(Third-class passen- gers came into expresses generally about 1873.) This has taken place during a long- drawn depression of trade, and is, perhaps, one of the sequele of that depression (cheap materials). 1t brings out, however, the pleas- ant fact that industrial dullness has not demor- alized the excellence of workmanship in those industries essential to a railway. The mileage and speed of express trains in England is so much greater than in the rest of the world that any reflection on the fact must send a glow of satisfaction through every English- man. For what is implied by this superior + mini We quote from the address of Mr. erry Westmacott to the Institute of Me- chanical Engineers, at their meeting in Bel- gium last July, an address entitled ‘ High Speed and High Workmanship : ‘¢ * Mechanical energy increases as the square of the speed, and so it may be said that the mental energy and skill required to carry on work increases also at something like the square of the speed with which the work is performed. The materials used must be far stronger and far finer ; every- thing must be well proportioned and bal- anced ; there must be the most perfect ar- rangement in each structure, and in every rt of a structure, and thus we may say the igher the speed the better the work.’” cr The Livadia. The celebrated yosks Livadia, built by the well-known Scote ares firm, Messrs. John Elder & Co., of G w, some three years ago, is now a coal h in the harbor of Se Russia. The Livadia, as many of our ers will remember, was the steam yacht built for the Czar of Russia in 1880, and never before had there been such an ex- travagant innovation upon naval architect- ure. The vessel was constructed with tiers of deck houses, and the hull was lost in a projecting basement which supported a facade of pillars. ‘‘ To gain an idea of the internal accommodation,” said an English yachting paper at the time of her completion, ‘tis not easy from an external view, which exhibits the broadside of the yacht, with two tiers of deck houses over it. But, besides the hold, the yacht is built with four decks —platform deck, main deck, upper deck and awning deck—crowded with saloons and staterooms, and containing, besides the equipment of a steamer and a palace, novelties which must read like the impossi- bilities of fiction and leave the Livadia un- rivaled. To tread corridors paved with mar- ble and find bulkheads paneled with the most exquisite patterns of tiles hardly lessens the astonishment of discovering that a magnifi- cent marble fountain decorates the Emperor’s saloon, and that baths for the imperial family are hewn out of solid blocks of mar- ble. Nothing will better s the dimen- sions of the yacht than to that coal bunkers, holdirg 200 and 300 tons of cval, are filled by means of a railway connecting with various coal shutes. Among other sur- prises are the engines for the electric lights which illuminate the interior as well as the exterior of the yacht, for the yacht will carry forward a masthead lantern, which is to be an electric light bright enough to get mistaken -in the English Channel for the South Foreland under way. The side lights are electric lanterns, which will display to my vessels an unaccountable brilliancy. hese but suggest some of the wonders of oe Lived Ng on must carry to the borders of the more startling surprises than she has left behind in the Clyde, for it will hardly be doubted that one purpose before the designer of the yacht has been to magnify the awe and mystery with which the credulous Asiatic regards the life and person of the White Czar.” The engines and koilers occupied an im- mense amount of space in the center of the vessel. The central screw and the two quar- ter screws were worked by three separate engines, with separate boilers, and were al- together unconnected, The engines were of 10,500 horse-power. Upon the upper deck ranged an immense house from the stern to within 20 feet of the bow. This deck house was so much narrower than the steamer that a gangway was afforded on both sides be- tween the house and the rail. The after part of this house was occupied by the apart- ments of the Grand Duke Constantine and by staterooms for the officers of the ship and the suite of the imperial family. Staterooms of comfortable dimensions and fitted with elegant furniture surrounded al] the corri- dors and the sides of the vessel. The fore part of the upper deck house was the impe- rial dining saloon, with the sitting-room, boudoir and bedrooms of the Emperor and sg a on each side. The Exapress occu- pi | men.

FITHIAN’S ENGINE was a small but handsome suit of six rooms for the use of the imperial family. This suit was beautifully finished in walnut and satin woods, designed so that the belts of satin wood looked like belts of gilding. The im- perial saloon was Crimean Tartar in -its dec- oration. Under the cornice was a frieze of handsome tiles of Persian character. A mar- gin of Mexican onyx separated this work from a geometrical arrangement of walnut and satinwood. The floor, like most of the saloons, was of polished oak parquetry. The hangings were of Eastern pattern. The sit- ting-rooms and boudoir were of the costume of Louis XVI, in which tapestry panels oc- eupied the spaces between the satinwood pilasters. In theimperial bedchambers baths transformed into beautiful couches were cutout of solid white marble. Gold and color were used in the decoration of the roofs. The corridors which separated the imperial apartments from the rooms of the suite were paved with black, White and red marble. The measurements of the Livadia were 9s follows: Extreme length of the “turbot” (the name given tothe sponsings surround- ing the hull, forming an oval the whole length of the vessel), 230 feet ; extreme breadth of the ‘‘ turbot,” 153 feet. The hull was im- mersed 6 feet, with an increase of draft aft through the keel slanting down to protect the central screw. The area of the yacht’s floor was 14,500 feet. The nine boilers held 400 tons of water. The extreme length of the yacht was 260 feet, with a breadth of 110 feet. The Livadia had a crew of 260 AND GEARING. divides selling prices from the actual cost of |the United States, we shall be wise to look production. e question, therefore, is | upon that market as being almost entirely whether this bare margin will also be swept |lost to our ironmasters.

Of these the chief is ship building, which is acknowledged to be ina | declining condition. Old orders have been, /and are being, worked off without other con- | tracts being secured ; hence the North of England seems certain to lose a source of trade which has latterly absorbed from 80 to 86 per cent. of its entire make of manufac tured iron. It does not follow, of course, that this large business is to fall off entirely and at once, but it appears reasonably cer- tain that much of it is destined to be lost for some time to come. Here, therefore, we have a factor which is bound to have most weighty influences. The North of England |is the largest ironmaking district of the | whole world. With a decrease of, say, 50 | per cent. in the demand for its finished prod- | ucts, its smelters must suffer severely, and, as their pig iron is not sufficiently esteemed | for the better sort of foundry or general In the absence of | uses, it is almost certain that the make of the port side, and upon the same side! lines of busines only a narrow margin! any really radical reduction in the tariff of | pig iron in Cleveland must shortly be greatly curtailed. On the whole, therefore, there seems to be no escape from the conclusion that the make of iron is more than sufficient to supply the demand, and that as a neces- sary sequence to a further falling off in the consumption of the specialty of the principal ironmaking locality—coupled with a general decrease in the production of steel rails—we shall shortly witness a decided restriction of the production. The only way of avoiding this course of procedure lies in the possibility of an early and appreciable augmentation of the demand. Of that most desirable con- tingency, however, it cannot be honestly said that there are any reliable or even hopeful symptoms. The whole world is apparently well supplied with iron and steel, and there are no enterprises in hand or in contenipla- tion likely to give rise to an abnormal con sumption of either metal. It must be con- ceded, therefore, that the outlook is anything but brilliant ; indeed, it would be no ex aggeration to say that the prospect is as de- void of encouraging features as at any time during the past six or seven years. - sm - Fithian’s Engine and Gearing. We recently had occasion to witness an in teresting application of an ingenious multi plying gear invented by Mr. Lemuel S. Fithian, of this city, to the driving of electric light machinery, and which, in view of its many novel features and apparent advan- tages, will unquestionably be of no little in- terest to our readers. Before proceeding to the description of the details of the arrange ment, it is proper to state that the success of Mr. Fithian’s invention depends mainly upon the use of a comparatively small and light fly-wheel, moving, however, with ex- tremely high speed, the momentum thus attained favoring a remarkably steady and smooth motion. The fact that the fly-wheel is of very light weight is perhaps the most striking peculiarity of the invention, the store of power necessary to overcome small temporary resistances being effected by its velocity instead of, as in ordinary cases, by its weight. When we consider the fact that the mechanical effects produced are in the direct ratio of the mass and of the squares of the velocity, it will readily be seen that, say, by doubling the speed we obtain four times the effect, and, likewise, by increasing the speed three times we obtain nine times the effect. It should be remembered, how- ever, in this connection, that, as Mr. Fithian found in his experiments, there is a limit to the velocity to be gained by the size of any special fly-wheel, since if too large the resist ance of the air becomes so great as to counter- balance any further gain. This limit has been determined by the inventor as neariy as possible, and the appliances which he now has in operation are so constructed as to yield the most economical results. Another feature of no little value is the arrangement of cog-wheels of only mod- erately varying diameters to produce a high velocity, unlike, in this respect, the differ ent speed-multiplying gears which have been brought to public notice in past years. Figs. 5 and 6 of our annexed engravings readily explain the mechanical details aud general assemblage of parts, Fig. 5 being a frontand Fig. 6 atop view and longitudinal section. Referring to these, we would say, by way of explanation, that the letter A designates a shaft which is supported in bearings formed in the standards B B, Fig.6. Mounted firmly on the shaft is an internally beveled | cog-wheel, C, which works with a smaller wheel, D, the latter being placed at an anyle, as indicated. It is also arranged independ ently in fixed bearings formed ina horizontal bar, E, which is supported at right angles to the shaft A on the standards fF F, more clearly shown in Fig. 5 This bar is so con structed as to pass around the shaft A, being provided with a bend arranged either above or below it. At the point where the gear wheel D is fixed, its supporting bar, carried by E, is so shaped as to enable the wheel to mesh with C at a proper inclination. G is a large double gear, which may be of equal diameter with the gear C, and is mountd loosely on the shaft A, being provided with an elongated sleeve or hub, by means of gone on until stocks are almost unmanage- | little more than three-fourths of the blast able, and prices lower than for many years furnaces, and without encroaching upon | past.
