Fresh Water at sea.

ALI who have read many narratives of
shipwrecks must have been struck by the
fearful suferings to which. boats crews
are exposed. through the want of fresh
water. A boat cannot carry tanks of
any size, yet she cannot make a voyage
without water, and often men have es-
capped from a sinking ship only to die a
worse death for want of fresh water, in
an open boat under a tropical sun. This
danger can now be avoided by fitting
ships boats with a very simple and com
pact condensing apparatus which, has
Just been invented and patented by a
firm in Dublin. 1t consists of a small
boiler heated by a small paraffine lamp,
The steam from the boiler, which ii
filled with salt water, is condensed in q
worm-tube which passes through a re-
ceiver filed with cold sea water by a pipe
passing through the side O. the boat "a sec
ond pipe allowing the heated water tt
escape, and so keeping the supply Away
cool. This apparatus will produce from
pint to a pint and half of pure waite
per hour. There is a small tank for col
Letting and fltering the water, and
second tank contains oil sufficient t.
keep the lamp burning for ten days
The whole is fitted in the bow of thu
boat, where it is protected from the wasl
of the sea by a little f~orecastle bull
we it. Besides removing some of tn
worst horrors of %shipwreck, this inven
ton will be of service in other ways-fo
instance, to boats navigating and explol
ing brackish lagoons and..arms of the sea
or making short voyages along a coast
