Life of Steamship Boilers

The Etrurfa was the last of the really
large ships to be fitted with a single
propeller, and her engine is one Of the
heaviest and largest single engines
ever built, the individual parts being of
great size and weight. Thus the crank
shaft, which is 25 inches in diameter.
weighs 81 tons; the connecting rod 13%
inches in diameter at its center. weighs
just under II tons, and the piston rods.
which are 11A inches in diameter
weigh about four tons apiece. A single
propeller blade weighs six tons, and
the whole propeller complete 81 tons
The engine is compound, with one IL
inch and two 105-ineh cylinders. the
stroke being feet. With the excep-
tion of the crank shaft and the tail
shaft. this engine is in all it's parts
identically the same as when it left the
builders hands in 1885, not even the
brasses having been renewed And
even more remarkable evidence of good
workmanship and careful attention is
shown in the boiler ROOM which con-
tains the same Scotch boilers that were
put in nearly a quarter Of a Century
ago. These boilers have the same tube
plates, 15 per cent of the original tubes.
and, most remarkable of all, the same
corrugated furnaces as when they left
the builders hands. Today this shin
is capable of steaming 1875 knots under
favorable conditions of weather=Phila-

CALENDAR. c. Alameda, Cal. Why is it
that the year in the Jewish calendar is 1868
while the christian has it 1909? Where can

The Jews reckon from the creation

the Christian era. In any first class
encyclopedia you will find under the
head of chronology, calendar time,
etc. much that will enlighten you as
to difference in dates of reckoning.
