DESCRIPTION OF THE OHIO.

Xw BattlesMa Coatalas Roane Feat arei Aet I'sed Heretofore lax the Tailed States Savy. The Ohio Is a sister ship of the Maine, now building at the works of the William Cramp Sons Ship and Engine Building Company, and of the Missouri, building at the yard of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. The bull, which Is divided like those of the moat recent battleships, is built of steel and Is unsheathed. It la 888 feet long en the load water line. 72 feet 24 Inches ex treme breadth, and at a mean draught of So feet 6 Inches displaces 12,230 tons.

The hull Is protected abreast of the boll era and engines by a side armor belt ex tending 3 feet 6 Inches above the load water line and 4 feet below It, having a thick nesa of 11 inches for a depth of 4 feet inches, tapering to 7Vi Inches at the bottom of the belt, and by the casemate armor 6 lncbca thick, which extends from the sfde belt to the tipper deck, and is worked from the centre of the forward to the centre of the after barbette. At the ends of this casemate armor diagonal armor 9 Inches thick extends from the sides of the vessel to the barbette armor. In the casemate thus formed are placed ten of the six-Inch guns. Above this, on the upper deck, four of the six-inch guns are placed, in the vicinity of which atx-inch armor is worked far enough forward and aft to afford protection to the crews, of these guns. Protection Is afforded the vitals of the ship below the water line by a protective deck worked flat within the casemate, and with slopes forward and aft of it.

The deck Is worked la two thicknesses of plating, the total thickness on the flat being 2 inches, while that on the slopes forward and aft is, respectively, 3 inches atid 4 inches. Cofferdams are built on the protective deck from the diagonal armor bulkheads to the bow and stern in the vicinity of the water line, and on the berth deck for nearly the length of the vessel. All of these cofferdams are filled with corn-pith cellulose, The main battery of the ship consists of four twelve-Inch breech-loading rifles, placed In two balanced turrets, and sixteen six-inch rapid-firing guns. The turrets are turned by electricity, and the motors used for this purpose can revolve one of theae great structures through 300 degrees iu one minute. Tne armor of both the turrets and barbettes is 12 inches thick.

Besides ten 6-inch guns within the dRse-mate two others are on the berth deck forward in 6-lnch armored sponsons, and four are on the upper deck. Those in the spon-sons forward and two bn the upper deck can fire directly ahead, and the other two on the upper deck directly astern, in addition to having a broadside fire. The aecondary battery consists of six 3-inch guns, eight 6-pounder rapid-firing guns, six 1 -pounder rapid-firing guns, two Colts, and two 3-inch rapid-flrtng guna. A new feature introduced In the offensive power ot this ship is the submerged torpedo tube. While submerged torpedo tubes are not new abroad.

German warships having been equipped with them for a number of years, the Ohio and her class are the first battleships of the United States Navy to be supplied with them, though prior to her construction many vessels of the navy were fitted with torpedo tubes above the water line. The Ohio will have two of these tubes, one on each side of the vessel, situated about 50 feet from the bow and about 10 feet 41 inches below the water line. The magazines and ahellrooms of the ship can atow 240 rounds of the 12-incb ammunition. 3.2U0 rounds of 4Mnch ammunition. 9.0U0 rounds of the O-pounder, end 4.UJ0 rounds of the 1 -pounder.

The forward magazines are situated immediately forward of the dynamo rooms, and the after ones Just abaft the engine rooms. There are two military masts, fitted with the usual signal yards, topa, and topmaxta; two tops are built to each of these masts. A steel tube 12 inches la diameter indde extends from the forward conning tower down to the protected deck and protecta the voice tubes and telegraphs. The Ohio carries 14 boats. Bilge keels to educe rolling are fitted to the vessel.

Hydraulic gear Is used In steering the vessel, and can put the rudder from hard a port to hard astarboard In twenty seconds when the vessel is moving at full peed. Four powerful search lights, two of which are placed on the top of the pilot house and two on the mainmast above the upper bridge, will give warning of the ap-rroach of hostile vessels, and for night signaling the ship carries two sets of electric- -signaling apparatus. The Ohio and her class are the first bat-tleshlpa of the United States Navy la which water-tube boilers were provided. Steam for the propelling machinery Is supplied by water-tube boilers of the Thorneycroft type placed in four water-tight compartments. There are three smoke pipes.

The collective Indicated horse power of the main engines is about when the vessel Is making a greed of 18 It should be stated here that the Ohio ranks next to the Georgia class of battleships In the navy in regard to speed. A refrigerating room on the berth deck forward furnishes cold stornar th hip is supplied with an lee machine of the- aense-air type mat can produce the cooling effect of two tons of Ice per day. Only such wood material as was deemed absolutely necessary ts used In the construction of the vessel, and all of this except the armor backing ia thoroughly fireproof. The construction of the Ohio and her class was authorised by Congress on Msy 4. IWtH.

when the Spanish war demonstrated the wisdom of a much greater Increase of the navy. The kei waa laid April 22. ISXfti. and the contract price of hull and machinery Is 2.4t,nuo. Her complement is 35 officers and oil men.

U. S. TORPEDO BOAT LAUNCHED. The Biddle Named by the Great-Great-' Grand Nleca of Capt. Biddle.

BATH. May IK. The torpedo boat Biddle. buUt for the United States Navy, was successfully launched from the Bath Iron Works to-day. The Biddle Is a sister torpedo boat of the Bagley and Barney.

A few days ago their official trial trips, to which each showed speed more than a knot in excess of the 28 knots required by contract, were made. The Biddle cost Miss EmHr Biddle of Philadelphia, as the boat glided down the way bruke a 'bottle of American champagne over the bows and named the craft.

From the Most Ponderous to the Most Delicate Machinery to be Made-Trade in Foreign Lands. The consolidation of the E. P. Allls Company of Milwaukee, the Fraser ft Chalmers. Incorporated, of Chicago; the Gates Iron Works of Chicago, and the Dickson Manufacturing Company of Scranton, will be of remarkable scope.

The new concern will furnish the heavy engines, the crushing machinery, the delicate apparatus, and everything else necessary for the mechanical part of mining, and for mining everything from ponderous Iron and coal to the microscopic diamonds and rubiea of South Africa "fcnd The firm of E. P. Allls tt Co. has chiefly concerned itself with the manufacture of very large engineer The Reynolds type of the Corliss engine, named from Edwin Reynolds, the engineer of this company, drives the tramway system of central London; it supplies tne power for the tramways, of Glasgow, Dublin, Barcelona, and many other cities In England and the Continent. 'This engine and the other heavy machinery of this company are being sold in large quantities In Germany.

In Australia, in China, and in Mexico. The export trade of the company has Increased 3UU per cent, within the past three years. In this country the company ia now constructing the 12.000-horsepower engines to be used by the Manhattan Elevated Railroad Company and the is.ouhorstpower engines to be placed In the Metropolitan Street Railroad Company's power houses. The company has Just concluded a contract amounting to nearly S.VW.0U0 for engines, duplicates of those supplied to the Manhattan Company, for the Kansas City (Mo.) Tramway system. The engines are the largest ever built for power The specialty of the Fraser Chalmers Company has beer mining machinery.

It supplied about 75 per cent, of the machinery now used for this purpose in- South Africa. At present the company is building seven Cross compound hoists of the Whiting type for the Band mines In South Africa, each one of these being intended to hoist ore from a depth of G.UUU feet. The De Beers Diamond Mines of Klmberly, Cape Town, South Africa whence come It per cent, of the precious stones of the world is equipped with this company's machinery. The company the apparatus for the ruby mines of Burmab and for the first gold-wining operations in the Philippines. Fraser Chalmers have Installed within the past two years thirty Riedler pumping stations of an average capacity of gallons each In Hawaii for the Irrigation of land for sugar culture, the result of which has been an increase of the; sugar output of from five to U-n tons per acre.

At present this concern ie building one of the largest compressor plants ever constructed for the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company of Iake Superior. The machinery will coBt in the neighborhood of The Gates Iron Works until a few years ago devoted its business almost exclusively to the manufacture, of what Is known as the Gstes crusher. Because of the large trade the company had in thla crusher, they found it necessary some years ago to take up the other lines of mining machinery in the same manner as the Allls Company and the Fraser Chalmers Company. The Dickson Manufacturing Company, located in the anthracite district of Pennsylvania, has confined Itself largely to the development of the coal mines, and has also done a Urge amount of business in heavy engines for electric and tramway service generally, and fa now building the large engines required for the new power station of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company.

HOWES DEAD. Was the Father of the American Circus Brought First Elephant to This Country. S(cial to Tht S'tttf Yerk Timet. NEWBURO, N. May 18.

Seth B. Howes died at his home, at Brewster, yest terday, aged elghty-slx years. He waa one of the oldest circus men In the country, and waa really father of the American circus. When but a mere lad. with his older brother, the late Nathan A.

Howes, he crossed the Allegheny Mountains with a menagerie. This was In IStl. They went South, and on arriving at Mobile, they were fortunate enough to get a Hohess and two cubs, which, being the first Infant liona to be exhibited In American, created a sensation. In 1852 he went to Paris, and here became acquainted with Henry Franconl, proprietor of a great hippodrome. He conceived the idea of bringing It to America.

He engaged Franconl and a part of his compsny to go to New York, and while in London engaged a sufficient number of novelties to make tt the largest of Us kind which had ever been shown. The big show opened on the 1st of May, 1833, and was the first Roman hippodrome to be exhibited In America.

YOUNG ELEMENT IN POLO New Material In tha Game Is the Feature of the Season.5 V- Ten Teams Ready to Play Tournament at the Country.

Club Closes This Week. "Ten teams were entered yesterday for the Meadow Brook polo tournament, which will begin on tha Hub field near Hempstead en Alonday, May 27. It Is barely possible that one or two additions may be received and the drawings will not be made before the end of the week. Five teama are entered for the Meadow Brook cups, the chief trophies. are Rocka way.

Lake-wood first, Lakewood Freebooters. and two from. Meadow Brook. For the Hempstead cups, open to teams hot exceeding" an aggregate handicap of 10 goals, the entries are Rocka way Country Club of Westchester, Rockaway, and Great Neck." In view of the fact that Meadow Brook has lost Some of its best playera this season. Including Harry Payne Fox-hall Keene.

and William C. Kustls. wbo are now abroad, the entry of two teama from that club la significant. Meadow. Brook has always been one of the strongest clubs to keep polo alive, and the enthusiasm shown In the game by' Clarence Mackay haa clearly Influenced other young playeTs to keep in active practice.

This growing Interest In the young element Is by no meaas confined to Meadow Brook. It was Illustrated laat week at Westchester by the good playing of Blair, Bro-kaw, ana Burden on the Country Club team: Alexander, Richard Stevens, and IS. A. Stevena en the Somerset team, and the entry for the first time of the Great Neck polo team. The latter men were disappointed in not getting a game, aa Squadron A defaulted at the eleventh hour, but the Great Neck contingent will play in the final round on Thursday for the Country Club Cups.

This is a decidedly novel result for the weakest team to get Into the final round without playing a game, but the draw haa brought Rockaway and Somerset, the previous winners, together on Tuesday, and the victor of that match will try conclusions 1 with Great Neck. The players on the latter team will be the same that will appear in the Meadow Brook events, J. P. Grace, William R. Grace, Morgan Grace, and C.

H. Kobbina. An addition to the young element In the Meadow Brook contests Is the entry of the Rockaway Juniors. Stimulated during the last two years by the junior cups offered by William A. Hazard, the young riders of Cedarhurst have played polo with aa much care and accuracy aa thetr elders, and the good results are beginning to be aeen In the supplying of material for the regular Rockaway team.

Rene La Montagne, who was given a place on the club team laat year amply justified his selection, and this year he appears a fixture. 1 He la not vet eighteen years old, but plays a more dashing game than many an older pololst. Most of the Rockaway lads learned the rudiments of the sport on their bicycles, and contests of bicycle polo have been one of the features on the Cedarhurst field for several seasons, different members ftving cups to encourage the youngsters the play. The Rockaway juniors In the Meadow Brook games will present the following team: Le Grand L. Benedict, G.

G. Mc-Murtry, Montague La Montagne, and Albert Francke or Thomas W. Brooks. The boys have been playing for nearly a month, and if opposed to the new material of the Westchester Country Club for their initial game they will not make a one-sided exhibition by any means. Gould ft.

Hoyt will play on the Country Club'a team at Meadow Brook, taking I. T. Burden's place, but with that exception the team will be similar to the one last week. The Waterbury brdtners were the first in this locality to Introduce California ponies here. They brought four on last, season after Lawrence Waterbury's visit to the polo clubs of the Pacific Coast.

He was strongly impressed with the quickness and staying powers of the California ponies, and after one year's practice here they have fully justified all that was expected lrom them. Laat Summer when Lawrence Waterbury dropped out of polo temporarily he Mld his two California ponies to George Gould, but J. M. Waterbury. still retains.

his, two uses them In every game. I The Squadron A polo club completed arrangements last week for Its polo season. The offer of the field of the. Westchester Country Club, which the troopers were allowed to use laat year, baa been accepted for this yesr, and practice will commence next week immediately after the tournament, which will close there on Saturday. The Squadron's playing days will be Monday.

and Friday. Henry M. Earl has been re-elected Captain of the polo clubi and Robert C. Lawrence will remain as Secretary. A series of squadron tournaments will probably be held later in the year.

Four days of polo this week will complete the events at the Westchester Country Club. Lakewood First and the Lake-wood Frbooters will meet to-morrow in the second competition for the Westchester cups, snd the final match will be played next Saturday. Tuesday and Thursday will be devoted to the completion of the games for the Country Club cups, NARROW VICTORY IN P6L0. Bryn Mawr and Rockaway met yesterday afternoon on the field of the Westchester Country Club. In the Initial contest for the Westchester Cups, the big trophies for which there Is no handicap limit for competing teams.

The wet weather and slippery field gave atrong Indications that the game would.be postponed, but when all the players appeared on deck and eager for the fray, E. C. Potter, as referee, ordered- the line up, and from start to finish a Uvely battle ensued. Bryn Mawr won by heroic work, just squeezing jn victor by three-fourths of a goal, the total being 11 to 1L Bryn Mawr was four goals heavier by handicap allowance than the Rockaway contingent, and when pitted against the steadiness Of Savage. Conover.

and Hazard, It was no easy task to overcome the handicap. Rockaway showed a disposition from the start -to bold her stronger opponents down to the utmost limit, and It waa six minutes before Kendrick was able to score for Bryn Mawr. Two minutes later Haxard. taking the ball cleverly from Savage, carried It nicely down tha field and through the poets for a goal. Kendrick made one more goal before the period ended, but lost one-quarter for a safety.

In the second period Bryn Mawr played a bard riding game, but the weaker team did not go under for a minute, and although eight goats were made, they were evenly divided. The last two points, made by Conover and Haxard. respectively, were beautiful plays, and each of the goals were well assisted by Savage, whose riding off and well-directed strokes were thoroughly up to their customary standard. When the period closed Rockaway was ftut one-quarter of a goal In the lead. The final period waa a hot one.

but Converse saved the day for Bryn Mawr by scoring Haxard showed that Rockaway was by no means dead when he made another of his clever McFadden snd Wheeler made spectacular runa down the field for the final goal, and, passing the ball to Converse, who held his position perfectly, he sent It between the lines from a well directed stroke for the deciding count.

FUaaciu THE IIOSQUITO'S HEW FOE Dr. Vcges's Discovery Inspires Hope in Many SERIOUS VIEW OF DR. SHRADY Naphthalene Known Bsf ore a stroyer Stilt, the Mosquito Haa' Defied Deadlier Agente. Many expressions of gratitude and praise were heard In thla city yesterday hr Pr. Voges, Director the National Board of Health at Buenos Ayres, who, according to a dispatch from Washington, has found an antidote for mosquito poison, namely, The seriousness with the matter was treated-Consul General Ouenther considering the discovery worthy of a letter to the State Department led even those inclined to be facetious to think, had the rules that the distinguished scientist deserved a place in.

the Hall of Vi Dr. George F. Slirady was serious aboa't the matter as he pointed out the mosquito's bite meaning death to some, great annoyance to others, and the presence of the Insect rendering great stretches of land practically valueless. v' But," added he, Tm for killing the mosquito, not so much for finding an antidote for their poison-'' Before he got through he somewhat obscured the merit of Dr. Voyes's discovery because ha shewed that naphthalene, which was known a far back as 1820, has been for years regarded as a destroyer of parasites; that, for example, furriers have long rlnce leamed its value to ward off the danger of mother He admitted, however, that the physician's idea to neutralize mosquito poison with it was his The now almost universally accepted theory that the mosquito, communicates yellow fever, malaria, and cholera.

Dr. Shrady referred to, and offered as proof big volumes by eminent scientists who had considered the subject worthy of extended Investigation. From these books it appears that the odd positions which the mosquito assumes op window pane and wall mean something that they Indicate the anopheles, or communicators of malaria, or the calex variety communicators of yellow fever: The anopheles Is avoided by climbing they do not live feet above the level of the Naphthalene has some rivals for consideration as a remedy tor the poison, according to the great authorities upon the subject. Pennyroyal, for example, has been for years considered an efficient means of driving away 'the Insect. One trouble with it Is that It soon evaporates.

The smoke or smudge of the leaves of the eucalyptus Is another remedy known to soldiers encamped In marshy places. Then tobacco amoks Is mentioned by some, but that, one aufhor adds, has-been proved Inefficient, because the mosquito Is a sport, and seems to enjoy the fumes. Still another authority suggests perambulating about one's bedroom with a cup of turpentine ia hand. Naphthalene is composed of carbon and hydrogen. It Is remarkably cheap It is obtained from coal tar distilled fractionally that Is only In part.

Beyond a certain temperature it ceases -to be naphthalene. E. O. Weiss, chief --chemist of the retail department of Elmer Amend, said that it was generally sold aa an antiseptic. Whether the simple remedy thought of by Dr.

Voges will make life happier for the people of New Jersey, aa well aa New York-era, during the Summer, remains to be seen. At least a new hope has been aroused by the newly found THE TAXATION. CONFERENCE. Many Well-Known Men to Take Part lit Meeting at Buff aTo May BUFFALO, K. May 18.
