THE MARINE RECORD: . 3 THE FITZGIBBON 8 BOILER. A correspondent of the Syracuse Sunday Herald spexks as follows of a boiler of the Fitzgibbons pattern now under construction in thiseity: There is now building in the boiler shops of the Kingsford iron works a huge boiler, which is destined for use in a new steamer new building at Clayton, which will ply on the St. Lawrence river. ‘lhe boiler is of the new improved Fitzgibbons pattern, and is the largest ever manufactured in Oswego, being eight feet In diameter by sixteen feet in length, and its weight will exceed twenty- six tons. ‘There are to be 142 iron tnbes penetrating the interior, which will give a heating surface of 2,600 square tect. ‘he design, were drawn by W.S. Smith formerly of Utica, now in the employ of ‘I. P. Kings- ford, and the work is progressing under the supervision of Mr. Fitzgibbons, the patentee of the new feature about the boiler, In the last few years nearly a score of these boilers have been in use in the states and in Canada, and Mr, Fitzgibbons claims they have in every instance given entire satisfaction and fully demonstrated their superiority over any of the old patterns in use. Mr. Kinga- ford has now a contract to build another somewhauat smaller boiler for the Hall brothere of Ogdensburg. Mr. Fitzgibbon, the inventor of this boiler is a very ingenious Oswego mechanic. He has invented and put into use many valuable machines and implements. His improve- ments of the-steam boiler are said by those mechanics who have tested them te be of great vaiue and of such a character as will cause them 40 be universally adopted eventu- ally. ‘The city saving bank has had one put into its banking building. It has already been found that it will take only half as much coal to warm the premises as was con- sumed for the. same purpose last year, although, as every one knows, the present winter has been characterized by much more severe weather than last winter. It wasa boiler of the Fitzgibbons pattern which was recently introduced in the city hall for heat- ing purpose and those acquainted with its merits say it will not require halt the fuel to supply it that the old boiler did, and will warm the building a great deal better. In- deed, the fault most hkely to be’ found is that it will keep the premises too warm, un- less care is taken by the engineer to moderate the supply of steam tothe radiators. The improvements made by Mr. Fitzgibbon are just as valuable and equally available in the construction of marine boilers'and these for driving machinery generally, as tor heating purposes.— Oswego Times. A' NOVEL INVENTION. A very novel scheme for establishing a permanent channel in the Mississippi river has been presented to Congress in the shape ot a petition by. the inventor, M. J. Adama, who asks for an appropriation to enable him to. bring his experiment to a succeseful termination. He says he has completed 45,- 000 feet of what is known as Adams’ flume, at a.cost of $9,500. It is thus described: “It ‘is a perforated tube about twelve inches in diameter shaped like the letter V. divided into two chambers, upper and lower, by a partition. The upper holds the water under the necessary pressure the entire length of the tube. ‘I'he lower lies quiescent until the operations commence. ‘The water on the upper chamber is let thrcugh the opening in the partition into the lower chamber and through the jets stirring up the sand, hold- ing it in suspension until the current carries it off to some lost place, where it forms banks like a canal. The number of jets operating: at a time is covered by pressure. Where there is any obstruction it is opened on it likea battery. No sand, gravel, or moderated hardpan can stand near it. To lay. it in one unbroken line In the center of the river from its head tothe Gulf, it will se- cure a channel the necessary depth through- outand keep it open all through. ‘To give the invention an undeniable test would require about three miles, which can be procured from St. Paul down, it being almost checked in summer. ‘The result of the test will give a permanent channel the distance laid, affording a valuable permanent improve- ment at one quarter the ordinary cost.’”’— Inter Ocean. FIRST VESSEL BUILT ON 'THE BAY. In 1801 says the Belleville Intelligencer, Captain Murney, father of the late Hon. E. Murney, of Belleville, who came to Kingston in 1797, and who had acquired some land in the vicinity of the Lake on Mountain, near Picton, conceived the idea ot building a ves- sel at the latter place. He found an abund- ance of red cedar on hig land, and knowing the durability and toughness of this species of wood, determined to test it in the con- struction of his vessel. The result was a handsome cratt, capable of carrying ‘700 arrels of flonr beneath her hatches,’’? which traded on Lake Ontario for many yeurs and “made a small fortune for hersowner.” ‘This pioneer vessel on the upper waters of the bay was named the Prince Edward. Was in gocd condition during the war of 1812 14, and was fora time employed by the Government as an urmed vessel. We have no means of aseertaining how long the Prince Edward was in commission, or when, how or where she ended her areer, but it is probable her services extended over She | ta period of more than twenty years. It is claimed that she was the first vessel to land at the Wellington pier, which was con- structed abeut 1830, Captain Alex. Pollock, cf Port Stanley, hus, on the oceasion of his retiring from gail- ing, received from Mr. Charles J. Hope, the chairman of the Hamilton & Northwestern Transpertation Company, a testimonial expressing the company’s high regard for his services. During the past fifty-four years the captain has sailed the lakes, and for about forty years has been associated with the pvesent H. & N. Transportation Co., and he has ever been found a fearlessly honest man, a noble sailor, a Christian and 48 truthful as the rising sun. Many changes have taken place in lake navigation since Captain Pollock sailed the schooner. Sir Charles Bagot through the Welland: canal. The testimonial is beautifully: engrossed on parechment.—St. Thomas Times, FOR SALE, STEAMBARGE MILWAUKEE, Her length is 135 feet, beam 26 feet, avd hold. 10 feet 10inches.
