The engine illustrated is of thesingle-acting description, with central valve contained in ahollow extension of the piston-rod, which is actuated by anew radial gear. The latter is also a new departure in this. starting engines and 5 reversing engines, with 9 steam cylin-ders, S ash hoists with 10 steam cylinders, 4 ammunitionhoists. 2 deck hoists, 1 steering engine, 1 windlass, 1 shop, 1air and 2 electric light engines with 23 steam cylinders, mak-ing a tolal f SS engines with 100 steam cylinders outside andseparate from the 3 main engines with their 9 cylinders. It takes, of course, a great deal of steam to run these auxil-iary engines. From trial trips of the United States steamshipsPhiladelphia and San Francisco I find that the auxiliary machinery took a little over 3 per cent, of the total , andthat the proportion would give for this ship about 050 they are not all run at the same time ; those running dur-ing tie (itlmithin* trial trip took only about 600 Thisnot include the ships or engine room blowers, no hoistsof any kind, no distilling-room pumps, nor many others, sothat, if they are all working at the same time they
