NEW NAVAL PBSS ELS,

Recommendations of the Naval Advt-
sorry Board.
Secretary Chandler has received from
the Naval Advisory Board report and
recommendations regarding the seven
additional vessels which, as reported
Friday, it is proposed should DO con-
structed in the near future, in order to
carry on the work of reeonstru otion CT
the unarmed fleet.
The following is the summary Of the
recommendations OF the board for imme-
late O. instr notion.
Delaware state journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1870-1883, 1883-11-01

In concluding the report the board
deems it necessary to record its emphatic
disapproval of the suggestions that have
OF late been 80 frequently made throup h.
ont the country that tue navy should
acquire n rumber OF ex,r nely high
sp, ed commerce destroying We. sells of
great endurance, designed in this respect
with special reference TO gaining
superiority over the large and swift trans
atlantic mail steamers.
The main reasons for this disapproval
are First, that such vessels would re-
quire to be as large and costly as the
steamers in question, thus making the
cost of single vessel approximate that
OF the whole seven specified above {;
secondly, that such an outlay could only
be justified in case Of urgent need, and
not in the normal state OF the nation,
whi'h is that OF peace thirdly, that, In
case of impending war, the large aud
swift transatlantic steamers would at
once be placed under the protection of a
neutral flag, and the great bulk Of an
enemy's commerce be carried on in
smaller vessels of speed not exceeding
that of such vessels as are contemplated
in the recommendations.

The School Superintendent of Indi-

the public school teachers and declares
that the reason why SO many of them

are first, that the compensation is too

only for one year; third that good teach
ers are compelled to make too frequent
changes; fourth, thst the length of the
school term, except in cities and towns,
is too short to induce teachers to remain
in the profession. The Superintendent
adds that a good teacher is never paid

Bee-keeping is one of the industries
which Americans have neglected be-
cause its profits are comparatively small
and steady. 1t is the risky business by
which a man can Jump into a great
success or great failure that is popular.
There are few large bee-keepers in
the country whose honey is found in all
the home markets and is exported to
England; but the great supply comes
from those who make the business sup
Elemental to farming, and it is this class
of small farmers who should give more
attention to the matter than they have
hitherto done.
In old times every garden in town and
country had its hive, which was usually
allowed to stand uncleaned and unat-
tended until the bees died of cold or
foul air. Bookkeeping requires little
work compared with any other occupa-
ton, but that work must be thoroughly
and faithfully performed at regular
seasons. A lad or active woman can
take care of one hundred colonies, but
they will require hard and constant
work through the three summer months,
and there must be no shirking. The
profits of a single hive of healthy Italian
bees average from fifteen to twenty
dollars in the first year and in the in
crease of another hive. 1t is not too
sanguine reckoning, therefore, to set
down $1,000 in a very good season as
the clear gain from one thousand
colonies, which for the labor of one or
two persons for three months of the
year is at least a fair profit on the out
lay. The large bee-keepers usually
farm out their colonies; that is, place
about twenty in each farm which offers
the proper food for them, pay for the
attention which they require, and at
stated times go about collecting the
honey. The supply of fine honey never
equals the demand in the markets of our
large cities. and since the problem was
solved of shipping the combs from this
part and landing them in Liverpool un-
broken, the supply required for Europe
is simply unlimited. Our white clover
honey is said to command a higher price
in London than the Greek.
Here is one of the many industries by
which farmers daughters in this country
could earn q comfortable support and
remain at home.-M Y. Tribune.
