Tho Turret Battery.

Early In the nineteenth century, in
1912, Colonel John Stevens conceived
the idea of the construction of an iron
plated vessel of war with saucer
shaped hull, propelled by screws so ar
ranged as to give rotary motion to
the structure. The battery was to be
Of the heaviest ordnance of the time
and the plating heavy enough to resist
the shot of similar guns at short range.
The main purpose Of the craft was
harbor defense, and the plan of action
was to moor the vessel by chain
leading down through the bottom Of
the ship at Its center and to spin 1t
around this center, firing gun after gun
MS 1t came In the line of fire, thus an
ticipating the later Timby turret. which
In turn was the germ of the modern
monitor armorclad. Such vessel was
actually built half century later by
the Russian government and was a
good representative Of the first Stevens
battery.-Cassier's Magazine.

With this evideDc, Schneider called

raided the cell OF the midnight worker
They found 1t to be a veritable coun

Wet minted five mark pieces. The con.

the prison inspector where his coming

found the dies and brought them itc
