A NOVEL AScHCa.

Mr.. Frederick wittram, a native OF this State but
more recently resident OF California has invented
new anchor, which must, beyond question com.
pleely supersede the various styles OF anchors now
use, and In fact the entire principle OF their con-
struction. The new apparatus Is formed OF squared
bar Of iron, having two lateral 'slots cut through
1t at right angles to each other The bar forms the
shank Of the anchor, and at each end Is attached
massive iron ring, one OF which, at the head Of the
shank, ~ intended for the cable, and the other az
the stem, Tor buoy rope. The fiukcs OF the
anchor are two blades OF iron, which are set In
the Slots on pivot bolt and VIII swing
down on either side, TO rest at acute
angles from the shank and penetrate the mud An
anchor OF LOO pounds weight constructed on TINS
