No MORE ICEPACK FOR MELVILLE
Melville born ffty-seycn years ago, does not

the lives of others TO demonstrate his theory but
he believes It can be verified and he suggested
To- Manson q simple method Personally, com
modorc Melville seeks no further honors. Com
mendod as he was, AZ the close IF the civil War,
for his con inuous gallantry, again FOR his in

Che Jeanette expedition, praised above AL others
for ihc re- uc Of Greedy, and recognized as the
designer u The machinery pf the new navy with
the credit for much that has made American
warshius The best in the world, he IS 90 modest
that only b. the most persistent and insinudting
effort can he be induced to speak Of his achieve
ments or take any part in discussions that may
force him into public controversy again. Eut,
once drawn out. his raIrativ" is Of surprising
interest.
Here is Movlc's idea in his own words:
