New PLAN OF SECURING SHIPS BAL.
LAsT.-Dr. Primrose Lyon, of Stoke Ga.
briel. Devon, an experienced surgeon of
the Royal Navy, having heard of acci,
dents, by the management of ballasis, to
prevent those calamities and dangers, has
projected pig of ballast, with dovetails
at both ends, made to fit into each Other
in succession, whereby the ballast so stow
ed forms an immoveble pavement in the
hold of the ship. The plan for securing
the ballast is no less specially applicable

The Steering Apparatus Of the
Steamship Asia.

Alta late meeting Of the Liverpool So
ciety of Arts, communication "On the
Patent Safety Steering Wheel" Of the
Asia, invented by Capt. Frazier, X. N,
and Lieutenant Robinson, R N, was read.
|, consists in the application to the steer
ing wheel of friction band, similar TO
that used in cranes, which passes round
a projecting circumference inside the
wheel, and is brought down to pedal on
the deck. by pressure, on which any
amount Of friction can be put on the
wheel. Ii is not desirable that the Eelm
Should be at s'dead lock-" without the
power OF yielding little to the shock Of
a very heavy sea, as that would endanger
the carrying away the rudder. An ad-
justing screw is therefore, provided, by
which the amount of ultimate friction
that can be put on the wheel is regulated
and not left in the power OF the steers.
man. A great advantage of this inven-
ton is the power which it gives of fixing
the rudders Of vessels lying in the tide
way or harbor, and thereby preventing
the continual wear on the pintals of the
rudder, and in time the loosening Of the
stern framing of the vessel.-Scientihc
