Nickel steel has received another boom at the
hands OF the government. The Secretary OF
the Navy has just sent an order to the Carnegie
works for q lot Of ten plates, three inches
thick. suitable for tho upper layer of the pro-
tective deck Of the cruiser New York. 1t is
designed to test the question of cost of nickel
steel when used for this porpose, and in case it
Is demonstrated that the plates can be made
economically they will be used not only on the
New York but also on cruiser number IL. The
tea plates'will not of course, be sufficient to
form even small part OF protective deck,
but they will serve to indicate very closely the
approximate cost Of an entire OUTFIT. The de-
partment, in making this order. is satisfied
that the nickel steel has greater tensile strength
ana resisting qualities than tho ordinary mate
rial and therefore better fitted for this purpose
