WORKING Or The
CLIMBER

In the old-fashioned way; and we may
watch dozens of things like hosting and
latherunning and drilling and transporta-
ton being done here by electricity which,
along the old lines, would have been car
ried out in slower and more expensive
ways; while in the huge stern posts we
have seen the very latest thing in cast
steel, for casting in steel is not only
q new art not yet reduced to science
but stern posts and rudder frames for
battleships are among the very most
difficult things that the steel caster has
so far attempted.
Imagining our two fighters as they
will appear when complete, we see two
white, wall-sided warships AS feet long,
proceeding with pile of foam at their
bows at the rate Of nineteen knots an
hour at an expenditure of twenty tons
Of coal and the conversion of 16O tons of
water into steam. Below the gracefully
sheered main deck is visible row Of
small guns, forming the secondary
battery" At both Manila and Santiago
1t was observed that although big guns
were of the greatest ultimate advan-
tage, most of the fight, when the dis
lance allowed, went on, and with the
greatest execution, among the smaller
rapid-fring rifles. which may well ac-
count for the strength and Importance
of the secondary batteries of these twin
ships. Above the main decks rise the
main turrets, fore and aft topped by
smaller ones. A pile of upperworks
lntervenes between them, surmounted by
TWO stout military masts with fighting
tops and signal yards and three tunnels
pouring out volumes Of smoke-all con-
triputlnS TO a. very solid. castle-lika

going on apart from the vessels them
selves. At present the engines that arc
10 propel them are well under way. Here
is pyramid of cylinders already cast and
waiting to be finished; there a stalwart
connecting rod or length of shafting re-
Volving slowly in huge lathe which is
driven mysteriously by electricity with no
sign of pulleys or belts. Then there are
the great cast steel stern posts being
made ready to go in place-so large you
can almost walk under them as they
stand in the shop without hitting your
head. Last and most interesting of all is
the giant steam hammer-one Of the larg-
est in the world-which is forging out the
steel engine stanchions from bars as big
as the body of a horse with the custom
airy accompaniment of hot sparks as it
falls ponderousE In response to the fore
mans sing-song cry of BLOW !-Blow!--
Light Blow!"
All these points of battleship building
are the more interesting of course, be-
cause of the tremendous Importance of
the result. There is little satisfaction,
either in building a battleship unless she
Is to be better ship and a more power
-fuI fighter than all those that have gone
before her. Consequently battleship de-
s1gners must be engineering pioneers
hunting for new facts and new ideas, and
employing new methods and materials-to
accomplish results beyond what haveeal-
ready been achieved. Consequently, also,
battleship builders must be mechanical
pioneers to carry out the designers ideas.
So here we are face to face with one of
the worlds biggest steam hammers actu-
ally at work; and down In the yards we
saw rivets driven by compressed air in
cramped spaces where it would be i'm
possible to swing hammer to drive them

Electrical workers. Local 90 held an

Prof. A. c. Scott OF the Rhode Island
Agricultural college at Gingston gave an

Prof. Scotts lecture was highly ap-

showered upon him. Electrical mO are
invited TO come UP and enjoy some Of
the good times.

SUING FOR
DAMAGE
BY FLOOD
Case Of Silver Spring BIsachsry
Company Against the Allen
Print Works on Trial.

There was big array OF legal talent
in Judge Johnson's court today engaged
in the trial OF the suit to recover $4,000,
brought by the Silver Spring Bieachery
company against the Allen Print works
This suit grows out OF the great food
at the north end on March IL. 1901.
IL viii be recalled that this food caused
some loss OF life and carried small
mill away that was on Branch avenue
That highway near Woodward road was
badly damaged and IL required lot OF
work To repair the washouts. This was
due TO the overflow OF two dams.
The Silver Spring bleachery claims that
very large amount Of goods on Its
premises were badly damaged by water
Negligence on the part OF the dependent
corporation is alleged In not carefully
looking after the gates which should
have been raised 10 let or the water and
relieve the pressure on the dams. one
Of these dams was known as the upper
dam and the lower dam OF Canada pond.
Commissioner OF Dams Simmons was
one OF the first witnesses called by the
plaintiff Mr.. Simmons told about the
general understanding and orders being
that the gates and fash boards OF dams
should be carefully watched when there
was any danger Of floods.
A witness named Frost. who owned
property near the dams testified that on
the day OF the flood he went to the gates
OF the lower dam and tried TO unlock
them This he could not do so he forced
the gates open with a crowbar.
Edwards Il Angel are the attorneys for
the plaintiff and James Tillinghast, Com
stock & Gardner and Samuel T. Douglas
attorneys for the defendant.
A large number of experts, II was
stated, would be called by the defendant
TO show that the food and incidental
damage could have been prevented.
Former City Engineer Gray was wit
ness for the plaintiff and declared he be-
came very familiar with the poasas and
dams connected with the suit while city
engineer.
