German Lloyd company.
The principal dimensions are:
Length over all. $40 feet: extreme
breadth. 40 feet inches: height from
bottom of pontoon TO top of walls. 43
feet inches. The internal width is
sufficient to allow vessels up to 50 feet
beam to be docked and the depth over
the keel blocks is "a feet. The maxi
mum lifting power is about $1,000 TONS
The dock is what is known as the
self-docking type. that is to say, access
TO all external surfaces is possible for
painting or repairs. Longitudinally it
consists of two side walls. between
which are connected three pontoons,
the center one being 2i0 feet long and
the two end pontoons 1876 feet. The
pumping and controlling machinery
consists OF eight horizontal centrifugal
circulating pumps, placed four in each
wall of the dock. These pumps have
large vertical shafts geared by means
of bevel wheels and horizontal shafts
to two sets Of compound engines of
125-horse-power each, which are placed
on a deck near the top of the walls.
There are four engines in all and each
of them drives two fifteen-inch centri-
fugal pumps, the whole machinery be-
ing capable of lifting ship of about
II. 900 tons displacement clear of the
water in about two and one-half hours.
The dock is divided into thirty-eight
water-tight compartments. each emp
tied or filled by separate valves. Each
engine is supplied by a large, horizont-
al multi-tubular marine boiler which is
placed in the walls in close proximity
to 1t.

Concentrated or Power.

The close of the present century Is
marked by tendency in the engin-
eering world toward concentration
of energy and material. A quarter
of century since a craft 200 feet
long was almost a rarity on the great
lakes, and when the locks OF the We'll
land canal were extended 235 feet 1t
was supposed that they would fully
meet any demand to be made upon
them in the succeeding hundred years.
Today there are more large craft on
these waters approaching 400 feet in
length than those of 300 feet and less.
and many exceed the greater figure
rdnning, some of them, even up to 460
feet.
The same increase and concentra-
tion is also witnessed among the rail-
roads Heavier roadbeds and rails,
and more capacious rolling stock. are
everywhere observed, and the locomo-
tive has reached a degree OF develop
ment as regards size. weight, power and
economy little dreamed of generation
ago.
A very striking illustration of this
concentration of power was afforded
recently by a train hauled over the
Pennsylvania railroad between Altoo-
na and Columbia. which consisted OF
l30 cars, was nearly three-quarters of
a mile in length and that weighed $3.50
tons. 1t was made up as follows: Lo-
connective, lis tons; other rolling stock.
1873 tons: freight tcoaD. 1893 tons.

Factories without chimney..

The statement that chimney, the
third or fourth tallest in the world. has
just been completed at cost of $751;
900, and the announcement that the
most gratifying success has attended
the use of forced draught, without any
chimneys whatever out OF the ordin-
ary. appear in contemporary journals.
The experiment of forced draught
gives promise of great economy in fuel,
as well as doing away with the expen-
sive and monumental chimney. The
draught arrangement consists of a
large fan, which is connected with a
four by four double cylinder engine.
The fan has wheel fifty-four inches
in diameter and runs at almost any
rate of speed desired. The draught is
something prodigious and makes it
possible to employ fuel of a lower
grade than any heretofore used. In
stead OF the best Cumberland coal. a
mixture of Cumberland and screenings
has been tried. The cost of operating
the fan, even with imperfect apparatus.
is something like $500 per annum. The
smoke stack is scarcely taller than the
roof of the building, and of less capa-
city than heretofore used for such pur-
poses.
