A Leith, Scotland, boatbuilder is con-
structing yacnt which, in regard to design
and material, is probably unique. This
builder is the patentee of a boat which he
claims is unsinkable and uncapsjzable.
Hitherto he has constructed them of steel,
and he claims that owing to the manner in
which the fore and aft sections, which are
conical in shape. are permanently and her.
metically sealed, the boats are rendered un-
sinkable, even if filed with water, as the
water runs back into the sea through the
opening in the center-board casing. The
cruising yacnt he Is about to build will not
be OF steel, however, but OF an aluminium
alloy. The metal is as white MS silver and
possesses breaking strain of "a tons to the
square inch. 1t is unaffected by water. The
yacht. which, instead of being painted will
be polished, will be about 81 feet long and
feet broad, and will be provided with
roomy cabin paneled in oak and COM
modious forecastle. All the deck fittings, as
well as a centerboard dingey which will
Accompany the yacht, will be made of the
same white metal II this experiments
should turn out successfully new departure
in yacht construction and fittings may be
expected.

Composing With Both Hand.

A foreman Of q composing room has con-
ceived the idea Of using both hands in pick.
ing up and setting the types in the stick.
Ever since the composing stick was known
the left hand has held the stick while the
thumb pressed each successive type into
place against the pieces already in line. A
one-armed compositor came to the foreman's
room and with q single hand set almost as
much type as his fellow laborers did with
two. After thinking this over the foreman
worked out two inventions, by which he pro-
poses to use both hands at once. The first 10
n little mechanical device for taking the
place of the thumb, and the second Is an at
tachment by which the stick can be put In q
convenient position for receiving the type,
without being in the way of any subsequent
operations. -
Having got so far, the foreman found that
his next step was to train the left hand. This
was by no means easy, but after patience
and practice a considerable degree of eff
cheney was attained. and he added 80 per
cent to his former capacity. He believes
still further advance Is practicable, but 10
confident that any compositor, by the use OF
HIS inventions, which are TO be patented,
will be able to add at least 80 per cent to his
speed. thus enabling hand work TO maintain
sturdy competition with the typesetting ma
chimes thus lar invented.
