callus B. Thornton, in ap, mtervlew'
today, gave out the following In
formation In regard to making armor
plate from cotton for the big ships
of ths navy:
"In writing to fiecretary Daniels,
who la an old friend of .mine In re
gard to making eteel armor plate from
the first process at the plant which
I am going to erect on Catawba river,
near this city, I IncWcntelly mentioned
that I had not abandoned my plan
of maiding armor plate from cotton
which . I devised about twenty-flve
years ago. .
"TJie plftn eonalat.i eolely In the
compound conrpresslnir of cotton,' by
a specially devised max Mne of my own
Invention, Into armor plate wliich
would be impenetrable elmply be
cause the elasticity of cotton In its
compound oonvpreseed condition would
cause a projectile to rebound, where
as, as to steel belmg rigid, a pro
jectile can be made pointed enough
to. penetrate.
"Aa to Impenetrability, which Is the
thing dwelred on one hand, It la the
elasticity of the fibrous cotton con
atltutlng the plate that augments Its
service In that respect. Whereaa, for
penetrability, the steel or hardened
pointed projectile can penetrate any
metal or body In the plate line that
Is rWrtd.
"The whole thing, therefore, re
solves Itself to the mere question of
making an armor plate . Chemically
constructed as to be Impenetrable and
on the other to construct a projectile
that ' would penetrate any kind of
chemically hardened metal, As Stated
by me several years ago, this would
open up another market for southern
cotton, and also would be cheap armor
for a battleship; aa a fow thousand
bales would be sufficient tor the
armor of the largest battleship of onr
navvy.
"The double compound cotton com
press Is a specially devised press for
the purpose of oompreselng cotton In
the (roper shape and form andthat
constitutes my Interest in the game.
I have not yet appllm?. for the pat
ent, and lif Benretery Daniels wishes to
try H out, I would be willing to turn
over my plans In detail to him.
When asked If he.-was going to
hews the devise patented, he replied
that it depended altogether whether
or not he found a market for hie

This device was conceived by Ool.
