THE NAVY AND MARINE CORPS.
Plans for a twin screw armor-plated harbor
defense ram, authorized by the act of March 2,
18S9, have been completed at the Navy Dept.
The design is by Rear Adm. Ammen. The ves
sel is to have no armament and will be obliged
to rely entirely on her ramming in action. The
design contemplates a length over all of 243
feet, an extreme breadth of 43 feet 5 inches, and
a draft of 15 feet. Tho displacement is to bo
2,050 tons, the indicated horse-power 4,800, and
the speed 17 knots. The outside strata of the
deck armor is to be 0 inches in thickness, tho
next strata tapering in thickness from 5J to 2J
inches, and tho remainder of the deck plating is
to be 2J inches thick. The side armor is to bo
in two stratas, the outside ono G Inches and tho
lower 3 inches.

Tho Concord made her last unofficial trial trip
at Chester Wednesday. The ruu of sixty miles

days, when the official trip will be made.
Prof. J. M, Rice, who has been professor of
mathematics at the Naval Academy for many
year6, will be retired at his own request in a
few days. It is understood Ensign Philip R.
Alger will be appointed to succeed him. Ensign
Alger is now on duty in tho ordnance bureau in
this city.
It has been decided to still further increase
the length of the new battle-ships from 12 feet
to 1(1, in order to enlargo tho main battery by 4
more 8-inch guu6, 2 in each turret instead of 4.
The armor of the 8-inch guns is to bo increased
from (3 inches to 10 inches in thickness. The
protection to the 0-inch rapid-fire guns is to bo
increased from 4 luetics to 5, and tho maximum
thickness of the side armor, 18 inches, is to bo
carried down 12 inches below the water lino in
stead of 0 before it begins to gradually taper off
to 10 inches in thickness. The addition of tho
4 b-inch guns will make these vessels tho most
powerfully armored of their class afloat. A
readjustment of tho contract price of these ves
sels has been made necessary by the increase in
their length, and consequently Cramp & Sons
will receive $3,003,333 for each of the vessels
they are to build, instead of lr3,020,000, and tho
Union Iron Works will receive for tho other ono
$3,223,333 Instead of -3,160,000.

Pneumatic Steoring-Genr.
According to the New York Seaboard of tho
10th instant, tho British Admiralty is just be
ginning to "catch on" to some of thn improve
ments that havo already been adopted by tho
United States Navy. The Seaboard says:
"The English Admiralty aro considering tho
advisability of adopting compressed air in place
of steam for the steering engine. This has been
strongly recommended by many of theenglneers
In the service who havo experimented with tho
proposed new inotlvo power with fair success.
Experiments are to be conducted on the iron
clad Marathon, with a view to determine tho
practicability of using compressed air In place
of steam power. Tho steering compartment of
this class of ships is a sort of box iu which, un
der way, tho atmosphere Is so nearly suffocating
that tho man in charge has to be visited every
three or four times an hour to make sure
whether he is alive or dead."
That is only in lino with what, two years ago,
our Navy Department decided to do, and its ilo
clsiou was based upon full investigation by a
board of officers, of which Commander Mc
Calla was president. Naval Constructor Pook,
Commander McCalla, and Assistant Naval
Constructors Hoover and Nixon united In ex
pressing their unqualified approval of the work
ing of the apparatus applied to tho Old Domin
ion Company's steamer Seneca for steering,
and they recommended to the favorable con
sideration of tho Navy Department this form
of steering-gear for ships of war. Subsequently
the Navy Department entered into a contract
with the Pneumatic Guii Canlage Company, of
this city, to Justal its steering-gear on tho
double-turreted mouitor Tenor, and tho work
i6 being rapidly completed. Tho pneumatic
steerlug-gear Is au American invention, and is
patented to the use of tho Piieumatic Guu Car
riage and Power Company, of Washington, D. C.
