The entire revolution in ship-building by which iron has supplanted wood, throws all the opportunities and advantages of this extensively practised art or industry within the sphere of the Me- chanical Engineer. The modern steamship embodies more than any other structure of the 15 ;' ' /, ; : :;W;> ' : A present day all the principles and practices of mechanical and dynami- cal science, and there is no class of structures in which science as well as practical skill is more positively demanded. ...Many millions, perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars, must be expended in future years to meet, in this country, the growing wants of our naval and merchant services. Another important sphere of usefulness may be found in the applica- tion of steam power to works of internal industry, to railroads, manu- facturing establishments, mines, &c. Works for construction of engines and machinery are scattered all over the land, embracing every conceiv- able variety. Other establishments adopt for special trades or business operations the construction of iron bridges, and the application of iron to build- ings, two fields of employment for labor and capital which are rapidl}- increasing and extending; and in which the Mechanical Engineer shares with the Civil Engineer and Architect the labor and credit of planning and erecting the beautiful structures of iron which are beginning every- where to spring into existence.
