MARINE REVIEW. , 1é THE 194,000,000-CANDLE POWER SEARCH LIGHT, The General Electric Company claims to have made the largest projector or search light in the world, the Schuyler Elec- tric Company, Middletown, Conn., makes the same claim, and both claim 375,000,000 candle power, while the projector manufac- tured by Schuckert & Co., Nuremberg, Germany, and located on top of the manufactures building has a mirror and lense of the some size as the others, 5 feet diameter, and yet claims for only 194,000,000 candle power are made for it. In point of modest claims it is certainly the greatest search-light in the world. It is claimed that the light from it may be seen at Mil- waukee, 85 miles away. Its location gives it an elevation of 230 feet, and mounted it stands 8% feet above the platform. Six months were required for grinding the parobolic mirror. 'The arc itself is 47,000 candle power strong, or equal to about 3,000 their possibilities in naval warfare are great. When the light from the Schuckert projector is thrown on MacMonnies' foun- tain a dazzling seene is produced that brings forth many excla- mations, but one night recently the light was directed against a large American flag that was waving in the breeze. It seemed to transfer the bars into streams of red and white light and the stars into their real counterparts, making an effect that baffles description, but those fortunate enough to see it will never forget it. WHITE STAR AND CUNARD LINE EXHIBITS. Next to the International the White Star exhibit is the most attractive of any of the Atlantic passenger lines. It con- sists of a circular building having a rail and netting around the upper and lower deck. Cork life preserver rings, on which are the names of the different boats of their fleet are hung on THE 194,000,000-CANDLE POWER SEARCH LIGHT. ordinary incandescent lamps, and the mirror magnifies this to 194,000,000 candle power. From the illustration, furnished by the Western Electrician of Chicago, an idea of its size may be had. The illustration also shows a good birds-eye view of the central portion of the grounds, the horticultural building appearing most plainly, while away in the distance is the Ferris wheel, the inventor of which claims he will make Chicago a seaport in a few years. 'To the left at the bottom of the frame may be seen a glimpse of the transportation building. There are a number of search lights on lake steamers, the Virginia, Christopher Columbus and the Sam]. Mitchell being fitted. The one on the Saml, Mitchell is fixed at the stern and is used when She is coming down the river at Cleveland from her dock, stern first. 'The new Northern passenger steamers will also be fitted With them. While their use in the merchant service is limited the netting. The half of the building that represents the ship's side is fitted with dead lights instead of windows. Smoking and dining rooms similar to those on the Teutonic and Majestic, only much smaller, are represented. 'Two staterooms are shown and the curious can see just what accommodations the rich man has when he crosses to Europe. A red and a green light mark the entrance so that any seafaring man can steer for it with cer- tainty. The main interior is occupied with models, among them being the Oceanic built in 1870, the Teutonic and the Bovic. Those who have lost interest in marine since engines and pro- pellers have distanced canvas will examine the model of the sailing ship California. She is 318 feet long, 45 feet beam and 26% feet deep. She is stillin service. Her rigging consists of double top-sails, top-gallant and royals on the fore, main and mizzen, the jigger having the ordinary canvas. 'Those having
