Floating Batteries for Coast and Harbor Defense. In the Naval Appropriation bill passed last March provision was made for the ex penditure of $2,000,000 for floating batteries or rams or other naval structures, to be used fur coast and harbor defense. tary Whitney appointed a board of naval officers to consider the best method of ex pending this money. Monitors with the heaviest guns that can be mounted are to be the principal reliance tor offensive and de- fensiye warfare. About them, as auxiliary means of attack, are to be grouped armored torpedo boats fitted with rams, sub- aqueous torpedo boats and the ordi nary first-class torpedo hoats It will be remembered that the Fortification Board recommended the construction of floating batteries. The unfinished double turreted monitors Amphitrite, Monadoock, Puritan, Terror and Miantonomoh it was tound would, if finished with Secre modern ap- THE NEW pliances, furnish the main reliance for coast | Illinois defense. The improvement in beavy ord- nance is such that land fortifications can hardly be relied upon to repel the attack of an invading fleet. Floating batteries would be a necessity, and none have been found more effective than the monitor type with a turret, the very minimum of size as in objectto be fired at, while as a defensive vessel, it can carry the heav- lest gums that can be mounted But the plan now teing carried out does not p at asystem of defensive warfare. The FURNACE Puritan is a type of the class of sea-going | monitors, and is now being completed. She vill carry four 10-inch guns and have 30) inches of freeboard. Her coaling capacity vill be 400 tons—enough to steam with from | New York to Panama, ard have sufficient ‘elt to maneuver the vessel ina fight. She will be able to earry 100 rounds for each gun, and will be supplied with torpedo nets and very heavy machine gun batteries. Each monitor will have as accessories ‘rom eight to ten torpedo boats, rams and Subaqueous torpedo boats. For this pur- pose Congress appropriated $2,co0,000. The armored torpedo boat may perhaps be better | been. understood as a monitor without a turret, so | | thence grading down to a trivial matter of built that it will deflect shots from the larg- ®st guns, make great speed, and, beivg htted with rams, will also be capable of Cestroying the netting which surrounds armored vessels while it moves directly agatnst the side of an enemy’s vessel. These | New York, pedo boat will be fitted toexplodein very con ceivable way the most destructive material. known to modern warfare. Another feat ure of the auxiliary plan is the employmen of first class torpedo boats in conjunction with the armored torpedo boats, so that while the latter may make it possible to reach tne side of the vessels of an attacking fleet the swift torpedo boats may take advantage of the work and surround the vesselsattacked. Of this class it is proposed to have from four to six for each mouitor. | Except where shore batteries can be erected with a certainty of being used to the greatest advantage, military men are of the opinion rhat the main reliance for harbor and coast | defense is such a system as the naval board | is now engaged in develuping. —— | furnace plant Great Ditching Scheme in Illinois. There has heretofore been a mar-h of some 200,000 acres in extent on the west | side of Mason County, which lies along the tetht eee rtereerepetee: Fig. 1 PLANT OF THE TENNESSEE CO River, that stream making the western boundary. This marsh, since the settlemert of the State, has been great duck and other game hunting grounds, though considerable of a nuisance to the farmers living on its borders. This marsh has recently been drained by the Mason County Ditch Company, consisting of the farmers owning the adjoining lands and the outside proprietors of the marsh lands. The main ditch is 60 feet wide at top. 40 feet at bottom, and 8 feet deep. It is 15 miles long, has a fall of 4 feet to the mile, and drains with its laterals, which are 30 feet wide at top, 15 at bottom, and with a depth to cor- respond with the mains, from 200,000 to 300,000 acres. The cost of the whole is estimated to be $200,000, and $75.000 more then it should have been with careful management. The contractors get 15 cents a cubic yard for doing the work, and that is scents per yard more than it should have The earth removed is sand and clay mixed, and offers little resistance to the machinery. The dredge doing the work floats in the water of the ditch and makes 100 feet progress every day. The assessed cost on some of the drained land will ultimately amount to $25 per acre, and money. The work has been in progress for several years, and meantime the Jand drained has produced surprising crops of wheat and corn. This year—the year of severe drouth—mat Doats will also be so planned as to carry, | ters have not progressed as favorably in if becessary, dynamite guns throwing the serial torpedo. In this way the armed tor | thousands of acres of respect to crops, Fos ‘firing ” in corn having been lost by rian rae ee ' Conf ia! }Company, comprise Thursday, November sudden withdrawal of The thoughtful among the pre scheme and owners ot |the land are now that they have | made a mistake in nut providing for holding a vortion of the water, and recognize the fact that the ditch is twice the dimensions it should have been. If it were not for the fail—4 feet to the mile—a few locks or dams would hold the water when it will be needed for crops ; but now it will take many. consequ@nce of th ithe usual moisture jectors of the aware — a The New Ensley Farnace Plant.

[The four furnaces are built from designs furnished by Messrs Gordon, Strobel & Laureau, Limited, Phila delphia, and megssure 20 feet diameter at the boshes, and are 80 feet high from hearth to turnace platform. They are designed to embody tie best and most recent features of furnace construction, and the aim has been to render them models of convenience and efficie’ cy. Each furnace is expected to make an output of 180 tons per cay with a fuel covsumption of 2500 pounds per gross ton, and is supplied with four Gordon. Whit well-Cowper hot blast stoves, built from the designs of the same firm of engineers. Three stoves only are required to heat the blast, while the fourth is reserved for use while one of the others is being cleaned or relieved. Keach set of stoves is provided with a sep arate culd-blast pipe, with a cut-off valve at each engine. Ample boiler power is furnished for the four furnaces by 64 double-flue boilers Teen MIA = 4 oa as ‘ ty ¥ | | base ot the downe SL2.50 a Year, lvncluding Postage.

A spiral stuirway ascends around the downeomer, permitting the access to the upper explosion door and furnace bridge when the hoist is not in us¢ Fig. 3 illustrates the Gordon-Whitwell Cowper hot blast stove Since the intro duction of this stove, two years avo. its applications bave been numerous, and, as the records of its efficiency show, it has contributed largely to reduction of fuel con sumption at the furnaces where it has been installed. As before stated, in the present plant each furnace is provided with four G rdon-Whitwell Cowper stoves, making 16 in all, each being 20 feet diameter by 6s feet hizh Some details in regard to the operation and construction of these stoves wiil prove — — | —~ wobhnereloreeke *y PHT TT a || Wh TI Wt tH] Pea TEE TERT bhi ptt PLY of ik tu TO ini eee ea eee ee ta yo ea (aan Boe were) Iam dia) O —=_ = ttt Apteees ge 7. ENSLEY CITY, NEAR the South that the Pratt Coal Mines are| 48 inches x 34 feet, with two 15-inch flues the largest and by far the best developed in the entire region, producing a good metal- | lurgical coke. These mines were originally | the property of the Pratt Coal Company, but through the purchase of the Alice Fur- nace Company became the property of the | Pratt Coal and Iron Company. Their out- put at present supplies, with one or two exceptions, all the blast furnaces in the neighborhood of Birmingham, while their shipments to other points meet the demands of an extensive trade throughout the South At present the total output of these mines | is in the neighborhood of 3500 tons per day, but, owing to an increasing trade and the requirements of the new furnace plant at Ensley City, this capacity will be during increased the ensuing winter to 5000 tons daily. The extensive ore deposits of this company, formerly the property of the Alice Furnace several miles of the famous Red Mountain tract. This property covers a vein ranging from 10 to 20 feet of workable ore, which has been mined to a depth of 300 feet. A large area of brown ore, situated in the’adjacent valley, is also the property of this company. The new furnaces and the coal mines are located at Ensiey City, and the distauce to the ore bed will in no case exceed 10 miles, while Jarge deposits of limestone are found in the inter- vening valley. The economy with which the ores may be mined, the regularity and extent of the coal fields, the good coking quality of the coal and the convenient loca tion of limestone combive to make the in each boiler. The boilers are set in bat teries of four each, with breeching pipes connecting each pair of batteries, the smoke water supply, which is obtained from the adjacent river. The casting-houses, 60 x 175 feet, are built of brick with wrought-iron roofs. The stockhouse, 75 x 660 feet, is |constructed of timber, the track arrange |ments being designed with the view of pro moting the economy with which supplies may be handled. The engine-house, <9 x 106 feet, is bwilt of brick, and and heaters. The hoist towers are con broad and convenient in arrangement. Fig. 2 represents a sectional view of the | furnaces. top of which are secured the mantel brackets, which in turn support the mantel of the furnace. The bustle pipe is suspended from the mantel bracket by means of ad justable rods. water cooled plates, the which admits of their being withdrawn and replaced without injury to the brickwork. The tuyere stocks are of the improved Gor don type, in which the use of the ball joints renders the setting and adjusting of the blow- | pipes a very simple operation.
