MACHISERY OF THE NAVY.
Recommendations Made ny the Chief
of the Engineer Bureau.

Engineer In Chief Melville, In his
nual report. issued today, demonstrates
the imperative Necessity OF At Lnos doub
ling the engineer corps, in order to keep
the ships ready for war. He shows that
while the pew ships average but five times
the size of the older ones, their machinery
has multiplied fifteen times. He rec0m-
mends water tube boilers on all ships,
and urges the adoption of liquid fuel on
vessels including topedo boats.
A radical position is that machinery
aud vessels be built in classes, for eff
cheney in rerairs and for increased famil-
iarity by officers ia charge. Duplicate
parts for all ships could tten tie held in
stock, and officers would have To learn
intricacics of but four or five classes OF
ships instead of more than twenty.
