LOG BOOK.
The World's Shipping, According to the aupost report issued by the Commites of Lloyd'a Register, at the close of the year ended June 30 last, 10,621 mor- ohant vesels, registering nearly 24,000,000 tons gross, held classes assigned by the Committee, Dar ing the year the Committee ae- Bigned classes to 13 new vessels, of a total gross tonnage of 2,020,- 185. Te latter is the highest figure for any one year in the
2nd half Jan. history of the society, about 60 let balf. Feb. per cent of the new tonnage was 2nd half Fob. built for the British Empire. A www feature worthy of montion in con- nection with the progress of marine engineering, the report gues on to state, is the increasing use of steam turbines. The in- troduction of geared torbines has enabled a high speed to be obtain ed by using comparatively small motor drums running at very high rates of revolution, and geared

of
ranning at the lower rate of revolution which would be used with reciprocating ongines of the same power, thus combining the high efficiencies of steam turbines and ofelow-running propellers. An advantage of the combination of reciprocation and turbine engines, an arrangement which has proved satisfactory, is that the machinery co-be-worked at reduced power with practically the same efficiency as at full power. The speed of these engines in reduced by "linking up," easbling the fall steam pressure to be utilised in the cylinders, whereas th ordinary steam turbines the spcod can only be 'regulated by vary.ug the steam pressuro, so that when. less than full power is required the steam pressure has to be reduced, and a corresponding loas of efficiency is incurred. In last year's report reference. was made to the. increasing em- ployment of dil engines for marine purposes. In view of the importance of this means of
