
the Miantoncmoh, but the lower part,
or barbette, Is secured 70 the deck,
forming water-tight wall around the
base of the turret to the height of five
and cne-half feet above the deck The
upper part OF the turret containin z
the guns Is made to revolve above the
barbette just referred to, and has in
clined sides, which make II appear
something like q gigantic rivet head.
Both the upper and the lower parts of
the turret arc well protected by heavy
plates Of steel armor, the latter being
fourteen inches thick, while the in
clined sides Of the upper part present,
but small target and are very difficult
to penetrate by the shot of an enemy.
Besides this she IS provided with q
large deckhouse or superstrueture ex-
tending from one turret 70 the other
and subdivided into quarters for both
the officers and the crew. This will
give excellent opportunities for the
ventilation Of the ship and for commu-
nication with the eng1ne-room and
other quarters below even II a storm at
sea, and will no doubt prevent such
discontinue as has been experienced
on board the Miantonomoh from the
excessive heat below deck.
The ship is provided with eight boil
ers, which are now being fitted with ap-
pliances for forced drsught- She mas

zontal compound type, capable Of de

the ship, protecting engines, boilers,
magazines and shell rooms. Immedi-
ateiy forward and aft OF this belt, says
the New York herald, the armor is re-
duced In thickness to 10 inches for q
distance of 30 feet, and is further re-
duced TO thickness of inches at the
ends of the ship. The armor is strongly
supported by wood backing and a
system of rigid frames and girders- The
main deck is covered by steel plating 3
inches thick. The ship will carry $50
tons of coal
She has all of her engines and boilers
on board and the hull construction is all
completed, but the armor for the tur-
rets and sides, though contracted for
some time ago, has not been delivered.
It Is hoped, however, that deliveries
will be made soon and that the ship will
be ready to put in commission within
the next two years.
