I was at that time marine superin- tendent of the company, and I had the vessel dry docked and examined 'her The pi in combina huil. She had been built with a thick piate in_liew’of a ‘bar keel in order to save draught of water, and as I looked her egg-shaped and keel- less bottom, which offered no resist- r to rolling, her reputa- i a dangerous roller was to me fully explained Jpon consideration 1 "concluded t the remedy would | be to fit her W of bulbs angle ! at the turn of each bilge, placed iron E angle of 45 degrees from the al and carried forward and £ her midship section for only otal length.

She sailed in the autumn of 1876 for the west coast of Africa, and so remarkable was her steadiness at sea and in the heavy rollers when crossing the bars of-the African rivers that the system of “bilge keels” in cOmbination with a plate keel wes subsequently adopted for steamers of both the African Steamship Company and the British and African Steam Navigation Com- pany, and later on for the great ocean passenger steamers, to the increased comfort of the traveling public, who appreciate a “steady ship.” The purpose and effect of this com- bination was two-fold: (1) By. sub- stituting - a.: plate for the_old-fashion~- 1 that this combination of bilge | Architecture in Liverpool, and re- ferred to in your last issue, 1 may pe: haps venture the opinion that the re- of bilge keels to rolling is ) greater when a vessel is steam- | than when stationary; if so, it that flaboratory experiments keel to counteract no de- original unive gestizmony. £0, the fefn o | Paris plans to obtain 300,000 elec- et | trical horsepcwer by damming the _In reference to i o River Rhone at a point 300 miles ing conduc it the from the city. $1.00 Each Fully Warranted » POULTRY PANACEA INSTANT LOUSE KILLER RCUP REMEDY THE HOUSEHOLD Bulletin Building 74 Franklin Street 3 Auto Delivery Telephone 531-4 id.
