FLORIDA WILL BEl

A COLOSSAL FIGHTER

Brooklyn Navy Yard Will Construct-

the Mighty Ship Which Will Bear I

Our States Name on the Seas I

New York Sept 3It is likely thatthe present month will witness thelaying of the keel of the Florida thebiggest and most powerful of the ves ¬

sels of Uncle Sams navy The 20000ton leviathan of the seas will be con ¬

structed at the Brooklyn navy yardand when completed will be the mon ¬

arch of the United States navy andthe equal in fighting power and ton ¬

nage of any other ship afloatThe contract to build the Florida I

was given to the local yard after oneof the greatest campaigns ever waged-to force the navy department to letthe workers of the Brooklyn navyyard build her Boards of trade con-gressmen

¬ I

senators and every one thatcould exert authority with the Wash-ington

¬

officials were fighting nightand day to get the battleship builthere

The argument of the experts in t

Washington was that private builders I

could construct a warship or any oth ¬

er kind of vessel cheaper and quickerthan government workers At thetime it was all going on Vie collierVestal was started at the navy yardFrom Naval Constructor Baxter down-to the humblest apprentice the feel ¬

ing was rampant that the only thing-to be done to have the ship built herewas to show good results in the Ves ¬

talNow that this giant collier is fin ¬

ished and all records for quick andcheap construction are broken themen at the navy yard are waitingwith Interest for the keel of the Flor ¬

ida to be laid Although the building-of a battleship is a greater task thanthe construction of a collier the work-ers

¬

at the navy yard have no fear that I

they will not make as good a record-on the Florida as they did on the i

Vestal for they have also built the l

battleship Connecticut now the pride I

of the navyThe new fighting monster is so

much larger than the Connecticut theways on which the latter was builtwill have to be lengthened a hundred I

feet To do this part of a storehouse-will

I

have to be razed as there is notroom for the extension of the ways-on the landside After the building israzed and the ways lengthened they I

will be undermined so that the rail ¬

road of the navy yard can pass be-

neath¬

them-Another interesting feature of the I

building of the new battleship is thefact that a new monster cantilever-crane will be erected so that the steeland other material will be hauled tothe workers nearly twice as fast as

were while the Vestal was being-built The crane is now in the course-of construction and will be ready soonafter the Florida is started

REUTERDAHLS VIEWS

Thinks We are Wasting Money enI

Naval ConstructionHenry Reuterdahl the naval critic

who caused so much excitement lastspring by poking holes in the UnitedStates navy has an article in Co-lliers

¬

for August 29 on the Dread ¬

nought the AllBigGun Battleship-He says

The introduction of smokeless pow-

der¬

and telescope sights plus the newgunnery training as founded by CaptPercy Scott of the British navychanged the entire laws of gunfireThe turret gun from being a slowcumbersome weapon one round everyfive minutes in the Spanish war andno hits has become an instrument ofprecision and accuracy Possessingsuperior penetration and a largerdanger space the twelveinch gun

will do great damage Its rate of fireis now more than two shots a minuteA fleet of Dreadnoughts each mount ¬

ing ten twelveinch guns will delivera greater volume of hitting than afleet of small ships with mixed bat-teries

¬

These new principles and thefact that modern action is fought atlong ranges have reduced the mediumcalibre gun to its proper function anantidote against destroyers Its onceso popular hail of fire will haveenough stopping power to effectively-sink torpedo craft before comingwithin attacking range

Can Control Gun Range-

No matter how accurate may bethe aim of the man behind it be-comes

¬

useless unless the fire of thegun is properly controlledI e di ¬

rected The duty of the firecontrolofficers is to carefully ascertain therange between the ship and the en-emy

¬

so that the pointers shot mayalways reach

The most important part of the fun ¬

damental process is that observersstationed aloft watch the fall of thevarious shots and decrease or in ¬

crease the ranges as telephoned toeach gun thereby correcting the ini ¬

tial faults of the mechcanical rangefinding instruments or the errors ofths gunpointers In a ship of mixedguns seveninch eightinch andtwelveinch carried by our Con-

necticut¬

this function becomes verydifficult It is almost an impossibility-in the heat of the action to disting¬

uish between the splashes made inthe water by the projectiles from thedifferent guns Should the spottermistake the splash of an eightinch-shell and take it for the fall of atwelve and give his direction on thatbasis the next shot of course would-be a miss The fact that all the tenguns of the biggun ship are alikereduces the spotting to an exactscience and thereby doubles the hit ¬

ting power of her battery All theguns of this new type are on the samedeck and can be fired as rapidly asdesired There is no interference asin a smaller ship where the firing ofthe seven or six inch pieces beingmounted on a deck below hinders theaccurate sighting of the turret gunsabove

Mobility of the DreadnoughtsMobility of forces is the necessity-

of war and the greater the mobility-the greater the chance to gain a stra ¬

tegic advantage This is represented-in speed and fuel endurance The

voring their Own gunfireWhile the tremendous power of I

concentration invested in the tentwelveinch guns of a Dreadnought isthe prime reason for the creation ofthis new type of fighting craft itscost is much less than four little shipshaving the same power

It costs no more to maintain thebig ship than the small roundly amillion a year Nor does it require agreater number of officers to man itin fact it requires less men to servethe ten guns of one of our new Dread ¬

Cruise

Deer Island Maine Sept 3Searching parties are trying to find thebodies of seven persons drowned from I

a capsized sloop in Penobscott baySix women and one man were in the I

With Capt Samuel Haskell the I

party of lighthearted summer people I

started out for a sail in Penobscotbay It was drawing near the close I

of the vacation season for most ofthem and they had planned this as I

their last outing together The windwas from the southwest and squallyThe sloop was of the open variety-It had no deck forward and no cabin I

and it contained no ballast as theparty of ten weighed the boat down I

quite heavily and Capt Haskell anI

experienced navigator in these watersthought that the craft would be well 1

balanced The party had scarcelyIbeen gone an hour before the wind

freshened up keeling the sloop well I

over and dashing the spray upon theoccupants Late in the afternoonCaptain Haskell decided that the windwas too heavy for his boat and thesea to choppy so he brought the slooparound and started homeward-

All the party were perched high upon the weather side as the sloop cutthrough the waves with the water al ¬ I

most coming over the gunwales on thelee side when Capt Haskell gave ashout of warning that he was going totack and threw over the tiller Just-at this moment the boat rose highupon a wave exposing her to the fullbrunt of the wind An unusually I

¬

for a machine which is guaranteed-to open at least 400 letters a minutehas just been granted to Miss SophieHeilbrun who is not more than twentyyears of age and looks more like aschool girl than one who puzzles herbrains with the intricacies of machin-ery

I

But Miss Heilbrun is at the head ofI

one of the biggest mail order depart ¬

ment in New York City and receives-a salary of 6000 a year Her de-

partment¬

receives an overage of 10000letters a day and the labor of openingthese took so long that she set hermind working up a machine whichwould expediate it

It was the natural result of theneed of it as so many inventions areshe said In my department I receive-on an average of 10000 letters a dayTo open these a large force of girls is

I required and the most expert letteropener cannot open more than thirty-a minute with the oldfashionedprimitive letter slicer With the newmachine which does not need a train-ed

¬

operator between 400 and 500 canbe opened at the same time
