Hydraulic power is now being applied to
the manufacture of se,llnless steel boats.
These boats ere claimed to be proof against
the destructive influences of sun and shower
and to be much more durable and reliable
than the ordinary wooden boats. Though
made of steel, the weight will not be greater
than that OF II wooden boat of the same size,
and the buoyuncy will consequently be not

the seamless steel boat will be superior to the
wooden one, and the cost Of the one will not
