How large an amount of river and har bor Improvement work Is now under way or Is contemplated by the United States Government Is indicated by the fact thai at present' ten suction dredges are being built two of which will be sent to the great lakes, two to New Tork Harbor, two to the Mississippi River, two to Charles- Ion.

S. one to Galveston, and one to 8avannah. Ga. Five are being constructed by the Maryland Steel Company, two by the James Uellly Repair and Supply Com pany 'one each by the W. R.

Trigg Company, the Petersburg Iron Works Com pany, and the New York Shipbuilding Company. The mechanical equipment of the dredges for salt water servtc will Include surface condenser outfits with Blake air pumps, feed pumps, and fire pumps. The dredges for the great lakes are provided with very large Blake air pumps. The air pumps are cf a very novel arrangement Inasmuch as It Is possible by the manipulation of valves and cocks provided for the purpose to cut each pump In half and run one side entire ly Independent of the other side. These dredges are the largest ln capacity ever built and are designed In each case for the special work which they will have to do.

They are self-propelling, seagoing dredges, and do not depend upon the aa-(stance of tugboats or other craft to move them around from point to point Ths operation of these machines Is very interesting. A long, flexible tube 12 to 13 Inches in diameter drops down from the side of the vessel LO or 30 feet or mora to the bottom of river or harbor upon which the dredging operation is being performed. The upper end of this ube Is connected to an Immense rotative centrifugal pump making several hundred revolutions a minute. The lower end of the tuba Is manipulated from the vessel against the Band bara and mud banka. and aa the water Is sucked upward by the centrifugal pumps a very large proportion of sand and mud got-s with it The centrifugal pumps discharge this water with Its suspended material into the tanks on board ths vessel or Into scOws.
