Don't snub a boy because his home
is plain and unpreteDding. Abraham

Don't snub boy because of the ig-

Don't snub q boy because he chooses

Don't snub a boy because of his dull

A MAN OF ABILITY.
Commodore Melville. Engineer in
Chief OF Navy.

4 Washington special dispatch TO
the New York Tribune pays tribute to
| the value OF the work on the Naval
Board done by Commodore Melville.
| The dispatch states that it would be
| impossible to forget that the achieve
| ments of the naval heroes of the pres
| ent war were made feasible by the
| triumphs of engineering exempliffed in
American ships through the progress
| sive character, wide experience and
| high professional ability of Commodore
/ Melville, for nearly twelve years the
| Engineer-in-Chief of the Navy. Dur
| ing that period his Importance in the
| Navy Department and his fearless ac-
| lions ashore have been comparable
| only with those of the chief engineers
! at the Unbelievable in the engine
rooms of the great ships af1oat fur
nishing the energy for their operation
and driving every mechanism upon
which the activity of their effective
power depends. Famous for the daring
spirit and dauntIess courage which
marked his gallantry in the Arctic on
| more than one occasion, with a re
markable record of zeal, bravery and
endurance throughout his active SER
vice aflOat from the outbreak of the
civil War until a few years ago. Com
mOdore Melyille's greatest triumphs
have enduring monuments in the peer
less cruisers, battIe-ships and other
naval vessels which are propelled by
the marvellous engines of his own de-
sign.
For years he has been the foremost
exponent the world over of high speed
in fighting ships, and this solution of
the problems of enormous power with
| the greatest economy have had the ap-
prevail of foreign navies is shown in
the avidity with which the novel fea-
| lures of American naval engineering
have been closely initiated. The splen-
| did triple-screW cruisers of his creation
have furnished the type of engine
| which European navies have seized up
on to the exclusion Of all others in
| battle-shipS now under construction
| its obvious advantages requiring no ar
gument among the armed powers keen
| ly competing for the supremacy of Eu-
rope.
Today Commodore Melville is fight
| ing the battle of faster ships practical
| ly single-handed among the bureau
! cnlefS or the Navy Department, al
though supported by nearly every
| fighting man in the service; the latter,
| however, are so busy just now in the
| Caribbean and at Manila that their
| counsel is not easily available. Mel
| vile has demonstrated the advantage
of every knot gained in action, and the
force of his proposition to make the
new battle-ships two knot faster than
their predecessors stands out strongly
in the light of the permanent Occupa-
ton of the Philippines and Hawaii.
| This difference Of speed would enable
| a gain of more +H~~ ffteen hours from
| San Francisco to Hawaii and of more
! than two days from San Francisco to
| Manila. a difference wnlon in time of
war might prove invaluable.
