BIGGEST STEAMSHIP AFLoAr

The Mauretania, the greatest steam.
ship aaoat that has been building since
1904, and whose hull has just been
launched on the river Tyne in England
and which was witnessed by two hundred
thousand people, will not be ready for
the initial trip until another autumn.
The mammoth ship is seven hundred
feet long with breadth OF eighty eight
feet and the height Of the smokestacks is
one hundred and fifty-fys feet, with a
diameter of twenty-four feet. It is to be
propelled by turbine engines OF 20, 900
horsepower driving four shafts, each OF
which is fitted with one three-bladed pro-
peller. The Mauretania will carry 300
passengers and with the ships crew
which will number more than 800 there
will be complement of passengers and
crew Of over $780, Some Of the special
features will be the ensuite rooms, the
dining saloon, yeranda cafe, a nursery
for children, electric elevators, q complete
telephone system and special study Of
lighting and ventilation has been made
and no fewer than twelve hundred vim
dows and side lights will be used. Five
thousand electric lights are to be used for
the illumination of the new Cunarder.
The builders claim that such care will
have been expended in the building OF
the structure that it will be as unsuitable
as a ship can be. There are 16. 900 tons
Of steel in the keel. frame and sheeting
and the steel plates that cover the frame
nnmber 26,OO0, the largest being forty
feet long and weighing between four and
five tons. To secure these plates to one
another and to the frame over four mill
lion riyets were used, aggregating in
weight fse hundred tons. This big
ship complies with the requirements as
an armed cruiser for an arment OF twelve
six-inch guns which represent her cffen-
siye powers.
