ALL BY ELECTRICITY
NEW STEAMER EQUIPPED IN
WONDERFUL MANNER.
Ocean Liner Baltic Will Have on
Board Forty.seven New "Wrinkles."

ing Eggs and Oysters.

The new White Star liner Baltic,
aow being built ON the other side, is
10 be equipped with at least forty
seven new electrical "wrlnkles' fer
her navigation, reducing perils OF the
sea, and for preparing food, says the
New York World. She will make her
first trip next summer.
One OF the novelties is an electr C.
sriddle cake and waffle range. The
automatic egg boilers, like those On
the Oceanic, are designed to cook zoe
eggs at once. a clock arrangement
causing the basket containing the
eggs to hop out of the water at any
half-minute UP to six minutes.
Another novelty is self-dumping
oyster cooker for stews. At the ter
Inination of given time the cooker
! p "rs its savory content into a soup
plate and automatically shuts off the
electricity. There are electric oyster
and toast ranges, coffee urns. self
! feeding tea and chocolate urns, cereal
boilers. ice breakers, butter cutters.
almond and cocoanut graters. ice
cream freezers, flour sifters, bread
mixers, egg beaters, vegetable cookers,
plate warmers, butter cake cooking
boxes. dumping steamers and pastry
cookers. Each of the five electric cof-
fee urns has a capacity OF forty gal
Ions.
In spite of Port Steward William
Dnrbridge's experiments, an electric
broiler for steaks and chops has Il t
been invented. Epicures say that
meat cooked on electrical boilers has
a metallic taste. The Baltic is to have
an electric laundry.
1t is tribute to American ingenl-
ity that this English and Irish built
ship must have nearly all her elec-
trical equipment manufactured in this
country.
One of the most marvellous electri-
cal contrivances is that fo- preventing
collisions. The moment another ship
enters the magnetic field" of the Bal
tic the needle Of the instrument points
toward the vessel that is approaching
mic beats Of an unseen steamers
screws are registered by means of the
del4cate apparatus.
Another safeguard is an electric
contrivance to show if the ships lights
are burning properly.
An electric log fer ascertaining the
speed of the ship and an electric lead
for ascertainng the depth of the water
are also on the list. Another electric
novelty registers all signals. includ-
ing stem syrens. q record that might
prove of great value in trial of q

Rofrigerating chambers are to be
