Cannot Drill the Armor Plates.

The work on the cruiser Maine is over .
year behind at the navy yard owing to the
delay in the armor. The hull and engines
are all ready, but no one yet knows how
the plates of her side armor are to be put
on. They are of the Harveyized type. The
basis of the armor is OF nickel STEEL sur
face hardened on the Harvey system. Il
has been found since the first lot OF Har-
veyized steel has been turned out that there
are no tools fit to drill the necessary holes
in the plates to permit Of the latter bein 6
fastened on the ships side. As yet 10
method has been discovered of placing ar
NOR on a vessels side other than by means
of bolts.
In all soft-steel armor plates no difficulty
is experienced in boring holes, but the hard
surface of the Harveyized plates appears to
defy tools. 1t is declared by experts that
the plates can only be bored after they
have been subjected TO a softening treat
ment. This, il is pointed out, can be done
by a system OF gas jets, but at heavy ex-
pense. In softening the arrnor plates IL 10
made apparent that the plates must neces-
sarily lose some Of their resisting powers
