3 MARINE SHELBY STEEL TUBE CO. AT THE PAN-AMERICAN. One of the most striking as well as one of the most attractive displays at the Pan-American exposition is that of the Shelby Steel Tube Co. The little building is " constructed entirely out of the various kinds of tubes manufactured by the company, an idea of which is very cleverly conveyed in the illustra- tion, CHICAGO-EUROPE . SHIP VENTURE. Both the Northwes- tern and the Northman of the Northwestern Steamship Co. will sail from Chicago again next week for Europe. While no definite infor- mation has been given out regarding the finan- cial result of the. initial trip, officials of the com- pany claim to be satis- fied... Mr... Charles Counselman, the presi- dent of the company, in discussing the route © says: ; "It is most too early to determine what the outcome of this venture will be. We have had many things not to our liking to contend with in our early experience, but it has been clearly demonstrated that a line' of ships can 'be operated between Chicago and Europe with perfect safety and dispatch. The trouble the steamer Northwestern had with the dredge in the St. Lawrence river surely does not figure against the feasibility of the plan, as such a thing could occur in the Chicago river or anywhere on the great lakes. No doubt it will take a long time to establish the fact with insurance companies that there is no more risk in navigating the "Seaboard Steel Castings." MANUFACTURERS. OF A GUARANTEE OF QUALITY.

[July 25," rivers and canals to the seaboard than there is in sailing the lakes. Tj anything prevents the success of the venture it will be the insurance rates, They are now $1.25 per $100 on the cargoes, as against a rate of from 15 to 20 cents from New York to Europe. There is a difference of about $1.40 per ton on high-class provisions from Chicago to Europe compared with the rate charged by the insurance companies from the seaboard to Europe. That in itself would be an excellent profit, and as everything else is rated proportionately high a large part of the profits are eaten up, The companies simply base the excess charge on the risk they assume through the rivers and canals, and with this eliminated the charge should not be more than 50 cents per 100. That would be a fair figure all around, but they do not see it that way, and from the present point of view it doe not appear they are going to." : Mr. W. F. Purdy, general manager of the company, writing to the Review upon this subject says: "The company is well satisfied with the Canadian waterway as it exists, for vessels of the size of our ships. How- ever, before this waterway can be much used it must be deepened to allow the passage of boats drawing 18 ft. or more. This company is well satis- fied that such a project is feasible, and_hopes at an early date to see the. commencement of the building of the Georgian Bay canal, which, in our opinion, will be the route for the deep water canal which is bound to come." The Lidgerwood Manufacturing Co., 96 Liberty street, New York, has received a contract from Russia for a marine cableway for coaling at sea, to be fitted to the battleship Retvizan, now building at the Cramp works, Philadelphia. The railway will be operated by electric motors and the operating winches will be portable so that they can be transported on. decks to positions favorable for working the cableway at sea, as well as a plain hoisting device for taking on coal from a collier alongside in the harbor. So equipped the Retvizan will be able to take coal from a sailing ship towed by it, as well as from a steam collier having it in tow. A particularly useful pump for boiler inspectors, marine engineers and boat owners generally, is that which is made by the Marine Iron Works station A, Chicago, as illustrated on page 41 of their 1901 catalogue, which is sent free on receipt of request. 7 57 Dearborn St., BURNISHINE, |" "we. engines THE MOST MARVELOUS METAL We have shown you time and again in POLISH IN THE WORLD. the advertising pages of the leading en- gineering journals that we are the manu- In Liquid and | cturers of orem Him Grade Packings I I Will Palich for every purpose.
