A hundred years ago Henry Cort’s great in- vention for rolling iron bars and plates had not been devised, and nothing in the shape of iron plates of which ships could be built existed. Even eighty years ago, although several canal boats and some few coasti ig steamers had been constructed of iron, two or three of which had made sea voyages on the way to their destinations, the construc- tion of iron. ships for ocean’ navigation, if though: of and spoken of, had not yet com- menced. But now it is a matter of daily practice for the American and the English- man to step on board a steam palace of steel, and sweep across the vast sea desert that separates their shores at the rate of twenty miles an hour. In eight days you pass from Pall Mall to Broadway. ‘The City of Rome and the Alaska has each steamed over the distance between Sandy Hook and Queens- town in six days and twenty-two hours. As a Means of comparing this ocean speed with what was happening before the days of iron hulls propelled by steam engines, it may be instructive and amusing to refer to a piece of evidence once given to the House of Com- mons. ‘The captain of a sailing troop trans- port stated that he was on one occasion lying wind bound in the’ Downe, with troops for the West Indies, in company. with another vessel similarly employed, and having the same destination. A slant of wind came of which the witness was just able to avail himself, and he got away down channel. After an ordinary outward voyage he ex- changed troops and made an ordinary voy- age home again, many and many a long week elapsing, however, before he again east anchor between the Forelands. | But when he did so he had his old companion for. a companion again, for the slant of wind that sufficed for the one was insufficient for the other, and there she had lain “above her beet bones’’ ever since, It is to tue introduction of iron aud steel in shipbuilding that we owe the vast improvement in ocean speed. Neither the strength to resist the enormous strain of modern engines, equivalent to 10,- 000 horses, aor the length and fineness of form required for the acceptance, so to speak, of high speeds, could have been ob- tained all the time when wood was the sole shipbuilding material. With iron and steel as our material we may be a long way at present from limit to speed and size. And yet the change in size has been very striking. We may give an instance which will illas- trate this, and at the same time illustrate the growth of professional opinion ou these questions. M. Dupuy de Lome, afterward chief naval architectof the French navy un- der Napoleon I{L., made a professional visit to this country in 1842. He went to Bristol, and there inspected the Great Britain, tlen building. [na report which he subsequently made to his Government he referred to that ship as the ‘*most gigantic experiment ever tried in the naval department,” and stated that ‘tthe proportions of the hull depart. al- together from any experiment previously made.’ The Great Britain was 274 feet in length; the City of Rome is 586 feet.—Sir, E.
