Mr. Omar Thomas of North HaYen. bias in

Mr.. omar Thomas OF North Haven, has In
vented an apparatus for spreading oil on the
water during gale of wind. Mr. Thomas.
who was formerly sailor, says the great
difficulty In the use Of oil in storm at sea
Is that when spread on the surface the wind
blows 1t to leeward and the effect Is lost His
device Is to obviate this difficulty. IL con-
sists Of mortar and bomb. The latter is a
nearly gl0bular shell Of cast iron filed with
oil. On the side towards the muzzle as 1t
lies in the mortar Is an aperture, closed by a
hinged cover, fitting tightly, and fastened
with sort OF latch. This latch Is so con-
structed that when the mortar Is discharged
the pressure pf the air releases IL. But the
aperture In the shell Is not opened till it
strikes the water and sinks beneath the sur
face. The she'll Is so weighted that as II
sinks the aperture is uppermost, and the COW
er Is lifted by the pressure Of the oil upon It,
Thus the oil is released well beneath the
surface, and rises through the waves, pro-
ducing the most effectual results. II Is be-
lieved that life-savng crews, supplied with
this apparatus, could smooth the waters
about a stranded wreck so that 1t would be
possible to board them, when it could be done
