stantly increasing custom dues. The following paragraph_received in a private letter by a correspondent puts a very disheartening view on the state of trade at present existing in the Protectorate.
"You will no doubt have learned that during the past six monthe many important houses in Haiphong (all European) have liquidated, failed, or have been obliged to cease business, as well as three or four Chinese houses: As to Randi, about a score of Chinese merchants have been into the bankruptcy Court or have liquidated. All this has come about thanks to the paternal administration of our poor colony, by the ever increasing vexatious taxes created for a yes or a no, and which will finish by undermining our small resources. · Salaries are being cut down and things generally are at a very low ebb. Notwithstanding this, money is still found for the construction of theatres, and that irrepressible globe-trotter, H.E. M. Doumer can still find a corner in the budget for his yachting expenses (about 700,000 frañes per annum). Pauvre Tonkin!'
WATER-TUBE BOILERS."
On Saturday night a very interesting and enjoyable paper was read and listened to by the members of the Institution of Shipbuilders and Engineers of Hongkong, and their friends, Mr. Wilkes was the lecturer and the subject chosen was Water-tube boilers.
The concert room was tastefully arranged for the occasion.
The Vice President,, Mr. Ramsay presided and in a few chosen remarks introduced the lecturer; just at this point H.E. the Governor and Viscount Sutrdale arrived, and were received by the Company standing.
In the course of his paper, Mr. Wilkes
said:
The subject I have chosen for my paper is one which concerns most of us here this even-, ing, and one that I feel sure is of grent interest to all members of the Engineering profession,
We all know that for many years there was almost a standstill as far as the construction of Boilers was concerned, and the one boiler almost universally used for steamships was the known as the cylindrical return-tube Scotch boiler, and may say that at the pre- sent time there are thousands of these boilers in use, and comparing the form of construction with those of thirty years ago, the writer, sees but little change.

As this is a meeting principally of Marine Engineers, it is my purpose, to consider only the particular type of water-tube boilers as adapted for marine purposes.
The ever growing tendency of the present day is to do things quickly, and time seems to be the essence of all contacts in Marine Engineering, and consequently, speed is the object aimed at. The low pressures of our fathers bare given way to higher and more economical ones as greater powers or higher piston velocities are obtained with the higher pressures at a considerable reduction in weights, than in the old order of things, and the compound engine has had to give way in favour of the triple and quadruple expansion engines, and then the question arises how are we to supply this high pressure of steam requir ed for, these classes of engines; which must be done quickly and if possible, economically. It will be my aint to show you that the water- tube boiler will be able to meet these require- ments, but you will understand that I cannot, within the scope of this paper, give you more than a passing glance at a few of the many kinds of water-tube boilers made.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1900.
"Then again with regard to the weight of the water tube boiler and the pressure carried, you will all, I think, agree that 180 to 200 lbs. par square inch is about as far as we can go in the present type of cylindrical boilers, owing to the thickness of plates that would be required for the extra pressure of say, 350 lbs, per square inch, and the trouble and expense entailed in working such plates, and agaili, the intense heat required would deteriorate the thick plates that would have to be used for furnaces &c. for these presures, and when we want 350 b. per square inch or more, the water tube boiler is the one we must look to, and again in the matter of weight. Let us see what it means? Take for example, en gines of 6,000 . . r, the weight of 3 water-tube boilers for these equals 63 tons for everything, boilers, water, funnels casings, brickwork, wa- ter pans, bridges, &c.; new Cooo÷63 gives us 652 1.

I admit this high power for weight is obtained at a loss of econo my, but for short sparts of two or three hours, in a destroyer or torpedo boat, this is of the greatest importasice, and, fuel is a secondary consideration.

By the prescat arrangement; this is done by removing weighin from the automatic feed regulator when work. ing at high rates of evaporation and replacing them on slowing down, each weight equaling. " of water in the gauge glass. The working pressure with the Bellovifle boiler is usually about to lbs, per square inch above the working pressure at the engine, which makes the latter independent of any fluctuations of steam pres sure that may occur at the boiler and as the quantity of water contained is small and also the steam space being small, such fluctuations are more liable to occur than with the cyclin- drical boiler; this arranged difference sure also allows for the reduction of about 10 lbs. per square inch due to wire drawing at the boiler orificies when working at full power and also for the necessary friction in the pipes that must take place on its way to the engines, and this brings us now to the reducing valve which must be used so that the pressure at the engines will be constant. I may say that the reducing valve is not an indispensable feature, and is, so far, mainly used in large engines. Sketch No. 5 shows a reducing valve.

With the gunboat type of boilers the water is 33% when designed in ac cardance with Admiralty rules. With the Bell- eville boiler the water only 8% of the total weight. With the Babcock and Wilcox about 141 %. Yarrow boiler 15%, Thornycroft 15%, and with the Normand it is about 24%. The dry bottomed loco type, which is the great rival of the small tubs of water tube boilers has water to the extent of 30 % in the single-ended design and 27% in the double-ended.

Great advance has been made in the manufac ture of steel, and by this means boilers are now made to give double the power for the same weight that obtained some thirty years ago. This advance in the manufacture of steel has a greater bearing on the subject I am bringing before your notice, than is generally credited, so much attention being directed to the form of design.

Facility for cleaning the tubes-which in this boiler is done by passing brushes or scrapers, on the outside of the tubes and having hand holes opposite each tube, by removing which the inside of the tubes can be cleaned and examined; the tubes are large enough to allow a light to be passed through them, thus enabling the condition of all the parts of the tube to be seen.

In this matter the writer considers the water tube boiler a long way abend of the cylindrical boiler as a great advantage being, the easy transport to any part of the "world of the parts liable to.Į deterioration, and being able to disconnect the parts of the defective boiler with the ship's staff, send it up on deck, and the new parts down into the stokehold, and put some together with put having, as at present, to cut away the decks of the ship, &c, besides requiring the use of large shear legs, which are not at all times available, this is, in my opinion, a great
point in their favour.
On Raising Steam.
Now let us sea what goes on in the interior of the Belleville boiler when steam is being generated. You will notice by Sketch No. 4 that the feed enters boiler at the steam collector and thereby ensures circulation, also the heat ing of the feed water which is discharged into the boiler at a much greater pressure than that' inside the boiler, it then fails to the bottom of the collector and combining with the returning
water from the steam genemting tubes flows to the return water tubes at each end of steam' collector.
It will be seen by sketch that the generating tubes project into the steam collector some 8* 10,10% this is to ensure that the feed water and returning water do not interfere with the free flow of steam from generating tubes.
The feed water passes down return tubes to the feed collector, to which the bottom end of each element is connected, and from which each element receives its supply. The steam gene- rated flows into the steam collector carrying with it a considerable quantity of water which We all know that in the present cylindrical is.sepamted out by a system of bafiles shown in boiler we should never dream of raising steam sketch No. 4. Having given you a rough idea under from 6 to 8 hours, and even then we find of the principles of the "Belleville" boiler, I the bottoms of the boilers are cold Same will now proceed to describe the automatic feed years ago, the writer, when in the Black Sea, regulator; as represented by sketch No. z. noticed shortly after steaming away from port, "Almost all types of water tube boilers have a manhole door leaking, and the water coming come system of automatic feed, some have from it was quite cold, although there was valves outside, and some inside, but all 70 lbs, of steam on the bailer, and the engines are actuated by means of a float, with the were working; now this, as you all know, must exception of the "Yarrow Boiler" where the he very detrimental to the boiler, and could opening for steam to the feed pump is on a not occur to a water tube boiler, for as soon as level with that desired to be kept in the boiler, the fire is lighted, circulation commences, and and as the water increases in the boiler, so it is quite possible and often known to get the pump, is stopped from working by the steam in 20 minutes, and in a torpedo destroyer, entrance of water into the steam pipe of the known to the writer, she has been going 20 feed pump.
