s immense Steel Dry Dock Dewey {
! Nov on Way to the Philippines )


The great steel dry dock Dewey.
which left Solomon's Island Dec. %,
to be towed fourteen thousand miles
to the Philippines, is now we'll started
on her voyage, and if all goes we'll
the powerful naval vessels which are
hauling the immense and unwieldy
structure will not stop until they
reach the entrance to the Suez canal,
says a. dispatch from Baltimore to the
New York Herald.
IN towing the dock, hawsers having
a total length of 1920 fathoms, or
l4O yards more than a mile and a
quarter, will stretch between the
ships and the dock. This great
length Of hawser, together with the
lengths of the ships and the dock,
will make a tow Of about one mile
and three-quarters.
These giant machines hooked up
will present a dazzling spectacle on
clear nights. The four ships convoy
ing the dock are fully equipped with
electricity in the way Of search and
signal lights, and each ship and the
dock are equipped with wireless teleg-
raphy, SO that communication should
be perfect. There are spare hawsers
and chains, and a vast quantity of
coal will be, used.
To the dock will be fastened forty

Pola dock, owned by the Australian
government, AGO feet long, with a Ca.
pacity of $4,000 tons, and the Stet-
tin dock, owned by Germany, $40 feet
long and lifting 1000 tons.
A novel feature Of the dock is it's
ability to dock itself. All steel YES
sells take on a marine growth on their
bottoms, which necessitates hauling
them out every year or SO, as their
life depends on receiving paint to pro-
tect the hulls. Docks now ahoat are
so gigantic that they cannot be dock
ed to be cleaned or repaired, with
the exception Of the Dewey.
The Dewey can release the two
side walls and disconnect the three
pontoons that are Joined together in
the flooring or hull. Then the two
smaller pontoons are filled with Wa
ter and sunk under the larger or cen
tire pontoon. They are then pumped
out, and the two smaller steel pom.
toons rise with tho larger one on top
Of them.
When it is desired to dock tn,
smaller pontoons the conditions are
reversed. The big centre pontoon il
sunk and the two smaller ones placed
on it, and the big one pumped out to
raise the little ones.

The golfers Brutus and Caesar and
the supply ship Glacier are to tow
the Dewey. The tug Potomac is to
be used partly as a rudder for the

sea errands, such as putting into
ports for supplies. i
In addition to the great nine thou
sand pound anchors there are four
mushroom or umbrella" anchors of
four thousand pounds each on the
Dewey. These are designed as the
permanent, anchors of the dock, and
are to be used on each corner. To
each of the great anchors are 125

Limit Of Power to Control.

We don't know much about politics,
but If the president is to have power
to control, through men appointed by
him, the prices charged for transport
tation on our railroads, we do not
quite understand why he should not
have the same power in regard to
steamboats,, interstate express compa-
MES, telegraph and telephone compa-
MES, and so on to the end of the chap
ter, including, perhaps, the prices of
things in states where they are not
manufactured, and if one of these
days an ambitious rascal of the Ma
poleon stamp should manage to get
into the White House, with all this
power and the army and navy behind
him, and should take a fancy to dis
tinguish himself, under the Monroe
doctrine, by attempting to conquer the
world, we wonder what would become
of II free republic?-George II. An

the use of the dock machinery only.
1t is generally calculated that the
Dewey will make about 100 miles a
day, which would require 124 days for
the passage, OF four months, if the
dock goes straight through without~.a
stop. 1t is believed, however, that the
dock will be. five or six months on the
cruise.
The cost of the trip can only be
surmised. The Boston Towboat COM
pay got $25 900 for taking the dry
dock Algiers from Baltimore to New
Orleans, and there was an insurance
on the dock Of $50, 900 for the voyage.
1t is current report that the dues
through the Suez canal will be $780,
900. .
The Dewey was built at the plant
Of the Maryland Steel company, in a
great excavation near the water
front, just outside of Baltimore. When
it was completed a bulkhead that

STEEL CASES FOR BEER.
More Convenient and Durable and
Eventually Cheaper Than Wood.

More Convenient and Durable and
Eventually Cheaper Than Wood.
Steel packages are supplementing
the ordinary wooden boxes used for
transporting beer in bottles" said Ru-
dolph Schmidt of Cleveland. They are
not only more convenient and durable.
but also considerably cheaper in the
long run. I have already referred to
their durability, which is beyond any
question, but being smaller and light
err than the ordinary wood container,
they are a great saving to large ship
ping brewers, who have not been slow
to see the many advantages held out
by this new invention. Taking up
less room for an equal number of bot
ties, more packages can be packed into
a freight car, making an additional
saving in icing charges of refrigerator
cars possible. These new containers
have been on the market only about
two years, but in that short time they
have convinced leading brewers of
their practical value and are being
fast adopted by these conservative
business men."-Milwaukee Sentinel.

When heavy weather comes on at
sea the bottom sections of the Dewey
will be filled with water until the
body of the mass of steel is submerg.
ed and only the side walls extend
above the surface to the wind, which,
it has been calculated, may reach a
pressure of thirty pounds to the
square inch.
There will be no effort to tow the
vessel while it is partly submerged.
The towing vessels will simply hang
on, drifting along with the giant
where the wind chooses to send it,
and waiting until the storm blows
itself out, for no Roadway can be
made with such a tow in heavy wealth
er.
On the starboard side is a machine
shop, quarters for officers and crew,
kitchen and bathrooms. The machine
shop is forward. 1t is fitted with ev-
cry appliance for minor repairs. On
this side Of the dock is the distilling
apparatus, which has a capacity of g.
500 gallons of sea water a day. 1t
will be used principally for feeding
the boilers. Three tanks contain the
distilled water. An electric light plant
on the port side gives light for the
entire structure. 't
Running clear through the side
walls Of the Cock is a thorough ven
ti!ating system, u large fan whirilng
fresh air into every corner. 1t is pro-
PEELED by steam. Nentilators are thus
dispensed with, except over the boil
er room, where there are two.
At the forward end of the dock y
bridge connects the walls. Two life
boats are carried. The members Of
the crew will get double pay and free
passage home. -

before, and they have been caused by

five fathoms of 2h inch chain for a
bride. To this will be fastened 100
fathoms of hawser made up Of two
15-inch manila hawsers seized to-
gether. From this will go to the ship
nearest the dock 200 fathoms Of G.
inch steel hawser. From ship to ship
will stretch 100 fathoms of 15-inch
manila and 200 fathoms of 6-inch
wire hawser.
One of the most important factors
in the towing Of the dock are the
automatic towing machines, which
are an American invention. These
are depended upon in a large measure
to make the undertaking compare
lively safe. The resistance Of the tow
is borne entirely by the steam pres
sure in the cylinders of the towing
machine, which consists Of a reel or
drum upon which the steel wire haw-
sers wind and unwind automatically.
in the crank shaft of the engine,
which meshes with the gear on the
drum shaft. The machine has a regu-
lating reducing valve, in which the
opening is increased or diminished
according as the strain on the tow
ing hawser increases or diminishes.
In q soaway, as the vessel rises on
a wave or sea. thus increasing the
strain ca the hawster, the drum be-
Gins to revn]ye and to pay out or
sack the hawser. This action of the
s',awser opens the regulating valve
and increases the steam pressure in
the cylinders until the pressure is
sufficient to ~cqualize the strain on
the hawser. Then, as the strain on
the hawser decreases, the pressure
in the cylinders will revolye the drum
ard wind in the slack Of the hawser.
In this way the machine is prevent
ed from paying out the whole Of the
nawser and only enough is paid out
to relieve the extra and momentary
strain on the line and thus prevent
It's injury or breaking. The regulat-
ing valve, whic. admits and cuts off
the steam TO and from the cylinders,
is entirely automatic and requires no
handling whatever. An independent
admission valve is provided, by which
steam is admitted to the cylinders
