The recommendations lade the following : 7 Fe r the two cruisers of not less than 3000 »r more than 5000 tons displacement, cost- ~. exclusive of armament, not more than s, 190,000, we recommend one twin-screw tected steam cruiser of the following gen- ‘al features: Length between perpendicu- ars, 300 feet; beam, ex- rome, 49 feet; mean load jraft of water, 19 feet; free board, main deck at sje above L. W. L., 13 feet. The speed over the meas- yred mile, under conditions .imilar to those prescribed in the Department’s General Order No. 314, should be 18 knots per hour. The main hattery should consist of two sinch and eight 6-inch preech-loading rifled cannon. The guns should be mounted on the upper deck without protection by armor other than a light shield on the mun, There should be a complete outfit for the White- head torpedo, suitable for six above-water launching tubes. The capacity of the coal-bunkers should be not less than 830 tons, and provi- sons should be carried for »~o men for go days, and ther stores for the usual yeriods, though strictly lim- ited to the actual needs of theservice. The rig should te that of a brig without head-booms, and providing an area of plain sail of about 10,500 square feet. The en- zines and boilers should be designed with special refer- ence to obtaining the max- imum advantage from the use of forced draft, which should enable them to de- velopa collective indicated horsepower of 8500 under trial conditions for four consecutive hours, using the test quality of semi-bitumi- nous coal specially selected for the purpose. The en- gines for actuating each of the twin serews should be of the direct-acting hori- zontal two-cylinder com- pound type, each, with all isa purtenances, contained ih a separate water-tight ompartment, The second vessel of this , size should be precisely sim- ‘ar and subject to the same nditions in all respects asthe preceding, except that ‘tte main battery should nsist of 12 6-inch guns mounted on the open deck cn central-pivot carriages, and so disposed in sponsons and recessed ports that four cubs may fire in a line with ‘se keel at the bow and ‘ern, and except that this ‘essel should have a light ip and forecastle and a ‘ark rig, spreading about ‘09 square feet of plain Sal. For the heavily-armed kundoat of about 1600 tons “isplacement, costing, ex- “usive of armament, not tore than $520,000, we rec- ‘miiend the following as ‘He general features of a ; ‘win-serew vessel : length be tween rpendic- an 230 feet ; Ereedth of aa (extreme), 36 feet : mean load draft of water, 14 me load displacement, 1700 2 ches, The speed ver the measured mile, “er conditions similar to “© prescribed in the De- ‘Tinent General Order No. 14, should be 16 knots per "he main battery should consist | “inch breech-loading rifled guns | on central-pivot carriages, with | aoe steel shields 2 inches thick. ne pubs Should be mounted on sponsons, utioonnn side at the break of the fore- he one . one on each side at the break of sit h = guns on the main deck should he te prolecting sponsons.

After erecting extra pumps the works were cleared of water in November, 1880, and the work was pro- ceeded with until October, 1883, without special difficulty. The level of the rails of the tunnel laid in*1880 was 15 feet, to secure greater safety in passing under the river ; but in these low levels in 1880 the spring which had previously flooded the tunnel was again tapped in much larger volume, and the quantity of water in the tunnel, which had previously risen at the rate of 11,000 gallons per minute, now rose to 27,000 gal- lons per minute. Four extra and very powerful pumping engines were then erected, j 145 ‘ied wipe patt as Durhe TOGO MO T_T TT Y; ues Yyp, Uy Yy descending at the east end is 1 in 100 to the lowest point, and the ascent from there westward is I in 90, as the heaviest loads are by a Guibal fan 4o feet in diameter, which has to be erected.

The first passenger » Providing a plain sail area of about | train passed through it recently. The act authorizing the construction of the tunnel was obtained in 1872, and between that time and 1879 the Great Western Railroad Co. carried on the work themselves, sink- |ing five shafts and driving a considerable length; but in October, 1879, the heading on the Monmouth side of the river tapped a great spring of fresh water which flooded a struction of a single screw | the whole of the workings in 24 hours. Nego- sun vessel, of which thg prin-! tiations were then opened with Mr. T. A. and by closing a door in the heading by | means of a diver the works were only closed for a fortnight, and the great spring has | now been dammed back by means of brick- | work. The total length of the tunnel is 7664 yards, and, with the approaches, the line is 8 miles long, rather more than half— 44 miles—being tunnel. This route will shorten the distance be- tween Cardiff and London by 13 miles. In the deep parts the tunnel is lined with brick- work set in cement 3 feet thick, and as it rises from the lowest point the thickness is gradually reduced to 2 feet 3 inches at both the east and west ends. At the Shoots, the deepest part of the river, there is a covering tothe tunnel of 45 feet, the depth of water here being 55 feet at low water and g1 feet at high water. The covering at the other points varies in depth, the lowest being 30 The gradient feet at the Salmon Pool. ee ee ae Pe ae |higher level, so as to reduce to a minimum | will be reduced to 5000 gallons per minute, ae alge ! i —FPlan Section of Cooper Stove.—Scale, 4% Inch to the Foot.

A few months since the Mining and Scientific Press gave an account of the experiments which were be- ing made by the Central Pacific Railroad Co. with petroleum as fuel on some of their steamboats. At that time they had tried it upon the freight steamer Thorough fare, plying between Oak- land and San Francisco, and on the transfer-boat Solano —the largest ferry-boat in the world—on Carquinez Straits, running between Be- nicia and Port Costa. Since that time they have been able to determine more in detail concerning the results. On the Thoroughfare they saved $7000 in the cost of fuel in the five months they were using oil as compared with the five months of the same season last year when they were burning coal, Besides saving 44 per cent, in actual fuel, they get rid of four firemen, which makes an additional saving of $240 per month. On the Solano there is not so much saving, the cost being lessened but 17 per cent. She makes short trips, and they burn the fuel while she is in the slip to gen- erate necessary steam. The oil costs $1.70 per 40-gallon barrel, or about 4 cents a gallon. It is estimated by the engineer of the big Water Witch, which is also using oil, though a some- what different kind from that used by the rail- road company, that 100 gallons of oil are equal to 1 ton of coal, which latter costs about $7 per ton. The Oakland ferry- boat Piedmont has just been altered so as to use the liquid fuel. She has not yet been put at work under 3 the new system, but will be in a few days. The oil is sprayed under the boiler by a steam jet, and is supplied by suitable tanks. A supply tank is kept on the wharf, so that the oil may be led into the steamer’s tanks. The supply tank is filled from tank cars, so there is no handling. There is no smoke nor soot, and, of course, no ashes. It is stated that in addition to the lower cost of the liquid fuel the services of 16 fire- men will be dispensed with on the Piedmont. The me- chanical alterations to effect the change of system are slight. The other ferry- boats will be changed to burn oil shortly. - eg The Cooper Hot-Blast Stove. The Durham hot-blast stoves, designed by Mr. Edward Cooper, have been in almost continuous use since 1876. The accompany- ing illustrations, reproduced from B. F. Fackenthal’s paper before the American Institute of Mining Engi- neers, show their simple con- struction. They have no combustion chamber under- neath, but small chamber at the end, where the gas enters and is ignited, and passes into, the oven through slots in the partition wall, there being one opening be- tween each two rows of pipes, and between the walls and pipes. The flame is carried into the oven and burns among the pipes. The cold blast enters at the same end with the gas, an arrangement which protects the pipes from being destroyed where the gas is hottest. The gas openings can be kept clean from the outside through small cleaning doors, thus always insuring a uniform dis- tribution of gas, which is not always the case with ovens having a combustion-cham- ber underneath, with openings that cannot be cleaned while the oven is in use.

Selling Agents for CHARCOAL and ANTHRACITE LATEST LEGAL DECISIONS. CRIMINAL LAW — FALSE PRETENSES PUR CHASE OF GOODS. N. went to B. to buy a lot of cattle, and in making the purchase he stated to B. that he was in good financial condition and would be able to pay'when the debt was due. In fact, he was without means when he bought the cattle, and could not pay for them at the time agreed. B. made com plaint and procured an indictment against N. for obtaining goods by false pretenses, and on trial he was convicted and duly sen- tenced. N. carried the case—State rs. Neimeyer—to the Supreme Court of Iowa, where the conviction was affirmed. Judge Adams, in the opinion, said: ‘* The charge of which the defendant complains was as [ol- lows: ‘Inorderto make out the crime here charged, the State must prove these matters : t. That the defendant made to B. the repre sentations or pretenses substantially as charged in the indictment, or some of them. 2. That such representations or pretenses were false and known by the defendant to be false when he made them. 3. That the defendant made such representations with intept by means thereof to induce B, to sell and deliver to him the property described in the indictment.’ The defendant’s position, as we understand it, is that the facts pointed out in the instruction as necessary to be proven by the State would not, if proven, necessarily show a fraudulent intent, because such facts might exist consistently with the intention on the part of the defendant to pay for the cattle, and that if he did intend to puy for them his intent was not fraudu lent. Butin our opinion this position can not be sustained. It is the seller’s right to sell to persons who can meet their obligations at maturity ; and when the buyer acquires the property by reason of statements made by him to the seller respecting his condi- tion, to induce the sale, which statements he knows to be false, he cannot excuse himself by saying that he intended to pay. Good intentions cannot supply the place of ability. It is true, false representations made by the pure shaser do not necessar ily show a fraudu- lent intent. But they do show such intent if they were designed to induce the sale and delivery of the property, and the jury in this case was substantially so charged.” CORPORATIONS—ORGANIZATION AND OPERA- TION IN ANOTHER STATE, A mining company was incorporated by the Legislature of North Carlolina in Febru- ary, 1861, and the first meeting of the cor- poration was held in Baltimore, Md., on March 5, 1861, and they accepted the charter at the same place on the following day, at which time they elected a pres
