Why Iron Ships Float.

A battleship floats for the same rea-
son that cork does-that is, because
It Is lighter than water. This may
seem odd at first, since the battleship
is built Of steel plates, heavily armored
with steel and heavily loaded with big
guns. But a battleship, like all other
ships, is hollow, and, with all its
weight, it is lighter than the bulk of
the water it displaces. Every boat
sinks just far enough in the water to
displace a weight of water exactly
equal to its own weight.-St. Louis Re
public.
