Exhaust steam is led to a surface con denser. An ordinary pump takes the water from the condenser forces it into the upper set of boiler tubes through the boiler to a separator located in front of the boiler and to which the steam pipe is connected. The boiler will work safely with 160 pounds of steam but in the race with the Mary Powell it was only found necessary to use from 120 to 125 pounds. The fire box is 6% feet
reshoff type it varies greatly in construction the tubes being arranged horizontally in sets immediately over the fire--each set being at right angles to those just above it. Exhaust steam is led to a surface con denser. An ordinary pump takes the water from the condenser forces it into the upper set of boiler tubes through the boiler to a separator located in front of the boiler and to which the steam pipe is connected. The boiler will work safely with 160 pounds of steam but in the race with the Mary Powell it was only found necessary to use from 120 to 125 pounds. The fire box is 6% feet square. The screw is four-bladed 4 feet in diameter and 6% feet pitch. At the stern the boat draws 4% feet and at the bow 3 feet. We may notice that there are now building at the yards of Yarrow & Co. England two torpedo boats which are expected to run when light at the rate of 24 knots an hour or nearly 28 miles. The Stiletto must do better than 25 miles an hour before she can claim the broad title of the fastest boat in the world in our issue of next week we will illustrate and describe in detail the construction of the boiler and en gine and the method of forcing the circulation. THE ENGLISH CUTTER GENESTA. The greatest sporting event on the water this year will be the international yacht race for the America's cup held under the auspices of the New York Yacht Club. Great interest is being manifested by the yachtsmen and others throughout the whole country in the coming contest while the patriotic pride of many wealthy men in the race has been aroused to such a pitch that they have ordered several new and costly yachts to be built for the protection of the cup. Even General Butler has dropped politics (and law) long enough to say that he wants to enter the ancient America in the race.
