. Factory and industrial management. • a Wolverine Motor Boats in the Harbor of Bocas del Toro. MOTIVE POWERS FOR THE MODERN LAUNCH. By E. IV. Roberts. The application of powers other than steam to marine propulsion marks the beginning ofan era of increased use of waterways, which will be not only of great importance to thegeneral economy of transportation and distribution, but of immense ultimate advantage tothe old-established agencies—the steamship and the railway. The general relations of watertransport to traffic interests will be strikingly presented in a succeeding number of theMagazine. Mr. Roberts discusses the mechanical features, at a time when the great motor-boat exposition at Berlin is directing general attention to the importance of this compara-tively new department of marine mechanical development.—The Editors. WHILE the steam engine has been a faithful servitor, and is soat the present, it has many drawbacks for the smaller craftin which the owner is usually his own engineer and helms-man as well.
