The first turbine steamer to be built for service in Japanese waters was launched on July 10 by Messrs William Denny and Bros., Dumbarton. She is also tho twentyfirst .turbine built by this firm. The vessel (tlio Hivafu Maw), with a sister ahip at present ululct construction, has been built to the ordor ot tho Japanese Slates Railway, for spccial service in tho Tsugaru Straits, Sho will link up the water space separating. tho_ two main railway lines in Japan, and will cover the distance in 3| hours, whicli is noarly half the time at lirosont occupied in crossing the channel. The vessel, which lia6 accommodation for throo'• grades of i)iis=engers, and also a limited cargo space, has a resemblance in appearance to lie English' cross-channel steamers. Sho is not u large vessel, her dimension? beinc 280 ft by 35ft by Her speed—l 3 knots on trial and 17 on service—may not bo considered ffreat for a turbine, vessel, hut it is really" high in proportion to her size.
