Superdreadnaught Maryland
Is First of Four Ships
+ of Her Class
nRv The A.. A. Mar,

NEWPORT. NE0 a Ma
2O.-The superdreadnadA.I IAlJ
land, designed AZ the most
battleship in the world, was lat.
today
The Maryland is the first Of four
ships of her class to be launched and
is one of the ten superdreadnaughts
authorized in the first three year
building program adopted in 1916
With length Of 62t feet over all, a
beam of 81 feet and full load dis
placement Of 32,95O tons. she il the
largest fighting craft built for the
American navy and when commits
stoned will be one of the most pow
erful battleships in the world.
Originally designed to carry twelve
l4-inch rifles, the plans for the ship
were so changed during the war that
she will have instead eight 16-inch
guns-the first of this size ever
mounted on ship. They will be
placed two each in four turrets on the
center line, two forward and two
aft. They will be larger by one inch
than the great guns on the British
ships Of the Queen Elizabeth class
which were used in the bombardment
of the Dardenelles.
Battleships designed since the
Maryland was laid down, however,
will be even more powerful. They
will carry twelve 16-inch rifles and
will measure 6S4 feet over all with q
displacement Of 43,2O0 tons. Their
speed will be 23 knots as against the
2l knots of the Maryland and prac-
tically all previous classes Of Amerl-
can dreadnoughts.
The Maryland's keel was laid on
April "a, 1917, eighteen days after
the United States declared war on
Germany. Work on her was delayed
by reason of the rush in getting out
destroyers 10 fight submarines, but il
has been rushed since the armisticc
and the vessel j. now nearly three
quarters completed. She will be cleo
trically driven BY four propellers. the
power for which will be furnished by
turbines Of approximately $4,000
horsepower Steam will be furnished
by eight oil burning boilers.

Irish Linen Industry.

Irish linen acquired national impor-
lance in the seventeenth century. Dur
ing the reign Of Charles II the extern
sion of the Irish wooden manufacture
appears to have made such rapid
strides that the Jealousy Of English
manufacturers was aroused. Conse-
%quently, an act was passed by the
British parliament prohibiting any ex-
port of wool from Ireland, except to
England and Wales. Not content with
this, another act was passed later for
bidding any export whatever Of wool
or wooden manufacture from ireland.
The wooden trade being thus reduced
to the quantity required for home con-
sumption, rapidly declined, and its
place soon taken by linen manufac-
ture.
The old Irish name for flax was
Thin, closely resembling French lin,
the Latin linum and the English
words lint and linen. Linen dyed
yellow was much worn by the an
cient Irish, the brughaids, or farmers,
being obliged to learn to prac.
tice the cultivation of fax.
