tions of revenue cutters, have been began by the revenue cutter service at South Baltimore, Lient, Camden, ordnance officer of the service, has experimented with the line throwing possibilities of six-pounder 'rifled cannon, in place of the usual small gun used for this purpose at present. The small gan will throw a line carrying projectile about 600 yarde, and a six pounder would greatly increase this distance. The small gun has several other disadvantages not encountered in the used of six-pounders.
The experiments thus far have convinced Lieut. Camden" that' the change is practical. The only diffioulition so for mot, he thinks, can be overcome by practice, The innovation, officers believe, will be invaluable in life-saving“ work in cases such as marked the destruction of the steamer Volturno.

the guiding principle in the design of a battleship is to obtain the maximum amount of fighting power upon a given displacement. Displacement, that is to say, the
tal weight of the ship and her equipment when she is afloat, is the capital which the architect has to draw upon in getting out the plans for his ship. Thus, in the case let un say of the Nevada, vabip of 27,500 tons displace ment, so much of this displace mant is devoted to the hull, so much to the armament, so much
