Boyd of the Canadian lock at Sault Ste. Marie will spend most of the winter in Simcoe, Ont. Melrose is the name selected for the lake barge that is being buil by the Montreal Transportation Co. at Kingston. There is now only 6 inches of ice in Mud lake, and this much was made in the last few days. Boats could have navigated Mud lake up to Dec. 20. Mr. H. M. Hanna, owner of the steel steam yacht Comanche, will spend the winter with a party of friends on a cruise to Florida and the West Indies. ee Donald M. McKenzie, superintendent of the "Soo"' locks, sailed from New York on the City of Glasgow for Glasgow on the 2nd inst, with his brother. They will spend about a month in Scotland. Capt. Wm. G. Traverse, fifty-seven years of age, who sailed the steamer Progress for a number of years, died at Los Angeles, Cal., a few days ago. Capt. Traverse had gone to California in search of health, The Mariners' Club is the name of a social organization in Buffalo that is made up of a number of lake captains and their wives. Oneof the first meetings of the winter was held, a few evenings ago, at the home of Capt. James H. Killeran. Officers and directors of the] new Lake Superior & Ishpening Rail- way Co., which is building a road tocarry ore from the Lake Angeline, Lake Superior and other mines near Ishpening to Marquette, are made up almost entirely of officials of the ore mining companies. They are as follows: President, Wm. G. Mather, Cleveland; vice president, James Laughlin, Jr.,Pittsburg; treasurer, Wm. G. Pollock, Cleveland; secretary, James H. Hoyt, Cleveland; general counsel, Geo. W. Hayden, Ishpeming; directors, Wm. G. Mather, J. H. Wade, James H. Hoyt and W. G. Pollock of Cleveland, James Laughlin, Jr., and B. F.

Henderson of Glas- gow for the Emperor of Germany. A large number of important changes among officers of the army engineer corpse were announced by the department a few days ago, but none of the officers stationed on the lakes are affected by the new orders. Sir Edward James Harland, whose death was announced recently, was the moving spirit in the great ship building firm of Belfast. The Wolff interest in the firm of Harland & Wolff was largely the money in- terest of the concern. Commodore Geo. W. Melville's commission as chief engineer in the navy will expire.on the 16th inst. He has held the place during three terms of four years each, and it is now morethan probable that the presi- dent will in a few days again send his name to the senate for confirmation. It is quite generally admitted that congress and the president were right in accepting the ram Katahdin. Chief-engineer Melville of the navy now asks that he be permitted to lengthen the propeller shafts of the Katahdin, with a view to reaching a speed of 17 knots at a cost of not more than $5,000 Senator Brice is endeavoring to have printed in the government printing office 3,000 copies of the proceedings of the first annual conven- tion of the International Deep Wate rways Association, held in Cleveland recently., His plan is to have the books circulated by members of con- gress as a miscellaneous document. He has introduced a resolution with this end in view. AN EXCELLENT LIBRARY FOR A MARINE ENGINEER, CHEAP--KEY TO ENGINEERING; WHAT AN ENGINEER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ELEC- TRICITY; ENGINEERS' CATECHISM.
