RIVER STEAMBOATS,.
The Western 1SAerican Specimens Admit

rss8ly Adsptss1 For Their Purposes.
While the wcstesn American river steam.
er may be improved In some minor points,
1t is in general design and construction,
admirably fitted for tlre peculiar work that
1t has to do. Consider ed from strictly
engineering standpoint, 1t II u creditablo
structure. Furthermore, IL is a striking
example Of the survival on tho fttest.
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 unfavorable Hight. The fact,
however, has been overlooked in most
cascs that tho conditions Of service arc
radically different, and tlrcsc differences
necesxitate, In fact compel, corresponding
differences in tho character of the steam
era The boilers and engines Of the mag
nificeht ocean liners would be as much out
OF place and would fare as disastrously on
the western river steamboat rs would the
machinery Of the latter if transferred to
ocean service. Machinery essentiallyssim
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 un.
important details, the machinery of the
western river steamer Is prc-eminently
1.-THE right thing in the right place."
1t Is not uncommon for the boats To rum
aground, and it Is still more common for
the cargo OH board to be badly distributed.
Either OF these conditions will cause an
immediate distortion of she entire steamer,
and the machinery Is thrown out of line.
The peculiar type Of engines employed
stands this severe scrviee without injury
or arrangement
The accepted type of machinery Is 50
simple 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 idlcness 'rcnder it difficult to
retain the best men, and that 1t is always
necessary to keep the salary account down. !
Experiment has demonstrated thai tho
saving in fuel due to improved machinery
does not, as "a rule, compensate for the
drawbacks accompanying Its use, such as
increased weight, space occupied, greater
first cost and less reliability.-w. H. Bryan
