SHOWS SIGNS OF REvIvING.
ShipbuiIding Is Now Carried on at "a
Substantial Profit.

Substantial Profit.
Engineering Magazine.
That the shipyards of the country are
in a generally prosperous condition is
indica ted by the fact that during the last
six months of 1899 and the first four
months of 1900 there was only one fail
ure among firms operating plants Of any
magnitude. On the other hand, a num-
Der of shipbuilding establishments which
had been closed for some time were re-
opened, and there was scarcely one of
the more prominent institutions which
did not inaugurate engagements or i'm
provements, these extensions amounting
in some instances to a virtual doubling
of the capacity of the yard. Most sig
nificant of all is the fact that in the in
terval mentioned there were projected
ten new shipbuilding corporations, which
propose to erect plans entailing OUTLAWS
ranging all the way from $5000OO to
sc. 0O0 900. Some of these new projects are
already well advanced and If all are
carried out on the lines made out the
aggregate expenditure will exceed $200O0.-
600.
The contracts in the hands of the
American shipbuilders afford an equally
satisfactory showing. There are now
building or under contract in the ship
yards of the United States mercantile
and naval tonnage which represents an
aggregate value exclusive of the armor
and armament for tile naval vessels, Of
$50, 600 600 OF this total the naval vessels
building for the United States navy de-
partment foot up in round numbers $S4,-
100000; the two Russian war vessels build
ing at the yard of William Cramp &
Sons company, $5,O0O,O0O; the mercantile
vessels on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, $1S,000,000; the mercantile vessels
on the great lakes 100000, and the mer-
camille craft on the inland rivers, 81 $780,
co.,
Comparing. this showing with the vol
ume Of business on hand in the early
summer of 1899, we find a distinct gain
of $7,000,0C0 in the value of contracts, in
asmuch as the commissions in the hands
Of the builders at that time amounted
to approximately $62 100000 That the
growth of the industry is, moreover, even
greater than evidenced by these figures
may be appreciated by a comparison Of
the sundry items which go to make UP
each total. 1t will thus be seen that
whereas the volume of naval work fell
off $8,0O0,000, without taking into consid-
Grafton the Russian contracts, the value
OF shipbuilding on the inland rivers was
almost doubled, the aggregate of con-
tracts of the great lakes yards was more
than trebled and the plants on the At
lantic and Pacific coasts show an in
crease of many per cent in the commits
sions on their books.

PLAN BIG SEA l:IGHrERS.s
Three New American Battleships VIII Be
the Finest in the World.

The three new battleships to be con-
structed for the United States will excel
anything in the worlds navies in speed,
armament and power combined. The
naval board on construction has finally
approved the plans for the ships author
lied by the last Congress. and gave in
structions TO have the specifications pre-
pared at once preliminary TO calling for
bids from the shipbuilders. The ships
will be enlarged Iowas in type, with the
same rectangular superstructure and the
two turrets. bow and stern. on the main
deck. The turret guns will be 1? inch
caliber, like the Iowa's guns; there VIII
Lee turret at each corner of the super
structure carrying two S-inch guns and
twelve 6-inch rapid frers will be disposed
along the sides of the central dtadei. The
SHIPS viii make nineteen knots speed and
have a displacement of about 900 tons,
making these new ships by far the largest
in the United States navy and as big as
the latest type of British armored cruis-
er. As the constructors are limited IN
the draft by our shallow harbors to lit
tie over twenty-five feet, and as seventy
i've feet represents about the greatest
beam consistent with speed, il will be
aecessary to provide for the weights by
giving the ships more length than the
iowa class, and they will be almost 44O
!eet long. The secondary batteries will
lie made up largely of 14-pounders.

Bloodiest In the Century.

Gettysburg ranks in history as the
blOOdiest battle Of the century. 1t is
likely TO retain its sanguinary. pre-
eminence through the current year,
which completes the nineteenth GEN.
tury. The combined losses of the Fed
eral and Confederate troops was over
40 per cent of the entire number en-
gagged. That Is to say, with 100000 on
each side. the number Of dead and
wounded amounted to 10000 apiece. 1t
was the second great battle of the civil
war that was fought on Union soil.
Antietam being the first. There, too.
the losses footed up 80 per cent Of the
whole number engaged What gave to
these two battles their peculiarly
bloody character was the fact that the
Confederates We're making desperate
endeavOr to lodge themselves perman-
emily in the Federal lines, while the
Union troops were fighting on their
own ground.
But although Gettysburg ranks first
in history, Cold Harbor stands. forth
as the blOOdiest place known in our
civil war. In 10 minutes the Union
army lost $1,000 men. and the horrible
slaughter was stayed only when Han
cock refused to charge again on q,
position which was impregnable.-'

In Hill County, the town of Blum, about
seyenty five miles southwest of Dallas, was

were fatally injured. A daughter Of DR..

ter Of d. Ii. Hunt had both legs broken
and was injured internally. She is not ex-
pected to recover. Lacy kobertson's wife
was caught in their falling house and will
probably die. The public schooIhouse was
wrecked and two pupils were badly hurt.
About dozen dwellings were destroyed
in addition to the school building, and the
Baptist Church was wrecked.

Larre BuiIdiur CoIIapses,

BY the collapse Of the frame work of the
main building Of the Dimmick Pipe and
Foundry Company, in the course of erec-
ton at North Birmingham, Ala, two men
are dead and eleven are injured, at least
two of whom will die.
The building was 800 feet long and 100
feet wide. While an immense beam was
being placed in position on the roof, thirty
feet above the ground, it fell and striking
the next beam, knocked it down.
The second beam knocked down the
third and SO on until twenty-six beams
had fallen, causing general collapse Of
th e structure.
About thirty men were at work on the
building, and Of this number thirteen were
on the superstructure and went down in
the wreckage. Those on the ground floor
escaped through the windows.
