STEAM VS. STEAM. It Is not unlikely that nmrlno business Is hampered !n no small degree by tho failure' of mnnklnd to keep up with his surioiind- lng». Wo aro naturally slow, but progress, American progrosp,Isiapld. Inconsequence those v> ho do not kcop up get left.' This sounds like a truism, but It Is well enough somo times to take up and oxainlno what apponr to bo'vety common facts. Men doing business ou our lakes to day do not neod to bo gray to romombor tho timo when sails woro proportionately the only tnotho power, and when the screw wsb entirely unknown. Wo know that thoso conditions aro transposed now. The screw hasturncd the Ball Into u helper or mi Incidental posses¬ sion, •Tho quostlon Is have inon turned with tho change. It has not taken a genorntlou to ntlcct this transposition. To a largo extent the samo men aro in the field now who wbro Jhere. Now It U our Impression that our business men. Instead ol lacing this condition of things squarely, have only turned half Way, unci are lighting tho pro¬ blems ol lake transportation, according to an nlil snylng, an a hog goeB to \yar. The rail mad and telegraph have aided lncotifus- in unities. It Is not long ago that the reall, oi personal Intercourse were pretty miKlitlu' only means of securing cargoes, and weeks rolled around between trips while the parties to the contracts" were making up t licit minds. Now all is dispatuh and oeloi Ity, and hours aro scarcely given when dajH weiu/COnBumed before. Men change to some extent, it Is true, but we must all admil that It is a volatile Inan Who accom¬ modates himself to the ramification in¬ troduced bj the telegraphic method of doing business. Wo are none too quick, neither, In perceiving the effects of transferring of tonnage from small Into larger craft. There can be no doubt that thesertwo causes aloue ha\ e done more toward revolutionizing the cat tying trade than even that accomplished by the propeller screv/. They bilng us to a patilal apprehension of the Impending battle between steam on land and steam on the water. If it is not already ur>on us It must come. Far-seeing men are doubtleis convlnccd-that In many Important respects tho water his the advantage. They see that the land forces are' better orgttnlzud and perhaps better led but this will only make the war more acflvo. In such an evQtit It IB the man of tho hour—those who keep abieast, or a little in advance of the times— who will step lu and slezo success. COMPOUND* ENGINES. There Is now being built at the Globe Iron Works, Cleveland, a compound engine, with a high pressure cylinder twenty-seven Inches in diameter low pressure fifty inches in diameter, with n thlrtj-six Inch stroke, and a Btcam reversing engine.- The boiler is of Otis steel, ten feet four Indies in di¬ ameter, sixteen feet long, tho shejl being of live-eighths plate, to stand a test ol one hundred and slxty^two pounds to tho square | inch In accordance with the Cacadian In¬ spection laws. Tho shell scams aro treble" rivited, with Inside and outside butt straps. All the holes In this boiler are drilled sep¬ arately and then riveted the plates together, a mode, the importance of which vessel own¬ ers can see at a glance, preventing tho drill burrs from forcing and keeping tho seve.a1 , sheets or plates apart (or tho insinuation ol | Lorrodlng rust and sand, as Invariably oc- cuis to fie ordinary bnllt boilers Tills engine and boiler are to be placed lu the steamer Calvin, now being built by Cal¬ vin & Son, at Garden Island. The Calvin will be lu Cleiehvnd to reoelvo ho- outfit in tho course ot a month or six weeks. This Is an enterprise ol the Globe lion Works which will Induce other Canadian parties to | como to Cleveland for this shipbuilding. Compound engines havo also been placed In tho steamers Superior and Chamborinln, Captain Bradley, and have greatly econo¬ mized Itrtho consumption of fuel, as/before being compounded It usually required the consumption of atout ono hundred and ninety tons of good quality of coal to enable 1 either of them to make the trip from Cleve¬ land to Dututh, the same trip now requiring the consumption ,of only one hundred and thirty tons of a vory poor grado of coal an item worth looking after. These compound engines were built by1 tho Globe Iron Works and placed In the steamers this spring. S.E4 SICKNESS. I Tho lakes havo as many terrors for soa- Blck people as salt water. A fdw facts gleaned from an arttclq on tho subjoot by Ropert W. Lovatt, In tho Popular Science Monthly Will tlioreforo bo of interest.' Ho says the rtWt-ncoeptiiblo theory of to-day plncoB tho origin of the trouble In the inner oar. He doacilbos this organ only bo far as Is necosBary to understand this theory. Tito Inner oar Is a membranous bag il|led with fluid and situated In tho solid bono. From tho hiiok part of this bag run out throe semi¬ circular tubes, communicating at both their ends with tho bag. These run in threo dif¬ ferent planes and are lined with halr-llko nerve filaments, which aro much tn ire abund. ant and more potialthoat tho anterior part of the tubes. Tho tubes aro filled with li¬ quid, In which float little calcareous partlolesL the otoliths. These tubes ate known as tho somlchcular canals. Sometime ago it « as noticed that Injury to tlieso canals Im paired the sense of hearing In no way, but caused most cut Ions effects In the loss of equilibrium. The researches oonoboratlng theso facts are of no ubo here, but what is eBpoclullypprtlnont Ib, that Irritation or In¬ jury to these canals results almost invaria¬ bly In vomiting. Tho mechanical explana¬ tion of u liy irregular motion should cause Irritation of these canals, scorns simple. By I the pitching movements of the ship, which mo by far the worst, the head is carried backward and forward through u long arc. I At the end of the tlescont the head stops, but t>y its' Inertia the fluid in the canals rushes cm and washes the otoliths up against the nerve filaments at the front of the canals. TliCBO'uru extremely sensitive, and the repe¬ tition ot this process serves to produce an excessive irritation, which Is expressed by giddiness and vomiting. Why such gradual motions should cause sea-slokuess, while munb more violent ones, such as horseback riding, do not, can only bo explained by say¬ ing that In the more violent ones tho Indi¬ vidual has a stimulus to adapt hit positions to the motion, which he has not In the often .Unnoticed pitching of a ship. At any rate i this theory explains why lying down should afford relief, as the otoliths then rest at the back and less sensitive part of the canals; and it also explains why riding backward should cause nausea and giddiness, as here, of course, the otoliths drag behind and trrl tate tho anterior parts of the canals. Moreover, In some recent Inquiries ad dressed to dent mutes upon another subject, the fact was noticed that all who were Insus¬ ceptible to dl/zmess on account of the hu- I palrment or their semicircular canals by dis¬ ease, reported themselves also exempt from sea-sickness. But the semicircular canals must not recolvo all the credit. The vlsceui of tho abdomen are very full of blood, and are Irritated In sea-sickness, and this condi¬ tion will cause vomiting, as bIiqu n by many experlmcntson animals. The intestines aro attached loosely to the backbone by a fold of I meinbianecontaining man) huge blood ves¬ sels. Orditiniily clip Intestines are held up and euppoited In place by the muscle of the abdomen, and consequently do not drag too heavily on thcti attachment. But in sea¬ sickness, it is said, either ou account of con- fund Bensatlona sent to them ftoiu-tjio trrl- I tated semi clrouliu canals, oi because of the | novelty and uncertainty of the motions of the ship, those muscles arc unable to con¬ tract or relax at tho propel time, thus af¬ fording but pom support tn the intestines Consequent ly b\ their'Inertia tho Intestines bulge lot watd at U>3 end of each descent of thcBhlp, theiebv stretching and Irritating thelt attachment, hr.d eventually the ab¬ dominal blood-vessels aro engaged, with [blood, and this condition Is expressed by vomiting, which Is merely nature's effort to equalise the circulation. There is probably atnluor kind of sea-sickness, caused-by the menu churning about of food in the stomae)i, irritating the nerves there aB they would bo irritated by a dqso of mustard. This is of¬ ten" the kind experienced In small boats' ami | Is at once relieved by vomiting. \ Tho writer suggests no remedy for sea¬ sickness, and wo shall offer no oommunt up¬ on, hhi theory. It seems to Invito tho trav¬ eler, however, to keep a level head at sea. as wollasa levol%omach„ovon if ho has to I resort to a hammock suspended from a de¬ volving qrane. V / YACHTING. A flno^yacht, owned by S. V.' RarknoBB Is being finished at tho Iron ship yard of tho Globo Iron Works. Tho jncht will bo launched on Saturday. Shn Is seventy feet long, twelve foot beam and four foot deep. She is plated with tlircc-slxtcoiifhs Irdn, the Iratne being clghtcon-iuch contcrs, and tho floors thioo-Blxiconths thick, with two sister keelsons made of angle Iron the whole length,- and a stilnger of thrce-BixteenthB iron on eachsldo', tho whole length, covered with wood and upholstered nicely to form scat and back. She Is finished with hard wood and tho windows are-of figured cut glttsa, altogether forming a vcrytasty combination. The yacht haB two c"n"glneB of seven Inch . bore by twenty-lour luch stroke, made en¬ tirely of fine steel and wrought Iron, with wrought Iron feathering paddle wheels, which 1s something new In this country. Her bjpller Is five feet in diameter, nine feet long and made of live-sixteenths Otis Btcel, and Is capable of carrying two hundred pounds of Btoam. This yapht la destined by Mr. Harkness fur pleasure at bis summer residence near Fatrport. The modol was furnished by Cap¬ tain Nlck'erson, who is taking great pains to make her ono of tho most elegant yachts alloat. The new stoamyai.ht Mprmnld, launched early In JtmeatQuayle's, sltBln thewntoras gracefully as a swan. Her boilers were put In thrs week, bhc Is being rapidly finished and in tho course of a month will be ready to show her speed. Her ojvner, Captain [ I.ohmeyer, designed both her model and mirchlnerv, the latter containing some new Ideas lie Is desltous to test. It was put up undor his supervision nt the Variety Iron Works. He thinks it will drive her six foot wheel 200- revolutions per minute, which must give her great speed. Her length Is 112 leet over sill, width, 21 feet. She Is InTind- ed for pleasure and excursions and may go to tho Islands on her trial trip. The Sandusky yacht Alert Is being over¬ hauled and put In ship shape for the Cleve¬ land regatta. • She will leave here on Mon¬ day, Julv 2d lor that point. Her crew will consist of tho following gentlemen' Ed. Zohocst, captain; Messrs, Chutles and Lane Lookwood, Dowltt Herrlman, Fntnz Huo- bard, George West and William Forde. ^ —-------- The B. * 0. and I,. E. & W. B. K.'s have made arrangements to run excursions every Sunday from points along their respective roads to Put-In Bay. HIS ONLY CHANCE. A passenger on a Binnll steamer running along the American shore ot Luke Huron hunted out tho captain and said. I '/C'T1"'"' the mate Is drunk." "Yes, I presume so," was tho reply. I "That's Ills greatest fault- ho will get diutik." Pretty soon the passenger returned with, further news. He had found.that the chief engineer had accldently been left behind. "Qh, well," replied the captain, "eomo-of the firemen will put hei through all right." I In tlie course ot half an hour the passenger I discovered that the boat was leaking, and he returned to the captain and jeportejl, and added "I expect nothing less than to ho blown up before no teach Lexington." "My friend," said the captain In n furtherlj nay "that's yotu onl\ chance. We I won't, have it stot in, the mate Is sobering up, ' tho boys have gone down.to stop tho leaks, and j£»o can't blow you upjtnd sotllo with >our widow lor about ffi50, I'm a/rald you'll live for sevoral vears yet.
