Here is sample of what tender
foot reporter will have showed at him
in his quest for news down by the salt
water:
small engine, built by the Fowler
& Co. of Leeds, England, was brought
to the ktnau wharf on a dray for ship
ment to Kaunakakai. It has probably
been used as a locomotive on a train
of sugar cars or for a switch engine.
Not being urse, the reporter asked one
OF the boys what was to be done with
the piece of machinery, and was told
1t was to be sent to Kaunakaka; to
the American Sugar Co. This informa-
tion then followed: THAT old engine
has seen some hard knocks in its time.
1t was purchased when s. G. Wilder
was Minister of the Interior, about the
time the marine railway was estab-
lished. 1t was made use of to pull the
cradle, on which the ships were placed.
out OF the water. There was great fun
the first day 1t was tried, as a great
many people thought it would not
work, but the thing pulled and gave a
snort or two and the vessel began to
move up the ways, looking like a
train OF cars behind the little engine.
The ways were found to be little too
steep and were made longer, so the To-
connective would not have such a grade
to mount
Another one of the boys Clipped in
and said; do you remember the
name of the first ship taken up by the
engine? It was the old Glory of the
Seas, and I remember how she was
towed into the harbor by about thirty

particulars of steamer to be built on
the same plans as the torpedo destroy
er Viper, lately built for the English
navy Steam turbine engines will be
used and it is thought that the vessel
will be capable of crossing the Allan
! tic in three days. The following are
the principal dimensions and weights,
according to the plans drawn up:
| Length between perpendiculars, 600
feet; breadth, extreme, 63 feet inches;
depth, nodded, AZ feet; draught of bot
tom of keel, % it.; displacement, $4,000
tons; total bunker capacity, 500 tons;
| boilerroom weights with water in wa
tertube boilers, 1864 tons; engine room
weights with auxiliary gear and water
in condensers, 822 tons; shafting and
propellers, 210 tons; total, 1896 tons
With $4,000 indicated horse power,
the weight of machinery 141 pounds
per indicated horse power. If these
weights be compared with those of the
ocean steamships at present in use it
| will be found that the difference is
vastly in favor of the new vessel.
Therein lies the great advantage of
the new method over the old. Seriat-
I'm, the advantages are.
First-A reduction of total engine
room weight to about one-half that of
Ordinary engines.
Second-A small reduction in steam
consumption per indicated horse pow
er.
Third-Complete freedom from al
vibration from the main engines, and
a great reduction of vibration from the
screw propellers.
Fourth-A smaller engine room stat
to deal with the simpler and lighter
engines and shafting.
F'ifth-Less consumption of oil anC
stores.
1t follows necessarily that weigh
saved in the machinery will allow o
larger boilers With an increases
economy in the use or steam by tn
engines-estimated at from 20 TO 2
; per cent-and the larger boilers,
higher power can be realized at ordi
nary full speeds; and this can be oh
tanned with less forcing of the boiler
and, therefore, better boiler econom!
Naturally, in an emergency a Yer
much greater power and speed may b
realized without straining the machir
cry, while, owing to the lightness {
the engines, they can be made with
larger margin of strength and capa'
ity than is usual with reciprocatin
engines 1t should be noted that whe
the larger boilers are worked to the
full capacity the steam is utilized wit
great degree of efficiency, and
this way the exceptional speeds anti
ipated will be readily obtained.
Another advantage TO the ship pr
PEELED by steam turbine engines is Il
tightening of the hull weights. TT
absence of vibration with the new el
le gines makes it unnecessary to strengt
en- the hull under the engines or ne'
the screws. This is the perfection

Lee Ruble, the pressman Of the

about the late Ottmar Mergenthaler.

"About 10000 an hour" answered
Buble impatiently, anxiousto get rid.

the number of papers run off, and
Ruhle was on. the point Of ''bounc-

walked out Of the pressroom and left
the pressman wondering who he was.
Later, when Ruble came into the
business office he found Che stranger

When the stranger walked out
