Wire and Hemp Rope.-An experiment was
recently tried in England nj the Wooiwich dock
yard 10 ascertain the comparatiye strength OF
wire and hemp ropes. A wire rope three inches
round, and hemp rope OF three strands hawser
laid, common make, seven inches round, were
splicediogether and placed in the setting machine
and on the hydraulic power being applied, the
hemp rope broke in the middle on the strain
reaching III tons--the wire rope remaining appa-
renty as strong as when the experiment COM
menced. wire rope, % inches round was then
on the power being applied, again the hemp rope
broke in the middle. with strain Of 1918 tons,
the wire rope continuing apparently unnjured.
This is considered very satisfactory experiment.
Novel Steamer.-An iron vessel named the
Enterprise, intended for the Deep Sea Fishing
Association of Scotland, has been launched on the
Clyde. She is about one hundred feet in length,
and sixteen feet BEAM her measurement about
one hundred tons, and her engines are one hum
dred horse power. The propeug power. on q
totally new principle, by Messrs, Huthven, Of
Glasgow. the paientees, requires neither paddles
nor screw. One important feature OF the lnven-
tion is, that by simple movement the vessel can
be either stopped, turned, or backed, almost IN.
simultaneously, without requiring the steam TO be
lei off, or the machinery stopped. The prnrip'e
OF propulsion is the injection OF water tnrough
pipes, 10 act upon the mass of water IN winch the
vessel is moving. James Rumsey employed this
principle, but Ruthven's Improvement relates 70
the exit tubes.
