IRos SKIP BsuDISG.--Mr Delamater, foot of West
Thirteenth street. this city, has provided his yard with
all the necessary machinery and tools, consisting OF
furnace heavy punches, shears. athes, &C., and Is
intending to do an extensive business in iron ship
building The first ship, now in course of construction
for Messrs Mora Bros, Navarro g. Co., will be ready
10 launch in about three weeks Though something
less in size than some built at Wilmington and Boston,
she is said to be the first truly iron ship ever con-
stucted in this eountry-otber American ships depart
ing from the English standard of "a }" in having
their deck beams made of wood, while this ID made en-
tirely of iron in exact accordance with the English
specifications for tirst-class vessel.
Her dimensions are: POS feet the main deck, 30
over ALL 2eB feet beam, feet between decks, and l2I
feet hold She is made of large plates of iron ryeted
together in the ordinary manner thckest at the bottom
and lighter as they RISE the plates being inch thick
at the keel, to inch on the bottom, and from TO ]
on the sides Her beams, braces, &C., being made
wholly of iron and firmly riveted together she liz sup
posed to be much stronger than the best wooden ship
of the some weight, and of course economies the
space otherwise occupied by large beams and tmbers
though the principal economy of iron ships, especially
in hot climates is their durability. They cost about
fifty per cent more than wood but their low rate of in
surance and slow depreciation in value said to more
than balance the difference in first cost
NEW ISvESTIoss--Mr. J. T. w. Whitley ofHoboken
has recently invented AN Improved Portable Cook
90 ing Apparatus" with which, by the Of spirit
lamp or jet of gas, one two persons may be sup
piled with tea or coffee, eggs and broied steak, OF
other meat, in a very few minutes when the whole
thing may be conveniently packed away in one corner
of trunk or other suitable place. where owing TO it's
compacness it will occupy but little room. 1t is q
convenient thing for travellers, or small families.
Mr. w. has also new Shade, or Curtain for Win
dows particularly applicable to workshops and manu-
factories. They are so constructed with wooden
frame and thin muslin gauze, TO the pur
pose of double window in Winter, admitting the
light without the cold air while in Summer they may
be so opened as to admit the air without the
bright rays of the sun
A NOVEL WoRK.-A considerable piece of engineer
ing has Just been completed in Southern France few
miles north of the Pic du Midi and about an equal dis
lance from Bagneres de Bgorre. II is the excavation
of subterranean communication from the Lac Ben,
beautiful little sheet of water, the charm of that fash
ionabe watering-pace, to the River Adour. The lake
has of only 100 acres but it is 600 feet above
the level OF the sea- and very deep, and is estimated
that stratum of 20 feet deep may be taken of during
the Summer months for purposes of irrigation along the
banks of the Adour. The tunnel under the
bottom Of the Lake, and up to within few yards of
its bed where = large was excavsted into which
a communication made by submarine blasting
charges of from 60 to 100 pounds being let down the
bottom of the Lake.
SLEEPING CARs.-As this subject is attracting the
general attention of the public and the especial atten
ton of Railroad Companies and inventors, publish
for the information of inventors and az caution TO
purchasers, the claim Of patent granted to Henry b.
Myer in 1884 and amended May, 1859:
