'THE NEW NAVY.
Nix Magnificent Vessels 10 Be Built
This Year.
THEY WILL BE OF COMPOSITE
TYPE, STEEL AND WOOD.

They VIII Be Propelled by Sail and Steam
Composite Vessels Largely Indepen-
dent of Docking Asked for the
Construction of These Vessels.
Washington, July IL. Six magnificent
steam yachts, such as could be owned on
ly by the lucky possessors of many mil
lions OF dollars, will be built by the navy
during the current fiscal year, and al
though they are to be finer than similar
vessels of their class they promise to be
all around the most useful ships belong
ing to the Un tied States government.
BY act of Congress approved March 2nd,
1895, prov ision was made for the con-
struction of six light-draft, composite
gunboats, the individual, constructive
limit of cost being $3.50, 600 exclusive of
the cost of armament From this author
ity Chief Constructor Hichborn and En-
gineer in Chief Melville have drawn de-
signs for entirely novel types of warships
involving for the first time in government
vessels the principle of composite con-
struction, the framing being of steel and
the hull of wood.
The essential reasons for the construc-
tion of vessels of the composite type are
that they are largely Independent of dock
ing facilities and economical in the use
of fuel The exfoliation of the copper
causes the barnacles, gross, etc, to-. be re
leased as soon as the vessel is put in mo-
tion, and the bottom is made compare
lively clean, thus permitting the vessel to
maintain her designed speed with min
lmum consumption of coal
The docking expenses, whether at home or
abroad, and the cost of fuel are two very
serious outlays that these vessels are
counted upon to minimize, while their
activity, range of action and general
efficiency are greatly increased
The six vessels will be of two radically
different types; one type carrying full
sail power and propelled by single
screw, the other type having steadying
sails only and propelled by twin screws
actuated by two separated engines
Their principal dimensions are as fol-
lows:

: Acute Dyspepsia.
SYMPATHETIC HEART DISEASE
OFTEN ATTENDS 1T.

from inc Republican. Cedar Rapid, IoWa.
Mrs. V. Curley who has resided in
Clarence Iowa, for the past twenty two
years telis an interesting story of what
sne considers rescue from premature
death. her narrative is as follows:
nor Cen e years prior to 1894 1 was con-
5tang sufferer from acute stomach trouble.
l nau an the manifold symptoms of acute
dyspepsia, aid at times other troubles
we were present in complications-Id did not
know What 1T was to enjoy meal. No

was respondent and blue. Almost to the
polnG Oh insanity at times, and would
nave peen glad to die. Often and often
1 could not sleep. Sympathetic heart
trouple set in and time and again was
opilged to call doctor in the night to
relieve sudden attacks of suffocation
which would come on without moments s
warming.
MY trouble increased as time wore on
anu L spent large sums in doctor bills
pelng compelled to have medical attend
anus anus almost constantly. During 1892 and
1898, 1t was impossible for me to retain

was reduced to a skeleton. A consulta-
ulon OF physicians was unable to deter
mine just what did all me. The doctors
gave us as their opinion that the probable
trouble was liberation of the coats of the
sSolnacn and held out no hope of recovery.
One doctor said, WAll can do to relieve,
your suffering is by the use of opium. -
About this time friend of mine, Mrs.
Symantha Smith, of Glidden, Iowa, told
me about the case of Mrs. Thurston, of
oxford junction, Iowa. This lady said
she had been afflicted much the same as
L had. She had consulted local physicians
without relief, and had gone to Daven-
port for treatment. Giving up all hope
Oh recovery, she was persuaded by friend
to take DR. Williams Pink Pills The
result was almost magical
was led to try them from her expert
ence, and before any months I felt better
than L had for a dozen years. am now
almost free from trouble, and if through
some error of diet / feel badly, this splen-

DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail
from DR.. Williams Medicine Company.

| The single screw vessels Nos. 10, II. 1s
and 13 have finer lines than the other two
| and carry pread of 11,000 square feet
| make 10 knots an hour with stiff wind
! and fairly smooth sea, while in the
| trade winds, for long voyages, they can
be relied upon to make long cruises at
| the rate of or s knots. When going
under sail alone, the engines of the sim
gle screw boat will be uncoupled, allow
ing the shafting and screw to reyoIye
and so slight is the retarding influence
of the screw thus disengaged, that there
is every reason to expect a sailing speed
fully equal to the possibilities of the
steam power conditions.
The engines in each type are designed
to develop the same horse power and to
induce the same. speed, that of 12 knots
differing only as regards shafting, mum.
ber of screws and incidental division of
motive force.
For the twin-screw gunboats, the en-
gines will be rights and lefts, each in a
separate water-tight compartment, and
viii be of the usual vertical, direct act
ing, triple-expansiona type, with high
pressure cylinder.of 10, 13 IA and 2S in
ches respectively, having a common
stroke of 16 inches, capable of developing
500 horse power with 200 revol utions per
minute
The engine of the single-screw boats
will also be of the triple-expansion type,
with cylinders of the following dame
ters: Is IA, % 1-2 and 36 inches, with a
common stroke of 30 inches and to run at
$50 revolutions per minute when develop
ing the required so horse power.
Each boat will have two Single-ended
Scotch boilers with two corrugated
furnaces, each three feet in diameter
Each boiler will have a diameter of 1917
feet. length of 10L feet, with 80 square
feet of graJe surface and 1, $50 feet of heat
ing surface, making a total heating sur
face of 2, 500 square feet and a total CRATE
surface of 7S square feet. They will have
moderate forced daught induced by two
boiSers for each boat applied directly to
the ash pit The boilers will be placed
side by side in the same compartment,
with common fire-room.
The normal coal supply of the single
screw boat will be 100 tons, with total
bunker capacity of 25S; the normal coal
supply of the twin n-screW boats will be 1870
tons, with a total bunker capacity of $50
tons
These gunboats have been given much
less speed and only about half the power
which it lately has been the practice to
put in boats of their displacement The
great advantage of this idea consists in
allowing boat of a given size to carry
more coal, since the machinery weighs
less, and drives the boat more economi-
cally at a slow speed. Thus at s knots
these boats will require about 250 horse
power whether the maximum power of
the engines be 800 or 1000.
In one case the engine would be work
ing at about a of it's designed power,
