THE QUESTIONS ON 'THE STEAM ENGINE Where is the velocity of the slide valve} greatest ? The slide valve hus its greatest velocity at! the middle of its travel. } What must be the maximum bridge width ? ‘The least admissable bridge width is half the travel, less the sum of the steam-por width and the outside lap. Thus, port width 1 inch; outside lap 34 inch; travel 5 inches, ‘Then the bridge musi be more than 2'4¢—3(/—1=34 inch. What is the effect of small laps where the eonnecting rod is comparatively short? | The effect of small laps where the con- necting rod is comparatively short, is to eause unfavorable distribution of steam. What practical rule may be laid down for slide-valve adjustment? ‘The lead should always be made the same on both sides, What is the link motion most generally used for locomotives ? Locomotives generally have the Stevenson | Tink motion. What is the link motion? ‘The Stevenson link motion has a curved shot, the radius of which is che length of the eccentric rod, and the link itself is raised and lowered. : What is the Gooch link motion ? The Gooch link motion has the slotted link fixed and sliding block adjustable in height to change the valve travel. What is the peculiarity of the Gooch mo- tion? The Gooch mouion gives the same lead for all grades of expansion. i What is the radius of the slot in the Gooch motion ? In the Gooch motion the slot in the link must be curved to a radius equal to the length of the radius bar. What is the special feature of the Allen link? : The Allen. link has a straight slot, and it and the radius rod are raised and lowered simultaneously. * ? What is the most simple link motion ? The most simple link motion is that of Fink (1857) ffi which a curved link is at- tached to the eccentric and the block is ad- justed in this slot. What is the objection to the Fink link mo- tion? The objection to the Fink link motion is that the angularity of the 2onnecting rod has its unfavorable influence when the crank is furthest from the dead points, and :the steam. distribution most eftective.—Mechan- teal Engineer. At the Union Drydock Company’s yard a ‘keel is being laid for,a large steamship to be built for F. L,. Danforth and others, of Buf- talo. ‘The dimensions will be: Length of keel, 259 feet; over all, 270 feet; beam, 37 feet; hold, 23 feet. ‘The engines and boilers will be somewhat larger than those of the Clyde. ‘The new vessel is to be completed by the opening of navigation next year, — A TRUTHFUL SIMILE. We daily speak of vice as “a monster of so frightful mein, as to be hated needs but to be seen,” yet we disregard physical affliction whose “trightfal mein” appears even worse than vice, and invite its presenee among us, until ‘“‘yet seen too oft, familiar vith her face, we first endure, then pity, then em- brace.”? ‘Thus it is with itching piles. An utter disregard of the plainest laws of health provokes the affliction, causing intolerable itching when in bed, and unless you apply Swayne’s Ointment it must continue, The Neversink Cork Jacket Twenty per cent. more buoyancy than any other Life-Preserver in the market.
