adding to its speed are materially increased Dy
the necessity for providing space for the mag
azines under protection in the hold, as well as
for the accommodation of the propelling ma
cbnery and coal supplies But the general
principle applies equally we'll to cruisers High
mower machinery is costly. In the Roach
cruisers the proportion was about D IL horse
power per ton of machinery. The Department
is now attempting to raise this standard, ac-
cordng to Secretary Whitney's estimate, from
Sly to 1 0 units of horsepower for every ton
of machinery. This requirement is most ex-
acting one in the present tentative stage OF
naval architecture 1t is not strange that
sbipbuilders are cautious in answering naval
proposals, especially when they are asked to
puarantee the results of experimental design
ing. They take great risks in contracting for
the construction of high-power cruiser, and
they naturally insist upon getting good price
for their worI1-one large enough to cover pos
sible defaults in horsepower and speed
The 3.OOO-ton cruisers authorized by Con-
rress are required by law to exhibit speed OF
10 knots for several hours, and for every
ouarter- knot variation from this Limit the con-
tractor is expected to pay penalty of $780, 600.
A similar system of premiums operates to the
advantage of the contractor if the ship exceeds
the limit; but practical shipbuilders do not
calculate at present upon the chances of ex-
ceeding 8 knots with the weights and lines
of vessel Of war If speed of IS knots
be shown Us the maximum performance, the
contractor will have to pay 100000 for the
deficiency. Naturally the bids go up when
such risks are to be faced. The conditions
are less rigorous for the 2 O0O-ton cruisers, but
still sufficiently arduous to induce caution on
the part of the shipbuilders. 1t may become
necessary for the Government to relax the re-
ouirements so as to diminish the contractors
risks; but obviously it would be mistake to
DO this prematurely. Both the Department
and the builders will have facts on which to
base their calculations when the Charleston.
Baltimore and other high-power cruisers have
been officially tested.
