OCEAN STEAMERs.-WHcH This is the age OF
steam. We eat, drink, travel, and sleep by steam.
All nations are devoting their whole energies to
improvements in steam machinery. We have
steam saw mills, steam candy factories, steam
mangles, steam poughs, steam coaches, and steam
vessels Of all these, the latter are the most inn
portantin the civilization of the world.
Within seven years France, Russia, Spain,
America, and England, have introduced steam into
their navies, and have accomplished wonders in
modern naval warfare that would have astonshed
Archimedes. Look at the captures of San Juan del
Ulloa and ST. Jean dAcre.
There is now rivalry existing among the nations
Of the earth to ourun each other in steam and it is,
therefore, interesting to what have been the
suits, and which is likely to burst its boiler first.
We give table showing what France, America,
and England have achieved thus far, and which of
the three has obtained the most power from this
single but allpowerful, all-murdering element.
