never apologizes for her Care , nor never

Melville , en/Inepr-In-ehlef / or the navy gives
an Interesting summary of the pl'O/I'l'Sl / during
Ing the past year In steam engiricering / , antI
makes OOllle valuable suggestions / for the Im-
pro\'ement of the naval ser\'lce. lie says that
a eerles of tests Is now being tuado at the
New Pork navy yard on one of the Ialno's
torpedo launche to determlno the value or
liquid I fuel allli It Is believed that much valuable .
able Inrorlllation will be derived therefrom.
Speaking : of water tube boilers . the chief says :
that although great progress has been made
In their development no single type \ has yet
made Its appearance that can he regarded / as
altogether satisfactory , and therefore the hu-
reJII has nut 'Comll\e11lIed their adoption In
time mort Important vessels , believing It
better for the present at least to confine them
to torpedo boats , gunboats / allli the smaller
cruiser :
The engines or the Atlanta are Falll to be
obsolete and It 1t1 recommenletl , that they bo
replaced , hy now types slmlar ! to hose ) or the
'Ial'hloht'.ttl at a cost of \00,000 : \ and , which

glni' . give a greater coal capacity allll ue two

speed to any cruiser or her clan afiolt.ow
hullers will also ue rPlJlllrerl In the lIostoll
after another cruise , III order to thoroughly
demorwtrato the merits of petroleum for fuel
for naval vessels It Is strongly recommended ,
that one of the new gunboats al Newport
News ue lifted for testing It ,
As the lIoston navy yard II noIn possession \ -

that thlll yard UO again made a repair station
There Is no better tllllo tn malte repalrfl to

The Norfolk yard Is also In need of additional -

where II new dry dock has just been opened
It Is IIrg < d that a proper , steam plant be
III1I11C1l1ately providal as the usefulness of
the dock will otherwise be Imlterl. : A suitable
