THE MARINE THE FITZGIBBONS BOILER A correspondent of the Syniciuo Sunday Homlil speiilw M follows of n bollor of tliu Fltisffibbons puttern now under construction in tins city: There In now biilldlr.R In Hie boiler nhnps of the Kingston! lion tvorko n lingo boiler, which Id destined for use In n new steamer now building lit Clayton, which will ply on the St. Lnwronee rlvor. The boiler Is of the new iWiprovi'd Fltzglbbons puttern, nnd Is tlie'lnrgost ever iniinnfnBtured In Oswego, - bclijg eight feet In diameter by sixteen feet In length, tine] Its weight will osceod twenty- sis tonB. There nre to be 142 Iron tuboa penetrating the Interior, which will give a heating Biirface of 2,000 square teet. The design, were drawn by W.S. Smith formerly of Utica, now In the employ of T. P. Kings- - lord, und the work is pr»gi easing under the supervision of Mr. Fltzglbbons, the patentee of the new feature about the boiler. In the last few yotlrs nearly n score of these bollei s liave been in use in the states'aud in Canadn, * ami idr. Fltzgibbonn claims they have In every instance given.entiie satisfaction and fully demonstrated their superiority over any oftlie old patterns in use. Mr. Kings- ford has now a contract to build another somewhat smaller boiler lur the Hall brother; of Ogduiisburg. . 51r. Fitzgibhun, the inventor of this boiler is a very Ingenious Oswego mechanic. He has Invented and put into use mrfny valuable machines and implements. His Improve¬ ments of the Hteain boiler aro said by those mechanic* who have tested them to be of gieat vuiue and of such a character as will cause thern^o be universally adopted everftii- nlly. The city saving bank has had one put into its banking building. It has already been found that it will take only half as much coal to warm the premises as was con- Biftaed for the same purpose last year, although, as everr one knows, the present winter has been characterized by much more severe weather than lest winter. It was a boiler of the FltzglbbonB pattern which was recently introduced In the city hall ldr heat¬ ing'purpose and those acquainted with its merits say it will not require halt the fuel to supply It that the old boiler did, and will warm the building a great deal better. In¬ deed, the fault most likely to bo found is that it will keep the ptemlses too warm, un-. less care is taken by the engineer to moderate the supply ot steam to the radiators. The improvements mado by Mr. Fltzglbbon are jiiBt «8 valuable and equally available in the construction of.maiine boilers and those for driving machinery generally, as tor heating purposes.—Oswego Times. I A'NOVEL INVENTION. A very novol scheme lor establishing a permanent channel iu the Mississippi river has been presented to Congress in tho shape ot a petition by the inventor, M. J.'Adams, wlib asks for an appropi lnt(on to enable )iin¬ to bring Ills experiment to a successful termination. He says lie has completed -13,. 000 feet of what Is known as Adams' flume, at a cost of $9,500. It is thus described : "It .is a perforated tube about twelve inches in diameter shaped like the letter ¥. divided __hi{o_two chambers, upper- and lower, by a partition. The upper holds the water under the necessary pressure tlie entire length of the tube. Tho lower lies quiescent until the ' operations commence. The water on the upper chamber is let thrcugh the opening iu the paitition into the lower chamber and through the jets stirring up the sand, hold- ing.it in suspension until the current carries It off to some lost place, where it forms banks like a canal. Tho number of jets operating at a time is covered by pressure. Whore there is any obstruction it is opened on It like a battery. No sand, gr-ivei, or moderated hardpanenn stand near it. To lay It In one unbroken line In the center of the river from Its head to the' Gulf, It will se¬ cure a channel the necessary deptli through¬ out and keep It open all through. To give the invention an undeniable test would require about three miles, which can be procured Irom St. Paul down, It being almost checked In summer. The result of the test will give a permanent channel the distance laid, ntlnidlug a valuable permanent Improve, nieiit at ono quarter the ordinary cost."— l»Ur Ocam. n period nf more that) twenty years.
