Th twelve cu rious aperture built into the hull fore nd aft of th center, six on lthr side, are gun porta. They are pro vided with long-range, rapld-flr rifles, which revolve and can deliver a raking Are ahead or astern. A good view ot the toward turret Is given In the picture. Protruding from It can be seen the big 10-Inch rifle, capabl of sending for mile over the billow a proectll weighing 881 pound. Th rear turret Is similar to th other and esrrles two guns of the seats slse. The secondary battery of small rifles, automatlo and semiauto matic, can be seen protruding from the cruiser amidships. Abaft, or be hind, the turret, can b aeeo the bridge and pilot: house, built sroond the forward military mast. Oa this bridge and In th Bring topi sus pended abov It on the roasts th mall-callbr guns are shown, th being used for sharp-shooting, and raking the door of the enemy when in close quarters.

She will draw 18 feet of water when completed and will have cost the - United States government about 17.000.000 800 tons; feed water carried en trial, 88 tons.
