And by that forest home-beauteous and

Six daYs to Europe.

The New York Tribune contains the
following notice Of the steamship con-
structing in that city, which it is expected
will make the trip across the Atlantic
ocean in six days:
"The new steamer VIM. Norris, which
is to make the passage to Europe in FIVE
or six days, is rapidly approaching compile
tion. Her outside is nearly finished, and
she will probably be aaoat in fortnight.
This vessel is simply fat and sharp, with
q good model for running fast in smooth
water. She is made unusually strong by
having her timbers strapped diagonally
with bars of iron, and by an iron kelson
extending from the keel to the deck, ex-
cepting in the central part of the vessel
devoted to, the engine. This kelson is
composed IF two parallel sheets of iron,
near half an inch in thickess, less than
foot apart, and so fashioned and connected
as to form water-tank. On either side
of this kelson are bilge kelsons, formed in
the same manner, also connecting with
the deck. 1t isexpected that these unusual
supports will give such an amount of
strength and solidity to the steamer as to
make her excel all other vessels of similar
dimensions. We are bound to speak with
diffidence in the presence of scientific
naval architects; but our conviction is,
that no more strength is gained by this
construction than would be by expending
a fourth part of the money in fatric Of
wooden supports. The Arctic exploring
vessels, and the Newfoundland sealers,
have shown conclusively that wooden
structures are fully adequate to all de-
mands upon their powers OF resistance, and
these are as great as any to which any sea
going craft can be subjected. Indeed,
we doubt if wood and iron in the combina-
tions on board the VIM. Norris prove to
be so efectual for strength as either used
by itself. But the main thing to be tested
in this is, not her ability to resist the wind
and waves of the Atlantic, which she is very
likely to do successfully, but her model.
If she does not prove to be too fat, and
to draw too little water to be good or
safe boat, it will be a new experience in
naval architecture.
