eSaggeration. "It's perfectly wonder
iui to see the way Cousin Henry

'Never?" said the friend, who knew
Mis. Lombard's weakness and could

knots an hour. And this with new and
stiff machinery, and with a wheel which
does not develop the full power OF the
engine.
On recent trip down river, with
loaded vessel and back light, the tug
made the round trip in one and one half
hours. Monday she went to South Blue
hill for ballast, the wheel not being sui
ficiently deep, and on the return trip
maintained a speed Of little better than
eight knots.
The engine is Of the six-cylinder, four
cycle type, capable of developing ITO horse
power. II is heavily constructed, its total
weight being about five tons, which, with
tanks, shafting, ETC., makes the total
weight installed in the tug between six
and seven tons. This replaces about twen-
ty-hve tons in machinery, boiler, coal,
etc, taken from the tug, and it was neces-
sary to add ballast to get the boat down
in the water. Monday something like ten
tons Of paving blocks were taken in at
South Bluehill, and she can stand still
more.
There is a large saving in space in the
tug, due to the removal OF the boiler. A
large house has been built, foot lower
than the old house, and this gives a
roomy engine room, and better accommo-

MarcOni at the Key.

The asphalted door is covered with a
carpet OF rubber. The walls and ceilings
are in hard wood. Strange instruments
lie in each corner of the room. On plat
form raised yard above the floor is a
table with transmitting key upon it and
large wooden lever also used in trans
hitting. Marconi is on the platform, his
hand grasping the lever.
"Now," he says, "be careful. When l
signal to the electrician $4,000 volts will
enter the room. Stand behind me and
touch nothing. Do not touch those coils
for the current will not wait for you to
touch them; it will leap out upon you"
The signal given, lever is pulled and a
dull noise is heard. The needle of the
voltameter begins to move on the dial and
to attain all sorts of high figures.
"Now," says Marconi, 81 will commu-
nicate with the nearest station" and he
presses the key of the transmitter.
There is a binding blue flash and at
each pressure on the key sparks nearly
two feet in length start from between
the two silvery balls of the induction reel.
One Of these balls is in communication
with the earth and the other with rod.
Each spark represents an impulsion which
is communicated from the battery to the
rod and from this rod the electrician sets
in motion the vibrations of the ether
called Hertzian waves.

dations for the men. The pilot house
remains as before. The carpenter work
on the tug was done at the shipyard OF c.
II. Curtis & Co.
The engine burns about ten gallons of
gasolene an hour, and when the tug is tied
up. the fuel expense bill stops. This in
itself is large saving, and when the
greater simplicity Of a gasolene equip
ment, the saving in boiler repair bills, and
the saving Of one man in the crew are
taken into consideration, the economy OF
gasolene as compared with steam is ap-
parent.
The tug is commanded as before by Capt.
Henry B. Holt, with Harvard Lord as
engineer, and Maynard Murch as deck
hand.
The entire equipment, with the excep-
ton Of reverse gear and wheel, is the
product OF the Ellsworth Foundry & Ma
chine Works, plant which from small
beginning, has been developed, largely
through the mechanical ability, amount
ing almost to genius, of its young mana
ger, B. B. Walker. The able workman
ship OF George NJ. Haynes, foreman at the
works, in building and installing the
engine, is also shown. A plant capable of
turning out work Of this class is one OF
which Ellsworth has just cause for pride.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1907-07-24

A good example OF the capacity OF the
Ellsworth Foundry & Machine Works, and
the high class OF work which it is possible
for this plant to turn out, is shown in the
gasolene engine recently installed in the
tug Little Round Top, OF Ellsworth, re-
placipg steam power. The tug has been
inspected, and given license, and is now
doing business. A cut of the engine
appears above.
When it was announced last fall that
whitcomb, Haynes & Co., owners of the
Little Round Top, were going to substitute
a gssolene engine for steam, there were
skeptical ones, especially among the sea-
iaring men. They had been accustomed
to associate gasolene engines with launches
and pleasure craft, and were not prepared
to accept such an innovation for these
waters as a gasolene tug, gasolene boat
built for business. They said she might

was not one Of the skeptical ones. He

A wALTHAM MILL.


Alvah X. Haslam Building Up a
Hardwood Business.
Up at Waltham Alvah K. Haslam has
the nucleus for large industry in hard
wood manufacturing. Mr.. Haslam's mill
experience and enterprise, backed by suf-
ficient capital, would insure to the town a
large industry. From small beginning.
in the face OF many obstacles, Mr.. Haslam
has already built up a business OF consid-
cradle extent. The business has more
than doubled in two years.
Situated on good water power, near
the lower end Of the town, is the Haslam
mill, now doing business OF from 5000
bowels from So to ! inch in diameter,
back-sets, and peavey stocks, of hardwood,
also laths, shingles and some long lumber,
besides doing considerable job saving.
The mill employs from eight to ten
men, and with this force turns out re-
markable lot OF finished stock. When Mr..
Haslam first began to make bowels, he
was satisfied to find man who could
"point" 4, 900 bowels in a day Of ten hours.
Now he has men in his mill who can point
10000 day.
To the uninitiated it may be well to ex-
plain that the back-sets referred to are
the sticks used by the large meat houses
to hold open lambs, veals, etc. Mr.. Has
lam's largest customers for these are the
"nig four" in the meat business-Swift &
Co., Armour & Co., Schwartzschild &
Sulzberger and Nelson & Morris, all of
Chicago.
