New York mail advices say. Pending the announcement of theoutcome of experiments which are understood to be now - in progress at the Submarine Boat Corporation & Newark Meadows Fard, in the practice of welding ships together rather than ritet- ing them, much speculation is. heard in shipbuilding quarters så to the probable outcome of the scheme.

that enough has already been shown in the experimentation to indicate that welding, instead of riveting may play the dominating part in the construction of atsel vessels. In other words, the steel plates of the hall will be welded itstead of riveted together. According to data obtainable up to date, the process, it is claimed, will increase the strength of the joint at least 25 per cent, and decrease the time it takes in getting out a hull nearly 50 per cent. Eminent marine engineers claim that there will be a saving in labour of 60, to 70 per cent. The machine being employed on this work is the one used so successfully last year in re-. habilitating the German interned ships.
