greatest attainable resistance to the right
angled pressure of a column of water of )
feet in altitude, this is the mean of the

her registered tonnage calls for a cubical
capacity Of nearly 90 tons. The construe-
ton IS of good white-oak and white-pine
materials of proportional sizes, well fastened
throughout with galvanized iron, and in
this respect will bear close inspection.
Salt and charcoal have been Freely used TO
keep low temperature upon all enclosed
timber. For speed, all that the model Is
capable Of has been sought for by the latest
known principles connected with the sub
jeet, and her performance warrants the
assertion that while able to carry over the
