20 years IS OF no use whatever. There
IS nothing to be done with IL but to
sell il for junk.
The vessel may be just as good as
ever, but newer types far surpass il in
point Of speed and in range OF guns.
Hence it would have no chance in a
fight at sea . At the same time. the
hull is in firstclass condition. and the
armour excellent
What. then. to do with such outofdate
ships OF WARP The answer offered is
that they might be placed permanent
" on shoals at entrances to harbors or
rivers, being turned into fixed coast
forts Their lack OF speed would then
be Of no account, and a range for their
guns beyond six miles would not be
necessary.
This, it IS suggested, might be &C
cOmplished by putting down rows of
piling in such a way as to form cof-
ferdam big enough to contain the ship.
Other piles might be driven to support
her keel The mud and sand could then
be dredged out, and the ship floated in
and allowed TO settle on the bed thus
provided. The cOfferdaM could there
upon be closed and filled in with sand
to a point above the vessels protective
deck, her whole exterior being further
defended by a grOuting Of cement
Thus situated, the ship. while abso-
lutely safe from torpedo attack and
fairly so from serious damage by gun
fire, would provide an admirable gun
platform With her machinery re-
such as was required for
operating her turrets and ammunition
hOists. and for pointing her guns-she
would have ample space for q garri-
son Of one or more companies Of coast
artillery. Several such forts located
at strategic points. would insure the
safety OF a seaport against attack by
a hostile fleet.

w The Germans 1Dni a are said i5-y to b.
preparing TO invade England
with the help OF floating forts
built in sections, so as TO be transport
able by rail; unsuitable. prOjectile-
proof. and torpedo proof, and equipped
with guns Of greater range and power
than those carried by any battleship.
In view Of this report, it is interest
ing TO consider the fact that Herr
Krupp, the kaiser's great gun maker,
patented in the United States. Dec. 19,
1881, a floating fort Of circular shape,
consisting. Of a series Of water. tight,
corF-fflIed steel boxes surrounding a
central opening
This Cin the terms Of the PATENT
was merely a technical description, the
contemplated fort being a floating
structure OF great size-each Of the
socaIled boxes" designed to serve as
a platform for a rlfled gun Of large
caliber. The whole affair, as viii be
understood, was to be ringshaped; and
it was TO have a double skin, or wall.
Of steel
Is Like Japanese Top.
Nearly everybody has seen the ingen-
iOus japanese tops which, while spin
ming. resolve themselves into q whole
lot Of smaller tops. the latter continu-,
ing 10 gyrate. The idea of Herr krupp.s
floating fort was in a way rather SINH
lar, each Of its parts being capable Of
acting independently, so that the an
uular group could be broken I'D IL de-
sired. its boxlike members floating off
on their own hook, so to speak, each
with its own gun and individual crew,
ammunition and stores
IL is easily realized how disconcert-
ing to an enemy would be a military
contrivanee Of this kind, capable Of re
solving itself at viii into a number OF
widely separated units There might
even be a whole fleet OF such floating
forts. which, splitting up into multi
tude Of small ones, would offer targets
not easy to hit, while assailing the enc
my simultaneously from all points Of
the compass.
such floating forts as the Germans
might use against England would sure
IL possess the advantage Of being mag
nificent gun platforms. The guns. hav-
ing the advantage Of solid and steady
empIacements would be far superior in
accuracy of fire to those Of the enemy's
battleships. They might be Of so much
greater caliber and range than those
carried by any ship that hostile fleet
venturing an attack would be likely to
suffer enormous damage.
would Be Hard to Damage.
On the other hand it might be diff
cult for the most formidable fleet of
dreadnaughts to inflict substantial in
jury upon a fort Of this description.
Too substantially constructed to be
materially damaged by torpedoes, its
vital parts-machinery, magazines for
ammunition, etc-,-would all be under
water. while the deck, or roof if such
it might be called would be so nearly
on a level with the surface Of the
waves that there would be little to
fear from the enemy's gunfire. Both
turrets and guns might be protected
by impenetrable bulwarks; or il is con-

MOTHER AND GIRL
SPEAK FOR CAUSE

Twelve Year-Old Daughter Speaks
Eight Languages, is Musician and
Writes Poems.
A lecture by mother and her IL
year-old daughter was recently held
under the auspices of the Equal Stuff
range League of Norfolk, Va. Wini-
fred Sackville Stoner, Jr., who has
been brought up under Mrs. Winifred
Sackville Stoner's system of natural
education, speaks eight languages flu
emily, has written several books OF
poems, has taught class in Esperan-
to in Chicago, passed entrance exam
nations to college several years ago,
can play the violin, dance and is an
expert swimmer. Both she and her
mother, who were the speakers, are
ardent suffragists.
The meeting was also unique in an
other way. Admittance was free, but
the suffrange league had only 100
chairs, which they gave TO the first
Corners. Afterwards those who needed
additional seats found them for sale
at the auditorium door. The chairs
thus bought were left behind by the
purchasers as a donation to the league,
which in this way gained 10 much
needed chairs.
