Move TO Enlarge the Engineer Corps
Of the Navy.

Move TO Enlarge the Engineer Corps
Of the Navy.
1t is stated that the Navy Depart
ment is seriously considering the
question of recruiting the engineer
corps of war vessels from civil life
and modifying the system of train
ing engineers at the Naval Acade-
my. Those who are urging these
changes seem to be influenced by
the consideration that the extensive
machinery of the new steamships of
the navy requires greater number
of engineers than the old style war;
ships, which partly employed sails,
and it is thought IN consequence
that this branch of the service
ought to be opened to young men in
civil life, who are first class marine
engineers or who have had expert
ence and training in machine shops
and engine-rooms of large establish
ments on land. No doubt there are
plenty of bright and competent
young men in civil employment
who would be glad to get places on
board the new ships of the navy.
Among the graduates OF the man
ual training schools of the large
cities it is also probable that large
number of competent young men
could be found who would be cred
it to the service, and it would seem
to be necessary besides that the
training of officers of ships where
motive power is wholly steam should
be modified to meet present condi-
tions. In this view of the case it
may be asked il it is a desirable
thing to change the system of train
ing engineers at the Academy ex-
cept in way to increase their num-
bers, and their efficiency and to rec
ognize their Importance on ship
board Any move for a retrograde
change would of course, revive with
increased force and interest the old
issues relating to the status of line
and staff officers. But in view of
the actual state Of things on board
the new ships, it cannot be denied
that the requirements make the
corps of engineer officers a far more
important body of men than they
were before the creation of the "new
navy" From first to last officers
and men on the new vessels hove
found many new conditions and new
duties. One of the chief objects of
the extended cruise of the "white
squadron" if not its main object,
was to find out exactly the perma-
nent changes necessary to be made
in regulations for navigation, drill
and discipline to promote the eff
cheney of the service under the new
conditions. Not the least impor.
tant matters in this connection, no
doubt, have been found to relate to
the engineer corps-its status, its
requirements and its relations to
the line. AT least it would seem
that larger body of marine engl-
neers is needed on the modern ships
than on the old, that for the pres
ent recruiting from the ranks Of
civil life suggests itself, and that
training in practical steam engineer
ing and knowledge of machinery
should be extended at the Naval
Academy.-Sna.

CREMATION IN SIAM.
A Country Whore II Is Cheaper to Live
Than to Die.

Country Whore II Is Cheaper to Live
Than to Die.
Siam is the land of cremation. 1t
costs more money TO die there than to
live, and the funerals OF our Congress-
men, which arc paid for at extrayagant
rates by the Government, cost but little
in comparison with that of the Siamese
noble. When King dies in Siam the
whole nation takes part in the funeral,
and million dollars and upward are
sometimes spent in the turning of the
royal embalmed body into ashes. The
last Queen who died at Bangkok was
seated in golden urn for a number OF
months after her death, and the foreign
merchants in Siam brought thousands OF
dollars worth OF goods from Europe and
China for the King to give a3 presents to
those who came to the funeral. A great
temple or palace with roofs covered with
gilt paper was built as her bier, and the
funeral car was overlaid with pure gold
and set with Jewels. This car was six
stories high, and it was surrounded by
tiers of golden umbrellas. All the for
eign diplomats attended the burning,
and there was tiger fight, lion dance,
and tournament among the celebra-
tions. The King lighted the fire at six
| D. M, and he gave presents OF gold and
silver, as well as a dinner, to the most
noted of the monaNhs. 1t took full
week to perform the ceremonies, and at
the close the ashes were taken in royal
| boroa and streWn upon the waters of the
Menam river-Philadelphia Telegraph.

AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION.
4 Step Demanded by Geographical situ'
alton and Commercial Economy.

A Step Demanded by Geographical situ"
alton and Commercial Economy.
The proposition OF Sir Henry Parkcs,
OF New South Wales, for the establish
ment of an Australian federation is an
other evidence of the drift OF sentiment
in that part of the world. In 1885, it
will be remembered, the British Parlia-
ment established Federal Council for
Australasia, in which each colony had
two representatives. This council was
given power TO regulate the fisheries,
enforce the degrees of the colony courts,
and to consider such matters as might
be referred to it by the colony legisla-
lures. New South Wales and New
Zealand refused to join the union.
and, as the former is tho Oldest
and richest colony, the act may
be set down as failure.
What is now demanded is not council,
but federated union, with a genuine
legislative body on the plan of the Do
minion OF Canada. This is Australia's
manifest destiny. Geographical situa-
tion and commercial economy certainly
demand it. At present this group OF
colonies are cutting their own throats
by levying tariff duties against each
others products just as New York and
New Jersey, or Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts did in the time Of the United
Colonies confederation. One of tho
most important outcomes OF the Home-
Rule agitation in England has been tho
tremendous impetus given to the federal
idea. Men who have always made fun
OF federations have latterly taken to
study of what they mean and what
they can accomplish. What is called
colonial federation, union Of all the
British possessions as a means of estab-
fishing closer relations with tho
mother country, is largely the
fruit OF Tory contemplation
OF those questions OF government in
volved in Dublin Parliament Says an
English Unionist who rejects Gladstone
and all his craftsmanship: "The federal
system, which was first introduced in
the United States and has since been
modified in other countries, especially
in Germany, seems TO me one Of the
greatest discoveries ever made, and of
an importan to human happiness
which can not possibly be exaggerated"
He even hints that federation is tho
true solution Of the Balkan peninsula
dispute, and that there are Englishmen
of both parties ready to favor such
political consummation. 1t does not
take an over-sharp eye to sec that tho
colonies of Australia, when they ask for
q federal union, will find few obstacles
placed in the path of their ambition and
true welfare.--Springfeld (Mass.) Re-
nnhlicnn.
