After the lapse OF fifteen years, during

1879 put out the Alaska. whose average
passage was almost Il day less than that
of any of her predecessors. From that
time TO the present the speed Of trans

During the last decade the extension of
complete water-tight subdivision to first
class merchant steamers has become gen.
eral. The compartments formed are much
larger than in naval vessels. and the
double bottom is not usually so extensive
nor so deep as IN the latter, but fol-

probably sufficient The advantages of
eICclent subdivision was recently most
clearly shown in the escape of the Citv

height Of poop and forecastle, increased
holiness OF spars. depth Of hull and gem
eral improvement in symmetry. But
whether sense of the beautiful had any
thing to do with the alteration is I'M
known-probably not much.
The fact is. the fashion in ships has
changed no less completely than the fash
ion In dress. We no longer look upon the
hideon hoop distended skirts OF thirty
years ago with approval, preferring in
stead dresses which more nearly conform
to and set off the natural form. No less
decided is the change from the short,

frontispiece OF his work an engraving
OF the Duke of Wellington, $50 guns one

the service and as representing the es-
sence OF nautical beauty.
In another part of his work Busk gives
q cut OF the United States steamer Nj

commission. He comments upon her de-
sign as follows:
The engraving Of the cele-
brated Niagara will serve TO convey a
very correct idea OF the external appear
ance OF this class of frigate. She has no
beauty TO recommend her. Her

II may be noted here that the picture
Of the Niagara given by Busk was not

but II is interesting to observe what was
the standard of beauty in English nauti-
cal eyes at that time.
