97 They are in the bottom of the ship, and throw in a cur- rent of air upon the furnaces so strong, that the height of the pipe is of small importance. It is not more than five feet high, and even if blown or shot away, the fires would still burn. You will now find these blowers on all the steamers using anthracite coal. You cannot well avoid noticing them on the promenade decks of common river steamers using the coal. In finishing and furnishing the Princeton for fighting on the sea, the geniu...s of Stock- ton and that of Ericsson were both employed, the two inventors working like brothers together. The former believed that larger cannon than any before used could be mude of wrought instead of cast-iron ; that is, fashioned by machinery and hammers, instead of run, when the iron is melted, into a mould. He had two great guns manu- factured, one in England weighing seven tons, the other was forged by Ward & Co. , of the Phoenix Foundry, New York, and weighed ten tons. The bore of the latter is twelve inches in diameter, and it carried a ball of two hundred and thirteen pounds weight.
