IRON TRADE FLouRisHiNe.
Railroads All cramped by Shortage

CLEVELAND. o.. Oct. 24.-The Iron
Trade Review. discussing the market
conditions this week. saws:
The week has brought added strength
TO the situation. Whatever of easier
conditions is to be encountered later on.
there is no foreshadowing of il in actual
events. No revival of export trade is in
sight but home demand is so broad and
so strong that iron and steel manufac-
turers speak confidently of the first half
of 1892. The one overshadowing feature
of the iron trade today in all depart
ments is the unprecedented friction re-
sulting from the failure of the railroads
to nrovide for the freight offered them
1.-The story of ear shortage is so ia
miliar as to lose its force. but the present
congestion is without parallel in the rec
ords of 1899. and with many manufae-
turers and consumers is the uppermost
question beyond any consideration of
prices or production. No relief is in
sighr before the close of the navigation
and coal trades. both of which. like
other lines are seriously handicapped.
The mills that were closed by the
steel strike have made no great Roadway

frihutors' hands. depleted in the weeks
of shutdown. and will pass into the new
year under full Roadway. with prospects
Of operation throughout the winter at

tracts that insures the operation of the

GROWTH OF THE PROPELLER.

The growth of the wonderful speed
of the modern ocean greyhound lies
quite out OF sight II is in the pro-
peller. though few people realize the
fact When the captain of the
Deutschland announced on one of his
late trips that he would try to estab-
fish a transatlantic record within the
five day limit, his thoughts were fixed
upon the screws that drive his noble
ship. The engineers were all study
ing how. through some little change
in their shape or adjustment. TO short
en- up her voyage and beat all records.
Upon that problem they are always at
work.
Fifty years ago the steam propeller
was scarcely known. The world had
put its faith in the side-wheeler. and
all expectations had centered on It.
Experiments with the screw had been
made long before. but they were fail
ures. It was discovered as early as
1886 that experimenters had been fit
ting out the propeller with too many
blades. and that it, therefore, re-
quired much more power to drive it.
with less corresponding speed. After
this defect had been remedied the
propeller increased its popularity, but
still made slow progress. Even in the
early sixties il was in such distrust
that the Cunard line had contract
with the British Government to carry
the mails, but with a clause providing
that they should be forwarded in side
wheel steamers.
In spite of the prejudice against
propellers. however. there were many
then in use on freight boats. and it
was noticed that in heavy seas the
vessels propelled by screw were
faster than the side-wheelers. The
latter lost prestige whenever there
was rough weather. During the win
ter. especially, the propeller was found
to make better time than the regular |
steamers. Then it was admitted that |
the screw was the real sea-going mo-
tive power. Beginning with the Archi
medean screw. which first started the /
idea. the number Of blades has gradu-
ally been lessened to six. four and two.
though the three-bladed propeller is
The enc now in general use.
The power Of the screw. when the
necessary steam is applied. is prac-
.ically unlimited. OF the recent feats
accomplished on American waters
through the use of the propeller. the
most astonishing is that made by the
rOrpedo-boat destroyer Bailey. the
fastest vessel in the United States
Navy. A few weeks ago on her on /
cial trip the Bailey developed the /
speed OF s1.12 knots an
hour. a distance equal to Sc land miles.
or a rate OF speed equal to that Of
many express trains On a short
burst Of speed, as the result of a few
added revolutions OF the churning pro-
pellers. 8 speed at the rate OF 81 miles
an hour was made by this tiny war
rsoE.
The propeller screw Is still in the
ascendant. as shown by the additional
speed that is given to each successive
group OF hattleships. each exceeding /
the record Of It's predecessors, until
the wisconsin has topped everything |
In her class with a speed for two
hours Of IS.e knots.
Thus has the screw propeller devel- |
oped until il now seems destined 10 /
drive the commerce OF the world.
It's early trials were failures. !
