The steel steamer Owego, built for the Union Steamboat Company, of Buffalo, N. Y., under the personal supervision of W. Irving Babcock, of New York (formerly with John Roach & Sons, Chester, Pa.), from designs of George B. Mallory, of New York, is now nearing completion. She is intended for the Chicago trade, and will cost $300,000. The Owego is a three-decked steamship, with hull of steel, propelled by a_ triple- expansion, inverted-vertical, direct -act- ing, jet-condensing, three-cylinder, com- pound engine. On the upper deck are houses for officers and crew, steering- gear, galley, storeroom, messrooms, and ice- houees. Metal inclosures surround the hatches, engines, boilers and companion- ways to the forecastle. At the bow and stern are solid bulwarks of steel, with open rails between. She is rigged as a fore-and- aft schooner, two masts with foresail, main- sail, fore-staysail, main-staysail, and fore topmast staysail. One funnel or smhoke-pipe UA |inders are 28 inches, 42% inches and 72 inches diameter, and 54 inches stroke. These engines are managed from the lower engine-room from the level of the shaft. Steam will be supplied by six boilers, each 11% feet diameter. The fire-room runs fore and aft between the two sets of boilers which face each other ; each boiler has two surface. The boilers have Fox corrugated flues, the first on the lakes. Driving Spikes Under Water. It is often necessary to drive large spikes in water to the depth of 2, 3 and even 4 feet. Starting a spike by hand, and then attempting to drive it by means of a crow- bar, isan unmechanical proceeding, to say the least. According to a correspondent of the Manufacturers’ Gazette, one of the neatest and also the best ways of effect- ing the desired object is | ~ ue : : Fig. 1.—Boiler Furnace with Petroleum Burners. A NEW LIQUID FUEL is located about amidship. A donkey boiler is placed on the upper deck abaft funnel, and fitted to work cargo, winches, steering- gear and pumps. The upper deck is of steel with wood covering. The pilot-house is lo- cated above the captain’s room. The in- | terior of the pilot-house, captain’s offices and messrooms are finished with mahogany, | highly polished. The second or main deck is of steel, un- sheathed, and clear between end bulkheads, excepting machinery inclosures The be- tween decks are 8 feet 6 inches in hight, well lighted with 4o side lights and fitted with five large double hatches and 10 gangways for handling cargo. The lower hold is subdivided by six water-tight | bulkheads, forming four cargo holds, the machinery and boiler spaces and two collision spaces. The forward or collision bulkhead extends to the upper deck, form- ing a forecastle on the main deck, in which is placed the steam windlass. Three of the cargo holds have a third or orlop deck. The ship is fitted with double bottom 3 feet deep, forming a ballast tank of about 800 tons capacity. She is designed to carry 2800 tons of cargo and fuel on 15 feet, 6 inches draft of water, apd with this load to steam 14 knots or 16 miles per hour. The following are her principal dimensions: Length over all, 351 feet; between perpendiculars, 326 feet; depth molded at lowest point, 25 feet 6 inches ; beam molded, 41 feet. The hull is entirely of steel, excepting a few iron parts of the internal inclosurés about engines and boilers, The engines are to work under a boiler pressure of 160 pounds. The cyl- piece of steam pipe of sufficient size to permit the spike to drop easily through it. Place one end of this pipe upon the spot where the spike is to be driven, drop the spike into the pipe, point first, and then fol- | low it with an iron rod large enough to slide easily into the pipe. By using the iron rod as abattering ram, or like a churn drill, the spike can be easily and quickly driven home without spattering the person with mud and water. An improvement on this spike-driv- ing rig may be made by getting a cast-iron ball, of two, four or six pounds weigh}, drilling a hole through the ball sufficient to | receive the iron rod, also drilling another ‘hole to receive a set-screw. By screwing | the set-screw down upon the rod the ball can be held in any desired position. This ball gives extra weight to the driving rod, and, in fact, forms a kind of hammer whereby the spike can be more quickly driven home. It will not work well if you try to drive the spike by means of the rod and a sledge ham- mer. lt is better, by all means, to rig up the ball above mentioned, which will do the work well and quickly. ee Louis Jochum, of Ottweiler, near Saar- bruecken, Germany, is introducing paving | blocks, which he calls iron brick. It is | made by mixing equal parts of finely ground | red argillaceous slate and finely ground clay, and adding 5 percent. of iron ore. This | mixture is moistened with a solution of 25 per cent. sulphate of iron, to which fine iron ore is added until it shows a consistency of 38° Baumé. Itis then formed in a press, dried, dipped once more in a nearly concen- trated solution of sulphate of iron and finely furnaces 39 inches in diameter, grate bars | 6 feet long, making about 240 feet of grate | |case may to get al BURNER AND ATTACHMENTS, ground iron ore, and is baked in an oven for 48 hours in an oxidizing flame, and 24 hours in a reducing flame. The German Govern ment testing laboratory for terials has reported favorably on this brick. —— ——— — A New Liquid Fael Burner. prominently steam is used petroleum, the popular belief being that this is both the cheapest and most convenient method of accomplishing the object. unfortunately been lost sight of to a great extent and with it the attending benefits. An explanation why this should be the be found in the fact that the plan necessitates the use of an air com- pressor of some kind or of afan. The work- ing of these calls for an expenditure of a certain amount of power and entails also the 4.—Tlop \ meiw, Valve Fig. ns vad Wa a Fig. (For Further Details see Page 17 ) MADE BY THE expense of wear and tear incident to the use of such apparatus. However, it is yet to be proved that the combined costs outweigh the advantages of the method. When we con- sider the fact alone that an intimate mixture of the combustible with the air supply 1s an | essential requirement of thorough combus- tion, it is not difficult to understand that the air atomizer should receive special attention. | Wetake pleasure therefore in presenting illustrations of a new burner with attach- ments brought by the Aerated Fuel Company, of Springfield, Mass. The patents which the company control are those of Mr. J. H. Bullard, manager of the company, and they are being applied in a practical way to steam boiler furnaces, iron working and reclaiming furnaces in pulp mills, the work already accomplished being of a most en- couraging character. in this burner, as may have been inferred, is air, a pressure of from six to ten building ma- | We had occasion to remark some time | ago that in nearly all liquid fuel burners | which have thus far been brought forward | to spray the | The | idea of using air as the spraying agent has | Showing Connection, AERAT The spraying medium | | admitted through a pipe nearer the top, as |shown, and causes the oil to rise in the | vertical tube (Fig. 5) and pass along the hor izontal branch. Issuing from the end of this 1t encounters a current of air passing along the outside of the oil tube, and is thoroughly broken up and mixed with it in | passing through the nozzle. It will be noticed that the oil is carried forward both by direct pressure and by induction. By turning the small wheel, shown at the right in Fig. 5, the oil tubes, both horizontal and vertical, may be moved so as to bring the end of the horizontal branch nearer to, or further away from, the nozzle. In the latter case, a greater volume of air is enabled to reach that point and the flow of oil is naturally diminished, and vice versa. A ready means of adjustment of oil and air supply is thus secured, enabling the attendant to control the fire toa nicety. In fact, from what we have seen of the work of the burners under | two boilers in the repair shops of the Boston ‘and Albany Railroad, Steam 2.—Elevation of Air Pressure Governor. ED FUEL COMPANY, SPRINGFIELD, is an absolute prevention of smoke, and no residuum of any kind. The furnaces when we saw them were as clean as though they | had just been swept, though at the time they had been in uninterrupted use for some months. In Fig. 5 the burner is | shown running through a tube fitted in the water leg of a boiler. In practice, however, the nozzle should be 1 inch back from the inside face instead of being flush, as shown. By the arrangement adopted the burner is always kept moderately cool, so much so that the hand can be placed upon it and held there for any length of time. This low temperature prevents the baking on of any products of the oil, and hence there is no , possibility of clogging. Fig. 6 represents | | the nozzle end with the nozzle removed, and shows the spider which supports the oil tube within the outer air pipe. As we have already intimated, a compara- |tively low pressure of air is maintained, pounds having been found to give every | ranging between nine and ten pounds, in the satisfaction. will be readily understood from Fig. 1 on this page, and the details, Figs. 5, 6 and 7, on page 17. Fig. 1 shows a tubular boiler | fitted with the burners, six being used in this case, three on each side of the fur- nace. The burners, it will be observed, issue from an oil and air chamber, of which | @ cross section is given in Fig. 5. This | chamber, or tank, is made of sufficient length to accommodate one or more burn- ers, as may be required, and one end is fitted with a float and valve (Fig. 7, page 17), admitting oil as rapidly as it | is burned, and thus maintaining a uni form level of oil. Compressed air is The construction of the device | case of the Boston and Albany Railroad shop boilers. To keep the pressure within a desired limit, Mr. Bullard has de signed an | ingenious form of regulator, shown in Figs. '2, 3 and 4. It consists essentially of a small | cylinder attached to the air compressor, in this case a Westinghouse pump, and fitted | with a spring-loaded piston, B. The spring may be adjusted by means of the small wheel C, toexert a known aud desired press- | ure. The upper end of the piston-rod is in the | form of a rack, gearing with a toothed sec- | tor, A (Fig. 2), and this sector, as will be understuod from Fig. 4, governs the stem of |acircular steam valve fitted in the steam- |supply pipe. A pipe conveying the com either | at Springfield, there | pressed air enters the lower end of the gov ernor cylinder and when the air pressure exceeds the figure for which ‘the spring is set, the piston B is forced up, and, through its toothed rod, moves the sector A, which in turn closes the steam valve. The com- pressor pump hence stops working until the air pressure has fallen sufficiently to permit the return of the governor piston B to its initial position, which, of course, en- tails the reopening of the circular steam valve. The engravings clearly explain the arrangement. So far as the economy of the system is concerned, as compared with steam atom- izers, a few figures will prove interesting. It is perfectly evident that the steam passing through a steam atomizer is wholly lost, and on board ship the water would have to be replaced either by the use of special distilling apparatus or by sea water. Neither plan of making up for this constant drain on the water supply of a vessel can be regarded very favorably. Experience, moreover, has shown that the consumption of steam in 3.— Vertical Section of Governor, Fig. MASS. such atomizers is appreciable, averaging some- thing like one-tenth or one-twelfth of the total quantity of water evaporated, As against this figure, the atomizer which we illustrate has, according to Mr. Bullard, shown by test an indirect steam consumption in the compressor of not more than 3 per cent., ranging between that figure and about 1 14 per cent. The importance of this point cannot be ignored. It must also be remembered that the use of steam in an atomizer detracts appreciably from the available heating effect of the oil. As to the evaporative power per pound of the oil, which is the crude petro leum from Lima, Ohio, Mr. Bullard claims 15.41 pounds of water from and at 212’. |The best figure obtained with coal in the | same boiler was 10.63 pounds of water. The | temperature of the flue gases when using the oil was found to be from 30° to 35° abpve the | temperature of steam at 65 pounds pressure, | while with coal as fuel it was from 10° to 12 |lower than this temperature.
