(From the Illustrated London Neus, Dec. ~
SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF THE
MONTH.

A proposal has been made by Mr.
Henwood to utilise our old wooden ships
of war by cutting them down and cover
ing them with municipalities and the
proposal has been received with appro-
baton in some quarters, as enabling US
to obtain a considerable feet of ironclads
at q moderate expense. Such a patch
work lron-clad fleet, however, would by
no means satisfy the requirements of
modern warfare, and the production of
war vessels that will now be really eff
cient is an undertaking that will task our
best skill aud energies, without the pro-
bIem being embarrassed by such O condi-
ton as that of utiliSing an old fleet in its
achievement. Ships of war, TO be proof
against the assaults of modern ordnance,
must have armour 18/in. thick, backed
by several feet of oak, while the turrets
must he "a in. thick (; and 10 obtain such
scantlings as these the monitor system
must be adopted. The speed of the
men-Of-War now to be constructed should
be sixteen or seventeen knots an hour,
to obtain which speed with a moderate
consumption of fuel steam of a high
pressure, worked very expansively, must
be employed. The speed of our old
wooden fleet does not exceed twelve or
thirteen knots, which is too little for our
present wants and those vessels would
be unable to carry armour Of the thick
ness now deemed indispensable. Under
these circumstances, it is to be hoped
that no money will be spent in the trans
formation of the old feet, which, when
all had been done for its improvement
that was possible, would still be behind
the requirements of the time whereas
what we now want is ships that will be
in advance of those requirements rather
than in arrear of them. 1t is quite indis-
pensable that one or two ships should
now be built, and built promptly, which
shall be far in advance of everything the
world has yet seen in power Of gun, in
thickness of armour, and in speed ; and,
SO soon as such a model has been tested
and has proved to be satisfactory in all
respects, a number Of vessels should be
built according to it. Mediocrity is in
admissible in such a matter when excel
lence is attainable ; and the nation will
not be satisfied with any Navy which in
its efficiency falls short of that standard
which the most advanced intelligence and
most proficient skill of the age can pro-
duce.
A popularity in the mode of printing
postage stamps in France is beginning to
att@act attention as a means of preventing
forgery. The paper is first printed with
a white ink, aud in this prepared surface
the ordinary impression is imposed. If
the attempt be made to transfer the
figure to q lithographic stone the whole
surface will print from the white ink,
transferring equally with the c~olonred.
Recent Investigations into the nature
of the nebul@ have tended to confirm
the accuracy Of the views Of Laplace.
