LAWS IN VARIOUS STATES FOR TIE TAXATION OF
DoG-owNERs-sUCH A SCHEME IMPRACTICABLE
IN THIS CITY.
TO ne Edffor OF The Tribune.
SIR: portion of the community just now
appear divided the question to the propriey
and moral right OF saughtering dogs. OF those who
think dog-killiDg an unnecessary and unjustihable
cruelty there advocate tax on dogs as
remedy to correct the aDnoyances and dangers which
the animal Is alleged to cause.
There is a law of the State Of NewYork now in force
but not made applicable to this city, which specially
excepted, that all DOGS be taxed certain sum-$2,
think The moneys derived from this source are paid
TO The the several counties and set apart
as a special fund known as the dogtax fund, out OF
which owners OF sheep destroyed by dogs are paid
damages When the DogTax bill came up IN the Legis-
lature it was opposed by several members from this
city, and its passage secured ONLY by making the CITY
OF New-York exempt from the workings OF the law.
MANY OF the Northern States have similar laws Such
law has been found necessary to protect sheep from
being worried and killed by dogs and also to
safe owners Of Sheep far as the dogax fund would
60, where losses from that source had happened.
The imposing and collecting OF this dog tax is often
attended with good deal of hard feeling between the
collector OF taxes and the the alleged owner
Of dog for 1t sometimes happens that an individual
who has never owned dog is taxed for one, and the
collector follows the instruction Of his tax warrant
proceeds levy and dstran Where the tax has been
properly assessed and the OF dog, then In
session OF the animal refuses to pay the tax, the col
lector ia authorized and directed to Kill the dog and
the collector is professional Jack Ketch" the
manner Of his putting the law to fatal execution Is
sometimes both cruel and udicrous. BY the provisions
OF State dog law any person having In his posses
sion any dog specified length OF tne-Ony A. hours
thnk-shall he considered the owner Of such dog and
be liable for the tax.
IL is hardly probable that tax on dogs in this city
could be collected dOg in ten. The difficulties
taxing and collecting the tax all the dogs, any
greatly proportiOnate share OF all the dogs ap
parent 10 any who will give the subject consderae
attention that will not speak OF them. WHAT would
be done with dogs taxeda having been taxed and
the tax not paid and unable To be collected. what then
Would they be suffered live or would they be put
to DEATH r.

by a large bull dog My mother, on examining the
wound discovered that the dog had taken out piece
of flesh perfectly round and nearly as large AS two
cent piece. She immediately bound my thigh tightly
with cord Just aud below the wound to prevent
the circulation of the poisonous matter and Thoroughly
sucked out poisonous matter and applied strong
poutice She then sent for the DOCTOR who SAID tha
she had done thing that could be done, but ad
yised her to continue the remedy which she did, In

IRON VESSELS THAT WILL NOT SINK.

IRON VESSELS THAT WILL NOT SINK.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION OF OUR OCEAN
STANDARDIZATION ADOPTED IN NAVAL YES
Sells AND THE GREAT EAsTERN-THE CELLULAR
OR DOUBLE SKIN SYSTEM.
Iron shipbujlding was made possible by
Cort who in 1884, thereabouts. introduced his dis
coyery tho Of plates and bars of iron
by the OF rolls In the process Of growth OF
science Of construction some errors some misconcep
tons inevitable. When iron was first used IN ship
building the attempt made to follow in the metallic
construction the plan so long adhered to with wooden
ships In them ribs Of wood are set attached to the
keel at bottom and held together ut the top by the
transverse deck beams On this plan the earlier iron
ships were, and now are, to a certain extent, con-
structed. -
MODE OF CONSTRUCTION.
Iron ribs took the place OF the wooden and the
sheathng of planks caulked and covered with "copper"
was replaced by plates Of iron rvited to the ribs As
the experience Of the shipbulders increased and
science furnished with the data Of previous expert
mens the transverse construction, or that which
closely initiated the old wooden ships, found be
less efficient than that known the gtudina sys
tenn This latter consisted in running along the inside
the ship parallel with the keson strong side nelson's,
placed few feet apart and meeting running into
one at the bow stern, the ships lines be-
come fine at either end
The kelson It will be understood almost like the keel
the difference being that is placed inside OF the ship
instead OF outside. 1t directly the keel and
bolted to It, Side nelson's similar, running parallel
with the main keson. To strengthen these
beams, angle iron worked transversely over them
forming system of ribs which added to the strength
while requiring less iron than formerly used In the
transverse system
Looking downward into the bottom OF vessel thus
constructed we should see that it divided into "a
series OF square compartments Over these placed
plates which, parallel TO the skin or outer covering Of
the ship formed second skin ship built inside Of
the other, as II we're Thus by connecting every sxhor
eighth transverse rib with the bottom the whole OF the
ships bottom and sides divided into number Of
small water.tight compartments cells, any one,
almost any number OF which, could be filled with
without endangering the ships ability to float Two
theknesses OF iron had to be pierced before vital dam
age could be done TO the vessel. This II called the
"celluar construction" and ships built In this way are
said 10 have a "double bottom" or " double skin"
GENERAL APPLICABILITY OF THE DOUBLE SKIN.
Though best applied to vessels with the longi'
tudinal system OF framing, the cellular or double
bottom can DO used In ships having trans
verse frames This construction was used Tor
vessels OF war, where great strength and security
required. but by John Scott Russell II was
