28 MARINE REVIEW. [January 3, TRADE NOTES. The Safety Car Heating & Lighting Co. of New York is finding quite a demand for its gas buoys among dredging concerns. Ten or twelve of the buoys are leased to dredging companies that are carrying on large operations on the Atlantic seaboard. A. pamphlet descriptive of the Whitney gravity hot water steam boiler feeder with automatic (self acting) attachment and improved precipitating heater is worthy of attention from vessel owners, as it is adapted to marine boilers. It is manufactured by the University Mnfg. ‘Co., Thomas J. Whitney, treasurer, 45 N. Second street, Philadelphia. The Garlock Packing Co., Palmyra, N. Y., informs us that their busi- ness for the year just closed has been the most successful in the career of the company and with the new year, with increased facilities, they expect to still further extend their business. They have published a hand- one calendar which they will be pleased to send to any engineer writing or it. The Olds ‘Motor Works, Detroit, Mich., reports that the demand for marine motors for pleasure crafts in the south is something unprecedented ' in the history of their concern. They have been shipping numerous orders to Florida and Washington, D. C., for resort trade for the past month and the demand is increasing continually. They also say that inquiries for gasoline marine engines for next spring’s delivery are more numerous than ever before at this season of year. Here’s a catalogue that is more than a catalogue. It contains a treatise. If all manufacturers sent out catalogues that were as inviting in appearance and as readable in contents as the new catalogue on the Webster system of steam circulation for heating purposes, just published by Warren Webster & Co., Camden, N. J.; there would be less complaint on the part of catalogue users that the waste basket is the beginning and end of a customer’s interest in such literature. This new catalogue of this well known firm is a fine piece of bookmaking, with artistic cover page in . green and gold and a natural tint, the inside printed on fine antique stock in two colors, with all the illustrations in genuine photogravure. We do not remember having seen a handsomer piece of printing. The contents, descriptive of the Webster system, as it is known everywhere, is written in a clear, clean, forcible style, with very little that is technical, and reads as easily and is as entertaining as the talk of a clever salesman. Surely the logical way to look at the catalogue question is to say that it is a silent salesman—well dressed, informing, an easy-to-read and easy-to-remember talker.. Such is a good catalogue, and for these and other reasons that will appear readily to the man who reads the book,-this Webster catalogue is a good piece of advertising. Every engineer or architect should have one, for it contains something new and strong on the heating problem. . The Lake Shore. Stone ‘Co. of Milwaukee has purchased from E..G.

The Garlock Packing Co. CREWS FOR THE SUBMARINES. The navy department expects that the six submarine torpedo boats of the Holland type, now under construction, will be finished in April and May. It will then be necessary to man them, and the bureau of naviga~ tion is giving attention to the question of securing competent crews. There appears to be a concurrence of views among the naval officials that men who enlist for service in the navy should not be assigned to such dangerous work as that of operating submarine boats without their con- sent, and the navigation bureau will recommend that special service enlist- ments for these vessels be authorized. A memorandum explaining the necessity of enlisting men especially for the hazardous work is being pre- pared by the navigation bureau and it will be submitted to President McKinley by Secretary Long. The memorandum suggests that these men receive additional pay. The Holland, mow in service, has one officer, three gunner’s mates, one chief electrician and one warrant machinist to run her.
