even stronger than has been supposed.

On Wednesday afternoon the publicutilities committee. of -the. board of su-pervisors willconsider the traffic prob-lems of lower Market street. At thattime the Bancroft ordinance will re-ceive further consideration from thecommittee, which 'already had shownitself to be unsympathetic to it,and thecommittee will,also consider the ques-tion of granting to the United Rail-roads a temporary permit "revocable atthe will of the board" to operate • thecars over the outer tracks in Marketstreet, the privilege of which theUnited Railroads so much. desires.

One of the- advantages of the newtype of warship is that It facilitatesconcentration of fire on the enemy. Itis believed that better execution can besecured, for instance, by placing 20guns on only two ships than by dis-tributing them among five. Advocatesof the Dreadnought assert also that itpromotes economy. So far as we areaware, no one has questioned thesoundness of these conclusions. Ad-miral Bacon's suggestion that in a cer-tain sense size is a guarantee of im-munity is comparatively novel and de-serves careful consideration; Perhaps

Until it is known that other navalexperts maintain" the same opinion itwill not be carried into general prac-tice, but if Admiral Bacon is right theprincipal objection to the constructionof Dreadnoughts and super-Dread-noughts is pretty well disposed of.

In a paper presented to the Institu-tion of Naval Architects In London theother day a new reason was given forbuilding even larger battleships than

the Dreadnought. Rear Admiral Bacon

holds that a big vessel is less likely

to be sunk by a torpedo boaX than a

small one—

that is, that there is a bet-

ter prospect of keeping the former

afloat than the latter after a blow be-

low the water line, says the New YorkTribune.
