The New Navy Rating.

An executive order of Importance and
of considerable historical interest has
Just been issued by the President
changing the classification of the yes
sells of our navy and rating them in
manner more in accord with modern
conditions than has been the custom
heretofore. The system of rating the
shift it was not provided by law and
was an attempt to reconcile the rating
laid down by law with the conditions
of modern naval construction.
For many years a ships rating or
classification depended on the number
of guns carried. Before the war we
had ships of the line" carrying from
81 to 120 guns; frigates, each mount
ing 90 guns; sloops of war, of from 566
to 1925 tons, with from Is to "a guns;
briggs; screw frigates, with a tonnage
of from 5000 to 1850, the Niagara dis
placing most, having Il guns, while the
Minnesota, one of the smallest, car
ried 40 guns; and first and second
sells. Tonnage and guns combined TO
give these vessels their rating
! AT the end of the war there We're
four ratings, with subdivisions in each.
First rates included sailing ships of
| 1000 tons and upward, screw steamers
of 1900 tons and upward; paddle wheel
steamers of 2,400 tons and upward and
ironclad steamers of $500 tons and up
ward. The other ratings were divided
in the same way. A few years later,
| in 1857, the ratings were simplified;
! first rates were all vessels of 2,40O tons
and over second rates were from 1,20C
| to 2,400 tons, third rates from 600 to
| 1900 tons, fourth rates under 900 tons
The scale Of rating was changed from
time to time, but never in way &c
| keep pace with the growth of the
navy; so that in the system just given
up we had such anomalies as the
Alabama of II, 565 tons and the Chicago
of 5000 tons rating the same; the con-
verified cruiser Buffalo, 6,SS8 tons, and
the protected cruiser Boston, 5000 tons
as second rates, While the Dixie OF
6,SSS tons, and the Princeton OF Loo
tons We're carried as third rates.
The new system groups the vessels as
follows: First rate, men-of-war only
of 5000 tons displacement and upward
second rate. men-of-war of more thar
1900 tons and less than 5000 tons, to-
gether with converted auxiliary vessels
of 5000 tons and over, except special
ships, golfers, repair ships, tank
steamers and the like; third rates, men
fof-war from 1000 to 1000 tons, and con
verified and auxiliary vessels of from
1 LOCO to 5000 tons, and Golfers, refri-
gerating ships, supply ships, distilling
ships, tank steamers, repair ships hos
pital ships, and other vessels used for
special purposes, of 1000 tons and over;
fourth rate. all other rated vessels
/ Torpedo-boat destroyers. torpedo boats
! tugs. sailing vessels and receiving ships
are not to be rated.
The new order changes the rating OF
several well known ships of the navy
in each case lowering their position in
the navy list. Thus the Texas, which
/ has been a second class battleship OF
the first rate becomes second rate
battleship; the Columbia and Mime
| apolis, cruisers. and the Olympia

Marion chilcot..

Seattle's sailing fleet has disappeared,
and, instead of four deep-sea sailing
vessels registered at Seattle there are
now none, says the Tacoma Ledger of
Sept. 4. The most important vessel of
the Seattle fleet was the fine, large ship
Marion Chilcott, probably one of the
finest iron ships under the American
flag. The Chilcott has been sold. how
ever, and transferred to san Francisco
which is now her home port. She is
now on her way to Honolulu
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-09-20

battleships launched recently as well
as all of those building, go into the
first rate list as do the armored cruis-
erS under construction, SO that the net
loss of vessels of the first rate is very
small.
As some of the new vessels laid down
have tonnage displacement of nearly
twice the minimum required for vessels
of thc first rate-the Georgia. for ex-
ample, having one of $1,000 tons where
only 5000 are needed-it is possible thai
a further change in classification may
be made in the near future; it is NOT
likely that ships of over 5000 tons will
for so long time as hitherto be rated
as of the same class as those of barely
5000 tons.
The new order puts in formal shape
custom relating to command which
has been followed for some years. An
Admiral or Rear, Admiral may properly
command a fleet; a Rear Admiral may
command squadron, Captain a ship
of the first or second rate, and a vessel
not rated; a Commander, a ship of the
second or third rate or one not rated
a Lieutenant Commander a ship of the
third or fourth rate or one not rated :;
Lieutenant, ship of the fourth rate:
destroyer or a torpedo boat tug
tender or vessel not rated; a junior
Lieutenant a torpedo boat, tug, tender
or unrated ship, and an Ensign tor
pedo boat, tug, or unrated ship These
are merely the commands appropriate
to the respective ranks; so long as no
provision is made for increasing the
number of officers proportionateIy with
the vessels of the navy, it is to be ex-
pected that officers below the rank of
Commander will have higher com
mands than those strictly appropriate
to their RANKIN. Y. Sun.

OF ants IN nests which he has made

sugar through a tube that connects
with the nests. One day he saw that

tube to eat up the honey In the glass
bulb at the end. When he took out the
cork that closed the bulb, the insect
came to look for the food, ana he offer
