HIGH PRAISE FOR
GREATFREIGHTER

! On her maiden voyage to Pacific
Coast ports from Liverpool, the Blue
Funnel liner Ixion. greatest of all
freighters that ever headed In this d.
rection, with the exception of the Hill
liner Minnesota, steamed into Victo-
ria recently.
The huge freight steamship, as she
came alongside, dwarfed everything
within the shadow Of her bulwarks
and her graceful lines created fav-
orable impression among the large
number of shipping men who greeted
the liner upon her arrival, says the
News-Advertiser
Captain Reipenhasen, who formerly
commanded the Holt steamer Ming
Chow, is proud of his command,
which he considers to be the finest
deep sea bottom that ever sailed out
of the Mersey. The Ixion has an
enormous carrying capacity, being
capable Of handling $4,000 tons OF
cargo. She is fitted with stump
masts and is of similar construction.
although larger than the steamship
Talthybius. The only bad weather
encountered by the Ixion was struck
When a few days out from Yokohama,
which thoroughly tested the liners
seagoing qualities.
She is SIS feet in length, So feet
beam and 14.6 feet draft. There Is
accommodation for twenty frst-class
passengers on the bridge deck for.
ward and large steerage accommoda-
ton abaft amidships. Included in the
liners huge cargo of $4,000 tons are
1900 tons for Seattle, 1900 tons for
Tacoma and 5000 tons for British
Columbia ports, the majority Of this
5000 tons being for Vancouver She
has 225 Oriental passengers for dis
embarkation at Seattle.
The Ixion was two months and sew
enteen days in making the passage
from Liverpool, leaving the latter
port four days late.

The failure OF the OIL supplies Of the

SHIPS ARE NOT
FORTHCOMING

The shipbuilding boom which was
expected in this country, in prepare
ton of the opening of the Panama
canal, is not materializing, notwith-
standing the glowing accounts given
by the boiler-plate press" observes
, Shipping Illustrated" the leading
u. s. shipping medium. The atti
tude Of the great Atlantic coast yards
is regarded, in shipowning circles, as
an obstruction to the program of new
construction into which owners were
willing to enter. The great Atlantic
yards are being kept fairly busy on
government work and boats Of special
ty pc, intended for industrial interests
not trading as comlnon carriers.
Therefore, the individual owner who
approaches the leading shipbuilderS
with proposals for new construction is
literally held up for the last cent
which can be wrung out of him, il In.
dicatiOns point out that the ship is to
be built at all. t*. f. ~ -.
I General inquiries result in esti-
mates being given which, at first
sight, look discouragikg, and formal
tenders, even when they do show
shading from the original price, dem
onstrate but too conclusively the per-
feet harmony that exists among GER
tain coast shipbuilders as to price Of
new tonnage and apportionment of
new work The Great Lakes ship
yards which do not bid on naval work,
appear to afford the only tempering
factor to the greed of the coast build
ers. But when dealing with lengths
OF boats which cannot oe transferred
whole from the lakes to the coast, the
placing of contract at price allow
ing of a reasonable return upon the
investment, entails lengthy negotia-
tons altogether out of proportion to
the importance of the work to be
done This explains why no owner
ever thinks of placing an order in
this country. except for ships intend
ed for the domestic trade which the
law reserves to ships built in Ameri-
can yards, and no relief can be ex-
peeted until this monstrcus monopoly
is made to relax its grip upon. domes-
tic transportation interests"

lay PLANS FOR
GREATER SPEED

Highly interesting aud promising re-
suits have been recently obtained by
research in that much-neglected field
embracing the theory and practice OF
screw propulsion. For years 1t has
been agreed that the screw propeller.
whether operating in the air or in
water, has been giving nothing like
the results that are desired and are
theoretically .obtainable. Il.
Alterations In pitch and curve, in
the size Of the propeller blades, and
in the number working on the same
plane have all failed to solve the
problem. Several engineers have
suggested that greater propulsive eff
ficieney. might be obtained from
stated power by the use of multiple
blades rigidly fixed in line on the
shaft. In practice these theories have
repeatedly failed 1t would, however.
appear that the theory was not at
fault and that a much higher eff.
cheney can be obtained from a stated
initial power by the use of multiple
blades than has hitherton been the
case Everything depends upon the
blades being so arranged as to avoid
interference with the passage OF the
fluid between their surfaces.
Probably the most successful re-
suits yet obtained with the screw-pro-
peller in air are those recently re-
sured at Woolwich by Mr.. Pitter. He
has arranged multiple blades in such
manner, according to curve and
pitch, that the channel between them
is of absolutely uniform section. This
6ispenses with the air compression
between the blades that has hitherto
largely contributed to the failure of.
multiple-blade practice. Not only is
a higher thrust obtainable, power for
power, upon the air, but the current
thus established has q greater radius
Of action than others set up by fans
of similar size. This is due to the
absence of interference among the
particles, each molecule receiving the
same initial velocity. In the applica-
ton Of Mr.. Pitter's principle to ven-
tilating work fans are stated to have
been produced showing an efficiency
of 100 per cent. over the single-bladeI
fan. The inventor claims to have ex-
hausted, under free inlet and outlet
conditions, no less than 800 cubic
feet per minute with an 18-in. fan and
100 watts power.
The success of the multiblade prin-
ciple for ventiiating purposes, coupled
with further systematic research,
leads Mr.. Pitter to believe that this
principle offers marked advantages to
the aviator and the sea captain. BY
using two multiple blades, instead of
the three single blades now in
common practice, Mr.. Pitter expects
to- avoid slip and produce consider
able economies in ship propulsion. In
its application to aviation the Pitter
principle promises to give ali the nee
essary thrust with big reduction in
engine power, andSto brins we'll with
in the region of possibility the hell
copter, or flying-machine, that will
rise from the ground and hover over
a desired spot. Some very interesting
statistics of the efficiency of Pitter's
multiblade propellers are available
for sceptics.

SEE WATERSPOUT
FROM STEAMER

PORTLAND, April 1.-whIrlIng
along over the sea 30 miles an hour
a huge waterspout fully mile high
passed within Is miles Of the steam
er Rose City at q. m. yesterday, and
went ashore In the vicinity OF Cape
Mears- A cioudburst In the Coast
Range of mountains Is supposed To-
have resulted.
First Officer Dexter was on watch.
When he first saw the great column
Of water he says heavy bank Of
clouds was hanging above the hori-
zon. Higher up in the sky was the
main body OF the waterspout, the
lower part dragging below the clouds.
The lower section whipped around,
forming an angle, and IN appearance
IL is described as resembling the
devils tail
Apparently the spout had started
somewhere near Grays Harbor, trav-
cling from the northeast. passing
over the Columbia River Iightvessel
and sweeping on toward Cape Mears.
The Rose City was some distance out
at sea, the spout going between her
and the shore.
Dexter says that . WarefBp0uL 50
far north Is most unusual phenom-
enon. He was so surprised that he
called the captain to the deck to look
at it. From to o'clock, he states,
the weather conditions were most PEI
culiar and irregular The steamer ar
rived at Ainsworth dock at $3.50 last
night. She brought 275 passengers
and 1900 tons Of freight.
Following the sailing Of the Rose
City the steamers OF the Big Three
fleet will be placed on their regular
summer schedules. leaving this end
of the line at in the morning, CIV
ing the passengers the benefit OF a
daylight trip down the Columbia riv-
er. The Kansas City, leaving April

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES

Officials of the naval bureau Of con-
struction and repair are engaged in
making designs for the new vessels
authorized in the recent naval appro-
priation act The program includes
one battleship, six torpedo boat de-
stroyers, four submarines, one trans
port and one supply ship.
The battleship will be practically
the same as the Pennsylvania, the
contract for which was awarded re-
Gently to the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing Company OF Newport News, Va.
There may be some difference in the
armor distribution and the type OF en-
CINE has not been decided.
The destroyers and submarines will
he practically the same design as
those for which contracts were re-
Gently awarded. The transport will
be the first vessel of that type con-
structed solely for the use OF the
navy It will be used primarily for
the transportation OF marine expedi-
tionary forces. The transports now in
use are converted merchant vessels
The new vessel will be arranged to
carry 1DUD Objects anu Uleil. ...
Special attention will be given to

in REALITY
A CROSSROADS

Honolulu harbor will assume all APP
pearances Of being crossroads port
during the present week, with the
prospective arrival or departure of at
least dozen large trans-Pacific
freight and passenger carriers. Today,
the big British tramp freighter Frank
mount, with approximately 1000 tons
coal from the east coast Of the United
States is due to arrive. This vessel
halls from Norfolk, Va and is now
fIfty-four days from the Atlantic coal
port. The fuel is consigned to the
United States navy department.
Tuesday should witness the arrival
OF the Matson Navigation freighter
Hyades from San Francisco by the
way of Seattle, with three thousand
tons general cargo for discharge at
this port. The Hyades also carries
freight for various island ports. The
Matson Navigation steamer Honolulan
with 200 tons freight for Honolulu and
cargo for Kahului, Port Allen and Ka.
anapah, besides II cabin passengers.
is expected to reach the port early
Tuesday morning.
Two Canadian-Australasia liners
ere due here ON Wednesday. The Ma
kura from Sydney by the way of Auck-
land and SuVa with Australian cargo
and few passengers, and the Me-
rama, from Vancouver and Victoria
are both expected to berth at Alakea
wharf during the day.
At the local office of the American
hawaiian line the freighter Alaskan,
0olf 1ry - Tor,
Francisco and Sound ports, Is predict
ed will arrive here on Thursday, bring
ing several thousand tons general
cargo and building material The
Nippon Maru, from the orient, is due
on the same day.
A wireless received at the agency
of Castle & Cooke is to the effect that
the Japanese liner Chiyo Maru should
reach here from San Francisco.
Should the vessel require no fuel oil,
it will probably be berthed at Alakea
wharf.
HOnOlulan Carries Many Autos
Thirteen autos are included in the
1000 tons general cargo now en- route
to this city from San Francisco in the
Matson Navigation steamer Honolu-
Ian, due to arrive here early Tuesday
morning. A wireless received from
Captain Bennett today indicates that
the liner is bringing II passengers,
2S5 sacks mail, 70 packages express
matter, 1S autos and 1000 tons general
cargo. The vessel is scheduled to call
at Kahului to discharge 252 tons
freight. Cargo including ZIG tons for
Port Allen and 43 tons for Kaanapali
will be transhipped to other vessels.
Cape Finnisterre Away Wednesday
The last of six thousand tons coal
is being discharged from the British
steamship Cape Finisterre and that
vessel it is believed will be ready for
dispatch to the Pacific coast on We'd
nesday. The Cape Finisterre brought
fllel from Newcastle.
