The steamer, which is built im halves so that it can be taken to pieces for the sake of passing through locks, is 253 feet long 28 feet broad and 11 feet deep. large steam pumps for the filling and the emptying of the vessel. There is also accommodation for pas sengers both on deck and ina saloon and electric lights are used entirely. The steamer will be delivered at St. Petersburg, from whence the transport to Baku takes about She will be taken to pieces on She carries three months. the way in order t> pass a number of canals and locks before reaching the Tjocua river, afterward being put together again and con- tinuing her passage down the Volga and the | board, Caspian sea to her de estination. — = FIXING A SEA-COCK BELOW THE } WATER LINE, Should it be required by any circumstance to fix a new sea-cock to the skin of the ship, ) below the water line, while atsea. The only method would be to use a straightway cock, and proceed as follows: Mark off the bolt holes on the plating from the coek flange; driil them for tapping not quite through; when tapped, attach the cock by studs or set screws. Then with the plug open pass a drill through to the plating, bolt a piece of plate, witb a hole in the center of the same size as the drill, on to the upper flange uf the cock, filling up the intermediate space with a pack- ing of waste soaked in tallow. The hole may then be drilled through the ship’s side, allow— ing the drill to drop through into the sea, closing the cock immediately, the pipe may then be jointed at leisure.—Professor Rankine on the Steam Engine. ——_— The Minneapolis and San Diego, from Es- scanaba, took the first iron ore cargoes of the season into Buffalo. It is expected that about 800,000 tons of ore will be delivered there this season. Last year’s receipts were 298,060 tong. SIGNALLING SHIPS COURSES. The importance of havivg a well-defined and international rule by which the position and movements of vessels are regulated is self-ap- parent. While the red and green lights indi- cate tbe position of another vessel they give no indication whether the said ship is keeping her course or is being steered round to port or star- To give @#his information a plan has been invented and pateated by Mr. Robert Pick- well, of Cardiff. The appliance, which comes from the same gentlemen who invented the ship’s self-regisiering comyass,is attached to the steering wheel or appliance, and is actuated by its movement. Connected with this portion of the arrangement are two white lights, fixed either above or below ike present poct and star- board lights, and a®out four feet distant from them. In front of each of these two lights isa sliding shade having a green aud red glass; and the practical working of the apparatus is as fullows: If the ship be keeping her ¢ourse with an easy helm, then @ captain meeting such vessel would see a white light over or under the port or starboard light, and he would know the fact as well as if he were on board the vessel, If the captain on the approaching vessel saw two red lights one over tle other on his port bow, or two green lights one over the other on his starboard bow, he would know for certain that the vessel was being steered away from his and was every moment giving him a wider berth. This would hold good whether he was on her port or starboard side. On the other hand, if he saw the red and green, one over the other on either the port or starboard bow, he would then know for certain that the vessel was steering right across his course and every momentcoming to closer quarters. The captain on the lookout would also be able to see if the vessel changed her coupse, and that at the moment such change was made by the other vessel, ‘I'he abuve being the case, the common sin ple role of the road with vessels fitted with the aboye invention would be: A colored and white light, versel keeping “straight course.” Two lights of same color (red or green)-"safe.’ Two lights of different color (red and green)— “Danger,” The tug McArthur and considerable other property belonging to the Collins Bay Raft- ing Company was burned at Kingston last Friday morning.
