To-day the committee in charge OF The
Evening Worlds Free Bowling Tourna-

blanks for entries and special attention
Is called to the fact that the postmark
on the enveope of the returned applica-
ton will be considered the official time
Of the filing of the entry.
, With over five hundred teams to COM

that the applications be made at once.
The date of the starting of the tourna-
ment has been set for Feb. . and every
thing will be In readiness at that time
to have the games started OF with a
rush.

bowlers and ~insures absolute fairness,
The captain Of a team will have a right
to see that he has the same pins u
Monday night that all other teams rSiieo
at the past Monday. and there VIII pc
no favorlte team to pick out a certain
set OF pins for their own use.
The balls, too, will be carerully IN
spected. A brass ring has been con
structed exactly twenty-seven and one
tenth inches in circumference; ana ms
will be used as n standard througan

The extra tenth of an Inch an the size
of the ring will allow for an expansion
of a ball during damp weather.
No restriction will be put upon tne
weight of the balls. although II Is highly
probable that the convention OF BOWERS
in Indianapolis will rule out all weighted
balls in tournaments
The greatest interest has been shown
by bowlers In the vicinity of New YORK
over the event, and II has been decided
to allow any team that wishes to COM

are to be fitted in. One notes, too, the
stouter ribs and rigid reinforcements I'M
der engine beds and boilers, the greater
depth of keel at certain points, and the
firm braces a. the points where any un-
usual strain may be expected to come.
In order to appreciate the reasons for
this tremendous Strengthening in special
places one has to think of the battleship
not as on the stocks, but in action. In the
first place, the hull of such a craft, accord
ing to the recent calculations of a Japanese
naval officer, comprises only about 3S per
cent Of its total weight. The remaining
So per cent is simply loaded on in the shape
OF guns, armor, machinery and general
outfit. Yet this weight is not, like the
cargo in a freighter. evenly distributed,
nor can II be got rid Of while the vessel
is In dry dock. Then, again, as soon as
the officer in command orders II full
speed ahead" the engines, in the narrow
space allowed them. must begin to put
forth the energy Of about 20 900 horses on
the run, pounding on the shaft bearings,
and from them onto the very keel itself,
with a pressure Of about sixty tons-or
say, six times the weight Of an ordinary
trolley car. h pressure on the thrust
bearings, as we'll as on the foundations,

In their struggle to drive the ship ahead,
Is collectively over 100 tons. Seven heavy
weight freight engines, coupled one ahead
OF the other, could hardly exert the same
force. So, too, whenever the commander
wants to turn quickly and orders the helm
put hard over, the stern post and adjacent
Trainings must stand the strain Of pulling
2SO square feet OF rudder surface-much
more than the area OF a big barn door.
sideways through the water at the rate Of
twenty miles an hour. Every time one Of
the twelve-ineh rifles Is fred the result 10
much the same, so far as stresses and
strains on the mountings are concerned,
as II a healthy passenger locomotive run
ming at ten miles an hour were to find the
gun sitting inopportunely on the track and
engage II In end-on collision, while as to
the strains resulting from actually ramming
an enemy in battle. nobody has ever more
than vaguely guessed at what they may
amount to.
Notwithstanding the fact every point OF
construction seems to be proceeding with
Omaha daily bee., 1903-01-18

still only a few feet above what will ulti-
mately be the water line.
The advantage of being on hand SO early
is that certain very essential features OF
modern battleship building are plainly evil
dent which will later on be built over and
hidden from view. The heavily armed bat
tleship. like these two monster turtles, Is In
a class by itself and fights by its own par
ticular methods. 1t makes no boast OF
heetness of foot, like the slender de
stroyer." OF OF combined pugnacity and
long distance endurance. like the protected
cruiser. or even OF sheer defensive strength
like the monitors. II expects, unlike the
proverbial policeman, always to be at the
right place at the right time, always to
take up the most dangerous position 1t can
find In the line OF battle, and everlastingly
to stick there to the despite and destruc-
tion OF Its mi
The battleship, therefore, is built to take
many hard blows, as well as 10 give them.
though knowing all the lime tina these
hard blows, coming from modern twelve
inch rifles, will probably shatter the
heaviest armor 1t can float under. But
there are certain vital organs within it
above all, its engines and boilers-that
must be made absolutely safe against shots,
and the only way to make them so, since
impenetrable armor has not yet been in
vented, is to add one safeguard to another
until chance OF injury is practically elm
mated. So. II you will climb down the
slope OF the protective deck on which
you have been standing and look over the
side. you will see below you a jog OF shelf
running along the vessels side. above which
II is narrower than Il is below. Upon
this is to go the eleven-inch nickel steel
armor plating, extending a few feet above
and below the water line and going nearly
all around the vessel from end to end like
. stout belt around a mans body. This Is
to take care OF all small shots from the
enemy's gun For the larger, more pene-
trating shots. the V-shaped space in which
we now stand, between the upright side
OF the vessel and the slant OF the protective
deck. will be filled solid with coal, as a
part OF the ships bunker capacity. to a
horizontal thickness Of nearly ten feet.
This is a much more efficient shield than
the steel armor itself. IN the same principle
Omaha daily bee., 1903-01-18

that a rife bullet can be shot through a
chilled plo Sshage but not through a feather
pillow. Furthermore, in order that water
shall not follow in where the shot has
entered. there Is to be a three-foot space
between the armor and the coal bunkers
which will be filled with compressed corn
stalk pith, called cellulose, which swells up
as soon as II Is wet and closes the shot hole
ia the plates. And even suppose the en-
envy succeeds In sending q hot through
armor and coal both, then when its steel
head finally reaches the s~lanting turtle
back" beneath our feet Il is detected up
through the vessels upper works, and, II
: still has the force TO carry II, out int
the air, precisely as a skipping stone will
glance upward from the surface OF a pond.
AS for any destruction which may take
place above the armor belt and the pro-
tective deck, there are here but two points
which, at the last resort, are really indis-
pensable-the two turrets, that Is, which
carry the twelye-inch rides. And these,
from their combination Of rounded shape
and extra heavy armor, are supposed to be
invulnerable. After all. then, we have in
the modern battleship little more, so far as
principle goes, than an old-fashioned mont
tor-or impenetrable "whalebaek," II you

added above It.; and II our vessel really
lived up to the naval constructors ideal,

gagement totally dismantled above the pro-

with its deck house knocked into junk and
its funnel, masts, boat derricks, and all
the rest OF 1t overheard, but with four
twelve-ineh rifles still swinging toward the
enemy and below decks a perfect set of
boilers and engines and a still workable
emergency steering gear.
In the two Fore River battleships prog
ress has been made to the point where
one may begin to trace out the general
plan within the hold. We can follow the
outlines of the six boiler rooms, all sep
arate from one another to insure greater
safety; then. aft OF these. the narrow space
which is to be filled with coal to guard
against explosion. and beyond this the tive

the greatest rapidity-as we'll as the ut
most accompaniment of notes.-the visitor
might come to Fore River after a months
absence and notice no extraordinary change.
A battleship is inevitably a creature OF
very slow growth. Take for example the
matter Of shaping and attaching one of the
trough shaped plates under the keel.
Wooden templates" or patterns must FIRST
be made to cut it out by. Then upon an
iron floor iron clamps and gauges must be
painstakingly arranged on which to shape it.
1t must spend a long time in the fierce heat
of a petroleum furnace, growing red and
limp, before the actual shaping can be
begin. Half a dozen men,, when 1t finally
energies, must attack it with hammers and
bending levers and even then return 1t
several times over for further heatings.
By the time 1t is ready the best of a day
is gone. Another day will be spent in
planning the edges smooth and marking and
drilling the rivet holes. When at last 1t
is sent swinging of through the air on the
end of a crane hoist, a third day goes in
placing it, roaming" the holes out fair
and driving the rivets. A single rib, with
it's queerly shaped web, its fanges to be
heated and bent, and the scores of rivets
needed to drive 1t down into a solid piece
with the whole ship, Is nearly as great a
problem; and vessels like New Jersey and
Rhode Island require scores OF ribs and
thousands of plates, many Of the latter
as complicated as the keel plates.
Meanwhile, OF course, many things are
going on apart from the vessels themselves.
At present the engines that are to propel
them are well under way. Here is a pyra-
mid OF cylinders already cast and waiting
to be finished; there a stalwart connecting
rod or a length OF shafting revolving slowly
in a huge lathe which is driven mystic
riously by electricity with no sign of pull
leys or belts. Then there are the great
cast steel stern posts being made ready to
go into plaee-sO large you can walk under
them as they stand In the shop without
hitting your head. Last and most interest
ing OF all is the giant steam hammer
one of the largest in the world-Which is
forging out the steel engine stanchions
from bars as big as the body OF a horse
with the customary accompaniment OF hot
