ANSoN PHELPS STOKES
iNVENTS' WAR MACHINE

NEW YORK, April ia formida-
Bile machine for coast defense has
been invented and patented by Anson
Phelps Stokes, millionaire and philan-
thropist, who is a member of twelve
of the leading clubs of the city.
1t is floating battery of giant
strength and of model en-
tirely new in naval architecture, as
applied to war vessels. Mr. Stokes,
who inherited an immense fortune
from his father, the late James Stokes,
was very active man until two years
ago, when he met with an accident in
consequence of which his right leg
was amputated. He turned his atten-
tion to the problem of naval coast de-
fense. and this invention is the result
of his researches and experiments.
The new battery is circular and in
shape is like an apple, having spher-
ical hull and supersturcture, with the
water line about the middle Mr.
Stokes claims that this gives greater
strength and safety, and greater capa-
city for the same weight of construc-
zion. The battery is to be built of steel
and is designed to carry two guns of
immense caliber.
One of the chief points of difference
between Mr.. Stokes invention and the
remarkable Russian vessel, known as
the vice admiral Popoff, is that the
guns in the Stokes vessel are rigid and
attached TO the vessel itself, thus MAX
ing 1t necessary to trim ship" in or
der to sight the guns. while in the
Russian ship they are mounted In the
ordinary disappearing mechanism
Mr., Stokes vessel also is not designed
to be self-propelling, whereas the Rus
sian vessel moves by its own steam.
In explaining his invention, Mr..
Stokes said: by reason of the spher-
ical shape of my battery or vessel
considerable weight is saved in con
struction, and from this and especial
ly by allowing the guns to extend
across most of the vessel, much heay-
Ter guns can be carried. Considerable
economy of construction results from
the spherical shape of the battery, for
the reason that a large number of the
parts are mere Implications of each
other. Another item of general econ
omy results from the fact that no gun
carriages are used. Their omission
produces a safer and more secure
mount for the heaviest guns"

LONDON, April l5.-The new North
German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm
IL. sails today for Sew York and by
this time next week persons on both
sides of the Atlantic who follow the
trend of events in shipbuilding and

passenger accommodations will attract
great attention. There are sittings in
the first class saloons for o54 persons

The Report of the Weather Bureau
Shows cesciency.
The following from the snowfall bull
letin of the weather bureau, indicates
that the snowfall in Nevada is con-
siderably shy of what it should be.
This section of the State has received
fair share of snow, but the eastern
section needs considerable to help it
through the summer:
The snowfall of November was
quite heavy on the mountains through
out the eastern, central, western and
southern sections Of the Stated Ov-
er the extreme northern portion it
was light and below the average for
the month The snOwstorms were &C
companied by high winds and low
temperatures, Conditions which were
very favorable for the packing and re-
tention Of the snow in the ravines and
gulches until needed to furnish water
for summer irrigation in the valleys
below
The December snowfall was very
light all over the State, being cOnsid-
erably less than for the corresponding
month OF 101, which was an unusually
mild and dry winter month
At the close of the month there
was more snow on the mountains in
the western part of the State than &
year ago, while at the head waters o.
the Humboldt river large deficiency
! ditions prevail during the remainder
| of the winter the water-1low durins
the coming season will probably b.
greater than last year
