A New Use for Admirals,

To the lay mind an admiral is of
little service, in times of peace, ex-
cept to put on a fierce frown, a cooked
hat and go on parade in a glory of
gold lace. But a new use for admirals
has been found, in the shining example
Of Rear Admiral George w, Melville.
who, since he returned from the Arctic
with the bones of the Inflated jeanette
expedition, has done something besides
sit astride of a ships log and white
shavings from it..
Mr.. Melville has had turbines on his
mind. And out of the turbulence thus
engendered he has evolved a theory
which Westinghouse is crystallizing
into steel and which promises to revo-
lutionize s%hipbuilding to such a point
that every nation will have to rebuild
it's navy. The problem of the turbine
has been to adjust its great speed to
the economy of the slower propeller.
Mr.. Melville has accomplished this by
means of a reduction gearing that is
simplicity itself, now that he has dis
covered the principle. S~hipbuildine
interests are instantly acclaiming him
as one Of the greatest OF inventors
an epoch-maker, for they see in the ap'
~plication of the Melville invention
means of making ships lighter, more
shapely, speedier and vastly cheaper
AS an example, 1t is claimed that in
the case of the Mauritania it could be
replaced with ALSO tor less weight
and two knots more speed, at a saving
of 1000, 900 in construction. Light
ening the machinery means more cargo
room in merchant ships and oppor'
tunity for heavier armor on men-of'
war.
In the light of his achievement fol
swifter and cheaper vessels, the public
can afford to be good natured regard.
ing Admiral Melville's recent caustiC
~utterances and forgive him for being
one of the first to assail Cooks claims
OF polar discovery. II the promise
pans out, Admiral Melville will have
accomplished something greater thar
both Cook and Peary.
