= Great Increase of the Navy. 9,

/ WASHINGTON, August 81 .-ANotwith-
standing the numerous vessels added to
the navy within the past two years, the
work of construction is still to 60 on.--
The navy Department has just decided to
build another feet ofiron clad vessels. -
They will be longer and more formidable
than any now in the service Of this or any
other country being in fact perfect copies
Of the great Ericsson oceahships Puritan
and Dictator, which are now puilling in
New York. '72' l'' l'i4"2, :
This last new batch of vessels is to be
the most perfect in the entire navy; and
in order to renderthem uuexceptionable in
every way, they are to be built at the navy
yards of New York Boston, Philadelphia,
and Portsmouth, New Hamsphife Z Natal
constructors alone are experimenting
them. Work on the vessels will soon
commence Each will have two turrets
Of enormous thickness, and the side-armor
will be some feet in thickness. There will
be for each vessel two pairs of direct-act-
ing engihes with jet condensers, the cyl
inders Of which are to be vertical, and
placed Immediately over the shafts; the
diameter Of each is to be fifty-fve inches,
and the stroke Of piston three feet AS
there are two of these engines, the speed
of the vessel will be rendered as great as
if the cylinders were much larger. e''
The boilers are to be of the horizontal
tubular kind, with 900 square feet of
CRATE, of not exceeding 81 feet in length,
aud 22,500 feet of heotfng surface The
tubes to be of brass, shells to be inch
thick plates, with 7-16 inch thick buttons
aud furnaces, and braced for a working
pressure of 35 pounds per square inch
The screws to be of composition Of copper
and tin, Is feet in diameter, Of % feet
mean pitch, to have four blades, and to
be 2 feetslong. They will be sustained
from the counter of the vessel by asbraas
hanger, and the shaft will revolve in d
brass pipe connecting the hanger with the
hulla There will be required 8 blowing
engines, with blowers equivalent to Dimp-
fel's No. As, to blow into an air tight fire.
room. Each boiler will be required to
have an auxiliary steam pump. The usu.
al number of duplicate pieces, tools, in
struments, stores, &C., required in such
naval contracts are to be furnished.

for turrets which are to be built as rapid
ly as possible. a9rj' 9d' - sItziI, e15 no a

What is Greek Fire?,

II The Greek fire Of history was probably
y compound Of bitumen, sulphur and pitch.
There, has been considerable, romance in
the accounts Of it. But it was q weapon of
great Importance to the Romans for four
centuries, during which they preserved
the secret Of its composition as . national
possession. It was thrown in balls, or on
A. arrows s aud spears, aud it was poured from
walls Of cities upon the towers and heads
of besiegers. Its most terrible use was on
shipboard, wherelsit was pumped out of

fifteen hundred tons ran in. She was
pierced for six guns in addition to two piv-
