| THE NIAGARA. ) The Niagara, which has just arrived J at Melbourne, is a triple-screw steamer, and was launched at Clydebank by Mrs. j Borden, wife of the Prime Minister of > Canada, on August 17. She is a notej worthy vessel in several respects. Built j specially for the Canadian-Australasian j service, which the Union Steamship Co. I is to conduct tinder subsidies from the { Canadian and New Zealand Governments, } with her tonnage of 13,500 she will be j the largest vessel registered in AustraI lasia. Iler machinery consists of recipj rocity engines driving two shafts and a } low-pressure turbine driving a centre I shaft, but the innovation of special inIterest is in connection with the boilers. Of these there are ten. In six, steam !is generated by coal, and in four by oil fuel, while the bunkers, tanks and boilers are all so designed that they can be adapted to carry and use fuel exclusively as so'on as sufficient supplies can be obtained at the ports of call. Captain .John Gibb is commanding the liner. She will commence running in 'the Vancouver ser- . vice on May 5. when she is to sail, from 1 Sydney for Auckland, thence to Vancouver.
