6 LAKE AND OUEAN TRAFFIC, DULLNESS ON THE LAKES—VESSELS CON- STRUCTEDFOR TH# COASTING TRADE, Special Correspondence Marine Record. Deraoir, June 16. A resume of the lake and ocean traffic in years gone by takes us up to the year 1864, during which season nineteen vessels were dispatched from the lakes. ‘There was but little deviation in frieghts from former sea- sons, and dullness on the lakes atill ruled supreme, with but little prospect of an ad- vance, Asin two previous seasons, parties came on here from Boston, Mass., and had one or more vessels constructed for the coast- ing trade, the material and cost of building here being much less than on the seaside. The following craft, in their regular order, were respectively sent out, their cargoes be- ing chiefly lumber and staves: 1864, May—Bark Mary Roe, Captain Me- Crae, walnut, Port Stanley. ‘Tug A.

J.W.H. THE MARINE RECORD DIAMETERS OF SCREW PROPEL- LERS. Of all other elements, the efficiency of screw propellers seems to be but little af- fected by relative diameters. ‘hat Is to say: ifaship has a screw ten feet in diameter, cutting off two feet of it seems to have no injurious result as regards its action. In some Cases it has been a positive benefit. A screw steamer was built in England last year to run in shoul water, and its propellers were only 12 (twelve) inches in diameter. ‘The vessel itself was about 100 feet long, but these toy propellers, as they may be called, drove that boat at twelve miles per hour. The screws of torpedo boats are very small in diameter, only 36 inches in some cases, but the boats, as is well-known, are the fastest things that float on water, Navigation on the great lakes is attended with difficulties, for some of the lakes ure shallow, and vessels which trade in and out of local ports have no more water than they need. In some cases their wheels are one- third their diameter out of water. ‘The effi- ciency of such a wheel fs less than one equal to the portion wholly immersed, for it is not in a position .to utilize the power expended on it. It would seem that reducing the diam- eter so that the wheel would be wholly un- der water should give greater efficiency in all respects.— Mechanical Engineer SELF-LUBRICATING BUSHINGS FOR ; TACKLE BLOCKS.

As soon as the heat abates, the flow ceases. but ordinarily it will last the lifetime of the block. ‘These bushings have now been thoroughly tested and in every instance have given complete satiefaction. Parties who have tried other bushings unsuccessfully are requested to write to the Suninactunors and give these bushings a trial.
