IMPROVEMENTS IN SHIrPING.-Two lines of
ships (of about 500 tons each) are running between
Glasgow and Montreal Canada They are built
of iron, and all their shrouds, stays, back stays in
fack III their standing rigging, is made of wire rope
wifi hemp centres This rigging, it is stated is
much preferred 1t looks very light and is in fact,
lighter than hemp of equal strength It holds less
wind and is not subject to stretch after being once
set home. Each shroud or stay terminates in a
screw, by which it can be strained to any desired
extent, and two men, in a couple of hours can set
all the rigging, even in q storm No strain can
come upon the mast TO break it, without first part
ing the rigging, there is no danger of rolling the
masts overheard. This rigging is by far more
durable than hemp, and not expensive ri
first. An improvement i'll the hanging of the yards
is adopted in these ships by which the yards are
made TO turn in their lifts, and roll up the sails
upon thcn from the deck, so that it is never ne
ceSsary to go aloft to reef fir them, and these
operations are performed with much greater dis
patch
