The real heart ot the British people

beats its strongest and most triumphant note inthe vaat_au_d ever-increasing naval yprds, where every__week in every year' some war craft dips for the ilrat time ln- _ tothe stormy waters that surround tl_1e‘l tightmtis mana kingdom. 'roms mtl and to the intense devotion of every loyal l Englishman to his navy, its ideals, its marvelous reeurdfits superb fighting ab- ility and its undoubted superiority to any other modern navy must be attribut ed - the creation and maintenance or the world’s greatest navy. This inevitably sketchy outltnegoi the sources. the posit' lon and the ;`aeii_\;ai` eoistruction of Great,” Britain‘s=navy vvilli Q ovv that, in the building, and _erp|isg, and manning - of modern deep-snail hting machines they still maintain sexi: quantity an over- whelming superiority, while in the quali- ty of the machines themselves and the lighting power of themen behind the guns only the cream of other navles can claim

struction For instance, to lifts very heavy gun,an electric crane would be used, to which the power is supplied by slender copper wires from the dynamo- housa, but in lifting the heaviest plates of armour, which are capable of throwing oifa dynamite shell almost the size ofa man, the vvorkman calls upon the hy~ draulic energy. But the compressed vva- ter mechanism is difiloult to carry any long distance and is much more expen- sive in operation. Alter the vessel ia launched there are thousands of little jobs in turning oifand shaving' steel, in boring holes lor the smaller attachments

high up on the vessel, Here the. electric- al machinery somee into play. While in- comparably less powerful than the hy- draulic apparatus, a workman' can carry_ his electric drill, hammer or riveter,climb to any point on the vessel, and only needs 'to drag behind him intact the two slender v`viree that run back to the whirling dy- namos in the electric power-house. Compressed? air is ih_e third motive

power. In putting _YVarshlps_ together this keeps the middle groiinri between the tremendous, but unwisldly hydraulic force and the easily movable, but decid- edly weaker, electric power. The com- pressed air is sent _through rubber tubes iu_ which wire has been woven into the rubber covering. This can do jobs which require an energy between that of the hydraulic and the electric force. More than that, pneumatic power has been found to_be capable of a much more rapid operation even than _the electric. lt is with the compressed air that the mnglority ofthe rivet! are ¢lriven‘~_into the battle- ships, and the “thud, thud, thud" oi’ the pneumatic rivetcr, going at full speed comes in such rapid succession that the ear can hardly distinguish any separate

stroke of the vibrazing hammers.

The pneumatic tools come largely into

playin the ilnlshlng oi! of the steel hull. The electric curreutisespeelally valuable in giving rotary power of enormous strength This enables the wors man to operate huge lathes that cnt through hardened steel as casly as yellow pine, arid form the fittings of every description. The lighter h’ovvs of thc pneumatic tools are, ofcourse, given at a pace quite Impossible to the msn who handles the machine, and at the same time furnish an .eveuess of stroke and a soiter blow than would bo possible for any human arm going at any considerable rate of speed. l
