RETIREMENTs IN THE NAVY.
A Decision on the Provision of til.
Personnel Bill.

A decision on the provision in the Naval
Personnel bill for the retirement of forty
officers annually, has just been rendered
by Capt. S. C. Lemly. Judge Advocate
General of the Navy. The opinion is
summed up as follows
There are already fourteen vacancies
above the grade OF commander. Thirteen
only being contemplated by law, no cap
tains will be retired.
above the grade of commander eight
cen vacancies now exist. The law pre-
scribes twenty; therefore two commanders
| will be retired.
above the grade of lieutenant there
| are twenty-five vacancies. The law pre-
scribes twenty nine, therefore seven leu
tenant commanders will be retired.
Above the grade of lieutenant Junior
gradel there are thirty-one vacancies.
adding the voluntary retirements as above
| indicated-that is, two commanders and
seven lieutenant commanders, nine in all
We have a total number of vacancies and
voluntary retirements under the methods
proposed of forty. AS the law prescribes

HEARD In THE HOTEL LOBBIES

T. G. McCulloh, of Chicago, of the Ma
tional Linseed Oil Company, which re-
Gently sold out to the American Linseed
OIL Trust is at the Shoreham. He is wind
ing up the affairs of the old company. Mr..
McCulloh said last night. in discussing the
American company: THE trust now has
control of about so per cent of the linseed
oil business of the country. 1t is only
semi monopoly and has strong competi-
tion all the time from its opponents. 1t
is a curious fact that, although the tarin
on linseed oil is heavy, the price in this
country at present is cents less than
it is in Europe, on account of this compe-
tition, and because of the perfection OF
methods in its manufacture here. The
tariff is now dead letter, bringing in no
revenue, and, at the same time, prevent
ing no outside competition, because there
could be none with American prices. The
formation OF the trust was virtually
necessity ! do not believe that any cne of
the independent manufacturers who went
into it did so willingly or because of
liking for the trust idea in itself There
had grown up under the high tariff much
larger number OF plants than was neces-
sary and these numerous plants, in their
keen competition, had simply ruined the
business as a paying investment. hey
had carried improvements and economies
to their limit, and still could not make
profits. The consolidation of many of them
was a result. Every man who went into
the combination would have preferred to
| remain Independent. But, as | said, there
is still competition enough to keep prices
down" Mr.. McCulloh is of the opinion
that Eaany of the trusts will work their
own destruction by capitalization.
but that the idea of Capitalization will
continue as a business principle. In the
working out of the scheme he states that
| in his own experience he has witnessed the
ruin of numerous independent houses in
various lines of business and cites the
| department stores of Chicago. There are
entire business streets in Chicago, he
said, which were formerly occupied by
small retail houses, which now have half
their buildings for rent, because of the
| big department stores. Chicago is the
home OF the department store, and the
| idea has been developed further than 1t
has in any other city in the country. The
| small retailers are being driven out OF
business, and not slowly either. Property
| on some of the streets is selling for 90
cents on the dollar and even then can find
no purchasers.

A SELF-PROPELLING BOAT.

In the Christmas number of Pear
sons some interesting particulars are
furnished by Herbert c. Fyfe OF craft
that propels itself, and to which the
inventor, Mr.. Linden of the zoologi-
cal station at Naples, has given the
designation of the Autonaut. WITH
out the help of engines, or steam, or
electricity, or man power" this Curl
Gus vessel makes Roadway against
wind and wave at speed, IT seems, of
from three to four miles an hour.
Singularly enough, too, the rougher
the sea the faster she moves-the ex-
PLANTATION being that she is propelled
by the action of the waves. The Sc
cret of her propulsion lies in couple
of pieces of apparatus, not unlike
gridironS, fixed, one at the bow and
the other at the stern, about level
with the keel. These strips of steel
are what the ingenious inventor cans
"feathering fins: and it is stated that
he was led to his discovery by closely
observing the motion of fishes fms,
especially the dolphin's tail. In the
case of the Autonaut these so-called
fins" are moved by the waves in one
direction, and rebound back OF their
own elasticity. Hence, 1t is explained
no engies are required to propel the
strange craft-London Telegraph.
