DESIGNED TO BIGHT. WHAT A REAL BATTLESLIP IS LIKE. An Officer of >• Monitor In Rc*j*on*il>lr for a New Ifeftiffii That May Be of (treat Value in l lie Navy Not a Thing of Beauty. The accompanying sketch was made by a naval officer who has had some experience on the larger monitors. It represents In a general way his con ception of the ideal battleship. All ships are compromises, and this de sign departs materially from the well- I known and approved monitor type in having a superstructure forward. This feature enables the ship to maintain | DESIGNED TO EIGHT, h :r speed In & head sea, which I; who! ly impracticable with the ordinary monitor, although a »oa abeam has but little effect on the speed of tills pe culiar craft. For about two-thirds of Its length the design presents a free board of only thirty Inches, which may bo considered the monitor standard. The freeboard at the bow is ten feet. The twelve-inch gun:-, are well located for sea work, being eighteen feet above the water line. The turrets ore housed In barbette*. The height of each b.ir betic above the deck is twelve and one- • TUB COU ilMA, Till-: l-WMTBST VC rfSKl.

The smokepipo Is utilized as a mart, and carries tho usual fighting top and signal yard. The top of the smoke pipe is 100 feet above the water line, and as the fighting top is fifteen feet below the smoke outlet, tho men at the lop guns ought not to suffer any discomfort from smoke. The bar bettes and conning tower rest on the main deck, which is two inches thick. The side armor Is continuous and has a mean thickness of twenty inches, twen ty-four inches amidships, tapering to sixteen inches at the ends. The depth of side armor is six and one half feet. Tho thickness of armor on turrets, bar bettes, and conning tower is twenty inches. The length of the vessel on water lino is 300 feet; beam, seventy feet; draught forward and aft, twenty and one-half foot; displacement, about 8, C0O tons; twin screw; indicated horse power, r. 000; speed, about thirteen and one-half knots per hour; coal capacity, 000 tons; main battery, four twelve inch and six four-inch guns; secondary battery, six six-pounder rapid-firing guns and two thirty-seven mm. Ilotch ki-s revolving cannon. The sketch represents the ship clear ed for action, tin boats at other times being stored on the superstructure. The presence of a superstructure amidships add.-, much to the comfort of a moni tor's crew and does not Increase her size us a target, as bridges and other gear would in' timber the spare between the turrets and give the enemy as good a mark as does a superstructure. This point is illustrated by a comparison of the Mlnantonomah and the Amphitrlte, tho former having no superstructure.
