Both officers and crew will have wash
rooms, bath rooms and other similar con-
Ven1ences such as will place the comfort
and healthfulness of these vessels very high
in the scale.
Electrical Equipment.
The applications of electricity on board
are very much wider than in the case of
any other battle ships In existence, with
the possible exception Of the Kearsarge and
Kentucky. All of the turrets have electrical
turning gear, and the ammunition hoists,
blowers to the turrets and general ventila-
tion, the general workshop, and practical
ly all of the auxiliaries, outside of the en-
gineers' department and excepting caps.an
ana steering gear, are to be electrically
driven. To provide for the power required
for these purposes, there will be installed
eight engines and dynamoes, mounted on
combination bed plates, two having a rated
output of $50 amperes at 1913 volts, and
SIX with go ampereS at 125 volts.
In this class of vessels, all of the latest
approved equipment will be provided for
accommodation of the officers and crew, the
ventilation and drainage being of a high
standard; the hospital quarters airy and
commodious; the bakery and galleys, with
their issuing rooms and refrigerating plant,
having been worked out with a view to
thorough efficiency; laundry and drying
rooms are fitted with the latest machinery,
electrically driven; and the living quarters
are carefully protected by insulation from
cold in winter and excessive heat in sum-
mer. Take it all in all, the designs of the
Nebraska class embody the latest develop
ments in naval architecture, and these YES
sells will prove most formidable additions
to the fighting strength of the navy The
other vesIelS of this class are the Georgia,
New Jersey, Rhode Island and Virginia.

Thus was it all arranged. Down in the

crafty on his part to have suggested that
scheme of having the fiat all ready for him

On Wednesday morning she received
letter from her sister in New York, stating
that the dishes, bric-a-brac, bedding, ETC.,

to arrive there on Friday. THANK good

wife to the man. II suppose the railroad
people'll just deliver the stuff right at the

well, I guess not" replied the man.
Didn't your sister send you the bill of

NO" she replied"
wei, you'd better wire her to send 1t,
then, said the man discouragingly. You
can't get freight away from a railroad
company without bill of lading any more
than you can get your wash from a China
man without a ticket. When the stuff ar

railroad company yawns and thinks it over
