John Plat, recognizes the predominant
Interest In naval matters which springs
Immediately from the critical situation
In eastern and western international
politics.
It has, however, far more than a mere
military basis. Naval construction Is
almost unique In the wide range OF en-
cheering and Industrial interests, which
1t assemblies, and Mr.. Plat develops
strlklngly the extremely difficult prob
lens In marine, mechanical, and steam
engineering, which are successfully
solved in the thirty knot destroyer. His
paper Is splendidly Illustrated. a relat-

slstant Engineer Shepard. u. S. n. In
an article on "The Applications OF Elec-

"A paper OF extreme interest, in H.
