Evidence of tho comparative efficiencies of bronze and cast steel propellers is . afforded by 1 tho performances in all-round service last year of tho steamship Athenia, of the Donaldson Line. Early in the year this vessel, which is of 9080 tons gross, and' 5400 i.h.p.j had a solid bronze propeller substituted for her. original propeller of cast steel, i Results of the year's' working with the hew propello'r, As compared with those of the previous year, show .that under practically the same'conditions M to draught, and with the expenditure o^

two extra tons' of coal of poorer quality per • day,, there was an increase in tho average speed for the whole period of 0.925 knot which must be regarded as satisfactory.
