% [Fkb. 24 THE CIVIL ENGINEER AND ARCHITECT’S JOURNAL. The Princeton.—The Times correspondent (A Genevese Traveller) writes—“ A great object of interest to our citizens at this time is the United States war-steamer Princeton, just built under the superintendence of Capt. Stockton, which now lies in this harbour, and is daily visited by crowds of interested spectators. This steamer is constructed with Ericsson’s propeller. Its steam machinery is placed entirely below the water line, out of the reach of shot. Its engine is extremely light and simple of construction, occupying only about one-eighth of the bulk required by the ordinary British marine- engine of the same power. It gives a direct motion to the axis of the pro peller without the aid of cog-wheels or auxiliary gearing of any description, it is styled the semi-cylindrical steam engine, and is the invention of Captain Ericsson. For the vast power which it includes in so small a compass, and for the exquisite symmetry and proportion of all its working parts, this engine is the theme of general admiration. The armament of the Princeton includes two huge wrought iron guns (introduced by Capt. Stockton), placed one at each end of the ship, the largest weighing 10 tons, and with a bore of 12 inches, carrying a ball of 2131b. This gun is placed on a wrought iron carriage, also contrived by Captain Ericsson, and which, without the use of the ordinary breaching, checks the immense recoil, and the vessel suffers but a very slight shock from the discharge. By means of this carriage this huge gun is managed by half-a-dozen hands with perfect facility. The pecu liarity of the steam machinery of the Princeton and its being placed out of the reach of shot are supposed to give her obvious advantages over all other steamers now afloat intended for naval warfare.” Clock-work.—The Paris papers speak of a psychological phenomenon, who is astonishing the people of that city, by a remarkable display of mechanical contrivance and mental resource. The objects of curiosity are a peasant of the Tarn, and his clock, (similar to the famous one of Strasburg, whose recent restoration by M. Schwilgne excited so much interest,) which this peasant, with no other aid than a strong will, a marvellous instinct* and an enthusiastic imagination—undertook te construct. Fer several years, he has been engaged on this work, aDd has succeeded, through difficulties which would seem quite insurmountable, and by mechanism whose simplicity is its greatest wonder, in combining the various and complicated movements—showing the hour of day at the prin cipal points of the globe, the four Evangelists and twelve Apostles who strike the hours and quarters, the cock that crows at noon-day, &c. A bust of Parian marble, in good preservation, and of excellent style, as it is said, has recently been dug up, at Cherchell, in Africa, supposed to be that of Ptolemy, son of the second Juba, and last King of Mauritania Tingitann, which is valuable as being unique. Cherchell is the ancient Csesurea, the capital of that kingdom. The bust is the portrait of a man in the freshness of youth, with the royal fillet on his brow; and has a striking re semblance to the likeness on the coins of the Ptolemy in question. It is destined for the Royal Museum. Another method of applying the waves of the sea lias been recently contrived, which promises more practical results than the propelling scheme. The object is to make the breakers on a dangerous coast serve as their own warning signals to sailors. The inventor proposes to have hollow buoys moored near the dangerous coast or sand bank, to which buoys pipes somewhat like organ pipes are to be affixed. Metal tongues, on the principle of accordions, are to be fitted to the pipes, so that when the buoys are tossed up and down by the breakers the air may be forced through, and cause them to utter warning sounds, which would become louder and louder as the seu raged more fiercely and the danger increased.—Morning Post.
