The Maine and Cincinhati were built at he New York navy yard, and the Texas and Raleigh at the Norfolk navy yard, during the years 1888-1592. The time elapsed between laying of the Maine, 1144 days for the Cincinnati, 1121 days for the Texas and 853 days for the | Raleigh. At that time the yards were not at all prepared to uadertake ship- building, and the work and expense >f installing modern machine tools and other labor-saving appliances went on simultaneously with the cosstruction of the ships. The disadvantages were further increased through lack of skilled mechanics. Nevertheless, the time compares favorably with that of battleshins bailt in private yards, the corresponding period in aays being: For the Indiana, 663; Massachusetts, 715; Oregon, 707, and Jowa, 966. These ships ere bnilt in 1890-92 at yards well equipped with modern tools and gangs of =killed workmen. OUR NAVY YARDS PLANTS. Since then the New York, Norfolk and Mare Isiand navy yards have re- ceived yearly additions to their ma- chinery plants, and obsolete tools have been thrown on the scrap-iron pile. Ac- cording to the latest report of the pay- master general, the value of the ma- chinery plants at these three navy yards is: For New York, $2,124,726; for Norfolk, $1,105,772, and for Mare Island, $984,522. There are no private yvards in which the machinery plant foots up to such an amount, and yet they are capable, in most instances, of building several armored ships be- sides undertaking mercantile ship- building and carrying on repairs. More men are profitably employed on a smaller capital invested in plants in private yvards than in navy yards, which goes to indicate that other methods, rather than additional facil- ities, are needed in order to make.the navy yards fit for econonvical, rapid and good work’ » Rear Admiral Henry C. Taylor, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, has pre- sented a tabular statement to Congress showing that there will be a shortage of 797 officers in June, 1907. in W. H. Brownson, superintendent of the Naval Academy, on the other hand, ex- presses the opinion that there will be no deficit, as a sufficient number will graduate during the next three years to supply the requisite junior officers. ‘When naval experts disagree on such a simple propesition it becomes some- what difficult for Congress to legislate to the satisfaction of all concerned. - . . « The British navy building programme formulated last March rormms-u' is now being carried out v.ith some slight modifications, there being some doubt about building the three ed E Two years ago A eyaised sad havoc with some of our largeg floating «steel dock°was located-in Whe oxporting firnis, as well ascour local | Mississippi at Algiers, near Ney Or- steathship companiés.

Thirty-four vessels have been ordered during the past year, of which three battleships, %ramed re- | spectively Britannia, cHibernia and They are of aa improved King Edward VII type, of 16,350 tons and 18.5 knots speed. Four armored criisers of the Duke of Edinburgh class have been named Warrior, Achilles, Natal and Cochrane, the Warrior being built at Pembroke dockyard, the other three by contract. These armored cruisers are of 13,550 tons and twenty-two knots speed. Four scouts of twenty-five knots speed have been contrkcted for and named Attentive, Skirmisher, Fore- | sight and Patrol. Four vessels of this class are approaching completion and the ouilders were given a free hand to produce vessels on ihely own design that would make the required speed of twenty-five kncts. A like pyovision has been made in the four-new scduts, the displacements of which range from 2600 to 2700 tons. Ten submarvine koats are being built by the, Vickers firm at Barrow and contracts for thirteen tor- pedo-boats of 25% knots speed and about 540 tons displacement have been placed with five of the foremost firms whese work in that line has given the best results in previous contract: BRITAIN LIKES SUBMARINES. The British Admiralty has accepted the submarine boat as an element in| warfare, and decided to build twenty- seven more of the crafts, bringing the total up to forty-six, within the next . twelve months. These boats have rap- idly grown in favor in the Brit!yh navy and proved their value since their in- troduction only thre= years ago. Vickers, Sons & Maxim, at Barrows, induced the Admiralty in 1901 to purchase the plans of John Holland, on which eight bhoats were being built for the United States navy, and contracts were given out for a first lot of five soon after, fol- lowed with an order for four more. The boats were ‘completed within nine months and have undergone exhaustive trials, in. which their merits have been demenstrated, and such defects as ex- isted in earlier boats have been reme- died in subsequent construction.’ The programme for 1903-04 provided for ten boats of increased size, and contracts for nine have ‘been given to Barrows and will be ready for launching in March next. The designs for the tenth beat have been held back with a view of further improving the type of fu- ture boats.

G. Sawers. Bishop Nichols delivered a sermon after the confirmation, choosing the ' text, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me do?” and laid stress uvon the vialue of the question throughout one’s life. It is a question, said Bishon Nichols, that frames one’s career and it was the question upon which Paul's whole ! future depended. The Bishop askcd that they make prayer their life habjt: that they take refuge in prayer. They would find that there were times when they will think that peace can only | come with prayer. > i The choir, under the direction of Louis H.
