To prevent the engines OF a vessel
from tracing" when tho screw rises
above the water, Signof Il. Putalo has
invented an electrical regulator. The
contiivanco consists OF two vessels Of
mercury, connected at the bottom by a
tub and mounted fore aud afl In tho
ship. The vessels are about hall full
at normal depth. When the ship
pushes forward so as 10 raise tho screw
the rods connected with the resistance
are submerged one after the other. so
that an electro-magnot IL brought into
play, the whole resistance being short
uircuited when the screw Is entirely out
Of the water. The electro-magnct
operates throttle valve In the main
steam pipe, which Is thrown open by
another magnet BY this arrange
ment the steam is turned of and on.
From experiments II has been shown
that the mercury vessels need not be
more than 81 inches apart on q ship
800 feet long.
