To the inexperienced mind the incu-

requiring special training for it's opera
ton. 1t is n mistake to assume that
they are difficult to manage. Reliable
incubators are made almost automatic
and fool-proof these days. and previous
experience is altogether unnecessary.

that children have gotten excellent re-

uuircd Of the operator is that he shall
follow the directions which accompany
each machine and he punctural in do

No incubator can vitalizc infertile

cubator is sometimes pc licked as to
which is the best machine for his pur-

sidcration. Choose one that will fill
your requirements. but always buy a
larger one in preference to one that
may prove too small. 1t costs very
little more to run slightly larger ma
chine. the initial cost is not great. very
little additional labor is necessary, and
usually the larger the mac chine the
moro accurately it will run.
In regard to price. il is we'll to bear
in mind that the value of the machine
is small compared to the value of the

usually termed thermostats.
whether moisture should or should
not be supplied has never been definite
~ determined; both principles have
their advocates. Some machines are
bullt with pans TO hold moist sand or
water; others have none. Some ma
chimes are built with n solid bottom
the idea being to conserve the moisture
within the eggs; others are built with
slater bottoms. through which there
is II constant circulation of air. All
types are in general use, and all give
good results. Apparently. the problem
OF moisture must be solved by the in
diNidual experience of the operator.
Everything depends upon the design
OF the incubator its location, the sea-
son OF the year, climate and the eS-
ternal atmosphere at the time OF the
hatch.

Norway's Concrete Ships.

NORWAY is racing with America "a
see which country will gain the
honor Of building the first concrete
vessel that will cross the Atlantic
ocean America is far in the van
OF the shipbuildfng world in regard
TO the number Of concrete shfps and
their size that are being construeted
at the present time. But Nick EpuR.

way, states that he hopes to cross
the Atlantic on one of the larger
boats which his company is building
Withtn the next two or three months.
The concrete ship Is fast coming to

OF wood and steel in that county
has made 1t necessary for shipbufld-
ers to turn to the concrete vessel in
order to onset the losses suffered by
the depredatfons of the U-boats, II
they desire to continue both their
coaStwise and Transatlantic trade.
The Stier, I 1,0O0-ton concrete veg
sci recently built by the shipyards
OF the Fougner company. is a pioneer
OF the type Of concrete vessel that
Is now under construction in Norway.
The vessel is AS feet over all,

teen feet nine inch nodded depth 1t is
equipped with an internal combustion
320-horsepower motor and has fou-
water-tight transverse bulkheads OF
concrete. which. with a reasonable
cargo. makes the ship practically un-
sinkable.
At present the Fougner compan,'
has under contract twelve additional
seagoing concrete motor ships, vary
ing in size from 200 to 5000 dead
weight. and they have built and
launched about twenty-five floating
craft of various types, including tugs.
lighters. motor ships and drydocks.
II is expected that the Norwegian
builders will adopt the new protective
coating which when applied to con-
crete makes the life of a concrete
vessel equal in durability to that Of
q steel vessel. This discovery, 30 i'm

crete vessels. has been the result Of
the research work of the engineers Of

I dustriously completing Its plans
to provide nearly 25o.eoo personnel

Lakes and the rivers that fow into

ing and training this large number OF
men the shipping board. by It's failure
to give to the bureau of navigation a
definite schedule of the personnel re-
quirements for the use OF the mer-
chant feet, is causing the Navy De-
partment a great deal Of anxiety. In
q general way the Nays plan is to
give to the officers for the mercantile
fleet a course Of at least three months
training in their preparatory schools
before they can qualify as deck
and engine room officers and to
give to the seamen a course of eight
weeks to prepare them for their du-
ties on board ship. These training
schools, 1t Is evident, will make nee
essary a huge increase in training
station facilities, and 1t may even re-
quire the construction of one or more
new stations to be used exclusively
for the purpose of training this per-
sonnel.
An added reason for the desire OF
the bureau Of navigation to learn the
requirements Of the shipping board
is that 1t may be able to put out the
proposals for all this additional con-
struction to accommodate the new
men in their training period. The
