Iron steamer.
The iron steamer now building at the foot of Jane
street, on the North river, by Ericsson intended
to test an improvement in the steam engine on which
he has been engaged for the last six years, and
which 1t Is believed will be productive of very
great increase OF speed. Ericsson has entered into
stipulation that this new boat shall be caoable ri
running at rate fue miles hour greater than the
average speed OF the steamboat Empire, during the
season OF 1874. The arrangement Of the engines is
entrely different from that of ordinary river boats
the whole of the machinery and boilers being placed
IN the bottom, by which great stability is given to
tne boat, and more room obtained for the accommo-
dailon OF passengers, the main deck being entirely
S aDn ss from stem to stern. Although only
cious than those Of any other steamboat hitherto
constructed, each measuring $50 feet in length and
30 feet in width The machinery will be SO arranged as
cation by which the dsagreeabe smell uniformlv com.
planned of steamboats, be conveyed to the saloons
or other places occupied by the passenpcrs
Besides the extensive saloons on The main ana rn.,
decks there space OF 20 feet in length aba the en-.
CINE ROOM below the main deck, to Be appropriated
solely to the ladies' which will be divided into Spacious
toilet rooms and other conveniences an entirely no.
vel and most desirable feature in the arrangement Of
steamboat The kitchens will be placed forward of the
engine room under the main deck and the dishes will
be passed up into the dining by peculiar mocha.
nical contrivance The moderate length Of the boat
secured by the above arrangement not only dminshes
rs frst cost but renders it manageable and less
liable 70 collisions and other accidents, which
unually occurring on our crowded river.
The boat ia built entre, of American iron She Is "
,eet WIDE IN the water line and measuring 60 feet
ner gusrds she Is divided into four water tight
Psrtmena py three iron bulkheads Accidents like that
whca lately occurredto the Swallow will therefore not
endanger TINS new boat Her engines consist in two
Cylinders Of 90 inches Diameter and Ave feet stroke
The shortns. Of the stroke, compared with the diane.
