Among the minor improvements which in recent years have conduced to a higher efficiency in turbines Are the more accurate curvature of the blades to avoid · eddy
losses in the steam, the raising of the peripheral velocities of the blades to nearly the velocity of the steam impinging upon them, and details, of construction to reduce leakages to a minimum. In turbines of 20.000 hp. to 30,000 h.p. 82 per cent. of the available energy in the [steam, is now obtainable as brake horse-power; and with a boiler efficiency of 85 per cent, the thermo- ynamic efficiency from the fuel to the electrical output of the alternator has reached 23 per cent..· ́acd shortly may reach 28 per cent., a result rivaling the efficiency of IL PERSONS with the excaption internal-combustion engines worked A of persons of Chinese race, wishing by producer gas.

while the shaft horsepower of the "Queen Mary"was 78,000, with a speed of 28 knots. During the war the power obtained with geared turbines in the “Courageous" class was 100,000 shaft horse-power, with a speed of 32 knots, the maximum power transmitted through one gear wheel being 25,000 b.p.; and through one pinion 15,500 hp, while in destroyers, speeds up to 39 knots have been obtained. The aggregate horse-power of war and mercantile turbined vessels through- out the world is now about 35,000,000, . These advances in power and speed. have been made possible. mainly by the successive increase in economy and diminution of weight derived from the replacement of reciprocating. engines by turbines direct-coupled to the propellers and, later, by the intro- duction of reduction gearing between: the turbines and the propellers; also by the adoption of water-tube bollers and of oil fuel. With these advances the names of Lord Fisher, Sir William White and Sir Henry Oram will always be associated.
The British Navy has led the world for a century and more. Lord Fisher has recently said that many of the ships are already obsolete and must soon be replaced if supremacy is to be maintained; and there can be no question that to guide the advance and development on the best Eines continuous scientific experiment, though costly at the time, will prove the cheapest in the long run.

SUBMARINE MINES.
In 1914 our mining equipment consisted of a small force of mine. layers and a few deep-sea mines, but no mines for the protection of ports. Russia and Germany, on the contrary," were both fully prepared in the mat. ter of mines, and all their warships, other than. line ships, were fitted to lay mines. France was not well pro- pared with mines. The mine was a weapon of strategic value, but was of too uncertain a nature to be used in a fleet action. It was, however, a' useful tactical help to a small force and was, of course, a valuable anti- submarine weapon. During the war our use of mines' wás, not confined to anti-submarine work, but extended to barassing the enemy in various ways and blocking his ports. In the early days of the war Germani mines were laid by surface craft, but after the first few months they were prac- tically all laid by submarines Engineering
