A Sea Brake.

Many persons believe that one Of the most
beneficial functions of the wireless tele-
graphy, after all, will be its use on
vessels at sea to prevent collisions between
liners in heavy fog. 1t is evident that IL all
sea- going steamers are equipped with SINH
larly tuned machines 1t will be possible
to ascertain the whereabouts OF any dan
gerously close vessel in those parts Of the
ocean which are visited with dense mists
Nowadays the only possible method Of pre-
caution is to keep the fog horn sounding
and to slacken the vessels speed when
with the wireless system installed on all
liners there is yet serious danger of COL
lision between passenger ships and sailing
vessels and the fishing boats of the grand
banks of Newfoundland. which can not of
course be fitted with wireless apparatus.
Thus there is need of more effective
method of quickly stopping ship than the
reversal of the engines. which ordinarily
often fails utterly to prevent collisions.
The Canadian government is now expert
menting with device which promises to
obviate practically all danger Of disasters
of this kind. This is a ship brake. consist
ing Of folding steel wings on each side of
the vessel which can be opened at the mo-
ment of danger. Thus far in the tests they
have worked perfectly. stopping the vessel
when under full head within half length
with the engines reversed and length with
steam shut of. Furthermore. the use Of the
wing OF one side alone greatly facilitates
the swinging of the vessel. enabling her to
turn completely within her own length. In
fact. this brake when used as a supplement
