The high speed attained by the three vessels is but one mero stup--although a large one-in the steady advance made in navy engineering within recent years. It follows that a goater demand is nude the personnel in the machining room, but i the extent of the requisŝta higher qualities i alike in cugieering knowledge and re- enceeful courage is not fully apprrcințed. This can best be done by a glance back- ward, which few have time or opportunity to take. In 1893 there was not a single armoured ship liber building with speed excording 19 Inets. Of cruisers ethically
classified as protected or unarmoured ship, there were only four which exceeded knots speed-the Blake und Bleulreim, whose full speed was unreliable because of the danger of procing the boilers, and the Paw, tful and Terrible, then in course of construction, Between 20 and 21. kuuts there were thirty | craisers, and between 10 and 20 knots fifty-two cruisers. It will thus be seah that knots was practically the maximum) spoed in the Navy öfteen years ago Now there are twenty-six armoured ships exceed ing 23 knuts, in addition to sixteen un armoured ships, mostly scouts. Indeed, practically every battleship built this decače has been of over 19 knots; und every cruisar, whether armoured or dependent for protec- tion on horizontal armont, has exceeded 23 knots,* As regards destroyers the same pro-" gress has been made. The boats of fifteen years ago were of 27-knots speed; there are now in the Service many of 33 kurta, and one, with a legend speed of 33 knots, is now running her trials. It is true thing in the case of the vessels of this" class recently ordered there is a reversion to 27-knots speed, but the designs and con. ditions are so different that there is no comparison; indeed, it would be moro accurate to classify the new vessels as torpedo-destroying cruisers. In the British merchant service. we have almost equal progress in respect of speed. In 1893 there were twenty-fire vessels of between 18 and 19 knots, and nineteen vessels exceeded this i rate. Now there are fifty-four russols of between 18 and 19 knots, twenty-seven benreen 1 and 29 knots, and ifty-seven exceeding 20 knots. In the Navy thera
sro 10. Not only do these figures show greater progress in the Nary, but full use is made of the higher speeds.
Fifteen years ago the full speed, even on trial, had only to be maintained by warships for four hours. Now the trial is of eight hours duration. But, what is mere siquitienpt, the warship sijendrans steam now at a greater spoed in ordinary cruising, and are frequently called upon to mako prolonged runs at about full speed. This practice is most command- able, as the advantage to the crionnel, alike in the engine room and on the navigating-bridge, is great, adding enor mously to experianco in navigation and manoeuvring in the one case, and in, con-
tinnous steam conditions and requirements
in the other. The endurance of aval

and there is greator certainty that the bigh speeds aimed at in design will be availible in par. Another point which shows that greater advance has been made in the Navy is the fact thint of merchant ships, exceeding 20 knots only twelve are for long-distance orages-principally for A tant
