1901.] MARINE REVIEW. 27 ALLEN INDICATOR GAUGE GLASS. Allen's water level indicator gatige glass, illustrated herewith, is sold by the Contractor's Tool Co., 118 S. Sixth street, Philadelphia, and they show by testimonials, etc., that it is in general use and very highly com- mended. It is made to stand from 600 to 1,000 Ibs. pressure, according to size, and it is not necessary to buy new valves, as the device will fit any 54 or 34 gauge glass fittings that may be on boilers. It is claimed for the Allen gauge glasses that they show the exact amount of water in a boiler under all circumstances. Each contains a glass float colored with a composition that makes it visible in dark places, and it is so con- structed that it stands straight without touching the glass, the top end floating evenly with the surface of the water, thus. showing a white spot at the height of the water in the gauge glass. The peculiar shape and action of the indicator keeps the gauge glass clean. All the glasses are made ex- pressly for the Philadelphia company by one of the old- est and largest firms in Scotland, who use nothing but the most carefully-selected material and skilled work- men in the manufacture of the glasses, enabling them to bear great variation of temperature and preventing them from hanging color. William L. Mars, engineer of machinery and foun- dry department, Sherman S. Jewett & Co., Buffalo, says in a letter of recent date to the Philadelphia company: bm "I am so well pleased with the three indicators that I have had in use since October, 1889, that I now order one for a new boiler, which you will please send by re- turn mail. Since putting in your indicator I have dis- : pensed with the use of a 3-ft. gas burner at each of the water-glasses during the day, making a saving of over 2,000 ft. of gas a month. I also find that the action of the indicator prevents the corroding of the water-glass. I would not be without them for ten times the cost." a7 \ SHIP YARD NOTES. It is reported that George L. Welt of Waldoboro, Me., will build for the Palmers of Boston next summer a six-masted wooden schooner, the largest vessel ever built in Waldoboro. Work on the three-masted schooner under construction in Bowker's yard in Phippsburg, Me., is being delayed on account of the non-arrival of timber from Fryeburg. A five-masted schooner at Deering's yard, Bath, Me., will go overboard in a few days. '* Seaboard Steel Castings." MANUFACTURERS OF A GUARANTEE OF QUALITY. "THE ADMIRAL" ANCHOR.

Sawyer Bros., Millbridge, Me., have the keel of their three-masted schooner laid and the force is employed on the frames, the work of wh'ich is to be hur- ried along. Capt. Warren Sawyer will improve his ship yard at Millbridge this season by adding 100 ft. to his wharf. Material is being collected for the work, which will be commenced as soon as the Frances C. Tunnell receives her finishing touches, which will require two weeks. The old Dominion Steamship Co.'s new steamer, building at the yards of the William R. Trigg Co., Richmond, Va., is nearly ready for launching. This steamer, together with a duplicate building at the yards of the Har- lan & Hollingsworth Co., Wilmington, Del., will make night runs on the James river, carrying both passengers and freight. _ Cobb, Butler & Co., Rockland, Me., have built two vessels at their ship yard during the present season and have just laid the keel for a third one. They have now on the stocks a three-masted schooner of about 450 tons, building for Capt. Saunders of Orland, Me. The schooner Annie, building by Carleton, Norwood & Co., Rock- port, Me., was launched this week. Her dimensions are: Length, 127.8 ft.; breadth, 37 ft.; depth, 13 ft. _A four-masted wooden schooner in Percy & Small's yard, Bath, Me., which is to be launched this week, will be christened Miles M. Merry. C. G. White, Everett, Wash., has just launched a four-masted schooner for John Pedersen of San Francisco. STEEL PROPELLER WHEELS. It is safe to say that the year 1901 will show a larger number of steel propeller wheels having been made up than the total for any two previous years, the Marine Iron Works (Station A, Chicago) alone having more than doubled any previous year's sales on these steel wheels, with three months yet to hear from. The composition being an open hearth homo- geneous steel, is exceedingly tough and ductile. The sizes range from 30 in, diameter up to 5 ft. The higher first cost when compared with the cast iron wheels is very quickly earned, especially where boats are oper- ating at times on somewhat shallow water. 66 e . , INVESTIGATION Sh66l ohips will prove beyond all doubt that Garlock Packings are the best investment for progressive THEIR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE."
