An Important Discovery Increasing the
Efficacy OF Sails.

An Important Discovery Increasing the
Efficacy OF Sails.
An Italian sea captain, Clio Batta
Vasallo of Genoa, has made very inter
esting innovation in the use Of sails Of
ordinary sailing vessels. He claims that
the force of wind cannot fully take ef-
feet in a sail, since the air in front of it
cannot properly circulate in the inflated
part and remains stationary immediate
ly in front of part Of the sail proper. lie
avoids this stagnatiOn of air, as he calls
it, by the application Of number Of
small holes in that part of the sail where
the depression is deepest when il is fill
ed. These holes are re-enforced like a
buttonhole, SO that they viii not tear out.
Trials made IN various weather have
resulted as follows: With a light wind
a boat with ordinary sails made
knots, while the new sail increased the
speed to . a knots. In fresh breeze the
respective speeds were and So knots,
and in a strong wind they We're and 10
knots an hour. 1t stands to reason that
the doing away with a layer of air
which cannot escape past the sides of a
sail must increase the efficiency of the
sailboat. Where the wind formerly
Struck a cushion of air which acted like
a spring mattress, decreasing the actual
pressure Of the wind against the canvas,
this current of air now strikes the sail
direct and Of course has a greater eff
cheney. Vasallo has received much en-
couragement from practical sailors as
we'll as theoretical scientists. -Phila-

BUSINESS ScARCE.-The docket in
the Police Court has been clear OF cases
for three consecutive mornings, the
night officers reporting everything as
having been quiet, with no breaches of
The peace and no cases to be tried.
This happy state of affairs is believed
to be due to the manner in which the
streets are now patroled, the beats
having been so changed as to make it
possible for the officers to go over all
the streets Of the city during the hours
they are on duty; besides the increase
IN the force ordinarily places double
the number of officers on the streets
than formerly, and moving as they do
all the time and singly they can be seen
and their services solicited in time of
need at almost any moment.

VIRGINIA TRACKS TO REoPEN.-The
Old Dominion and Virginia Jockey
Clubs have joined issues and have de-
cided to fight the Maupin bill to the
bitter end, says the New York Journal
Its the intention of J. Nj. Hill and the
Jones family to open the ST. Asaph race
track within the next month, and not
only race but have book betting at the
race track, on exactly similar lines as
heretofore done in Virginia. When the
Maupin bill, which prohibits open bet
ting IN the State, came up before the
Legislature there was considerable sur
prise expressed that the ST. Asaph aad
Alexander Island track people allowed
the measure to pass the Legislature
without opposing it in any way.
The apparent inaction on the part of
Hill and his conferees it is now easy to
explain. They propose to attack the
conslitutionality of the Maupin bill. AS
soon as the bill became law, Hill and
the Alexander management decided to
cooperate. and endeavor to find some
flaws in the bill. The counsel for Il e
two clubs went over the measure care
fully, and, after mature elaboration,
gave their opinion that the bill was not
drawn on sound basis and could be
easily overcome.
They also gave an opinion setting
forth that the system of betting at pres
emf in vogue in Virginia was not pro-
hibiJed, and that nothing stood i! the
way OF the tracks reopening and racing
being carried on just the same as be-
fore.
