92. THE OLD AND THE NEW.

Whether the old wooden ship is finer in line than the new steel monster is more than I can decide, but I do know that both are well worth drawing.

93. SUBMARINES IN DRY DOCK.

There they lay in long lines--soon to be ready to start on their venturesome voyages.

94. BUILDING DESTROYERS.

How the cranes minister to the ships, carrying them the things they want, lowering them gently into the places where they belong, and then hovering over the vessels they are building to see that everything is in tis proper place--the cranes do it all--the men who run them are mere details.

95. CASTING SHELLS.

Slowly the ladle moves, carried by the crane man, steered by the workmen, goggled and gloved--I had no time to draw those details. Into each mold it dropped just enough molten metal to make a shell head. And when all the molds were filled, a man from another shop dropped in--"Say, what youse up to now?" "Me--I'm makin' shells for the  Kaiser." "What, an' here." "Sure," and as a French inspector passed, "Aint we sending 'em to him as quick as we kin?"

96. BUILDING ENGINES FOR THE ALLIES.

In serried lines they stood--first one for Russia, then one for France, and on the other side several for ourselves--and I said, "Why, this is Ford's ideal," for the parts came in at the sides of the shop and the finished engine went out at the end. "Oh, yes," said the manager, "only we have been doing it twenty years." And now they build a locomotive in four days.

97. MAKING WAR LOCOMOTIVES.
Big and little, they are being turned out for work in Europe and work at home. War work--and I could not forget that I had seen the same sort of work--on the same sorts of locomotives being done

on the Isthmus, only that was for peace, that the locomotives should help to build the Panama Canal, as they did--build the great thing of modern times--a work by which the engineers of this country will be remembered and their memory blessed.

98. THE FLYING LOCOMOTIVE.

Yes, locomotives can soar-can fly-and, like Mahomet's coffin, stand in the air; and they do these things in a blaze of glory, because the shop where they are built is not big enough to shift them about in any other way. As the engine sailed toward me I tried to make a note of it. "Why would you like to draw it," said the manager, as I frantically went on making notes of the approaching monster. "Which end would you like up?" He made a signal (they don't talk in the shops); it stopped and there it hung. "Bring on another," signaled the manager; and so I drew and so the creature posed 'till I had finished-an excellent model in a wonderful studio.

99. GUN PIT, No. 2.

No better proof could be shown on the way each big plant puts big character into its products than this and the previous drawing. Here everything is done deep down under ground; in the other shop it is all above, away up high in the air. And one day, they told me, the president of the company passed with a party, and he saw a man, tired out, sitting with his head in his hands. "Why don't you clean out the pit, boy?" "Well, Sammie, if you want to know why, you go down an' find out for yourself." 

100. THE GUN-TESTING GROUND.

Into the rocky cliff great holes had been bored, and the guns mounted on their carriages by the great gantry were fired, passing through wires mounted on screens to test their velocity. One thing that interested me, standing behind the guns-interested me too much, really-was that there was no smoke, save that which came out of the hole where the shell exploded. And another fact was, that I could not see the shell in its flight, nor can those at whom it is fired-it goes so fast the sound can not keep up with it and sight can not note it.
