sengers plying the Atlantic this next month
or more will be prepared to believe that
some Noah or other has set out in his ark.
A vast red box Of steel, 500 feet long, 1874

Here we have the most remarkable cruise
ever undertaken by naval power. The
monster which we have pictured Is the
floating dry dock Dewey" U. 8. N. The
smart little hero of Manila bay has had
thousands Of babies and tens of thousands
of pups or tomcats; but never such a
namesake as this has any naval hero of
earth been honored withal
Some time ago Uncle Samuel awoke to the
fact that should the President get into a
broil with William by Divine Right, or Ed
ward by the Grace of God or some other
squadron would have no place to dock on
the orient.
OF course at Hongkong and Shanghai
dry docks have all along been open to US,
but were we at war with any power neu-
trality would bar the gates of these ship

ned. It contains Hoo tons of steel plates,
hold together by 1000. 900 rivets and painted
over by l30 tons OF red lead and linseed
oil.
Just q word as to how 1t operates: In
form II II q box with bottom and two long
sides but with top and ends missing; or Il
might be called q trough rather than a
box The bottom rests upon great square
tanks eighteen and one-half feet deep
When valves are opened and the sea water
sinks until the floor is suficientiy below
water level for our largest warship to en-
ter between the two pretruding sides Once
the vessel is within, the water is pumped
QUE of the tanks and the great trough rises
until the floor Is well above the wash OF the
sea. The ship inside Immediately drains
dry, and It's bottom. entirely exposed, may
walls, besides being 500 feet long, as stated,
are Ga feet high from the bottom. When
floating by itself 1t draws but 61a feet of
water, but when submerged until the depth

tom goes 63 feet below the surface. After
its completion this fall 1t was lowed to a
point off sullivans Island In Chesapeake
bay and at the mouth of the Piscataqua
river. Here. during series of successful
tests, 1t has been lifting the heaviest bat

It lifts its own bottom out OF the water
while floating only upon its great hollow.
buoyant side boxes. During all of these
successful trials our naval officers were
wondering how in the name OF all that Is
holy they could ever haul such a mammoth
contrivanee clear around to the other side
of the earth. Finally they decided upon
plan, which Is remarkable that we can
dwell upon it with some little detail.
Thirty Men in Box.
An expert tug master was first looked for.
and one was found in Capt, ]. D. Wood of
Norfolk, who has had wealth of expe-
rience in heavy towing along the Atlantic
coast He will live on board the great box
until # arrives at Manila, and up to the
time he lands safely back at Norfolk he
will henceforth receive $3.50 per month. He
will command the docks crew of eight men,
including machinlsts. engineers, firemen.
sailors and electricians, who will stay with
the Dewey in the Philippines. En- voyage
they will be reinforced by twenty-five
civilian sailors, to be discharged when they
reach Manila. Up within the hollow sides
OF the great dock will be abundant living
quarters as good as on the best man-of-
war. In fact. the dock is provided with
state rooms for nine officers, not counting
the space for the crew. They will have
complete distiiling apparatus for making
fresh water and will be abundantly fed
the usual ration allowance of 30 cents a
day being doubled to 60. The civilian
crew will receive the very best merchant

Our Other Docks.
The acquisition OF the Dewey increases
our number of floating naval dry docks to
five The next largest In the world is the
steel dock at Algiers, La. which has lift
ing capacity of 1850. tons and is like the
new enc. sef-docking. Our only other steel
floating dock now at Pensacola Fla. but
formerly at Havana. has r capacity of TO-
000 tons, but cannot dock itself. IL cost
$4,000. Then We have small. old-fash-
N H. and Pensacola. Fla. That at Ports
mouth was built in 1851 is OF an Obsolete
pattern and has lifting capacity of only
100 tons. 1t originally cost over $500. CO.,
and is now unsuitable for lifting any naval
vessel larger than a dispatch boat. That
a PenSac cola is Of similar design cost Si02,-
600 and can lift only 2.2Oo tons.
The navy has also sixteen stationary or
craving dry docks. These are built upon
shore, generally OF concrete and granite,
their sides -being formed in steps which
form a conCave trough for the hulls OF
vessels TO fit in but yet leaving space for
workmen. The end leading out into the
harbor has watcrtight gates like a canal
lock. and after the vessel is hoated into
the dock these are closed. The water Is
then pumped out and the vessel is ready for
repairs. We have four of these at the
Brooklyn navy yard. three at Norfolk, two

The Collier exhibition which opened on
Thursday In the Corcoran Gallery has
proved an event OF much interest. 1t Is
one Of the most comprehensive collections
of original illustrative drawings and paint
ings that has ever been shown in this city.
II not In the country. In the field of decora-
ton and Illustration American artists have
made their most individual contribution,
have been pioneers and innovators. In
these lines especially they have exhibited
freshness of vision and inherent capability.
They have followed no beaten paths, they
have worked in many ways, they have been
original but not arbitrary, free but not un-
tutored. That great progress had been
made in the art of illustrating all were
aware. but how great that progress had
been 1t needed such an exhibition the
present one to properly demonstrate.
Changes wrought gradully that the
various stages of improvement are not
easily marked, but looking back abruptly
great distances VIII seem to intervene be-
tween the several stages. There was little

zines of the sixties to suggest or give prom
ise of the simptuous iilustrations-half-
tones and color reproductions-which make
more attractive the periodicals of our day.
Photography and improved mechanical
processes are undoubtedly partly account
able for the change, but in larger measure
may we credit 1t to tine skill and ability of
the artists themselves Some one has said
with much truth that the public today Is
satiated with pictures-pictures in the news
papers, magazines and books, as well as on
the walls of galleries and shops-and yet It
is equally true that their very saperabun-
dance Is an answer to the public's demand.
This is a restless age, but not an unappre-
ciative one; people tire quickly of poor
work, but are ever ready tot turn with en-
thusasm to a good one which bears the
stamp of originality. Illustratieps have

would have to go to the Philippines by way

additional month. But after investigating
the matter the Navy Department discovered
that the great hulk can, after all, enter
the Suez canal without interfering with
general traffic. Very large tonnage dues
Will have to be paid at the SueZ, however,

at Norfolk in 1927. which is only 332 feet

lengths of our dry docks have had to be
considerably more than doubled to accom-.

in the same proportion.
The Dewey's nearest foreign rival among
floating docks is the famous Bermuda. built
in England. 1t is forty-iive feet longer than
the Dewey, but has a lifting capacity OF

The Society of Beaux Arts Architects
has announced its intention OF founding in
New York national school OF architecture,
pose, and formulating a truly American
style. Just how this is to be done does not
seem quite clear. especially the organi-

naturally advocated the Introduction of
French models and methods. The society
has. however, IL is true, taken a wise and

architecture, and an impetus has undoubt-
