A Big Dredging Steamer.

Capt. E. O. Patterson, who is at
Charleston, S. c., has just completed
the drawings and specifications for the
largest self-propelling hydraulic dredg-
ing steamer in the world. There are
two ships at work in New York harbor
which are larger, but they do not pro-
pei themselves while at work. These
ships are copies of English dredgers,
and their plans were bought in England
When at work they are hauled over the
ground by anchor chains, anchors being
planted ahead and astern, and the
chains taken to windlasses. The pro-
polling engines of these ships are only
used to carry them to sea with their
load, and to return again to their
work. The ship just designed by Capt
Patterson propels herself while at work
She is to be built of mild steel through
out, and to conform to the highest class
of ships under the american Bureau
of Shipping" The ship is 271 feet
inches long, Al ~ feet beam, and %
feet deep,a and tons 3,01s tons. She is to
have twin screws, with propelling en-
gines 2Ox4Ox3O, 500 horse power each,
and foot propellers. There will be
Scotch boilers, 10 6x12, and built for 1875
lbs. of steam, each boiler having $3.50
feet diam. corrugated furnaces, and Is
feet of crate surface to one boiler,
making total of 5000 horse power for
the boilers. There will be 2-2O feet
dredging pumps with 20 feet suctions
and discharge pipes. The engines to
run these pumps are compound, 16x32x
20, and about 400 horse power each.
There will be a separate condenser, cir
Chatting and air pump for this plant,
and distilling and refrigerating plant,
steam windlass for pinch chain, steam
steering gear and steam capstan. She
will be schooner rugged. There will be
accommodation for 81 men, with baths
and toilets. Tie officers quarters will
be finished in oak; crews quarters in
cypress. Her coal bunkers carry SOC
tons, enough for one weeks work on
the bar. She will be stationed at South
west Pass, Mass. Captain Patterson is
to return to Petersburg, Va, where he
was inspecting the construction of a
1900 ton ship for Charleston, S. c., and
as soon as the new ship is started will
go to look after her. She will be Is
months under construction. This ship
will carry 1000 cubic yards of sand, OF
about 3,400 tons dead weight.

This is My Symphony.

70 live content with small means:
To seek elegance rather than luxury,
Refinement rather than fashion;
To be worthy, not respectable;
Wealthy, not rich;
To study hard, think quietly,
Talk gently, act frankly.
To listen to stars and birds,\
To babes and sages, with open heart
To bear all cheerfully, do all bTavely
Await occasions, hurry never,
In a word, to let the spiritual,
Unhidden and unconscious, grow up
Through the common.
This is to be my Symphony.-Chan
