C. 8i:t : In obedience to your orders of December 8th, I beg leave to stft> mît, herewith, the statements to me ot Libi t. Commander G. F. F. Wilde, Executive Officer of this vessel, fit reference to the PATENT ELASTIC FELT MATTRESSES and PILLOWS. '■m This statement is made in accordance with the instructions received at the time the soSiï articles were issued to thiö ship for trial, with my approval of the "T^IE FELT MATTRESSES AND PILLOWS wero placed iu the berths of the «hip ou the 20th duy of March loft, aud have, therefore, f undergone a trial of something more than #ght months. " The present condition of the Mattresses and Pillows shows that they retain their orig inal elasticity unimpaired. The surface of the Felt remains even and smooth, without > having formed tlito "lumps" or "knots'' to the slightest extent. In the tropical climat« the Felt was found to be a remarkably cool and comfortable substance to lie upon. It was non-absoi bent of moisture, either from the body or damp atmosphere, and remained t. sweet and pure, and free from the slightest objectionable odor under all conditions of at- ■•m! mosphere. same. " The Mattresses and Pillows were also fouud to be free from vermin of all kinds, at all times. In one room where there was a hair Mattress in use, Ufe Officer occupying it despite all efforts to prevent the annoyance, but the Felt in every instance remained prool against the pests. " As regards the flotation qualities of the "Felt," I would make the following report of the test made by me. A sample or "model" Mattress, one foot long, ten inches wide, aud five Indies thick, weighing one and one half pounds in the aggregate, was used. The ticking at one end was cut away to permit the water to make its way in between the sheets j of the Felt, if possible. A chain shackle, weighing twenty-live pounds, was made fast to the model, which was then placed in the water. At the end of twenty-four consecutive hours, the upper side oi the model was still above the surface of the water ; upon being ^ taken from the water and examined, the model was found to weigh four and one-half pounds gross weight, the greater part of which weigj t being caused by the water which the ticking had absorbed. The water had penetrated the "Felt" only about one-eighth Oh) of an inch. " I would reoo nrnend the troubled with bug vermin, ^ • PATENT ELASTIC FELT MATTRESSES and PILLOWS for the use of Officers of the Navy. My opinion is that the Felt is the most cleanly, com fortable and durable substance for the purposes to which It is put, ever tried in the Navv, and it is a most efficient Life*Preserving material os well. All the officers of the ship using these Mattresses concur with me in this opinion, and I strongly recommend the use of these Mattresses and Pillows by the Bureau.
