Ex-Speaker ox the Assembly of the State Of New York.

State of New York, Assembly Cham- 1 BEK, ALBANY, April 16, 1887. f My family for the last twelve years have been using Allcok’s Porous Plasters, and have found them wonderfully efficacious ih coughs, colds, and pains in the side and back. About ten years ago I was thrown from a wagon and badly bruised. In three days these plasters entirely removed the pain and soreness. Twice they have cured me of severe colds which threatened pulmonary trouble. They also cured my son of rheumatism in the shoulder, from which he had suf-

sered two years.

An illustration of the progress which has characterized marine engineering is afforded in the fact that up to 1881 the greatest power put into one ocean vessel was about eight thousand indicated horse power, in the case of the ships Dandolo, Duilia, Inflexible, and AdLepante were being constructed with the enormous figure each of 18,000 indicated horse power; and now the Italian government has in progress the Re Umberto and Sicilia, and lastly the Sardegna, the engines of which, constructed "Ky a Naples company, are to develop nearly twenty-three thousand indicated horse power. Among the various features of note in this remarkable vessel, as described, are four sets of triple-com-pound engines, two sets of engines on each shaft, the vessels, of course, being twin-screw. The working machinery also comprises eighteen return-tube boilers, having each four furnaces, and the working pressure will be 150 pounds to the square inch. The piston speed is rated at 1,Q30 feet per minute.
