inches respectively, with stroke of "a
inches. The crank-shaft is built up Of cast
steel-balanced disks and all forging through
out the engine are of steel. The crank
shaft is inches in diameter. The air
pump Is - inches in diameter by 1O-inch
stroke, worked from the low-pressure
engine crosshead. The engine is of light,
substantial build and will run at high
speed, calculated to develop about 600
horse power.
The boiler is of the marine type, 10 feet
in diameter and 10 feet long, and will carry
a working pressure of 135 pounds to the

But down in Tulare the Washington

They have had their hands full of burg

the brave men have both longed for some

The chance came yesterday when they de-
parted with great secrecy from the Seven

clothes, for who ever heard of detective in
uniform, and they went immediately toward
Hattie street.

she is indeed in dangerous condition. and
her crew become filled with the greatest
anxiety and fear.
The Umbra, one of the Cunard lines
swiftest ships, short time ago became
disabled iu midocean and lay powerless for
many days. pitching and tossing on the
waves. Passing steamships brought the
news that her machinery had broken down,
and the telegraph wires flashed the intelli-
genee over America and Europe, causing
much apprehension among those who had
relatives and friends on board.
1t is necessary when a ships machinery
breaks down that she be kept as steady as
ossible. and she must be kept out of the
trough of the sea, with her head to the
waves.
This is done in some instances by the aid
OF sails, which all steamers carry, but the
masts of the vessels are not always set right
and the sails cannot be used to advantage
L. G. Newgard. third officer of the Pacific
Mail steamship City Of Sydney, was asked
yesterday what appliances were used for
steadying ship when it became necessary
to repair her machinery.
1T depends a great DEAL" said he. ION
what breaks down. In some some instances
there is nothing for it but to lie to and wait
for tow from some passing ship. Ii 1t is
practicable 10 repair tho machinery the YES
sells sails are hoisted and she may be kept
out of the trough of the sea that way.
Every ship. however. carries what Is
called a drag. 1t is shaped like huge um-
brela and Is about six feet long, but when
opened has circumference of twenty feet.
1T consists Of strong iron frame TO
which is attached canvas bag. The frame
has an iron ring to which hawser is
fastened, which attaches it to the vessel.
This drag is thrown out ahead. and by its
resistance to the waves keeps the boat out
OF the trough OF the sea and makes her as
steady as the circumstances will permit.
1T is, OF course, impossible to anchor in
midocean. The iron chain cables which
fathoms in length for each anchor, and that
would be entirely too short
Sometimes IL Is possible to get hold on
the bottom with a small anchor attached to
hawsers, which are 125 fathoms long, but
it is very seldom
THE drag Is the surest means. and II the
weather remains good Ii will keep the ship
steady enough to make all repairs possible.
The ship broke her crank shaft ON Feb
uary 10 last year, aud lay for seventeen
days helpless. We were lying about seventy
miles southwest OF Corinto, Nicaragua. The
captain used the sails, but was unable to
make any headway. and we had to be lowed
back to Panama for repairs"
Third Officer Watson of the Oceanic
steamship Mariposa said substantially the
same thing, and added that steamship
would as soon think Of going to sea without
her anchor as she would VI leaving her drag
behind.

University Notes.

About ten years ago 1t was that the
Greek letter fraternities of the university
held so unenviable reputation, and gave
to the university, though not without the
assistance of many 'barbarians" (as those
without the fraternities are called, the
name of being the seat of wild and fast
set Of young men. To fight what was con-
sidered to be malignant systematic fra
ternity system-a college paper called the
Occident was starteu-distinctly anti-fra-
teruity.
From whatever influence it brought there
came a decided change both in the fra
ternties and in the tone of the entire uni
versity. until the past few years has found
nothing whatever Objectionable in the fra
ternitles other than those some urge against
q system Of secret societies at college.
But the Oceident has continued to be If
not aRgressivey anti-fraternity yet dis
tincly so in views, and as a result the paper
represents but small proportion of the
university. For some time past the need
of a representative, sble college journal has
been seen, and IL is 10 meet this demand
that the fraternity and non-frdternity men
have united in forming Joint stock COM
paDy to be known as the Berkeleyan Pub
fishing Company. The company will be
Incorporated.
Shares to the number OF $50 will be issued
at par value OF So 80 share. BY the con-
stitution. the shares will be about equally
distributed between the fraternity and nom
fraternity men, each of the nine fraternities
TO hold eight shares and no more. The
paper, The Berkeleyan. will be issued semi
weekly--on Friday as college journal with
all the departments, and on Tuesday as
| news sheet. Although the name, The
BerkeleyaD, was the name or one OF the
now defunct college papers. the two journals
| have no connection.
Five directors. of whom at least two must
be Frat men, will have general supervision
of the management of the paper. For the
remainder of the year the following were
elected directorf: Walter Henry, '93, Zeta
Psi; L. Gates, '93. Delta Kappa Epsilon;
III. Nj. Willis, '9a, Phi Dslta Theta; Joseph
