1t Includes Every Form of Naval
Architecture.
The Battleship Illinois and Some OF the
Wonder It VIII ContaIn-Columbus'
Flagship to Float by the Side of
a Viking Ship.
Especial worlds Fair letter.

Every known form of water craft
both ancient and modern will form a
portion of the Worlds Columbian expo
sition exhibit. Models by the score are
stored in the transportation depart
ment, while the lagoons and canals of
Jackson park will fairly swarm with
the full-sized live exhibit. The most
interesting, perhaps, is the ~reproduc-
ton of the battleship Illinois, while the
most curious are the walrus hide kayaks
of the Aleutian islanders. Venice has
contributed of her gondolas, while the
South Sea islanders have sent rude
canoes made of a single log and hol-
lowed out by burning with heated
stones. With the beautiful silver model,
costing thousands of dollars and repre-
senting the highest type of ocean
steamships, stands the reproduction of
a Chinese junk of the class that was a
terror to the merchant marine of the
world not so many years ago.
The United States naval exhibit is the
most complete ever SEN by that de-
partment to an exposition, and the
fact that it is stored in the fac
simile of the warship lends added inter
est. The Illinois is a reproduction of
the really dangerous man-of-war Mass
achusetts, and is in appearance an ar
mored vessel of the most modern type.
The hull, pointed prov and stern alike
are of brick and cement, but the unprac-
ticed eye win not detect the material.
The craft is $50 feet long and 20 feet
wide amidships, with berth deck, main
deck, superstructure deck, bridge and
chart house. A mast of hollow steel
rises 60 feet above the main deck with en-
frances curving around it. Within this
mast is the coming tower, Calling
