THE national board of health has ad.

THE national board of health has ad-
dressed a letter to Secretary Thompson,
asking the advice and cooperation of
the navy department in carrying into
execution the act approved April IS,
1879, providing for the construction of
a refrigerating and disinfecting ship.
The board has duly considered the mer-
its of refrigeration as means Of disin-
fiction of vessels infected with yellow
fever, and has decided that, while it is
not sufficient probable that such artifc-
ial refrigeration as could be obtained in
az infected vessel at southern port
dming the summer would so thorough
ly dlsinfect it as to obviate the necessi-
~ OF taking other precautions, yet it
might be of great assistance, especially
III permitting the discharge of the cargo,
and thorough cleansing of the ship with
out danger to those engaged in the
work. The question as to what partic-
ular kind of ship or refrigerating appa-
ratus is best adapted to attain the OBJ
iects aimed at by the bill is one which,
in the opinion of the board. it is not COM
potent to decide. 1t therefore requests
the secretary of the navy to organize q
special board or commission of naval
experts and engineers, to whom all the
plans and specifications can be referred.
and who shall report as speedily as pos
sible upon the subject. Secretary
Thompson, in pursuance of this request,
has designated the following board of
naval Officers to examine into and re-
port upon the subject: Chief Engineer
David Smith. Passed Assistant Engineer
W. A. III. Allen, and Naval Constructor
W. L. Mintony. The board will assem-
bic Immediately at the headquarters of
the national board of health.
