tially so, as is the ease with all
steam-ships as now- fitted.
Hitheno the chimneys of steam-
vessels have been so constructed
as to admit of but one sliding
part, which, when struck to the
lowest possible position, gene-
rally presents an unavoidable
altitude of many feet above the
deck, thus adding to other dis-
advantages that- of presenting
resistance surface to the air
when under sail. It is presumed
that the screw-ship would find
this compound sliding-funnel a
desideratum, particularly when
not only an unsightly funnel,
but even masts, rigging, and
their appendages, might be con-
sidered inexpedient to' bo re-
tained, and when the hull only
should be seen floating on the
water, in order to achieve some
important enterprise by ap-
proaching an object unobserved.
In such case, a smokeless coal
or coke might ho used, tlio
products of combust ion escaping
from the chimney, though
struck level with the deck, and
being perfectly harmless to tho
crew of the vessel. Tho com-
