dentaily, hidden almost by mass of
other Information. the contract price
OF large number of the torpedo boat
destroyers now being constructed by
private firms for the navy. These ves-
sells are about 200 feet long. of about
230 or $40 tons displacement, and with
engines Of 1000 or $500 indicated horse-
power, attained speed of 27 knots.
Messrs. Yarrow, London, have built
three of this larger type, the price for
each being f37, 400. Messrs. Thornycroft,
London, have also built three at f36, ,430
each; Palmers' Ship Building company.
Jarrow, get k37, 7,107. Messrs Thomson,
Clydebank, who have some experience
of high speed vessels. have done their
work most satisfactorily for f34, ,792:
the Naval Construction company at
Barrow are to get f33,977, and although
their vessels have not yet been tried,
there is every prospect Of successful is-
sue. By way Of comparison 1t may be
interesting to state that the French
paid f30.52s for 27-knot torpedo boat
only 144 feet long, of 1923 tons displace-
ment. and 2.700 indicated horse power.
The costs are not available for any
larger torpedo boats Of the French; but
It Is pretty evident that our craft are
built at a very much less rate. The
torpedo Aventurier, 151 feet long, Of
148 tons displacement, and 1900 indicate
ed horse power, and 23M knots speed,
cost the French f1S.354; our total fleet
of ten first-class torpedo boats. 140 feet
long, and 20 knots. cost us ON an aver
age of .491 each. The same parlia-
mentary book states that the contract
price of the hull and machinery Of tho

by Messrs. Thompson, Clydebank. Tho

some OF them, who would not be seen

by messenger boy or a servant, and
can turn out some things so as to be
better than they were when new. No,

foolish about their clothes. They will
throw away coat or pair of trous-
