This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

THE
UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY.
The United States Naral Academy was founded in 1845, by George Bancroft, St^cre-
tary of the Xavy, in the adininialration of President James K. Polk. It was formally
opened October 10, of that year, undw-Ihe name of the Naval School, with Commander
Franklin Buchanan as Superintendent. It was placed at Annapolis, Md., on the land
occupied by Fort Severn, which was given np by the War Department for the pur-
pose. The School at its establishment numbered 56 Midshipmen, of whom 3G, of the
<lato of 1840, were preparing for examination ; 13, of the date of 1841, wore to remain
at their studies until ordered to sea ; and 7, just appointed, were to take the regular
coarse, which was fixed as one year at the School, three years at sea, and a iifth and
final year at the School, before promotion. Later, the course was altered to seven years,
of which the first two and last two were at the School, and the intervening years
at sea.
In October, 1849, a board of officers was appointed to re-organize the School. A new
nyptcm was devised and carried into operation, July 1, 1850. By this, the course of
instmction was made more extensive, and arranged to cover four conaccntivc years ;
the corps of Professors was increased, and a Sloop-of-war, the Preble, was attached to
the School as a practice-ship. The new school was called the Naval Academy, and was
placed under the supervision of the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrog-
raphy. A board of visitors was appointed to examine into the state of the Academy
annually, and to make a report upon its condition to the Secretary of the Navy. The
first class of Acting Midshipmen under the four years' course entered in October,
1-51, and was graduated in June, 1854. The previous course was retained for all who
had entered the service before this time, those of the date of 1850 being graduated in
1856.
In May, 18(31, on the outbreak of the war, the Academy was removed to Newport,
R. I. The three upper classes were detached and ordered to sea, and thoso remaining
were quartered in the Atlantic House, and on board the Frigate Constitution. In Sep-
tember, 18G5, the Aca^lemy was restored to Annapolis, where it has since remaincil.
On the establishment of the Bureau of Navigation, July 5, 1862, the Acadcnjy was
placed under its supervision ; March 1, 1867, it was placed under the direct care and
supervision of the Navy Department, the administrative routine and financial man-
agement being still conducted through the Bureau. This system was followed till
March 11, 1869, when all connection with the Bureau ceased.
The terra of the academic course was changed by law, March 3, 1873, from four to
six years. The change took eftoct with the class which entered in the following sum-
mer.
In 1366, a class of Acting Third Assistant Engineers was ordered to the Academy for
instruction. The course embraced the subjects of steam-engineering, iron-manufac-
tnre, chemistry, and mechanics, and practical exercises with the steam-engine and in
the machine-shop. This class was graduated in Juue, 186"^, together with two Cadet^
Engineers who had entered the Academy in 1867. After an interval of four years, in
October, 1871, a new class of Cadet-Kngineers was admitted. This class followed a
two years* course, somewhat more exteuded than that of the class of IHGS, and was
graduated in 1873. In 1872 and 1873, new classes were admitted, the first of which
left the Academy last summer. By an act of Congress, approved February 24, 1874,
the course of instruction for Cadet-Engineers was made four years, instead of two; and
the new provision was first applied to the class entering the Academy in the year 1874.
4 REGISTER OF THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY.
There are, tborefore, three classes of Cadet-Engiaeers now at the Academy : the First ,
which entered in 1873, and which will be graduated in due course in 1875 ; the Second,
composed of Cadets turned back from the First Class on account of deficiency in schol-
arship, and whose course ends in 1876; and the Fourth Class, Just admitted by competi-
tive examination, which will be graduated under the four years' rule in June, 1B78.

THE MERIT-KOLLS.
EXTRACT FROM CHAPTER VII. OP THE REGULATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES NAVAL
ACADEMY.
At every aonaal examination, tbe Academic Board shall form a general merit-roll
for each class, in the following manner: Of those members of each class who shall
have received a satisfactory final average in any principal branch, tbe individual hav-
ing the highest standing shall receive the maximnm number assigned to such branch
for that class and year in the table of maximnm numbers, and the one having the
lowest satisfactory average shall receive one-third of the maximum number ; members
of the class having intermediate standings shall receive numbers decreasing by equal
differences from the maximum to one-third of the maximum, and members who have
not received a satisfactory final average shall receive numbers decreasing by the same
equal diffierences from one-third of the maximum, tbe class being arranged in order of
merit, as fixed by their relative standing in the branch considered.
Of those who have not been found deficient in conduct, such as have no dements
shall receive the maximum number allowed for that class and year, and the others
■hall have that maximnm diminished by one one-thousandth part of itself for eycxj
demerit recorded against them. All the numbers which shall be thus assigned to the
aeveral members for the several branches of study and for conduct shall then be
added together, and the names of the members shall be arranged in each class accord-
iDK to the aggregates thus obtained, the highest number being placed first on the list,
and the others in their order.
At tbe final academic examination, the Academic Board shall make up the ^graduat-
io/( merit-roll" for this class, by adding the numbers which each member of the class
shall have received on the several *' general merit-rolls" for the four years, and arrang-
ing the order of numbers according to the aggregates, placing the highest first. If any
member has been put back from a higher class, the numbers from the merit-rolls of his
former class shall be used to supply deficiencies.
KCLES ADOPTED BT Tfiffi ACADEMIC BOARD TO BE OBSERVED IN PREPARING THE
MERIT-ROLL&
1. No final average below 2.50 (on a scale of 4) shall be considered satisfactory in
assigning the multiples.
2. Whenever the same class-number shall be assigned to two or more persons in any
branch, each shall receive as his multiple in that branch the mean of all the multiples
which would have been assigned to such persons had they been numbered con-
secutively.
3. Whenever, for any reason, the class-standing of any person shall not be made out
until after the multiples of the remainder of his class have been determined, the mul-
tiple assigned to such person in each branch shall be the mean of the multiples of the
two members of his class between whom his relative standing in that branch places him.
4. Whenever the merit-rolls of a former class are nsed to supply deficiencies in the
graduating merit-roll in the case of any Cadet who has been turned back, he shall
wceiye the aggregrate multiple which was allowed him in his former cltws, unless tho
maximam number allowed to that class in the table of maxima difiers from the maxi-
mam number iw the corresponding year of the class in which he was placed; in which
casehiB aggregate multiple is to be increased or dimiuishetl in the same proportion as
themasimum number of his former class has been increased or diminished.

REGULATIONS
OOVERNIXG
THE ADMISSION OF CANDIDATES INTO THE IJAVAL ACADEMY
AS CADET-MIDSHIPMEN.
I. Tbenamber of Cadet-Mid fihipmen allowed at the Aca«lemy is one for every Member
and Delegate of the House of Representatives ; one for the District of Colombia ; and
ten appointed annually at large.
IL The nomination of candidates for admission from the District of Colombia, and
at large, is made by the President. The nomination of a candidate from any congres-
sional district or Territory is made on the recommendation of the Member or Delegate
from actnal residents of his district or Territory.
m. Each year, as soon after the 5th of March as possible, Members and Delegates
will be notified in writing of vacancies that may exist in their districts. If snch Mem-
bers or Delegates neglect to recommend candidates by the 1st of July in that year, the
Secretary of the Navy is reqnired by law to fill the vacancies existing in districts actn-
allj represented in Congress.
IV. The nomination of candidates is made annually between the 5th of March and
the Ist of July. Candidates who are nominated in time to enable them to reach the
Academy between the 5th and 8th of June will receive permission to present them-
lelyes at that time to the Superintendent of the Naval Academy, for examination as to
tbeir qualifications for admission. Those who are nominated prior to July 1, but not
In time to attend the June examination, will be examined between the 20th and 23d
of September following ; and should any candidate fail to report, or be found physio-
ally or mentally disqualified for admission in June, the Member or Delegate from whose
district he was nominated will be notified to recommend another candidate, who shall
be examined between the 20th and 23d of September following.
v. No candidate will be admitted into the Naval Academy, unless he shall have passed
a satisfactory examination before the Academic Board, and is found, in the opinion of
a medical board, to be composed of the surgeon of the Naval Academy and two other
medical officers designated by the Secretary of the Navy, in all respects physically
Kmnd, well-formed, and of robust constitution, and qualified to endure the arduous
labors of an officer in the Navy.
VI. Candidates for appointment as Cadet-Midshipmen must be between fourteen and
cigbteen years of age when examined for admission. All candidates for admission will
be required to certify on lumar to their precise age, to the Academic Board, previous to
examination, and none will be examined who are over or under the prescribed age.
They must be of good moral character, satisfactory testimonials of which, from persons
of good repute in the neighborhood of their respective residences, must be presented ;
and testimonials from clergymen and instructors in colleges and high schools will have
special weight. They must also pass a satisfactory examination before the Academic
^rd in reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, geography, and English grammar, viz :
ia reading, they must read clearly and intelligibly from any English narrative work, as,
fot example, Bancroft's History of the United States; in writing and spelling, they must
▼nte from dictation, in a legible hand, and spell with correctness, both orally and in
"WT\t\ng-, in arithmetiCj they will be examined in numeration, and the addition, subtrac-
tion, multiplication, and division of whole numbers and vulgar and decimal fractions,
aodin proportion, or the rule of throe, and show a goo<l knowledge of the subject. It
IB desirable that the board should ascertain the aptitude of a candidate in this brafich
of study, which, if good, should count in his favor in case of a slight deficiency in other
48 REGISTER OF THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY.
branches. In geography f candidates will be examined as to the grand divisions, the con-
inents, oceans, and seas, the chief mountains and rivers, and the bonndaries and popu-
lation of the chief nations, their governments, capitals, and chief cities ; in English gram-
mar, they will be examined as to the parts of speech, the rales connected therewith,
and the elementary construction of sentences, and will be required to write such origi-
nal paragraphs as will show that they have a proper knowledge of the subject.
The board will judge whether the proficiency of the candidate in these branches is
sufficient to qualify him to enter upon the studies of the Academy.
VII. Any one of the following conditions will be sufficient to reject a candidate :—
Feeble constitution ; permanently impaired general health ; decided cachexia ; all
chronic diseases, or results of injuries that would permanently impair efficiency, viz., —
1. Infectious disorders.
2. Weak or disordered intellect.
3. Unnatural curvature of spine.
4. Epilepsy, or other convulsions, within five years.
5. Impaired vision, or chronic disease of the organs of vision.
6. Great permanent hardness of hearing, or chronic disease of the ears.
7. Loss or decay of teeth to such an extent as to interfere with digestion and impair
health.
8. Impediment of speech to such an extent as to impair efficiency in the performance
of duty.
9. Decided indications of liability to pulmonary disease.
10. Permanent inefficiency of either of the extremities.
11. Hernia.
12. Incurable sarcocele, hydrocele, fistula, stricture, or hemorrhoids.
13. Large varicose veins of lower limbs. Chronic ulcers.
14. Attention will also be paid to the stature of the candidate ; and no one mani-
festly undersized for his age will be received into the Academy. In case of doubt about
the physical condition of the candidate, any marked deviation from the usual standard
of height will add materially to the consideration for rejection. Five feet will be the
minimum height for the candidate.
15. The board will exercise a proper discretion in the application of the above con-
ditions to each case, rejecting no candidate who is likely to be efficient in the service,
and admitting no one who is likely to prove physically inefficient. No candidate re-
jected by the board will be allowed a re-elamination.
Vin. If both these examinations result favorably, the candidate will receive an ap-
pointment as a midshipman, become an inmate of the Academy, and be allowed his
actual and necessary traveling-expenses from his residence to the Naval Academy, and
be required to sign articles by which he will bind himself to serve in the United States
Navy eight years, (including his term of probation at the Naval Academy,) unless
sooner discharged. K, on the contrary, he shall not pass both of these examinations,
he will receive neither an appointment nor his traveling-expenses ; nor can be by law
have the privilege of another examination for admission to the same class unless recom-
mended by the Academic Board.

The articles marked *, not being required to conform to a standard pattern, may be
brought by the Cadet from his home, but all other articles must conform to the regu-
lations, and are therefore required to be supplied by the Store-keeper.
X. Each cadet-midshipman must, on admission, deposit with the paymaster the sum
of $100, for which he will be credited on the books of that officer, to be expended, by
direction of the Superintendent, for the purchase of text-books and other authorized
articles besides those enumerated in the preceding article.
An the deposits for clothing, and the entrance-deposit of one hundred dollars, must
be made before a candidate can be received into the Academy.
SUMMARY OF EXPENSES.
Deposit for clothing $179 64
Deposit for books, dtc 100 00
p Total deposit required 279 64
f The value of clothing brought from home is to be deducted firom this amount.
^ Each cadet-midshipman, one month after admission, will be credited with the amount
f of his actual expenses in traveling firom his home to the Academy.
XI. A cadet-midshipman found deficient at any examination cannot, by law, be con-
|. tinned at the Academy or in the service, unless upon the recommendation of the Aca-
: demic Board, and it will be useless to apply to the Secretary of the Navy, who will
decline to interfere in the matter.
XII. A cadet-midshipman who voluntarily resigns his appointment within a year o f
the time of his admission to the Academy will be required to refund the amount paid
him for traveling-expenses.
A sound body and healthy constitution, good mental abilities, a natural aptitude for
study and habits of application, persistent effort, an obedient and orderly disposition »
and correct moral principles and deportment, are so necessary to success in pursuing
the course at the Academy, that persons conscious of any deficiency in these respects
are earnestly recommended not to subject themselves or their friends to the mortifica-
tion and disappointment consequent upon failure, by accepting appointments and
attempting to enter a service for which they are not fitted.
GEO. M. ROBESON,
Secretary of the Navy.

The United Statps Kavnl Aciidetny was founded in 1^45. by Hon* Gcorg<
Secretary of the Navy, in tht? administration of President James K» Polk,
mally opened October 10, of that year, under tbe nanje of tbe Naral SchooU with Coiu-
mander P'ranklin Buchanan as Superintendent, It was placed at Annapolb, Md.. «m
the laud occupied l»y Fort Severn, which was given «p by the War I>epartment foe
the purpoae. The course waB fixed at l3ve years, of which ibe 6r?it and last only wf>tw
spent at the School^ the intervening tbr^e bv^ing passed at sea. This »rTHngeii)«*nt «»§
not strictly adhered to, the exigencies of the service making it neceasaryt t
casef, to ftborten tbe period of study. In January, 1846, four monthn after the ^ ;
of the School, the students consift-t-ed of tiC Midshipmen, of the date of 1^40, who Ttpw
preparing for tbe examination for promotion; Hi of tbe date of 1^41, who v:t'Tv f»
remain until dratted for service at sea; and 7 Acting Midi^hipmen, appoints
September of the previous year. The Midshipmen of the date of 1^0 were lh». .--. .
graduate, finishing their limited course in July, lic'46, and they were followed in onlcr
by the subsefimmt dates, until tho re-organi/ation of the Sehoob in Ir^al.
In September, l^A9, a Board was appointi-d to revise the plan and regulation* of j
Kaval Schoob The Hoard was composed of the following otficera:
Commodore William li. Shnhrick,
Commander Franklin Buchanan,
Commander Samuel t\ DnPoot,
Commander George P, Upshufi
Surgeon W. S. W. Ruechenberger,
Professor William Cbanveuet,

The new organization provided for a cours^e of seven years, the tir^t two

tbe middle of Ibe course, thus inakiug tbe four years of study consecutive. The prac-
tu*e-cruit»e8 supplieil tbe place of tbe oniltted sea-service, aud ^ave better opportunities
of trniuiug. Tbe cbaiigo went into operation in Novendier, L-^Gl, together with other
iiuproveiueuts reeoui mended by the Board. Tbe system has continued, witli slight
niodiHcatious, to the present time. Tbe first class to receive tbe benelit of it was that
vbich entered in lf^5l. Six members of this class c<mii)leted tbe course in three years,
and graduated in June, l?*r)4 ; tbe rest of tbe class followed in l^r)5.
lu May, IsCl, on tbe outbreak of tbe war, the Academy was removed to Newport,
R. I. The three upper classes were detached aud ordered to sea, and tbe remaining
Acting Midshipmen were quartered in tbe Atlantic Hounc and on board tbe Frigate
Constitution. In September. l^Sijo, tbe Academy was moved back to Annapolis, where
it bns since remained.
When the Bureau of Navigation was established, July 5. 1j?C*2, the Academy was
placed under its supervision : March 1, lr*67, it was placed under tbe direct care and
Mipervisiouof tbe Navy Department; tbe administrative routine aud tiuancial manage-
ment being still conducted through tbe Bureau. On tbe Utb of March, l"?r»9, all ollicial
connection with tbe Bureau came to an end.
Tbe term of tbe academic course was changed by law, March 3, 1S7:5, from four to
«x years. Tbe change took etfect with the class which entered in tbe following sum-
mer.
Ill 1860, a class of Acting Tbir<l Assistant Engineers was ordered to the Academy for
iu»truction. The course embraced the subjects of steam-engineering, irou-manufact-
nre. chemistry, and mechanics, and practical exercises with tbe steam-engine and in
thi-uiacbine-sbop. This class graduated in June, l^Or?, together with two Cadet-Engi-
^*^T^ who had entered the Academy in l^GT. After an interval of four years, in Octo-
W. l?71, a new class of Cadet-Engineers was admitted. This class followed a two
yj-aiV course, somewhat more extended than that of tbe class of IHjS, au<l graduated
>u 1*T:?. In l!f72 and 1'!'73, new classes were admitted, the first of which left tbe
A<:adeniy in l'?74 and the second in l-ifT."). By an act of Congress approved February
''^<. 1*74. tbe course of instruction for Cadet-Engineers was made four years, instead of
^«": and tbe new provision was Hrst applied to tbe class entering tbe A<'ailemy in the
,V--;ir 1*74.
Tbere are now three classes of Cadet-Eujxineers at tbe Academy: tlu" second, which
entered in 1>74 under tbe new law: and tbe third and fonrtb, admitted in 1*^75 and
3**0, respectively.

Translation from Enr/lkh into French.
Henry the Eighth, king of England, having qnarrellod with Francis the First, king
of France, resolved to send him an ambassador bearing to that prince hanghty and
threatening words. He chose for that pnrpose an English bishop in whom he had
great confidence and whom he thought fitted for carrying out his design. The prelate
having learned the occasion of his embassy, and fearing for his life if he should treat.
Francis the First with the haughtiness which his master required, represented to him
the danger to which he exposed him, and earnestly entreated him not to give him that
commission. ** Fear nothing/' said Henry the Eighth ; " if the king of France should
put yon to death, I would cut off the heads of all the Frenchmen in my kingdom." " I
believe yon, sire," replied the bishop ; " bur. permit me to tell you that of all the heads
jToii wouhl cut otY not one would fit my body so well as my own."

THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMV.
Tho Uultetl Stafea Naval Aco^lemy was fonnded in 1845^ by Hon. Goor^i« Hauotd
Secietiiry of the Navy^ iu tht^ adiiiitiiatnition of President James K. Polk. It wa^i
nially opt^ned October 10, of thrtt yeiir, under tbe iu%me of the Naval School, with Cti
itiander Frunkliu BiichaQiin tin Sivperiut^'ttdeut. It waa placcnl at Xnn^poUn^ Md,, j
the laud nccupied by Fort Severu, which was given up by the War Departmoat |
the purpose. The coiiree wi\8 fixed at five years, of which the 6r»t and last only ^
spent at the School, the intervening thrue being passed at aoa. This arTangem«Dt
not fitrictly adlipred to, the exigencies of the service making it ueceiiMjfity» i" ^^
cases, to shorten the period of study. In Juiuiary, 1646, four months after the ofieal
of the School, the students consiated of 3(> Mtilnhipiuenf of the date of 1^0, who ^
preparing for the examination for promotion; 13 of the date of lf?41, whow«f«i
reuituTi untit druftetl for service at sen; and 7 ActJu|^f Midahipmen, appointed *ia»
September of the previous year. The Midshipmen of the date of 1340 wore th/c fin*
to gradnate, tinishing their limited course in July, 184fi, and they wore followed jj
order by the 9ut>8ef^nerit dates, until the reorganization of the School, in l'J5l.
In September, 1649, a Board was uppoiuted to revise the plan and regular iiui« of 1
Naval Schoal. The Board was composed of the following officers:
Comma<]ore William B, Shubnck,
Commander Franklin Buchanan,
Commander Samuel F. DnPont,
Commander George P. Upshur,
Surgeon W, S, W, Huschenberger,
Professor William Chaavenet,
Captain Henry Brewerton, U. 8. A.
The plan reported by the Board was approved, and went into operation July 1, 18
The new organisation provided for a course of seven years, the first two and laxt 1
at the Sclio(d and the three intermediate years at sea. Tho School waa placed ow
the supervision fjf the Hiirean of Ordnance and Hydrography, and its Qafu#
changed to the United States Naval Academy. The corps of profesaora was (»nUri
the course was extendwl, and the system of separate departments, with ^xecut
heads, was fully adopted. It was provided that a Board of Visitors should make i
annual inspection of the Academy, and rejmrfc opon its condition to the BecrcjL
the Navy. A suitable vessel was attachod to the Academy as a praotioe^lup, AOil |
annual practioe^ornises were begun.
After the system had been in operation a year Bew change wore propowMi, j^iid j
recommendations of tbo Academic Board on the subject were referred to the BoifdJ
Examiners of the year 1851, composed of tbo following officers:
Commodore David Conner,
Captain Samuel L. Breeae, '
Commander C. K. Strihling,
Commander A, Bigelow,
Commander Franklin Bnohanan,
Lieutenant Thomas T- Craven,
The change recommended by the Board of Examiners, and adopted by tlui De
meati, cooaisted mainly la leaving out the requlreoieut of three yeaiv of et'o-terrks i

the middle of the conrse, thas makinji; the foar years of stady consecative. The prac-
tice-cruises supplied the place of the omitted sea-service, and j;ave better opportunities
of training. The change went into operation in November, 1851, together with other
improvements recommended by the Board. The system has continned, with slight
motliiications, to the present time. The first class to receive the benefit of it was that
which entered in 1S5I. Six members of this class completed the conree in three years,
and graduated in June, 1854 ; the rest of the class followed in 1855.
In May, IcJGl, on the outbreak of the war, the Academy was removed to Newport,
S. I. The three upper classes were detached and ordered to sea, and the remaining
Acting Midshipmen were quartered in the Atlantic House and on board 'the Frigates
Constitution aud Santee. In September, 18G5, the Academy was moved back to An-
napolis, where it has since remained.
When the Bureau of Navigation was established, July 5, 1862, the Academy was
placed under its supervision ; March 1, 1867, it was placed under the direct care and
■apervision of the Navy Department; the administrative routine and financial man-
agement being still conducted through the Bureau. On the 11th of March, 1869, all
official connection with the Bureau came to an end .
The term of the academic course was changed by law, March 3, 1873, from four to
aiz years. The change took effect with the class which entered iu the following sum-
In 1866, a class of Acting Third Assistant Engineers was ordered to the Academy for
intttmction. The course embraced the subjects of steam-engineering, iron-man ufact-
nre, chemistry, and mechanics, and |iractical exercises with the steam-engine and in
the uiachine-shop. This class graduated iu June, 1868, together with two Cadet-Engi-
neers who had entered the Academy in 1867. After an interval of four years, in Octo-
ber, 1871, a new class of Cadet-Eiigineers was admitted. This class followed a two
years' conrdo, somewhat more extended than that of the class of 1868, and graduated
in 1873. In 1872 aud 1873, new classes were admitted, the first of which left the
Academy in 1874 and the seciond in 1875. By an act of Congress approved February
W, 1874, the course of instruction for Cadet-Engineers was made four years, instead of
two; and the new provision was first applied to the class entering the Academy in the
year 1874.

Merit-nills, made out yearly for each cIqsb, show the proficiency of the Cadets in each
branch of Ktiidy. The numbers ^iveu in the preceding tabl>^, Hhowinj; tiie relative
^'eight cf the different branches, are used as coefticients; the final mark in each
branch (on a scale of 4) being multiplied by the number assigned to that branch. The
•QDi of the products, after making deductions for conduct, is the final mark of the
Cadet fur the year.
Ill the case of Cadets who take an elective conrse in any branch, the final nmrk in
^bat branch is determined by adding to the final mark received in the re(]uire<l coarse
'^ne-tifth of the a uount by which the final mark in the elective course exceeds 2.50.
In the graduating merit-roll, the final mark for the course is determined by the sum
*^* the four yearly marks.
"Cadets who attain 85 per cent, of the multiple in any year shall be distinguished
**y a star aflixed to their names on the merit-rolls."— (Kegula:ions U. fc>. Naval Acad-
^uiy, $ 1.50.)

I midtllo of the four^cj, thus making tbo fmir years of study conaenutive, Tho prac-
cruu^t>s supplied the place of the omitted sea-service, and gflve bett-er opportunities
' traiuing. Tlie change weut into operation in Kovember, 1851, together with other
apmvcnients reromun.iudt'd by tUiJ Boar<l. The system has continued, \ritb alight
m<Mli(lcation8, to the present time. The first claaa to receive the benefit of it was that
which eut«»red in lr^r>l. Six members of tliis elaas completed tbo coiirae in three years,
and ijradnated in June, 1854 ; the rest of the clrisn followed iu 1855.
In May, 1801, on the outbreak of the war, the Aeaderay was removed to Newportt
R, I. The three upper claasea were detached and ordered to sea, and the remaining
Actin^^ MkUhipmen were quartered in the Atlantic Houi%c and on board the frigates
Constitution and 8antee. In September, 1805, the Academy was moved back to An-
napolis, where it baa since remained.
When the Bureau of Navij^ation was established, July 5, 1862, the Academy was
pliKod tinder its supervinion; March 1, 1867, it was plac^^d under the direct care and
supervision of the Navy Department, the admiuiatrativo routine and financial man-
»gem<*nt iM^ing still conducted through the Bureau. On the llth of March, 1869, all
aifieial connection with the Bun^au came to an end.
The term of the academic course was changed by law, March 3, 1973, from four to
six years. The change took effect with the elasw which entered in the following aiim-
nicr.
In 1835, a dans of Acting Third Assistant Enguieers was ordered to the Academy for
instruction. The course embraced the subjects of steam-engineering, iron-manufact-
ure, chemUitry, and mechanicH, and practical exercises with the steam-engine and in
tbe machine-shop. This class graduated in June, 18*>8^ together with two Cadet-Engi-
neern who had entered the Academy in 1867* After an interval of four years, in Octo-
ber, 1j?71, a new class of Cadet-Engincors were admitted. This class followed a two
ye^ars* course, somewhat more extruded than that of the class of 18&8, and graduated
in 1873. In 1872 and 1873, new elasst^s w<*re udmitted, the first of winch left the
Academy in 1874 and the second in 1875. By an act of Congress approved February
2Af 1874, the course of itistrnctiou for Cadet-E*igineers was made four years instead of
two; and the new provision wa** first applied to the clais enteriug the Academy in the
year 1874.

REGULATIONS
FOR THE
APPOINTMENT OF CADET-ENGINEERS IN THE UNITED STATES
NAVY.
I. In poTsnanoe of law, applications will be received by the Navy Department for
tbe appointment of Cadet-Engineers.
II. The application is to be addressed to the Secretary of the Navy, and can be made
Jkj the candidate or by any person for him, and his name will be placed on the regis-
"ier. The registry of a name, however, gives no assurance of an appointment, and no
preference will be given in the selection to priority of application.
in. The number of appointments which can be made is limited by law to twenty-
flve each year. The candidate must not be less than sixteen nor more than twenty
years of age ; he will be required to certify on honor to his precise age, to the Academic
Beard, previous to his examination, and no one will be examined who is over or under
tbe prescribed age. His application must be accompanied by satisfactory evidence of
good moral character and health, with information regarding date of birth and educa-
tional advantages hitherto enjoyed. Candidates who receive permission will present
themselves to the Superintendent of the Naval Academy on the 15th of September for
examination as to their qualifications for admission.
IV. The course of study will comprise four years at the Naval Academy, and two
additional years at sea. All Cadets who finally graduate will be commissioned Assist-
ant Engineers in the Navy as vacancies oocur. The pay of a Cadet-Engineer while at
tlie Naval Academy is $500 per annum.
V. The academic examination previous to appointment will be competitive, and will
be on the following subjects, namely : Arithmetic ; algebra, through equations of the
flnt degree ; plane geometry ; rudimentary natural philosophy ; reading ; writing ;
' apelling; English grammar; English composition; geography; free-hand drawing ;
and an elementary knowledge of the principles governing the action of the steam-en-
gine. Candidates who possess the greatest skill and experience in the practical knowl-
edge of machinery, other qualifications being equal j shall have precedence for admission.
YI. The examination before the Medical Board is the same as that of candidates for
appointment as Cadet-Midshipmen. See p. 49.
The following deposits must be made before a candidate can be received into the
Aeademy :
For clothing (see p. 52) $162 47
For books and drawing instiuments 50 00
Total 212 47
YII. Persons who contemplate presenting themselves as candidates for admission as
Cadet-Engineers are cautioned that the number of applicants is large, and the compe-
tition exceedingly close. It is, therefore, useless for candidates to present themselves
nnlees well prepared on the subjects of the examination, and unless their physical
qaalifioations are within the prescribed standard.

THE
UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY.
. The United States Naval Academy was foanded in 1845, by Hon. George Baia
'Secretary of the Navy, in the administration of President Jamee K. Polk. It wat :
mally opened October 10, of that year, under the name of the Naval School, withO
mander Franklin Buchanan as Superintendent. It was placed at Annapolis, lid.,
the land occupied by Fort Severn, which was given up by the War DepaitoMt
the purpose. The course was fixed at five years, of which the first and lait oaly v
spent at the School, the intervening three being passed at sea This arrangonfliiti
not strictly adhered to, the exigencies of the service making it neceasaiy, in M
oases, to shorten the period of study. In January, 1846, four months after tliea|M«i
of the School, the students consisted of 36 Midshipmen, of the date of 184(1^ wko m
preparing for the examination for promotion; 13 of the date of 1841, who wtnU»
main until drafted for service at sea; and 7 Acting Midshipmen, appointed rineeAp
tember of the previous year. The Midshipmen of the date of 1840 were the fin^ Mb
graduated, finishing their limited course in July, 1846, and they were followsdinffk
by the subsequent dates until the reorganization of the School, in 1851.
In September, 1849, a Board was appointed to revise the plan and regabUioaf ifii
Naval School. The Board was composed of the following officers:
Commodore William B. Shubrick,
Commander Franklin Buchanan,
Commander Samuel F. Dupont,
Commander George P. Upshur,
Surgeon W. S. W. Rnschenberger,
Professof William Chauveuet,
Captain Henry Brewerton, U. S. A.
The plan reported by the Board was approved, and went into operation Julyl.l5^
The new organization provided for a course of seven years, the first twoaudlutt*
at the School and the three intermediate years at sea. The School was pUceAi
the supervision of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography, and its nim*
changed to the United States Xaval Academy. The corps of professors was enlirf4
the course was extended, and the system of separate departments, with ex«*tt*
heads, was fully adopted. It was proviiled that a Board of Visitors should mak*<^
annual inspection of the Academy, and report upon its condition to the Secrelirf •
the Xavy. A suitable vessel was attached to the Academy as a practice>ship, tnd tk
annual practice-cruises were begnn.
After the system had been in operation a year new changes were proposed, vaA^
recommendations of the Academic Board on the subject were referred to the Boird*
Examiners of the year 1851. composed of the following officers:
Commodore David Conner,
Captain Samuel L. Breese,
Commander C. K. Stribling,
Commander A. Bigelow,
Commander Franklin Buchanan,
Lieutenant Thomas T. Craven.
The change recommended by the Board of Examiners, and adopted by the Dt^
meat, consisted mainly "wi Yea^N *\\\^ oMt. tha ref^uiremeut of three years of sea-serTict i

middle of the course, thus making the fonr years of study oonseoutlve. The pr»o-
i-cruise supplied the place of the omitted sea-service, and gave hotter opportani-
of training. The change went into operation in November, 1851, together with
er improvements recommended by the Board. The system has continued, with
bt modifications, to the present time. The first class to receive the benefit of it
I tbat which entered in 1851. Six members of this class completed the course in
Be years, and were graduated in Jnne, 1854 ; the rest of the class followed in 1855.
Q May, 1861, on the outbreak of the war, the Academy was removed to Newport,
E. The three upper classes were detached and ordered to sea, and the remaining
ing Midshipmen were quartered in the Atlantic House and on board the frigates
ftAtitation and Santee. In September, 1865, the Academy was moved back to An-
•«>lis, where it has since remained.'
^hen the Bureau of Navigation was established, July 5, 1862, the Academy waa
»ed under its supervision ; March 1, 1867, it was placed nnder the direct care and
earyiBion of the Navy Department, the administrative routine and financial man-
onent being still conducted thn>ugh the Bureau. On the 11th of March, 1869, all
Ȥm1 oonnection with the Bureau came to an end.
Kie term of the academic course was changed by law, March 3, 1873, from, four to
The'-change took effect with the class which entered in the following sam-
M 1866, a class of Acting Third Assistant Engineers was ordered to the Academy
tnstmction. The course embraced the subjects of steam-engineering, iron-mann-
b^are, chemistry, and mechanics, and practical exercises with the steam-engine and
•lie machine-shop. This class was graduated in Jnne, 1868, together with two Ca-
-Engineers who had entered the Academy in 1867. After an interval of fonr years,
October, 1871, a new class of Cadet-Engineers was admitted.* This class followed
■To years' course, somewhat more extended than that of the class of 1868, and was
Uinated in 1873. In 1872 and 1873, new classes were admitted, the first of which
t the Academy in 1874 and the second in 1875. By an act of Congress approved
broary 24, 1874, the course of instruction for Cadet-Engineers was made four years
liead of two ; and the new provision was first applied to the class entering the
^udemy in the year 1874. This class was graduated in June, 1878.

MERIT-ROLLS FOR 1879-80.
Merit-rollHj tnade out annually for each class, show the proficiency of the cadets in each brands
of study. The numbers given in the preceding table, showing the relative weight of the different
hranchesy are used as coefficients;- the final mark in each -branch (on a scale of A) being muUi-
pUed by the number assigned to that branch. The sum of the products, after making deduc^
Honsfor conduct, is the final mark of the cadet for the year.
In the case of cadets who take an elective course in any brancJt, the final mark in that branch
i8 determined by adding to the final mark received in the required course one-fifth of the
amount by which the final mark in the elective course exceeds 2.50.
in the graduating merit-roll, the final mark for the course is determined by the sum of the
four yearly marks.
"Ckulels who attain 8b per cent, of the multiple in any year shall be distinguished by a star
affUed to their names on the merit-rolls.^^ — (Regulations U. S. Naval Academy, $ 150 J
Cktdets whose names are marked thus (\) were found deficient, but were allowed to continue
in their classes on condition of passing at a re-examination.
Those marked thus (t) were found deficient, arid turned back, to recommence the studies of
their respective classes.
Those marked thus (^) were found deficient, and recommended to be dropped.
(a) denotes absence from examination.

r Delegates neglect to recommend candidates by the 1st of July in that year, the
tary of the Navy is required by law to fill the vacancies existing in districts act-
represented in Congress. They will be filled by appointments from the districts
ich the vacancies exist.
The nomination of candidates is made annually between the 5th of March and
tt of July. Candidates who are nominated in time to enable them to reach the

d of September following. When any of the dates assigned for examinations
Sunday, the examination will take place on the following Monday.
L sound body and healthy constitution, good mental abilities, a natural aptitude
^y and habits of application, persistent efibrt, an obedient and orderly disposi-
nd correct moral principles and deportment, are so necessary to success in pur-
the course at the Academy, that persons conscious of any deficiency in these
fcs are earnestly recommended not to subject themselves or their friends to the
tcation and disappointment consequent upon failure, by accepting nominations
tempting to enter a service for which they are not fitted,
lents from the Empire of Japan are received for instruction under a resolution

tw^een work in the physical laboratory an<l work in the chemical laboratory.
The work in the physical laboratory during the year 1880 consistiul in the calibra-
-tion of two thermometers, and in the preparation of tables for the correction of the read-
ings of these and several others; determination of the ratio of the arms of a chemical
'balance ; determination of coefficient of torsion ; determination of specific gravities ;
determination of the specific heat of various specimens of boiler scale, and an investi-
gation of the thermal conductivity of boiler scale; measurement of the focal length
of lenses, and the index of refraction of gias^ and of water containing different quanti-
ties of Na CI in solution; photometric observations; experiments with the spectro-
scope, saccharimeter, and diffraction bank ; measurements of the resistance of batteries
o£ various forms and w(»rking under difi^rent conditions ; comparison of the resist-
juices of the various sets of resistance coils in the laboratory ; determination and com-
parison of the constants of three tangent galvanometers; an investigation of the
olianges in electrical resistance of carbon due to changes in pressure.

7. Correct and point out the faults in the following:
**He was the universal favorite of all who knew him, and cemented many friend-
ships at this period (moving in the highest circles of society, and, as he had certain
property, being independent of the profits of liter«iture), and soon completely extin-
ipoiished the breath of slander, which, at the inauguration of his career, had threatened
to sap the foundations of his reputation.'^
8. Coirect and point out the faults :
''As soon as the man in the plug hat had ventilated his opinions, a panic took a hold
of most every person on change. I reckon the market had busted, and some individ-
uals must have lost considerable. I lay down my hat, and just set still and watched.
I was sort of curious to know what would transpire."
9. It is stated to you, in conversation, that naval officers fifty years ago wrote books
at the age of 30, and that they do not writ« books now at that age ; and from this the
speaker infers that the Academy course is defective. On inquiry, you find that he can
cite only one cas^ in support of his statement. Point out the errors in the argument,
and show in general the danger of this form of reasoning.
**01d friends are best. King James used to call for his old shoes ; they were easiest
for his feet." Classify and discuss the argument.
10. ''As to woman's wages I hold them inferior partly because of her inferior
strength, but mainly because of her inferior skill. Nilsson has no cause to complain ;
and the whortleberries sold iu our markets bring no higher price when picked and
offered by men, than when offered by women."
Point out the inductive and the deductive parts of this argument. Put the deduc-
tion in the form of a syllogism, supply the missing premise, and point out the mi^or
and minor premises and the middle term.
N. B. — The proposition, " woman^s wages are inferior," is to be taken as the con-
elusion in the syllogism.

* The castle of Henry IV^ is of more ancient date than the town. Pau was founded
Boat the middle of the tenth century. The site of the castle is finely chosen. From

actainly one of the most fertile in the world ; and the majestic range of the Pyrenees

^PkincesH Adela, with their retinue, which consisted of the lords and ladies of the

at replied that the men would find good ((uarters in the town, but that he and his
lies would entertain the general and his staff.
bout an hour afterward a plentiful dinner was served ; but the general, knowing
experience how necessary it was for the French to be on their guard when eating
drinking with Spaniards, invited the prior and two of the monks to dine with
ae inyitation was accepted in such a manner as to lull any suspicion ; the monks sat
■I to table and ate and drank plentifully with their guests, who, after the repast,
t-ked them heartily for their hospitality, upon which the prior rose and said :
»iitlemen, if you have any wordly affairs to settle, there is no time to lose ; this ia
L iist meal you and I shall take on earth ; in an hour we shall know the secrets of

A.e prior and his two monks had put a deadly poison into the wine in which they

MILITARY EDLX'ATION AMONG THE ROMANS.
Everything contributed to inspire the Romans with martial ardor. The continual
wars they had to maintain against their neighbors made the art of war necessary and
fhmiliar to them ; and even the plough, which constituted their usual employment,
pnpared them for military toil. Rural occupations harden and fortify the sol-
der, whereas the trades practised in towns are only fit to enervate him. Fatigue
•cannot discourage him who exchanges the plough for the sword. The Roman soldiers
were accustomed to walk in five hours twenty and sometimes twenty-four miles, and
-on the march they carried sixty pounds weight. Young Romans of every condition
liaidened themselves by martial exercise. After long races on foot or on horseback,
iShej threw themselves, covered with sweat, into the Tiber, which they swam across.
It was thus officers and soldiers were formed ; and *^ the Roman youth,'' says Sallnst,
**»8 soon as they were able to carry arms, learnt the art of war by performing in the
camps the most arduous tasks. They prided themselves not in giving feasts or sub-
mitting to pleasure, but on having beautiful anus and horses. No difficulty dis-
couraged such men, and no enemy inspired them with fear ; their courage rendered
them superior to all; emulation fired their mind, and to distinguish themselves by
«ome noble action was all their ambition. It was thus they endeavored to secure the
ceteem of their countrymen — in this they conceived tru(j nobility to consist." The
■•oldiers thus hardened from their earliest youth enjoyed good health, ami the Romans
who waged war in so many climates do not appear to have suffered much by illness,

Hm middle of the coarse, thus making tlie four years of stndy conHecntiye. The prac-
ttee-cmiso supplied the place of the omitted sea-service, and gave better opportunities
off tndning. The change went into operation in November, 1851, together with other
ImpfTovements recommended by the Board. The system has continued, with slight
modificationM, to the present time. The first class to receive the benefit of it was that
"which entered in 1851. Six members of this class completed the course in three yeara,
and were graduated in June, 1854 ; the rest of the c1as84pllowed in 1855.
In May, 1861, on the outbreak of the war, the Academy was removed to Newport,
S. I. The three upper classes were detached and ordered to sea, and the remaining
Acting Midshipmen were quartered in the Atlantic House and on board the frigates
Constitution and Santee. In September, 1805, the Academy was moved back to An-
Bapolis, where it has since remained.
When the Bureiau of Navigation was established, July 5, 1862, the Academy was
plaieed under its supervision; March 1, 1867, it was placed under the direct care and
•Upervision of the Navy Department, the administrative routine and financial man-
'i^ement being still conducted through the Bureau. On the 11th of March, 1869, all
Mlcial connection with the Bureau came to an end.
The term of the academic course was changed by law, March 3, 1873, from four to
ilz years. The change took efiect with the class which entered in the following
In 1866, a class of Acting Third Assistant Engineers was ordered to the Academy for
iAstmction. The course embraced the subjects of steam-engineering, iron-manufact-
Bie, chemistry, and mechanics, and practical exorcises with the steam-engine and in
ihe machine-shop. This class was graduated in June, 1868, together with two Cadet-
Engineers who had entered the Academy in 1867. After an interval of four years, in
Ootober, 1871, a new class of Cailet-Eugiueers was admitted. This class followed a
two years' course, somewhat more extended than that of the class of 1868, and was
graduated in 1873. In 1872 and 1873, new classes were admitted, the first of which
left the Academy in 1874 and the second in 1875. By an act of Congre^ approved
February 24, 1874, the course of instruction for Cadet-Engineers was made four years
instead of two; and the new provision was first applie<l to the class entering the
Academy in the year 1874. This class was graduated in June, 1878.

sed to ton, there will be no such appointments at present.
[. The nomination of candidates for admission from the District of Colnmbia and

lal <listrict or Territory is made on the recommendation of the Member or Delegate
h actual residents of his district or Territory.
'. I. Each year, as soon after the 5th of March as possible, Members and Delegates
be notititvl in writing of vacancies that maj" exist in their districts. If such Mem-
. or Delegates neglect to recommend candidates by the 1st of July in that year, the
'«tiiry of the Navy is required by law to fill the vacancies existing in districts act-
j represented in Congress.
^. The ntHuination of candidates is made annually between the 5th of March and
■^st of July. Candidates who are nominated in time to enable them to reach the
^emy on the 11th of June will receive permission to present themselves at that
^ to the Superintendent of the Naval Academy, for examination as to their quali-
'ions for admission. Those who are nominated prior to July 1, but not in time to
f^d the June examination, will be examined on the 22d of September following;
should any candidate fail to report, or be fonnd physically or mentally disqnal-
for a^lmission, in June, the Member or Delegate from whose district he was nom-
^d will be notified to recommend another candidate, who shall be examined on
^M of September following. When any of the dat«s assigned for examinations
r^n Sunday, the examination will take place on the following Monday.
• A sound body and healthy constitution, good mental abilities, a natural aptitude
^tudy and habits of application, persist^^nt eflTort, an obedient and orderly dlsposi-
I and correct moral principles and deportment, are so necessary to success in pur-
ig the course at the Academy, that persons ex)ns<!ious of any deficiency in these
Qcts are earnestly reeom mended not to subject themselves or their friends to the
tiflcation and disappointment consequent upon failure, by accepting nominations
attempting to enter a service for which they are not fitted.
tndents from the Empire of Japan are received for instruction under a resolution

The registry of a name, however, gives no assurance of an appointment, and no
ference will be given in the selection to priority of application.
II. The numl>er of appointments which can be made is limited by law to twenty-
each year. The candidate must not be less than sixteen or more than twenty
n of age; he will l»e required to certify on h4)nor to his pnicise age, to the Academic
knl, previously t4> his examination, and no one will be examined who is over or un-
the prescribed age. His application must be accompanied by satisfactory evidence
^od moral character and health, with infonnation regarding date of birth and
cational advantages hitherto enjoyed. Candidates who receive permission will
lent themselves to the Superintendent of the Naval Academy on the 15th of Sep-
"ber for examination as to their qnalilications for admission.
V, The course of study will comprise four years at the Naval Academy, and two
Itional years at sea. All Cadets who finally graduate will be commissioned Assist-
Engineers in the Navy as vacancies occur. The pay of a Cadet-Engineer while at
Naval Academy is $500 per annum.
• The academic examination previous to appointment will be competitive, and will

i degree; plane geometry; rudimentary natural philosophy; reading; writing;
!ling; English grammar; English composition; geography; free-hand drawing;
an eleuumtary knowledge of the principles governing the action of the steam-
ine. Candidates who possess the greatest skill and experience in the practical
wledge of machinery, other qualificat\on$ being equal, will have precedence for
lission.

statement. Results? (o) Subsequently, the Vandalia is on blockade duty, the whole
coast of Cuba being under efficient blockade. You search an English steamer head-
ing for Santiago de Cuba. She had cleared from Liverpool for Vera Cruz with a
cargo of rifles, saltpetre, and lead. The master states that ho was putting into
Santiago in distress, being out of water. He had previously made no attempt to
speak the blockading squadron, and was only brought to after several shots. Results?

ALFRED TIIK QRKAT, KING OF EXGULXD.
At a period when England was torn by civil wars, and a prey to the crurUy n{ \ht
Danes, a man appeared, destined by Providence to avenge his country, to dtf«>tHi 3i
rights, to enlighten the age in which he lived, and to adorn humanity. Alfred ih
Great was the fourth son of Ethel wolf, king of England; he Hucceeded to the thnvar
on the death of his brother Ethelred, in the year 871. After neveral Actions vitk tki
Danes, the unfortunate Alfred was obliged to seek his safety by fli|;ht, sDd toi
to the cottage of one of his peasants, where he remained several uionths an a i
He afterwards withdrew to the isle of Athelney, in Somersetahire, whei«, harioqi 1
that the earl of Devonshire had obtained a great victory over the Dane*, aad M
taken their magical standanl, he disguised himself as a harper, entered the t w ■■■*
eamp, and was a<lniitted to the principal generals, who praised hia talent* for mwrnt-
Having acquired an exact knowledge of the situation of hia enemie*^ and naAof
that they wore divided among themselves, he seized the favorable nM>oient, jouM*ii tki
earl, headed his troops, sur^irised the Danes at Eddiugton. in Wiltshire, and obtaiMi
a complete victory.
Having secured the i>eace of his dominions, after a great Dumber of battle*, wbci
filled the enemies with terror, his next care was to police hia kingdom. Althuefi
there remain but few of his laws, England owes to him many of thoae adTaBUfs
which render her constitution so precious. The trial by Jury is said to har« htm »-
Btitnted by him. He caused learning to revive, and used his utmost endeavnn» u* rs-
cite a love for letters among his subjects. He was himself a very learned ptitkce.am
all the hours he could take from business were devoted to study. When we ctHM^
the great qualities of Alfred, and his many virtues, we need not be suri>nd<d thai ^
memory is still so dear to Englishmen. — Addison,

LA XAVIGATIOX ANCIENXE.
Jiisqu'^ la fin du si^cle dernier, le navigateur devinait, autant qu'il la calculait, la
position de son navire. Les chronom5tres si r^pandus aujourdliui 6taient alors & I'es-
sai. Les 6ph6m6rides nautiques mdn^es contenaient des fautes. Les instruments de
navigation avaient des degr^s d'erreur, car ces grossiers arbal^tes, astrolabes, cercles
marins, arcs de navigatioUf n'avaient pas encore fait place aux bons sextants et aux
excellents cercles de nos jours. Les exemples ne manquent pas de navires qui, traver-
sant I'Atlantique h cette 6poque, se trouvaient de six, huit et mdme dix degr^ de
longitude au del^ de leur estime. Tel est h present le degr6 de perfection des tables
et des instruments de navigation, que le marin pent aujourd'hui d^couvrir, avec une
^rande certitude, tout courant qui coupe sa route.
