Concrete Belt Armor.

The use of REINFORCED concrete
lrmor on warships has recently been
suggested. An Italian engineer, Lor
EMO d'Adda, has been led by the sue
cess OF concrete land Notifications.
as revealed in the RussianoJapanese
war, to construct armor plates OF re-
enforced concrete, covered with thin
plates of steel, as protection against
the immediate effects Of the impact of
shells. Concrete armor plates, even
when REINFORCED by stout and close
ly inlaid iron bars, must obviously
be much thicker than hardened steel
armor, but as the specific gravity
of the material is only one-third that
of steel the weight of the armor need
not be increased, while its cost may
be very greatly diminished. The sub
stitution of REINFORCED concrete for
steel armor on a first class battleship
would effect considerable saving.
The practicability of the substitution
will be decided by the result Of ex.
periments, soon to be made, on the
effect OF shots on the REINFORCED
concrete plates.-Scientihc American

Prefer Hotels to Homes.

Hotel life seems to have its at
tractiveness for the wealthy families
OF New York. Because of the short
ness OF the season, many society folk
have not opened their city ZONES
during the winter months. These
families are to be found scattered
through the large, semi-private hotels,
which have multiplied within the last
couple Of years, and which have been
designed with a view to attracting
the millionaire class Of tenants. Ho-
tel life, society women have begun
to find out affords an easy evasion OF
much entertaining. The average
hostess nowadays seeks to avoid ex-
ira bother, and 1t is less of a tax
on her time and patience to hold large
receptions in one of the half-dozen
hotels favored by society or in the
Colonial Club. By keeping her town
house closed this winter a so
ciety woman remarked the other day
that at rough estimate she had saw
ed $4,000 in four months. Besides
this, she has not had to worry over

tiers so vexatious to women who en-
