'The model ship fittings in the group are, like the vessel models, built to scale, and are as near perfect as the resource- fulness and skill of the machinist can make them. The model of the triple-ex- pansion engine is complete in every de- tail, and, though not intended to be oper- | ated by steam, is still workable.

In its honor be it said that. it has earned the reputation 'of being a brass and is a splendid example of the model maker's art. It is hardly necessary to remark that the artisans engaged in the construction of these models are the finest procurable in the separate branches of the business. The land swarms with machinists, car- penters, painters, riggers and the many other representatives of the ship building industry, but there are mechanics and me- chanics. A visit to the H. E.
