The Lee and thu Watcher.

a writer in the New Orleans Times, who is
evidently posted, gives the following interest
ing facts in regard to the two fastest steamboats,
In the world-the r. z. Lee and the Natchez,
which recently made such remarkable time up
stream from New Orleans to st. Louis:
It is a contest between power on one side
and model on the other.
The Lee has the power. The cylinders of
her engines are forty inches In diameter Civ
ing. in round numbers, n piston-surface of
], 200 square inches to each engine, or 2, 400
inches to both. The cylinders of the Natchez
measure thirty-four inches in diameter giving
q piston-surface of S67 square inches to each
engine, or l,734 inches to both. Therefore,
the Lee has en- excess of 666 square inches of
piston surface. Under the locked safety valve
rule, the Lee is allowed a working pressure of
128 pounds to the square inch, and the Natchez
139 pounds. The first, then, has a pressure
of 307, 200 pounds, and the latter PAL ,O26
pounds, supplied to their two engines at every
stroke-the Lee having an excess Of &C, ia
pounds over the Natchez. The engines of
both boats are ten feet stroke. there being,
therefore, no difference ofpower on that score.
The dimensions and pressure allowed are cor
rect; at least they are taken from the Inspect
or's certificates. The above figures, express
ing the difference Of power, can be easily ver-
flied, as they are the result Of very simple
calculations. -gT.E.
The Natchez has the model. Not only is
this very evident to any one who has seen the
two boats under headway-the Lee forcing her
way through the water, rolling the foaming
surges in front of her bow, the Natchez Gid
ing through without ripple-but the result
of the race, so far, proves the same thing. To
Vicksburg. the Lee has gained fourteen min
utes on the Natchez. As they are running at
the rate Of about fifteen miles an hour, or of a
mile in four minutes. this would place the Lee
some three and half miles, or Is, 40 feet
ahead Of her antagonist. This, divided by
400, the number of miles between New Or
leans and Yicksburg, makes gain of only a
fraction over forty-six feet to the mile. It is
plain, then, that the scientific curves Of model
lie with the Natehez; for the Lee, in spite of
her enormous excess Of power is gaining on
her but forty-six feet to the mile, or about o
sixth Of her length, to use racing language. by
y head.
The Natchez was built with the express view
of beating the Lee. The result OF the race
shows that her builder relied too much on a
hne model. and did not put quite power enough
in her. One inch more Of cylinder would
probably have given her the championship Of
the Western waters.
