give for that extra inch?
"FORCE" goes a little

High Speed Combined With
Unusual Armor Protection
Are Her Features
San Francisco, Cal., April 28. Not
Blnco the launching of the battleship
Ohio, which- was attended by Presi
dent McKlnley and other distin
guished sohb of the Buckeye state,
has the shipyards of the Union Iron
Works seen such a gala event as to
day, when the magnificent armored
cruiser California was wedded to the
waters. The christening and launch
ing of the levlnthlan of the deep was
accomplished In the presenco of a
crowd of thousands of spectators made
largely of members of the socjety
known as Native Sons of tho Golden
West, who were practically In charge
oi tho days' ceremonies.
On the christening stand were Gov
ernor Pardee and other distinguished
officials of the state of California and
of tho leading dtles of the common
wealth. As the new warship swept
down the ways the assembled multi
tude wildly cheered the new cham
pion. The christening ceremony was
performed by Miss Florence May
Pardee, daughter of the governor. '
Tho interesting ceremony took
place shortly before 11 o'clock. With
tho first movement of tho big hull
Miss Pardee lifted the berlbboncd
champagne bottlo above her head and
sent It with a resounding crash
against the unyielding walls 'of steel,
at tho same time saying in clear
tones heard by all on the speaker's
stand:
"I christen thee California."
As the cruiser took her maiden
plungo In her native element sho
was greeted by a welcoming blast
from a large fleet of war vessels from
Mare Island, excursion steamers, tug
boats- and other craft of many de
scriptions. Tho cruiser California is similar in
type and dimensions to the Pennsyl
vania, recently launched at Cramps,
tho Maryland recently launched at
Newport News,, tho West Virginia
also recently launched, and the South
Dakota and Colorado now building.
When completed the California will
have a total displacement of nearly
14,000 tons. The type of the Cali
fornia derives pre-omlnonco from
two qualities speed and concentra
tion of fire. Her wonderful engines,
driving twin screws, will develop a
horsepowor of 23,000, capable of pro
pelling the ship at a speed of 23
knots an hour perhaps faster. This
speed at onco will take her outside
the reach of pursuing battleships.
while hor powerful battery will make
of her a dangorous antagonist, both
in engagements with vessels of hei
own class and those carrying heavier
ordnance.
