nd 6 1/2 feet deep. When launched she drew 9 inches of water; when equipped she drew 40 inches. She was navigated to the scene of her exploits, twice ascended the river, and her ribs upon the strand of Clarence Cove were visible but a few years since, and may yet remain. Her engines were 16 horse-power. Her weight, without engine, 33,600 pounds. The Garry Owen was the first iron vessel with water-tight bulkheads; suggested by C. W. Williams. See bulkhead. Iron vessels for America, Ireland, France, India, and China were built in Scotland and on the Mersey, 1833-39. The iron steam-vessels Nemesis and Phlegethon were used in the villainous Opium War of 1842. They were not the last vessels built on the Clyde for piratical expeditions. The Ironsides was the first iron sailing vessel of any magnitude employed for sea voyages. The Great Britain, built at Liverpool, was the boldest effort in iron shipbuilding in her time, but was eclipsed by the Leviathan, afterwards rena

a harbor. Although limited to no particular form, a very common construction of the jetty is a timber framing A, secured by piles or loaded with rubble. It is often built in the manner of a sea-wall; having a double row of sheeting piles, the interval filled in with rubble or beton. The latter is excellent. The term jetty is also applied to expensive and solid erections of masonry, and to hards or landing-places for boats. Teford's jetty B at the eastern arm of Kingstown Harbor, Ireland, is an example of a jetty made of rubble, with a track and parapet of coursed masonry. The foreshore, in most works of this kind, is faced with pitched stones, that is, an outer layer in which the undressed stones are not laid at random, but deposited end on, beginning at the lower edge, and so caused to bind and become mutually sustaining. Jetties of masonry (C) have usually ashlar facings and heartings of rubble or concrete. The walls filled in with beton will be nearly equal to a so

The usual gage in England and the United States, and now compulsory in England, Belgium, France, Italy, and Germany, is 4 feet 8 1/2 inches, the gage common in the tramways of the collieries of England before the invention of the locomotive. Ireland retains its own gage. The 4 foot 8 inch gage was very sensibly retained by Stephenson; but Brunel, who could not condescend to copy, adopted 7 feet as the gage of the Great Western Railway of England. After this very expensive railway had beento its being discharged more equally throughout the year, the number of rainy days is generally greater than in lower latitudes. There are six maximum points of rainfall in Europe, estimated in rainy days, not quantity, — Norway, Scotland, S. W. Ireland and England, Portugal, N. E. Spain, Lombardy. In Ireland it rains 208 days in the year. In England it rains 150 days in the year. In Kazan it rains 90 days in the year. In Siberia it rains 60 days in the year. On the Dofrefelds

The Majestic was navigated from Glasgow to Dublin in 1814, by Dodd. In 1817, 7 steamboats plied on the Thames under Dodd's direction. A Parliamentary commission of 1817 stated the necessity of steam as a marine and river motor, and cited the extensive use of the same in America, which preceded by some years the establishment of practical steam-vessels carrying passengers in any part of Europe. （Temple.)
