In a paper read by Mr. Martell (Chlef Surveyor for Lloyds) at a meeting of the Institute of Naval Architects In 1892, the thirty-three steamers were specifically mentioned and Mr. MARTELE is reported to have said as follows: "I know of no authentic recorded case of a bulkhead so fitted, hasdng given way under maximum pressure; but many cases can be instanced of vessels having had compartments filled reaching port in safety due to the bulkheads withstanding the strain brought upon them.

ADMIRAL MARAROFF'S
INVENTION.
As pointed out by Mr. Wiring at the meeting held yesterday in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, H. E. ADMIRAL MARAROFF is the first who has devoted his time and attention to devising some means by which, in the case of a collision, the ramming vessel (and. In almost every case of collision one of the two vassels

We give another extract from another paper read at the same meeting by Dr. ELDAR, confirming the view taken on the subject by Mr. MARTELL——
"There may not be the same quantity of experimental data available for regulating the strength of ordinary divisional bulkheads, because bulkheads of this class are rarely subjected to the strain of having to retain water in a compartment for a long time. Many persons have feared, as Mr. Martell says, that these bulkheads are, or were, sometimes useless in the event of the vessel being bilged; and it is satisfactory to see the list of thirty-three steamers given by him which have reached port safely, after collision or other accident, with a compartment full water and the bulkheads Intact. There appears no sufficient reason to doubt that the ordinary bulkheads of ships as now flited are strong enough for what is required of
them."
by profession Admiral MAXAROFF is a It is very gratifying to find that although destroyerof human life hehas, nevertheless, given so many of the years of his life, and 40 much care and attention, to devising means for the saving of life.

That war caused France a loss of £695,000,000, whilst Germany secured an actual gain of no less than £174,000,000.
