new SCOUT CRUISERS
Soon to Be Built for the
United States Navy.
WILL HAVE HIGH SPEED
FIRST VESSELS OF THIS TYPE Or
DERED BY UNCLE SAM.
Description Of the Chester, Birming-
ham and Salem-Bids for Their
Construction Opened Today.

Bids were opened at the Navy Depart
ment today for the three scout
cruisers, Chester Birmingham and Salem.
authorized by act of Congress of April II,
1904. The plans and specifications for these
vessels cover an entirely new type of YES
sci so far as the United States navy Is
concerned. and the various features of the
design have been given the most careful
consideration.
The estimated speed, twenty-four knots,
is greater than that of any other cruiser
of the navy, and is exceeded only by
that of the torpedo boats and de-
stroyers and while it is slightly less
than that of the English scouts now build
ing, the difference in speed is more than
compensated for by the ability to maintain
the high speed in all conditions of weather.
more than twice the coal capacity of the
English scouts, and, consequently, great

The plans as fully developed call for a
vessel of the following characteristics:
Length over all, 423 feet inches; breadth,
46 feet s inches; draft, fully loaded, 10 feet
~ inches; depth amidship, SO feet lie

located in separate Compartments, of
combined Indicated horse power OF 10000
The necessary auxillaries and accessories
will be provided in accordance with the
practice of the bureau of steam engineers
ing.
Boilers and other Machinery.
There will be twelve watertube boilers
of the express" type placed in three waters
tight compartments, with total crate sur
face of 692 square feet and total heating
surface of $1,000 square feet The working
pressure Will be 2I5 pounds per square ineh.
The steaming capacity will be such that all
the steam machinery can be run AZ fun
power with an average air pressure IN the
fire rooms of five inches of water. -Four
smoke pipes each seventy-five feet above
the base, will be fitted. An evaporating
and distiiling plant capable of evaporating
and condenslng 1900 gallons of water per
day will be Installed. and refrigerating
plant of two tons capacity will also be
fitted. The vessel will be steam heated
throughout
The vessel will be lighted throughout by
electricity. about 600 incandescent lamps,
twenty-five arc lamps and two stxty-inch
searchlights being contemplated. To sup
various electric-driyen auxiiaries about thes
ship, deck winches, ammunition hoists. yen-
tilation sets, air compressors, etc, three
thirty-two kilowatt steam-driyen generating
SETS of 1916 volts pressure at the terminals,
will be installed in the dynamo room on
the platform deck aft.
The steam steering gear will be of the
usual navy type, with the steering engine
located in a separate watertight compart-
ment aft, and with the usual steering sta-s
lions in the chart house and on the bridges
Two masts will be provided, the foremost
being fitted for the installation of wire
less telegraph. The chart house and emer-
gency cabin In the after end of the fore
castle deck will be of bronze.
Officers Quarters.
The arrangement of the quarters provides
accommodation for commanding officer,
twelve ward room officers, five warrant Of
fcers and $40 men. The quarters for the
officers are located in the after portion of
the vessel with the usual staterooms, mess
rooms etc. as customary in the naval serv-
ice The amidship and forward portions
of the vessel are given up to the crew,
with the usual lavatories dispensary, sick
bay, etc. Quarters for the chief petty

the waterline. forecastle has been pro-
vided above the main deck. for about one
quarter OF the length. and deck houses have
been arranged abaft the forecastle.
Ample subdivision has been made to IN
sure the vessel keeping afioat with no re-
sulting serious change of trim or loss or
stability IL several Of the compartments
are pierced.
Construction of the Hull.
In planning the structural details the
greatest care has been exercised to provide
a hull which shall combine with lightness
the strength and stiffness necessary to sue
cessfully withstand the severe shocks which
the vessel may be called upon to undergo,
and particular attention has been paid to
the longitudinal strength of the vessel and
to the strength of the watertight bulk
heads, that they may be able to with
stand the pressure due to the flooding or
any compartment and thus avoid endan-
gering the vessel as a whole.
The hull will be built Of steel throughout.
Two longitudinal bulkheads will be worked
continuous throughout the engine and
boiler spaces, one on each side, extending
from the bottom of the vessel to the main
deck, and inclined slightly inboard at the
top. In order to avoid any break in the
continuity of the strength of the vessel the
upper and lower strakes of these bulkheads
will extend well beyond the limits of the
machinery spaces, forming large brackets
gradually tapered off. Between these longi-
tudinal bulkheads, and extending through
out the boiler and engine room, an inner
bottom will be worked, so that the vessel
will be well protected from injury in case
of grounding.
Five decks, designated as forecastle, main.
berth, orlop and platform, respectively, will
be worked, the main and berth decks being
continuous from stem to stern. Nickel steel
protection of eighty pounds per square foot
will be worked on the shell plating for
the length of the machinery space. At the
forward end of the machinery space and
the after end of the dynamo room, partial
athwarship bulkheads of forty pounds
nickel steel will be fitted of the same
depth as the adjoining side protection.
Battery on Each Vessel.
The battery consists of twelve three-inch
rapid-fire guns and two twenty one-inch
submerged torpedo tubes. The disposition
of the battery is as follows. One three
inch gun on the forecastle deck, and one
on the main deck aft, with large and I'm.
INSTRUCTED arc of fire In each case; two
three-inch guns. one on each side on the

The freeboard of the vessel is greater
than that of any other vessel in the navy,
being, at the normal draft, 10 feet 81 inches
amidships, "a feet at the stem and y rect
6 inches at the stern. The high freeboard
insures good sea-going qualities, gives great
range of stability and provides a safe and

what It Cost to Discover America.

From T. P.'s Weekly.
Columbus whole feet then was worth
only $1,000. and the admirars salary was
$500 per annum. The two captains were
paid $500 piece and the wages OF the crew
were $3.50 month. It must be remem-
bered. of COURSE, that money in those days
was worth great deal more than It IL now.

On Their Way to Worship.

The early Easter worshipers will include
many mothers of large families, some of
them leaning proudly on the arms of
broad-backed, level-headed, hard-fisted,
Woodworking sons. There will be many
young women who work hard, too. but who
are proud of their toll as the Fifth ave-
nue. belle living near by and still dilly-dal-
lying with slumber can be of her ideness.
Ten chances to one the working girl who
attends the early Easter service at the

they were quite as likely to be East Side
girls as daughters of the Van Astorbilts.
And SO, partly because they were posi-
lively lost in the thronging thousands that
marched the famous two miles and half
every Easter, the members of the smart
set have been dropping out of the parade
for some years. Last year very few of
them were to be SEEM the year before that
they were not quite SO scarce, but this
year the really, truly social elect will be
rare indeed.
But the Easter parade will be very much
in evidence, particularly If the day be line
And as Easter Sunday will fall unusually
late in the season this year. the parade bids
fair to be unusually large.
Begins Early in the Morning.
1t will begin early in the morning-too
early. in truth for those who go only to
see and be seen. Those who frequent 9Th
avenue early on Easter Sunday will be
somewhat of the type of those who made
UP the first Easter parades. AT least, they
will be church goers, truly devout In their
thoughts and destination, for they will be
bound mostly for ST. Patrick's Cathedral
at 5Oth street. From the north and the
south, streaming into the noble thorough
fare from the east and the west through
the cross streets, they will come while got
the morning is gray.
If you wish to see wealth and fashion, If
you wish to look upon those who have
made themselves and the city they dwell
in notorious because of their social extrav-
agances, or if you wish to behold the crowd
of metropolitan Easter sightseers, you viii
not visit the avenue then. But If you wish
to view sober. serious minded throng,
whose individual members doing their
best, week in and week out (and that means
doing a great part of the great city's real
necessary work), whose respect for the day
and its solemn, holy meaning is such as to
make them gladly put themselves to per-
sonal Inconvenience that they may fifty
honor 1t, you will be among those who
tread 9Th avenues pavement next Sunday
morning.
If you are there, 1t is morally certain that
the appearance of the early worsnlpir g
Easter paraders will give you something to
think about. Plenty of the men will be
sturdy, clear-eyed and self-respecting. They
will be deep-chested and brawny, many of
them with tan on their faces, because not a
few of the towns outdoor workers attend
the first sunrise service at st. Patrick 8
on Easter Sunday. If here and there you
see those who lack the appearance of
health and strength. whose eyes are
dimmed. whose carriage is stopped, whose
step is faltering, you may be sure that
these things have come to them with age
with too hard a struggle with the labor
which is necessary that they may eat
bread.
