ings and other improvements. But there
is a reasonable doubt about the correct
ness of Mr.. Endicott's assertion, which Is
at variance with his official report on the
same subject four years ago. The water
front at Mare Island was dredged under
contract of September. 1897, for a length
Of 11,700 feet at widths varying from $50
to 400 feet to a depth of 2S feet at
mean low water at a cost of SAL

1913 cents per cubic yard. Nothing has
since been done in the way of dredging

Quent contracts to deepen the channel and

TWO FOREIGN TRIBUTES

n nee upon time the American people looked
| upon Great Britain the land where the
arts and the sciences Of manufacturing were
to be studied at their best There was also belief
that Germany was the land where the student
should go TO learn OF pure science and of philosophy
We sent large number OF young men to study in
British workshops and much larger number TO study
in German universities, We have prohted bv the
lessons and now we have surpassed our teachers.
Sir William Preece, president of the British Insti
tute OF Civil Engineers recently paid high tribute
TO American technical schools and the general eou;n
rent here ior all kinds OF practical education He
maintained that no country in the world equals us in
the number the excellence OF such institutions and
that Britain cannot compare with in respect to
that kind of education.
While there is nothing in the statement of the
British authority tc surprise u.s. for have long been

"HERE is a poor outlook for mer-

tions for more armored ships and other

1888 cents and 1874 cents per cubic yard
irsuring depth OF thirty feet at mean
low water. The only obstacle which is
said to trouble commanders Of naval yes
sells Is a new bank off Pinole Point AT
which there is only twenty-one feet at
low water. The cost of removing this
lmpediment to navigation of naval and
mercantile vessels would not exceed $780,
OOt and would not again be incurred for
q number OF years. AS to the annual
cost OF keeping the Mare Island water
front clear of mud, an outlay of $4,000
Tor a dredger and accessories and SO 900
or less annually expended in labor and
fuel would cover the entire expense. which
is quito reduction in Mr.. Endicott's ex-
travagant sum of $4,000 yearly outlay.
The largest battleship in the German
navy, named Braunschweig CBrunswfclO
was launched at Kiel, December 20, from
the Germania. The vessel is Of 1920 tons
displacement. an increase of 400 tons over
the Wittelsback class, and is fitted with
triple screws calculated to give a speed
OF eighteen knots. The water-line belt
Is OF Krupp steel, So inches, tapering to
four inches at ends. and the citadel ar
NOR in two ranges is inches and 51h
inches thick. The armament consists of
four n7lnch, fourteen 6.6-inch guns and
six torpedo tubes, two of which latter
German admiralty mixture, six cylindrical
and eight water-tube Schulz boilers. The
normal coal supply is 100 tons and the
capacity 1900 tons in addition to 200 tons
liquid fuel. Four ships of this type are
under construction.
The dockyards and private yards In
England did not make a good showing
during 1902 in the tonnage Of vessels
launched for the navy. The number was
only fifteen of 81, ,054 tons against thirty
two Of 2CsOOO in 1901. During the thirteen
years between 1890 and 1902 the backwards
built ninety-four vessels of 632 $50 tons
ana private yards turned out POI vessels
of 654,470 tons The difference between
the relative tonnage is slight. but the
average size Of the ships built, namely.
6I30 tons for dockyards and 296O tons for
contract-built vessels, proves that the
dockyards are utilized for the most i'm
pCrtant work
The new rates Of pay for engineer and
marine officers in the British navy goes
into effect on April l, and the engineers

IN pay to engineers amounts to nearly
$4,000. Lord Brassey and Lord Beres-
fcrd have expressed themselves in thor
cugh accord with the scheme of naval
training, an opinion shared in by all the
progressive officers Of the service.

OF German university has declared that in many
important respects the American university is su-
perior to those OF his own country
The declaration comes from Professor~Wetz OF
freiburg He is reported to have said that in point
OF Libraries and laboratories and in the number and
range OF proessorshps the larger universities of this
country afford opportunities for original nvestiga-
ton far exceeding any that can be found in Ger
many Among other things he is quoted as saying
I'VE have Libraries, even numerous and good, but
there is not single where it can with certainty
be reckoned that adequate material exists for the sub
ject in hand The larger German universities, like
Berlin, Munich and Goetingen, have often attempted
to get means for supplying the missing books, but
in vain"
