Tandy, 31 State street, Boston, to Mr. Ty H. Dougherty of Philadelphia by the George Lawley & Son Corpor- ation. Mr. Richmond, the former owner, gave Bacchante in part payment for a larger boat, which Lawlev & Son are naw building for him. The Bacchante was designed by Fred Lawley and built at the Lawley works in 1900. She is 55 ft. over all, 35 ft. load water line, 18 ft. 6 in. beam and 8 ft. draught. | A ring of wire insertion Asbestos high-pressure packing that was in constant use for six years will be shown by the H. W. Johns-Manville Co., 100 William street, New York, to any- one interested. During its long service, this packing, which was recently removed from the steam end of a Worthington duplex compound pump used in the elevator service of the Woodbridge building, New York, never caused the engineer the slightest trouble. When removed it was in such excellent condition as to permit of further efficient service, nothwithstanding its six years' use. The rod is still perfectly smooth. The packing worked under 125 Ibs. pressure; pump capacity, 3,000,000 gallons every twenty-four hours. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral and one of nature's unique products. It is found in various parts of the world and usually occurs in narrow veins or seams. When treated me- chanically it yields soft, white, delicate and exceedingly- strong fibers, which can be spun, woven and otherwise manufactured into many useful articles. Such is the observation in a cata- logue issued by the H. W. Johns-Manville Co. upon the subject of asbestos. » The catalogue numbers 100 pages and is a pretty © thorough exposition of the uses to which asbestos can be put. The catalogue is carefully indexed, so that any subject can be determined upon at once. Anyone who is interested in this wonderful non-conducting material is advised to write for it. Messrs. J> W. Duntley, J. R. McGinley,:Jos.. Bover, W. ,O. Duntley and J. B. Milliken, a committee representing the direc- tors of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co., have returned to Chi- cago after a visit of inspection to the various plants of the com- pany. In speaking of the trip one of the gentlemen said: "This tour was one of the most pleasant experiences I have had for some time. We visited the air compressor works of the com- pany at Franklin, Pa., first, and were highly pleased with the con- dition of affairs there. The facilities of this factory are taxed to their utmost capacity. From Franklin we visited the works at Cleveland, Detroit and Aurora, Ill., and are very well satisfied with the conditions everywhere. In some instances we found the plants working night. and day forces. We must increase the THE CLEVELAND TRUST COMPANY Surplus $575,000.00 Capital $500,000. 00 AYS four per cent interest on time deposits--two per cent on check ac- counts.

BUILDING A BATTLESHIP. In a recent magazine article Irving M. Scott of the Union Iron Works, San Francisco, writes regarding the building of 2 battleship as follows: "Engines are manufactured; houses are built; a ship is created. Therein lies the joy of her construction. There is nothing so fascinating as to watch the keel of a ship laid, true as a compass, straight as a shaft of light. Her daily progress as her frames are put into place, her inner and outer plates fitted and secured, and her internal arrangements plannéd and com- pleted, is a never-ending pleasure. 'Then comes the placing of her engines and boilers, the alignment of her shafts: and propel. lers, the electric lighting and refrigerating plants, means o. communication between her different parts, steering apparatus with all its various modifications and finally the mounting of her big guns and placing of her secondary batteries. Besides these, there is the storing of her ammunition to be attended to, the electric hoists to be built for the conveyance of powder and shell from their storage places to the guns, system of drainage and ventilation to be perfected, the surgeon's quarters and stores to be made ready for use, and comfortable and healthful quar- ters for the sailors to be planned. . Finally, when in every detail she is in perfect order, when a thousand hammers have struck their last blow and a thousand sturdy arms are at rest, ~ comes the day when we send the creation of our heart and brains out into the great ocean, uncertain ourselves as to what she will do. : "Tt is triumph--triumph more than any man can understand who has not known it, when under the exhaustive requirements of the government she successfully performs every duty re- quired. _ And when finally we are able to turn her over to the government with a record unexcelled, our pride in her is in- creased two-fold. The last, the greatest joy of ship building has been ours in one instance. When the United States asked the best that a ship could do, the Oregon did not fail. She responded readily to the intelligences which set her heart throb- bing and her nerves quivering. She astonished the world in the performance of all her great tasks." Naval Constructor Frank W.
