THE NEW MARINE MOTOR.

Tt is a somewhat exciting experience,
in these recOrd-breaking days, to make
a sea trip upon the fastest steamer that
is now or ever was ahoat. The small
torpedo boat Turbinia, whose speed
performances have astonished the ship
ping world, and which have opened up
the possibilities of ocean travelling to a
rapidity until now undreamed of, made
another trial from the Tyne yesterday.
There was on board of her Hon. Charles
A. Parsons, of HOleyn Hall, Wylam, to
whose inventive genius the present APP
plication of the steam turbine is due.
AS she lay at her mOOrings in the Tyne
at Wallsend the Turbinia presented
very slender appearance. She is, in
fact. little more than thin shell,
moulded on lines best qualified for the
attainment of great speed, the trst
object in the construction of her null
being to present the least resistance to
wind and sea. She is 100 feet long and
9 feet beam at her broadest part, the
stem being as sharp as knife-blade, TO
which it tapers in very gradual fash
ion She has a maximum displacement
of forty-tWo tons, and draws only three
feet OF water On one of her trials a
week ago last Saturday the mean speed
of 2% knots was maintained over the
measured mile-equal to slightly over
37% statute miles. We believe that
the very best record is 80 knots, Cb-
tanned by Messrs. Thornecroft.The prln-
cipal of the turbine may best be de-
scribed, if the apparent contradictions
of terms may be excused, as a steam
windmill. The action of the steam di-
rected on the vanes of the mill drives
the shaft at a rate of 2,200 revolutions
per minute when at full speed, and
there are three separate shafts, each
fixed with three propellers, placed three
feet apart, so that, with nine propel-
lers revolving at such terrific speed, II
can easily be imagined that high pro
pulsive force can be obtained from en-
gines much lighter than those ordi-
narily used.-Newcastle Journal.
Evening journal., 1897-07-16

But the contrary is the case. Possibly
it was to vary the monotony of seeing
ID. n. Morgan" plainly written in
black ink hundreds of times day that
the treasurer took up the fad. 1t Is
plausible. Certainly he entered into il
with all the zest of the amateur, and as
result he has secured one of the most
voluminous collections of autographs
in the world. His library of note
books contains the names Of every Wis
itor who has called at the Treasury in
four long years, and as the Treasury is
one of the show places of Washington,
he possesses the signatures of most of
the transient visitors to the national
capital during that period.
What he will do with them only Mr.
Morgan can tell They would be useful
in the preparation of a volume of mem
Oirs. Whatever else it might lack.
the pames Nwould be spelled correctly,
and that would be something of an in
nova.ion.
Il is an odd list of names. In some
cases it represents the only tangible re-
suit of many fruitless visit to the cap
ital. The great and the would-be-great,
the tO-bes and the has-beens, the COM
ing and the going, the fortunate and
unfortunate are jumbled up together in
the little books just as they are in life.
Mr. Morgan has made ii a point to Of
fer a fair exchange for every auto
graph he asked. This is another inno-
walton. To some it was a card on
which he wrote his name with a pen
that had signed bonds worth millions,
possibly that very morning. To others
he gave q fac-simile of the signatures
OF all the treasurers of the United
States, together with his own. BY this
list it appears that Mr. Morgan was the
nineteenth treasurer of the nation.
Thomas T. Tucker of South Carolina,
leads them all in length of office with
twenty seven years to his credit; Mich
cal Hillegas and Francis E. Spinner fol-
lowing with fourteen eventful years
each. Treasurer Hillegas was the first.
He served during the revolutionary
war and up to the beginning of Wash
ington's first term. Treasurer
Spinner served during the war and un-
til 1875. Several treasurers have left Of
flee broken in health. But not so does
Mr.. Morgan leave. He has combined
business with pleasure. Signatures have
been his fad, not his fate, and he car
ries with him into privacy the heartiess
well wishes of the half million citizens
whose names. next to his own public
record, are the proudest mementO Of
his official life-New York Mail and

FRIDAY, JULY I6. 1897.

The Evening Journal Of yesterday
printed story to the effect that Mr..
Clement b. Smyth had been led TO in
vest $50 900 in the Golden Sceptre Min
ing Company Through misrepresenta-
tions and that he proposed to recover
It. Mr.. Smyth called at the Evening
Journal Office this morning and denied
that he was in any way connected with
the Golden Sceptre Mining Company,
or that he has any money invested in IL,
or that he ever has had any investment
in that company. We cheerfully print
Mr. Smyth's denial. We say cheer
fully" because it is a satisfaction to
know that Mr.. Smyth, who is one Of
Wilmingtons leading business men, be-
ing a director of the First National
Bank and the Diamond State Iron Com
pany and the president of the Thomas
Manufacturing Company, has not tied
up any money in a concern which has,
unfortunately caused much loss to
some Of our feliow-citizens.

SOME OLD LETTERS.

POSTMASTER MOORE SHOWS A
REPORTER A BATCH FOR THE
DEAD LETTER OFFICE.
Postmaster Moore called the attention
of an Evening Journal reporter to a
bundle of letters he received from the
Clayton House, which were assigned to
guests who had, at times. stopped there.
Some of the letters were a year cd
and had been pigeon-holed at the hotel
all this time
The letters will be forwarded to the
dead letter office, and the authorities
will, as usual, make an effort to ascer-
tain the whereabouts of their owners.
Some Of the letters bear the ldhirty-day
"hold-over" stamp, and these will be
held until called for. Should no one
claim them these, too, will be sent to
the dead letter office.
Postmaster Moore said this morning
that if the proprietors of the hotels
would. on receiving the letters for
guests that had departed, send them
Immediately to the post office no delay
would be occasioIed in finding their
owners.
