BRITAIN'S new SEA MONSTERS
OLD DREADNoUGHT OUTCLASS-
ED BY LATEST WARSHIPS.
Superior in Weight, Speed, Size,
Number of Guns and Method
of Firing Broadsides.

Special CabIegram to The Star.
LONDON, June 19.-At the recent
naval review at Spithead for the imperial
press congress it was remarked that in
the fleet the famous Dreadnought was al
ready generally referred to as the old
Dreadnought.'' Exactly what the new
ones, orders for which will probably he
placed in November, will be cannot yet
be said, but they will be heavier and
their guns will be rearraneed, and con-
sequently thry will be bigger ships.
The new Drcadnoushts VIII have ten
13.5 guns mounted in pairs, enc pair for
ward on the center lire and the next pair
abaft the forward pair on the port or
starboard side forward of amidships. in
such a position as Will enable them to
be fred in either broadside. The next
pair will he on the opposite side abaft
Of amidships while the last two pairs
will be mounted aft on the center line,
The fourth pair will be mounted SO IS
to fire over the third and fifth pairs. The
positions of the fourth and fifth pairs on
the present ships are on the same level
on the center line. The new arrange
ment will permit the whole three pairs TO
he fired aft The Arrangement Of the
tunnels and structures amidships must be
altered The guns Will be of 5o calibcrs.
They will be siXty-seven inches long.
The gun hreech will he nearly five feet
IN diameter The ships will have in
creased length and beam, but the meas
urements have not yet been given our.
The new ships, which will be capable
Of firing ten guns III single broadside of
15.GCo pounds. will require practically no
larger crews than the present ships. All
tie guns. which are controlled hydrauli-
cally or by hand power. will be electri-
cally controlled SO that when the guns
Of one barbette cover the barbette or
guns Of another pair the electricity Will
be switched off, making IL impossible To
fire them. The size of the smaller guns
cannot he certainly given as yet, but the
present Dreadnoughts and Saint Eincents
are considered weak in this respect with
their four inchers. The new ships may
have.a battery Of siX-inch guns on each

With the Improvement already great in
propellers and the rapidly increasing dis
covery of the secret of having plenty of
SteaminS power, IL Is expected that the
new ships are sure of making twenty

their greater bulk with its attendant in

In the eleventh lap Chevrolet broke a
valve in a cylinder III such a manner
that it could not be replaced. and he
was forced TO run the rest of the day
with three cylinders. which made his
performance all the more remarkable. To
offset this misfortune. in a measure, the
superior skill with which he and his
mechanician handled the oil cans during

other racer, gained him time of inn

The race, which showed an average cf
1875 miles an hour, was unusually slow
for cars of the" y-horsepower class.
This was even slower than that of the
light power machines in the Indiana

an average speed OF Ilic miles. The big

while they work. The men remain In
this chamber for two hours. removing
distractions, picking up the dummies,
placing them on stretchers and carry
ing them away. There is also ii the
room u machine which records the
amount of work a man may be eN-
pected to do while wearing one of
these helmets. One-half of the large
building in which this rescue room Is
located is used as an auditorium and
several hundred miners and operators
have watched the rescue work drill
through the large glass windows
which separate the auditorium from
the gas-filled chamber. Although
there has beer but little opportunity
so far for the rescue corps to dem
onstrate its efficiency at the mines,
still it has done some good work.
once the helmeted men, while fight
ing a mine fire succeeded in bringing
an unconscious man 10 a place OF
safety, where he was given oxygen
treatment and recovered his senses
in a short time.
1t Is not the intention Of the United
States government to furnish rescue
corps whenever there is a disaster.
The present corps was organized with
the idea of encouraging the mine own-
and miners themselves to form
such organizations. Invitations have
been issued to operators throughout
the country to send picked men to the
experiment station. where they may
watch the government rescuers at
work and later go through the same
training themselves, in order that they
may gain the necessary confidence in
the use of these helmets.
Already a number Of the largest
companies have taken ad-
vantage of this invitation and are or
ganizing rescue corps at their mines,
fully equipped with Oxygen helmets.
In 1907 more than 3.125 men were
killed in the coal mines of the
'ountry-a death rate of ass for every
900 men employed This is from
three to four times as many men per
thousand as are killed in any coal-pro-
ducing country of Europe. where ex-
perimental stations, such as the one
IN Pittsburg have been in operation
FOR several years.
