pressed upon him memories of ''ths

In the spring, all new vessels that are
building will have to undergo tests to
show how much smoke they do emit
from their tunnels. The amount Of
smoke a war vessel gives out while un-
der way has come to be recognized as
an important factor, for the volume Of
smoke is largely responsible for the dis
tance at which she can be t'picked up
at sea. BY measuring the up pouring
smoke additional facts may be gath
cred as to the efficiency OF the furnaces
and boilers.
The departments present idea is "a
take a series Of snapshots at stated in

quantity Of smoke may be easily deter
