BATTLEsHIP CONSTRUCTION.
New Feature Relating to Position
of Ram-POlnt.

OF Ham-FOlnt.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., November D.
A new feature in battleship construction
was authorized to-day by Secretary Her
bert, in his approval OF a report sub
mitted by the special board of officers.
of which Rear-Admiral John G. Walker
is president, convened to consider plans
for the Kearsarge and the other battle
ship. for which provision was made by
the last Congress.
The matter upon which the Secretary
passed relates to the position Of the ram
on these vessels. Heretofore the Navy
Department. has favored the plan of
placing the point of the ram feet s
inches below the water-line which was
a compromise between the English and
the French ideas, the latter placing the
ram-polnt on the water-line. and the
British having 1t IL feet below. as en-
bodied In the United States battleship
Texas. which was constructed on English
plans.
Recently, with reference to the two new
battleships, Commodore Sicard, command
ant OF the Brooklyn navy-yard, made the
suggestion that the ram-points should
be lowered from the present standard OF 8
feet s inches. The idea met with opposi-
ton in the Board Of Bureau Chiefs.
or Board on Construction. and Secretary
Herbert referred the matter 10 the special
board. The recommendation OF this
board that the point be placed . feet
below the water-lIne was approved by
the Secretary.

You that have gone before me
To the dark unknown.
One by one who have left me
To walk alone;
Friends Of my youth and manhood.
Vanished away,
Like a drift of crimson sunset
At the close Of day!
We held sweet converse together
OF soul with soul;
Probing the life OF nature
From pole to pole;
Spelling again the story
or days OF old;
Dreaming Of all the wonder
The years yet hold.
Half Of my own self were yotA
Half OF my life;
Sharing It's thought and action,
Its peace and strife.
Now. tho I call, none answers;
Vain is my prayer,
Vainly my question falleth
On voiceless air.
Nay. but the years pass swiftly,
And I, too. pass
Out Of the world of sunshine.
Like autumn grass.
On to the world beyond US,
The dark unknown,
To join the friends OF my manhood.
No more alone.
There, where their dreams are ended.
And iife's long quest.
Jesus. o Lord. have mercy,
Grant them Thy rest!

on Race street, about Front, to the
south of the cracker company's place.

the fire boats, which had run hose
from their stations on the Delaware
