A New Invention.

d. G. Chister, Chief Engineer of the steamer
Dallas has invented novel arrangement for
operating the whistle valve on steam boats or
for signals, and in place of common steam
engine with governor, camo, etc., for operating
the fog whistle valve, common spring clock,
combined with another spring and train of
wheels are substituted. The clock and train of
wheels are 60 arranged that the stated intervals
Zone, two or three minutes the flyer termina-
ting 1.-THE train of wheels, is released and
shaft is put in motion, that operates two
balanced valves, steam and exhaust, which
admit steam too, and release it from one side of
the piston of small cylinder 1ax3 inches the
piston rod of which connects direct to the
whistle valve. By this arrangement greater
accuracy is obtained both in the intervals and
length of the blasts, as also very great
saving of steam, only one cylinder full of
steam used during the time the whistle is
blowing say Is seconds in each two or three
minutes, while with the arrangements now in
use steam is used all the time, therefore this
arrangement would use only about one five
hundredth part of the steam that is now used
There is also very great saving in first costs
some four or five hundred dollars, as this
arrangement can be fitted complete for about
$50. For steam boats it will give short
sharp blast as often as required without the
attention of any one, for it is provided with
self winding arrangement, which keeps the
tension of the spring the same at all times. 1t
is adapted for either steam or compressed air
and will run without attention as long as
steam or air is supplied, or the clock may run
and keep time, while the other parts remain at
rest, until required to operate the whistle
valve.
The above arrangement is in operation at
times ON board the steamer A. j. Dallas.
