An improved rudder has recently been brought
to notice in London. which Is designed to combine
the advantages of both the common and the
balanced rudder, without their attending draw
backs. This newrudder is suspended from the
stern post in any of the ways usual with the
common rudder, but it has no rudder-post sr
spindle. \ little behind the hinge, at n distance
varying with the size of the rudder, an upright
shaft or spindle is fixed, reaching 10 within a
little Of the rudder-blade and carrying at its
lower end. a strong crank arm or lever, with a
rim provided at its outer extremity The upright
spindle is supported by a stroug bearing near the
crank, the upper end being connected TO suitable
steering gear. At the upper edge Of the rudder
a groove is provided, in which the crank-pin can
be made To slide. As the spindle Is turned 10
the right OF left, the rudder follows the move
mcnt of the crank 10 a less degree, diminishing
ia amount ne the angle OF divergence increases,
until. - hen the ruiIcr l. hard over, the crank in
plan stands yearly at right angles to the direction
OF the rudder. BY these arrangements the lever
age Of the strain transmitted through the crank
arm from the rudder 10 tue steering gear, Is
reduced as the angle Of the rudder with the line
Of keel increases, and the dimensions may be
chosen in such q manner as to cause very little
variation in the strain on the gearing during
manipulation.

One of the best signs Of the times is the pro-
gress and reform movement, which has not only
been initiated by the State but by the Church
also. y reform Of "a liberal character in ecclesi-
astical matters is now making rapid progress in
Germany, Austria, Switzerland and England. In
the latter country the Oxford Convention of
TheOlogians has by vote decided that so much Of
the religious forms and institutions of the Church
of England as are established by law may be re-
pealed, revised and Ieadiustcd by the legislative
authority which passed the original statutes.
The Convention declares further that : the time
has arrived when in the cause Of religion itself
1t may be desirable to widen the portals of the
National Church" Does not that clearly indi-
cate a desire, if not a demand, on the part OF the
clergy to have the organic law of the State re-
modelled in conformity with the exigencies of
the times? Formerly, whether expedient OF not,
a strict compliance with the law was demanded
Now, however, that has ceased to be exacted-a
repeal Is asked. And is not this making pro-
gress in the right way? If England would now
leave entirely to the Church the power of legis-
lating on ecclesiastical matters, it could accom-
plish at once u full and lasting reform.
