One Of his first inventions since the Meteor
failure was a steam generator which he has
perfected so that with p pressure Of from
horse power from one pound Of coal per
hour. BE says that a 125-hoTSe power gem
orator, holding 200 gallons Of water, at
temperature Of SO with a wood fire, showed
steam at the b0w-oG in minutes % sec
Onds, and in 10 minutes there was 400
pounds pressure, this being accomplished
with natural draught Besides his steam
generator he has invented a means for max
ing one piston valve run two cylinders and
reverse. Steam passes directly through tile
valve from the high TO the low pressure en-
CINE without having to 90 by way OF a
steam-chest and thus losing a percentage OF
power by condensation.
The Bliven Hercules Steam Generator &C.
cupes about 40 per cent Of the SPACE taken
up 10y the ordinary type Of marine boiler for
the same power and is lighter. 1t is made
II aluminium bronze, as are all parts Of the
machinery Mr.. Biven expects to use. Ia
the language of the inventor: Water
goes through a hollow CRATE and around tie
outer side Of the combustion chamber up TO
the base Of the steam drums, passing
through one pipe into a series Of vertical
cones standing IN the combustion chamber,
and feeding up to the height in the
cones that you wish to carry water in the
boiler. 1t maintains a perfect circulation
and uniform height OF water In the boiler
1t avoids all pruning, foaming or lifting OF
the water, and gives dry steam to the en-
gines."

The model of the 43O-foot steamship re-
ferred to shows easy lines, with great buoy
ancy and natural stability. The sides tum-
bl5 home above the water line amidships,
the section Is Of the V shape, and with an
extreme beam of Y feet, beam at load
water line OF 58 feet, draueht loaded with
1000 tons Of freight of only % feet inches
il will be seen that she is indeed meant for
a racer. Light her beam at the water line
is So feet, draught Is feet inches, and
length on water line 40 feet. Her length
over all is $50 feet, the 30 feet Of overhang
loaded being proportoued by 81 feet aft and
10 feet forward. Her bows are fine and her
run is clear.
Running from the midship section aft on
her bottom are three distinct hulls to hold
three distinct sets OF engines and provide
for three screws. The engines are well aft
near the screws, and when loaded there are
8 feet of water over the blades.
The spar deck is feet above the water
line and 50 feet above this is the main
deck. The greatest beam is feet above
tie spar deck, or 10 feet above the load
water line, thus giving buoyancy estimated
at more than the total displacement of the
boat The spar deck is water tight, and be-
low this are forty-e eight water-tight compaTt-
mcnts. The spar deck gives 9ccOmmOda-
ton to officers and crew, besides 1900 steer
age ana 600 seCOnd-class passengers. On
tie main deck Is a cabin 80 feet long, 60
feet wide and feet high. The hurri-
cane deck is $50 feet long and So feet wide
There are no spars whatever, the pilot
house, stacks and skylightS being the only
things above the hurricane deck
The total capacity of the ship is 40o0 tons
of freight, 1900 steerage, COO second class
and 500 first-class passengers the total dis
placement loaded being 5000 tons.
The material of hull is intended to be mild
steel, with u per cent of aluminium. The
plating Is IA inch, steel L frames, double
Tiveted and self-calking seams. The power
is 10 be furnished by eighteen steam genera
tors, with a combined heating furnace Of
1900 square feet CRATE surface of 1900
square feet, each generator tested to 1900

and as it is estimated that the generators
are capable OF $4,000 horse power, 5000 Will

The Rev. T. Chalmers Easton preached

In the course of his remarks DI. Easton
