An Immense Marshin

Expert engineers of the Bureau of
steam Engineering of the Navy de
partment have recently completed and
reviewed specifications for the engines
and boilers of seagoing battleship No
|, which is to be the largest vessel in
the new navy of the United States.
Notwithstanding the great size of
the vessel-she will displace Ii. $50
tons-she will not be particularly
speedy craft as vessels are now rated
IN these days of naval progress. But
that IS because she is to be heavily
armored; not protected, like the
New York, in certain vital parts, but
covered with heavy Harveyized steel
pla ;es capable of resisting the armor
piercing projectiles of great guns. The
great weight of this armor has OBLIGED
the naval architects to reduce the
weight allowance OF the engines and
boilers, and that meant reduction in
speed, particularly as liberal allow
ance had to be made for the coal sup
ply OF the ocean-going man-of-war.
SO the new vessel will have engines
of 1000 horsepower, which, running
at l121 revolutions per minute. viii
give her speed of sixteen knots per
hour They will be triple expansion
engines, which means that steam win
be used three times in as many differ.
ent cylinders before being condensed.
Three double-ended main and two
auxiliary steel boilers
supply steam at no pounds pressure
to drive these engines, and to make a
sufficient draft the two smokestaclls
will be 100 feet in height
These tall stacks are not acceptable
TO lovers of beauty in marine design. I
but they are very economical and |
enable the engineers to get along in
ordinary cruising without the annoy !
ing forced draft which makes so much [
trouble
The details of the complicated /
are so many that it requires
l book of ninety-four printed pages to
describe all of them.

When Rebel hand had stabbed the land.

I Forget the day Of Richmond's fall,
The day OF her bloody doom
And the horde from which Freedoms swon
Deserved but traitors tomb,
Forget the day we rallied round,
The starry flag OF the free,
And poured out in food our loyal blood,
In our forward march to the sea,
Forget the loss of arms and legs.
And the pain OF the Minie-ball
The terrible crash Of the battles fire
As the comrades near you fall.
Forget the pangs OF hunger and thirst
The horror OF prisons blight
Which dashed the soul with terrors OF hell
And turned the mind into night
Forget the sick ming hospital scenes
And those moaning, dying sounds,
And the dread and derry gangrene.
Ihat ragged in those gaping wounds
Forget the cot where our brother laid,
And hear that whispered goodbye,
And kiss in tears his pallid cheek,
As we lay him down to die,
Forget the graves on hill or plain,
Where we turned the virgin sod,
And beneath it laid tried and true.
And left them there with their God

For we who were not to blame,
