The Colorado Needs One.

Something quite in the way of a ship building novelty has just been turned out on the Tyne. This is a vessel of 150 feet long and S»A feet deep, especially constructed for river traffic on the Amu Darya, whose bed is so shallow and so full of shifting sandbanks that it was necessary to so construct the vessel as to draw only two feet fully loaded. The vessel has. moreover, been built In small sections, which, after being pieced together for the trial trip, have been disconnected and shipped to Batoum. From this port they will be transshipped by rail to Baku, thence across the Caspian Sea, and on by rail to Charjui, on the River Amu Darya. She has been designed to burn oil as fuel, and it is interesting to note that on the trial trip this oil-burning apparatus was put to a series of severe tests, and apparently proved thoroughly successful. This very uncommon specimen of the ship builder’s art has been built on the Tyne, for the service of the War Office Department of the Russian Government. —Shipping Gazette.
