Of $4,000 for every quarter knot furnishes a

The hull OF tho Iowa is built OF steel, with a
double bottom, or inner skin, reaching from the
keel up to a height of something like 10 feet
above the normal water line and extending fore
and aft for a distance OF 294 feet, and at no
point where the outside plating can be touched
from within Is there more than tve-cighths of an
inch OF metal between 1t and the pressure o: the
great volume OF water without: but such Is tho
cunning adaptation OF plates and angle bars that
abundant strength, il is believed, Is secured to
meet the stress.
A peculiar feature OF the hull formation Is
seen whore the sides curve inboard amidships
from tho water limo up to the upper deck. The
weight in metal thus saved went to build the
high sides, by which greater accommodation
were obtained for the crew, while easier sea-
ways were secured In heavy weather. and wider
