Heretofore builders of steam engines have relied more upon the power producod by a given quantity of | #'eam acting with direct foree when admitted into | the erifeders, in preference to using the force | of expaunion, as doveloped after the steam ia ietroduced into the cylinder, The “expaasion" theory bas beea discussed often, and rejected repeat~ edly by a large number of engineers, notwithetand- tug (he almost positive practical evidence that en- fines using “cut offs" perform better, and more economically, than those having engines without such 4ppliances, The Mary Powell, for instance, well known to the public asthe fastest steamboat on the North River, ff not in the world, is provided with « “out off which enables her engineer to obtain power without increased expenditure of fuel, a desideratam which steambeat owners apprec! moe than the traveling public. But it is not the use of @ “cut off” that is the ques tion entirely at iseue in the trial between the Winooski and Algonquin, for “cut offs’ are, and have been employed on steam engines from the time of their invention to the present day, and no competent engineer will decide against the value ofa cutoff" asanadiunct to the proper develop- meut of power to eeteam engine, It ls the particu- lar “cut off" used on the Algonquin which excites the opposition of the Chief Engineer of the Navy De- Partinent, who has published two volumes of a work on Bieam Engineering (the first volume of which contradicta the second), wherein he puta forth « theory which will be utterly annihilated if the e gine of the Algonyuia fs proven to be such @ success os Mr. Forbes, the contractor, and Mr. Dicker- son (an owner of the patent * cut off") anticipate, The public are familiar with the differences of opin- jon in regard to the merita of the marine engine constructed by Mr. Forbes, and are aware that t matter ostensibly in dispute isa final payment due the contractor, whose work had been ce d to by the superintendeut employed by the Government, Mr. Isherwood reused te saaction the payment, and thereupon Mr, Forbes demanded a« tilal of bis eucineg uncer the terme of his contract, addiug to such der dachallenge to compete with one of Isher- wouu's marine onrines, by runaing bis vessel as fast, and faster, with lees coal or both vesecis to take on board the same amount of coal and start on a trial trip. Whon the ebips selected by Mr, Isherwood, had exhausted ber fuel Dickerson's veseel was to tow the other boat home again, The impudeuce of this challenge, and the question of steam engineering in- volved, compelled the Secretary to take some potloe of the rejueet of Mr. Torbee for a trial of b st according!» @ beet waa ordered, unde. t vo manifestly unfair, that disinte:eeted parties evuld not fail to perceive that Mr, Isherwood did nog intond to have them accepted by Mr. Dickerson, The two partios were at once arrayed in opposition toeach other, and the question of the merits of two marino engines became merged in one of personal Lostill’y, The Chief Pugineer of the Navy Depart ment bed the “powers that be" aud thecohesive force of officlal patrouage to eustala bun; while Dickerson could only rely upon his own “pluck” and the | merite of his engine, stained) by the opin- | lon of eugineor ut enough to desire « fair Wielof any principle, however it might differ from the dictuma promulgated by the Chief Engi- neerof the Navy Department.
