steamship shaft indicators.

One Of the most notable marine de-
vices in the engine room of first class
steamships is an arrangement by which
the engineers are enabled to know wheth-
er that part of the shaft which extends
outside the ships shold is working smooth
ly or not. In AL twin screw ships this
runs through Il sort of tunnel fastened
to the ship with big brackets. .Of course
it is impossible TO get at this shaft dur
ing Il voyage. On the Paris. for i'll
stance, this is said to be- 10 feet long. To
meet the objection i'll question little,
fine tube Is made to pass along the top
of the shaft which runs inside the ship.
just over the shaft, and water is con-
stantly running through this tub, in IL
fine stream. The engineer on watch fire.
quently tries the temperature of this
water with his hand. SO that if the water
We're warm he would know at once that
something WAS wrong with the working
of the shaft and it would b, slowed down,

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-A blizzard of the
most approved pattern. with snow,
sleet and an energetic wind, swept
down on Chicago Sunday night and has
ragged with constantly increasing vio-
lence. Great snowdrifts blocked the
streets, suburban trains were delayed
and snow sweepers We're kept inces-
sanity in use to prevent stoppage of the
street car lines, traffic on which was
badly delayed. The blizzard is the most
severe that has visited Chicago for
many years.
At noon the wind was blowing at the
rate of 20 miles All hour, with indica-
tions that the storm would continue
through the night, with the coldest
weather of the year. All incoming
trains were from an hour to two hours
late, and the roads were becoming
worse blocked all the time
Pedest rians Injured.
The wind rushed around the down
town corners with terrific force, carry
ing pedestrians off their feet and injur-
ing many. Jane Brahany was hurled
against tireplug at Dearborn and Van
Buren, streets and fatally injured. Many
carriages on Michigan avenue, where
the wind sweeps straight off the lake,
were overturned. Lake Michigan was
lashed into u fury, and the waves rushed
over the breakwater and swept clear
