riously and one MORALLY wounded. There great
many Fenans in the county of Cork, but this Is
the first occasion on which they have done worse than
drill and march by moonlight.
The Latest Yankee Experiment i'm Naval
Architecture.
From the London Times August IL.
In few weeks another eccentric ship, even for
this most eccentric shipbuiidng age will be aoat upon
the Thames. We have jointcd ships unsuitable ships
ships Of seven inches Of iron and the Great Eastern Now
again. We are promised another addition to the motley
feet and yet another improvement in the launch Of the
cigm ship.
The vessel is of wrought ron and is being built the
private yacht Of an American gentleman--Mr. Wynan-
who, have said has designed everything connected
with the ship The execution at first entrusted to
Mr. Hepworh and he expended upon the most perfect
workmanship Of which wrought iron is capable. The
binary things 1t p possible to imagine 1t is immensely
long, perfectly round, resembling the shape Of cigar
being however, nely pointed ut both ends instead Of
as in cigar, only one. The form is so at variance
with all all generally received notions Of nau-
tical beauty that We can only stare at it in mute
astonshmcnt, though there is something in Its long,
tapering lines suggestive Of immense speed that
almost ashamed that no one ever suggested such idea
before In Justice, however TO our own time, it must
be said that such vessel could only be built at period
when iron ships in use and iron ship building had
reached its highest slate of development Looking at
her now, she appears to be little than gigantic
iron manyad for some vessel of the Great Eastern class
having rather wide diameter in the middle and tapercd
ut each end to point almost fine that Of needle.
Her boilers like all the other parts of the vessel
n plan. Four of them the locomotive princ
pie, WIFI vertical tuDes DluSt ian Is 10 give tncm
draught, and they to work hundred and fifty
pounds pressure. This is great power but the boil
ers are built far stronger than even locomotive boilers
Is assorted that they could be worked up thousand
pounds or even one thousand hundred pounds per
square inch with safety There one hundred and
hrtys six feet of fire bar surface and is expected that
with the aid OF tho blast FAM each of these one hundred
and thirty-sx feet can be made TO burn fifty pounds
one nominal horse power for every two and
o half pounds of Goals consumed per hour
Mr. Vin ha ak
thousand five hundred horse power In our best mail
steamships, their fastest trips, is found difficult
burn thirty pounds of coal per foot Of fire bar surface per
hour II Mr. Wynans then, burn fifty pounds, he will
be working up TO nearly two thousand FIVE hundred horse
powo or at the rate Of eight indicated horse power TO
every ton burden Of his In very fast going
steamers the ratio Of horse power TO tonnage is only
about two and half tons TO nominal horse power
The advantage which tho cigar ship possesses in this
respect, together with those which her slender FORM
smooth surface and very small midshp section (ony
hundred fee will give should enable her to go at an ex
traordnary speed. II is said that regards motion at
sea, rolling and pitching will be reduced to minimum
and certainly her form seems TO suggest that such
suit will very probably be effected. With very small
ass and all her Weights well below the line she
Is not likely to roll But II she does not pitch, but
through the water, she will 'lake it In over ALL"
and in that case with her upper deck SO near tho sea- we
should fancy that 1t would be swept fore and aft The
extreme length Of the vessel over all is two hun
dred and feet and her greatest width and depth
is OF course amdshps, where the circle Is sixteen feet
diameter Thus them her length less than sixteen
times that of her creates, width ordinary vessels being
thought very IL width is only Of
their length.
Murder Upon Mnrder.

children In london, as reported by last steamer The
