THE NEW MOTIVE POWER FOR SHIPS

The Liverpool Albion reports that rec ntly
a number OF gentlemen interested in shipping
met st Canada basin to exam ne Il new means
of propelling ships, which has been in vented
ny Mr.. j. j. Alingham, Of HamlltOn-road,
EvertOn. Mr.. Allingham's idea is TO make
waves, acting upon the huh, propel the sh p,
and this be proposes TO do by very novel
contrvance. Beneath the keel Of the vessel
be would fix two obong steel frames, each
fitting with two sets OF blades to open and
shut crosswise. One frame he would secure
to the forepart, and the other to the stern
Both the frames would be fixed at an angle
When the vessel rises on the sea the pressure
oil water upon the frames would of necessily
force her forward; and when she sank, the
blades, opening. would form the oppOs e
angle, and the outward mo ion would thus
be continued The apparatus would also
have the fleet of steadying her. Wher she
rolled over to the right. the blades on the lett
eide OF the frame being shut, the frames would
tend TO bring her back to the perpendica a r {;
and, when she rolled to the left, the closing
OF tie blades on the right 81 10 would have a
similar effect. The angles of the frame
would have to be increased or lessened ac-
cording to the state OF the weather To stop
the vessel 1t would be simply necessary TO
close the blades in the frames The action of
the appliance depends entirely upon the mo-
ton OF the waves; but at sra it lie rarely the
case that there is not sufficient motion in
the water to raise vessel several feet.
The inventor believes that tue apparatus
would be a sufficient propelllng power Tor
ships not required to travel at great speed,
but would supply ships with limited quau-
tity ofrigging as auxiliary power, and to pro-
vide against accident. The working OF the
invention was shown upon model chip sew
en- feet in length. The little vessel held its
way against the tide, and even in compare
lively calm water, travelling at conside:abi e
speed. The opinion of the spectators seemed
70 be that the invention is in a somewhat
crude state at present, but thatit Is founded
upon a sound principle, which, skiltuy APP
piled, would be OF great value to the mer-
! camille marine.

HOW 1 MAKE SOFT SOAP.

keep my ashes dry, and when put in the
hopper preparatory to making soap, I have
from halft one peck of uAslacked lime
put in with the ashes. Before putting the
grease in, swing the kettle off the fire and
let 1t hang few moments. If there is any
potash in IL, I take shovel and take it out.
For If there is much potash in it, it will not
make good soap.
Ipack the ashes well adding water enough
to dampen them. Thsn I put three or four
buckets of water on each day for two or
three days, until think it sufficiently soak
ed And lastly pour on boiling water to
run the lyc off. AS soon as I have enough
run off to commence boiling, put my kettle
over tho FIRE. and boil the lye as fast as it
will bell. still adding more I've as it bcils
down. In this way continue for q whole
day, BY evening it will probably be suni-
GENTLY strong to eat feather in passing 1t
three times across the liquid. I now put m y
grease in GALL think it will eatl, still boiling
as fast as can without its running over. If
it eats the grease all up add more. now
leave my kettle to hang over the fire all
night. In the morning if there are any
scraps of grease that are not eaten up, 1 boil
again tor an hour or two, and If they do not
dissolve take them out. Then take out
few spoonfuls OF the soap and set it away a
little while to cool When cold, If there Is
no lye under it and it appears free from
grease, set my kettle of, and hang another
one to boil more lye. Managing in this way,
generally can make from sixteen to eight
cen gallons of nice white soap IN two days,
and often in one day and night.
think that by pursuing this plan or q
similar one, any one can make strong, nice

SEALS AND SALMON.

Seals hunt salmon much In the same wa,
that hounds hunt hares. Seals swim faste
than salmon, and the fish escape by doubling
and evading their pursucrs. In clean water
and with little wind and no surf, salmon
swim deep or very close in shore, shelterine
themselves in seaweed, as hares do in covers
The marks or scratches on salmon, especially
one side of the s"lmon, mark those who have
made hair breadth escape by doubling
while he seal has run past his quarry. In
very calm weather the seal takes up posi-
ton in bay or in the track salmon run,
raising his head we'll out of the water, sus-
tanning that position on his hind fippers. his
head moving around as if on a universal
joint, watching eagerly for salmont TO leap,
VIXEN he rushes with unerring accuracy to
the spot. saw an instance OF this kind In
June, 1881, in Boyndie Bay, near Banff, In the
ear when my father nd uncle were tenants
of the Earl of Flies fishery in the Deveron.
I waA then waiting with crew of men on
tue beach, before fishing the nets after two
hours food, the most likely time for salmon
to swim in shore. A seal was in the center
OF The bay, about couple Of hundred yards
from shors in the position I have described.
A salmon leaped (and at the period / men-
ZION they were Very Scarce), she seal dipped
and swan to the spot where the salmon
ieaped: in less time than write about his
movements, up went the seal With the salm-
CA a hi claws. The struggle was Of short
duration; two or three twists, and the salm
on was notienleSs; then the seal, in his own
fashion, began to feast on him, commencing
