that invention for keeping the under,
water surface Of q boats hull covered,
with a fine film Of oil to prevent rust
and barnacles from fastening upon it
and likewise to accelerate its speed. A

before the United States government an

this, and his claim seems justified.
The naval department will shortly ex-

view Of adopting it for war vessels. By
Mr.. Altschul's device the hull Of ship
