LETTERS,
PUBLIC
PRESIDENT COMMENTS
ON BROWNSON CASE.
HAS CAUSED MANY coNTRo
VERSES AMONG NAVAL OF
FIcERs AND EDITORS.

President Roosevelt's attitude on the
,uastion of the command of hospital
ships in the navy, which resulted in
the resignation of Rear Admiral VIII
lard H. Brownson, and incidentally
some caustic observations on that in
cident and the controversies among
the naval officers and their adherents
&c to details of naval construction and
methods of training were made known
when Secretary Metcalf gave to the
nress the two letters from the presi-
dent addressed to him on the subject
In the first of these letters President
Roosevelt condemns in unmeasurel
terms the act of Admiral Brownson,
declaring 1t to be unseemly and i'm
nroper. The question upon which Adj
miral Brownson took issue with the
navy department, the president de.
clares, is one on which there can be
entirely legitimate difference of opln-
ion. but, he adds, There is no room
for difference of opinion as to the
gross improperly of the admiral's CON
duct in resigning sooner than carry
out the orders of his superior officers
in such a matter. The officers of the
navy must remember it is not merely
childish but in the highest degree rep
rehensible to permit enough personal
pique, wounded vanity, or factiOnal
feeling on behalf of some particular
bureau or organization to render them
disloyal to the interests of the navy
and therefore of the country as a
whole
Regarding the controversies in the
navy the president admits there al
ways were and always will be defects,
both in the construction of the ships
and organization of the department
and in the actual drill OF the feet. 1t
is well, he says, that these defects be
pointed out, but it is also we'll that
they should be pointed out without ex-
aggerations or malicious untruthful-
ness. He scathingly rebukes those
guilty of exploiting them in grossly cx-
aggerated form in the fancied interest
of an inGlvidual or clique Of individu-
ais or for the sake Of supplying SEN
sational material to newspapers. Be,
cause of such misrepresentation and
exaggeratiOn the president has asked
Secretary Metcalf for a statement of
the exact facts connected with it, de
string particularly the opinion of Ad-
miral Converse formerly chief of the
navigation bureau. who, because of his
high professional attainments and
standard of conduct and duty, the
president considers peculiarly fitted to
give judgment.

SIIRINKAGE OF IRON.
Curious Action of the Metal when
Cast in MOId


Cast In Mold.
The action of fluid cast iron in the
mold Is somewhat curious. When

known technically as verp gray, ex-

thus giving sharp impression in the
mold. The expansion, slight but very
noticeable, extends until In the process
Of cooling the iron attains the stage Of
red heat Contraction then takes place,
with the result that the cooled iron is
noticeably smaller than the mold, says
the Philadelphia Record.
In making patterns for iron castings,
therefore, patternmakers commonly al
low about an eighth of an inch per foot
for shrinkage. The shrinkage in cast
ings, however, IS by no means a con-
slant quality, but varies materially
with the proportion existent in the pat
tern and the character OF the metal
used-as much as one-tenth OF an inch
per foot being allowed when casting
beams and only thirty-second of an
Inch with large cylinders.
In casting therefore, thin strips the
shrinkage OF the length is very great,
while In the thickness It Is scarcely APP
preclable. A square plate shrlnks lit.
tie in thickness, but equally In width
and breadth; a fiat disk shrlnks little
in thickness, hut equally n diameter
A thin ring shrinks more in diameter
than q thick one. When It Is known
that iron with different shrlnkage from
that generally employed is to be used in
foundry the patterns are altered to
meet the changed conditions.
Silicon, unless in excessive quanti-
ties, gives gray, soft iron, which has
the minimum shrinkaEc. In many case

pense in patternmaking. Charcoal iron
has usually higher melting point than
that Of less pure Iron made with coke.
1t sets more quickly in the mold and
! contracts more, so that an extra allow
ance for shrinkage must be made in all
patterns employed. 1t will be seen
from the above that patternmaliers re-
| qulre special technical skill as well as
knowledge Of the iron to be used In
casting for their patterns. There are
few employments which require greater
| specialized knowledge of rather a wide
range than that Of patternmaking.
