new YORK navy
YARD HAS PLANS

New York, Jan. 20.-It is proposed
to utilize an unimproved portion or
New York harbor for the new navy
yard when the present site is aban-
doned. According to the government
plans, an immense pier will be built
out into the upper bay, supplied with
docks on either side, The plans con-
template an area of 400 acres with
piers sufficient to accommodate at the
same time forty b%attleships, twenty
torpedo craft and 100 tugs, barges and
submarines. The cost of building the
new navy yard, the filing in, erection
of piers, foundry shops, officers a
tiers, marine barracks, etc, will be
about $26,000,000, and could be COM
pleted by 1915. The central location
of the pier would render it very Access
sible from the harbor, while a consid-
cradle income would come from the
unused docks. The present navy yard
comprises 230 acres, while the land fs
valued at $4,000, 900.
To Europe by Hydro AeropIane.
The success of flights by hydro-aero-
planes in California has encouraged
Glenn H. Curtiss to design a powerful
machine of this type, with the idea
OF crossing the Atlantic. In the tests
made recently, it was shown that such
a machine could rise from the water
and maintain a speed of sixty miles
an hour for long distances, descending
or rising into the air from the sea at
will. The attempt at a cross-AtIantic
FIGHT will nrAho hI,r ~ 49,
Newfoundland and with the Irish coast
as an objective point. The distance,
as the bird, or rather the hydro-aero-
plane flies, is less than 1900 miles. If
the machine maintains this speed, the
Atlantic might be crossed in about
thirty hours. Mr.. Curtiss believes that
a machine a be built large and pow
erful enough to attempt the fight. Mr..
Curtiss is working on a unique craft,
half boat and half ~aeroplane. The
pilot and passengers sit in the boat,
which also contains the engines. The
craft is propelled by two aerial pro-
pellers which will serve to propel the
craft through the water at a high
rate of speed, while the wings may
be folded in to. reduce the resistance.
Cruising in 1900.
A vivid picture of the trials Of
cruising three centuries ago is AFFORD
ed by a recent publication Of an old
journal, which contrasts oddly with
the palatiaI floating hotels of today.
The sea was considered safer than
land for travelling at the time, although
the passenger ran considerable danger
of being captured by pirates or even
sold into slavery. The seamanship of
the old captains was very crude: as
a rule they trusted to luck and laid
their ourse from n point of land to
another. 1t vas common for a ship to
lose her way and, after several days
beating against the wind, end within
a few miles of the starting place.
Aboard the ship the accommodations
were of the crudest. Each passenger
