HISTORIC ANCHOR.

The big ship William II. Macy. now
in port, has hanging over her port
bow an anchor that was in the frigatc
Cumberland when she was sunk in the
Hampton Roads by the ironclad Merri-
mac. The anchor is a very large one
for a merchantmen, weighing over five
tons, but il has done service on she
Macy for over ten years, and will prob
ably continue to do service for ten
years more. 1t is a regular old fash
toned anchor. with wooden stock and
broad bladed flukes. Capt. Amesbury
cannot give an exact history of the an
Choir. II was sold. he says. together
with lot of other wreckage from the
disaster in the Hampton Roads, and
found its way down South where it
was picked up by Capt. Amesbury
some ten years ago, more as a bargain
than as a historical relic. Capt. Ames-
bury is very proud of the big anchor.
1t is the biggest anchor in port.
Capt. Amesbury has another curious
relic aboard ship which he likes to
show to friends. It is a flower-a
bachelors button-which was pressed
/ in a book in 1893 at Rockfort. Me.
When Capt. Amesbury took the Macy
ten years ago he found the flower in
an old volume that had belonged to
the mother of Capt Hardness, former
master of the ship. The flower was
placed in the chronometer that Capt.
Hardness had used for many years
at sea and has remained there ever
since, except when Capt. Amesbury
takes it out to show it to friends.

RIVER STEAMBOATS,.

The Western American Specimens Ad,ni-
rably Adapted For Their Purposes.
While the western American river steam.
er may be improved in some minor points,
it is, in general design and construction,
admirably fitted for the peculiar work that
1t has to do Considered from IL strictly
engineering standpoint, it is II crcditable
structure. Furthermore, it is Il striking
example of the survival of the flttcst
In comparing the advances which have
been made in the ocean and American
lake marine with those on the western riv-
ers, the latter have generally been made to
appear in an unfavorablc light. The fact,
however, has been overlooked in most
cases that the conditions of service are
radically different, and these differences
nccessitate, in fact compel, corresponding
differences in the character of the steam
crs. The boilers and engines of the mag
niiicCnt ocean liners would be ms much out
of place and would fare as disastrOusly on
the western river steamboat as would the
machinery of the latter If transferred to
ocean service Machinery essentially sim
liar to that employed on the American
lakes has been tried many times on west
ern rivers. Large sums of money have
been spent on experiments, and the result
has always been failure. Even the vertical
engine has been abandoned Barring I'M
important details, the machinery OF the
! western river steamer is prc-eminently
''the right thing in the right place. -
1t is not uncommon for the boats to run
aground, and it is still more common for
the cargo on board to be badly distributed.
Either of thes; conditions will cause an
immediate distortion of the entire steamer,
and the machinery is thrown out of line.
! The peculiar Tyre of engines employed
stands this severe service without injury
or arrangement.
Tho accepted type of machinery is so
| SIM lc and reliable that it can be handled
satisfactorily by small number of men,
and these need not necessarily be highly
skilled, nor of long experience. This is of
/ some importance in view of the fact that
the months Of idlcncss render 1t difficult to
| retain the best men, and that it is always
necessary to keep the salary account down.
Experiment has demonstrated that the
saving in fuel due to improved machinery
does not, as n rule, compensate for tho
drawbacks accompanying its use, such as
increased weight, space occupied, greater
first cost and less reliability. w II. Bryan
