A NOVEL STEAMER.

England has built q steamer, whose
model should attract the attention Of
American steamb 0atmen. In some
respects, similar boats would find rich
fields in the many inland streams whose
shallow depths admit only of oecasiOn-
al navigation. The craft referred 10 is a

INDUSTRIOUS USES OF NAPH-
THALENE.

A recent foreign patent relates to the
employment OF naphthsline in such q
manner as greatly to increase its indus
trial value. The plan in question pro-
poses the utilization Of this substance as
follows: AS an addition to the phosphor-
Gus paste in which the ends of wax and
other matches are dipped: as a sub
stifute for sulphur, wax, resin, or other
iufiammable materials, used fol dipping
OF impregnating matches or tire-lighters;
to increase the imfiammability Of can
dies, tapers, torches and the like; also,
for burning in lamps, in the form of a
hollow candle, provided with an indie
pendent wick and double air current, the
fl gme serving to melt the solid nsph-
thaline TO feed the wick. Nephthaline
is white crystallizable substance,
evolved by the distillstiOn of bituminOus
coal. Ithas a peeu lar, family aromatic
od0r, is somewhat heavier than water,
and is readily dissolved by nauhths.
