Description of the Ship.

The Louisiana and her sister ship,
the Connecticut, which is to be launch
ed at the New York navy yard a few
weeks hence, are counted upon to be
the most powerful fighting machines of
the new American navy. They viii
usher in one important Innovation, in
asmuch as their batteries will contain
7-inch guns in place of the 6-inCh
rapid firers which have prevailed since
lucky type were planned. 1t is doubt
full whether any ship afloat will match
the Louisiana In armament. In addi-
ton to foir t2-inch guns, III fore and
aft turrets. she will have eight S-inCh
rifles. In the main battery these will
be supplemented by twelve 1inch
rifles each throwing projectile weigh
ng 165 pounds.
The 12-inch shells carry a Shell
weighing $50 pounds at q velocity of
$500 feet a second-a speed of one
fourth greater than that attained by
the 13-inch guns on the ships of the
Indiana class. The 7-inch shells nave
a bursting charge of thirteen pounds
Of black powder. The explosive shell
may be replaced by an armor- piercing
icl1 OF of
5000 feet a second driven by charge
of 1O1 pounds OF smokeless powder.
Hitherto the secondary batteries of
the battleships nave been composed
mostly of 3-pOunder and 6-pounder
rapid-fr rifles, throwing a 14-pound
explosive shell. There also will be
twelve 3-pounder semi-autOmatic guns
eight 1-pounder automatic guns and
two 3-inch field guns and eight ma
chine guns for the fighting tops
The armor for the Louisiana Will
cost about $1,500.000 While the
greatest of her steel protection will be
concentrated at the water line amid
snips, she also Will be protected the

DREW MEETS A PANTHER
Berry Picker Was In Danger of Beinq
Torn to Pieces

CROOkSTON, Mimi, Aug. 21.-Face
to face with death before an enraged
panther which he had wounded. John
Drew. a resident of Itasca TOWNSHIP,
miraculously escaped being torn to
pieces.
With his Wife Drew set out to pick
berries a short distance from their
nome. Black bears are numerous in
that vicinity. and Drew. took nis rifle
with him in the hope of killing one.
The two picked berries for some time.
when Drew noticed a moving object in
the bushes near where they We're
standing. He at once grabbed his rifle
and approached within thirty feet Of
the animal ana fired. simultaneously
with the explosion he heard a loud
roar from the direction of the bushes
and the panther sprang toward him.
The beast passed just over his head
landing in the bushes behind him.
Ore" expected another attack. but
heard the animal going in the opposite
direction through the bushes.
Following closely, Drew had gone
considerable distance when he was
oVertahen by party of hunters who
had heard his shot. The animal was
severely wounded and they We're able
to follow by the drops of blood. Final
~ the trail became fainter and at last
1t was lost altogether. Farmers living
along the road said that they had seen
the panther going in the direction of
the big swamp, whore it was seeking
water and a secure hiding place.
Painters in northern Minnesota
woods are scarce, but are very vicious
and VIII attack a man if hungry. The
one which Mr.. Drew SHOT was six or
seven feet in length.

large an extent on board the Louisiana
as Oh any snip In the navy. There will
be electric ammunition hoists and
conVeyors, and it is more than prob-
apie that electrical devices for both
aiming and discharging the guns will
be installed. There also will be an an.
'omatically controlled motor for the
purpose of keeping the big guns on a
horizontal line while firing in a heavy
sea.
The Louisiana has a length of $50
feet on the load waterline. an extreme
breadth of IS feet 10 inches and a to-
tai displacement of $4,000 tons. She
will be fitted with twin-screw vertical
expansion engines of an indicated
horse power of $500 and capable Of
developing speed of Is knots or bet
ter.
The mean draught of the vessel will
be "A feet s inches and the coal SUD-
f'' ''o 'oHS NtlitS -SIN 1eet nine
inches is the maximum draught. and
If shot should pierce the hull be-
meath the water line, a layer of corn
plth, placed between the outer and in
ner shells, will swell and effectually
stop the leak. The ships complement
will include A. officers ana 761 men.
The total cost of the Louisiana will
be in the neighborhood of $4,000 600.
The progress of her construction is be-
ing watched intently by naval officers,
constructors and shipbuilders general
ly owing to the competition between
the private company that is building
her and the New York navy yard
which is constructing the Connecticut.
The construction of these two battle
ships, which are practically identical
and the keeis of which were laid at the
same time, is intended to show whether
the government can successfully COM
pete with the private shipbuilders in
constructing our Warships The New
port News company has won the race
so far in regards to time and naval
experts seem to be of the opinion that
the private concern will also succeed
in turning out the battleshp at a
lower cost that the government navy
