bre guns, six or eight inch guns for
instance and these are placed in small
Ter Independent turrets about the ship.
It occurred to the American designers
that if they could dispense with the
weighty and space consuming machin-
cry, attached to these turrets, such as
the turret engines and machinery, in
dependent ammunition hoist shields
and the like, much more engine power
could be placed in the hull of the ship
and more armor could be carried They
solved the problem by rigidly attach
ing the smaller turrets, each containing
two eight inch rifles, to the top of the
big thirteen inch turretS. The plan had
another advantage than weight saving.
Theoretically, 1t tended TO a terrible
concentration of the fire of the ship.
Probably the craft does not float that
would survive the awful impact from
the four guns of one of these COM
bined turretS upon one small section of
its hull and because they are trained in
unison their projectileS must strike
close together.
With this saving in weight the de-
signerS were able to give splendid arm
or protection to the ships. All of this
armor is of Harveyized nickel-steel, of
American invention, and the best in the
world up to this date, as is shown by
the many European efforts to equal it
by other processes of manufacture.
Moreover, it is skillfully disposed, so as
to make every ounce of steel count for
the protection of the crew. The big
turrets are seventeen inches thick in
front diminishing in thickness to fif-
teen inches in the rear, where they are
less liable to be struck because IN ac-
ton the guns are supposed always to
be turned towards the enemy. The
smaller turrets above, for like reason,
vary in thickness from eleven to nine
inches. To make sure no stray shot
strikes the ammunition hoists leading
to the maga zines to the turrets, the
former are enclosed in tubes of hard
ened steel fifteen inches in thickness
Mounted in this fashion the guns are
almost invulnerable from the eight-inch
rifles mounted high in the air with good
range and capable Of piercing the walls
of most armored ships at fighting quar-
ters, to the big thirteen inch guns that

Chicago, March 24.-George T. Mich
olson was today appointed as general
passenger traffic manager of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad to
succeed w. F. White, deceased. The
appointment is to take effect May 1st
Mr.. George. T. Nicholson has been out

tie over year. He gave up the position
OF general passenger agent of the road
on February l, 1897, to take a similar posi-
ton with D. B. Robinson on the ST Isouis
& San Francisco road
Prior to his resignation Mr. Nfcholson's
entire time since 1882 was spent in the
service OF the Santa Fe. In that year he
entered the general passenger offfce Of the
Santa Fe in this city as clerk at a small
salary, but quickly climbed upward in
the work holding consecufivelv the Dosi
tfons of chief rate clerk, chief clerk and

Mr.. Nicholson was married in Septem-
Der, 1886, to Miss Julia NJ. Watson of Dur

The combination battery is supple

convenient point of the superstructure.
All are rapid-fire or machine guns, for
the navy department has profited by
the lessons taught in the China-Japa-
nese war of the terrible power of guns
of this type. About four motions suffice
TO load, discharge and reload one or
these guns, and in rapidity of fire they
are equal to three of the ordinary navy
breech-loading guns. The largest are
nVe-inch calibre, fourteen in all, shell

men steel walls to minimize the enectS

OF TO clear a deck or an open pOrtnOIe
or earthWOrk. To facilitate this some
of the machine guns are placed high in
the military tops where they can rain
bullets down below. To protect the hull
which carries all of this offensive power
1672 inches of armOr is placed along the
sides, dipping four feet below the water
line, and numerous heavy bulkheads
are disposed to prevent any Shot that
may enter from traverSing. The en-
gines, the vitals of the ship, are COW
cred by an arched- steel deck two and
three quarters inches thick, placed on
an angle calculated to defect and throw
upward any prOjectile.
Under that deck lies 10, 900 horse pow
er of boilers, engines and other machin-
cry capable of pushing the vast hull
through the water at the rate of at
least sixteen knots, a good speed for a
freight train on land, and besides there
are no less than eighty smaller engines
to hoist anchors, pull up boats, drive
dynamOs and otherwise help the crew.
The big turrets swing nOiselessly and
quickly by electricity the largest appi-
cation yet made of electricity in this
way, and everywhere in the ship, from
winches and ventilators to lighting and
telephony, the electric fluid plays a use

normally 40 tons of coal, but may take
aboard 1,210 tons, and 511 officers, sail

in combat to one of the battleships.
Light draft on heavy displacement is
only one of the many valuable qualities
of the battleships, though by no means
the least. Save the Indiana class, they
carry the heaviest batteries in accord
with modern naval practice, and with
primary batteries fully equal to that
class they mount secondary guns in
such fashion as to make the cornbina-
tiOn almost uneQualed in naval archi-
lecture. The big rifles, four in number,
are mounted in two turrets, one sweep
ing the entire sea from directly ahead,
fully half way astern, the other with
equal range, placed so as to command
the sea from either bow straight astern.
These are thirteen inch calibre. yet the
British navy confines its guns to twelve
inch. In inches the difference seems
small, yet the American gun has about
% per cent more power.

ships the American designers have en-

Wisconsin Supreme Court Hands
Down an Important Decision.

Milwaukee. Wis, March PA decis-
ion which will be of interest to every
electric street car company in the coun-
try has just been handed down by the
supreme court at Madison. It is to the
effect that there can be no extension of
street railway lines beyond the city linn
it's, even though a franchise has been
granted, without the award of dam
ages where property owners object.
It also makes no difference whether
or not the companies have the right to
carry freight or express matter.
When the courts decided that the
street railway was not an additional
burden upon the highway the railway
was operated by horsepower. Since
the advent Of electricity the street rail-
way has been brought close to the stat
