boat 0aenefs.-We cannot too earnestly cali The
attention Of steamboat owners to the new natent
of John H. Ferguson, au engineer Of this civ. It
is the improved spray condenser to be applied to
steamers, mention OF which has already been
made in the Courier. It'll a practical, useful in
vention by which the high pressure steamers are
to be converted at once into low pressure.
n The spray condenser in its application reduces
the high steam of boats to low steam, and thus
prevents any possibility OF explosions While
using less pressure OF steam it gains by the yacu-
| um, on reactlonary power an increase OF fully
thirteen pounds to the square inch. mat Il an IN
crease OF power with less steam than the limit
| allowed by the law. This patent has the full IN
| dorsement OF the Scientific American and the
4 American ArH2an, as well as others, which pro
nounee it one of the most important patents Of the
age. s.l.. a.a.5a.
