HISTORY OF THE ANCHOR.
Various Improvements That daFe
Been Made In Its Shape.

Various Improvements That have
Been Made In Its Shape.
The ships anchors in general used up
TO the beginning Of the last century
consisted Of O long, round iron shank,
having two comparatively short,
straight arms or fukes, inclined to the
shank at an angle Of about 40 degrees
and meeting it in a somewhat sharp
point at the crown. In large anchors
the bulky wooden stock was built up
Of several pieces, hoped together, the
whole tapering outward to the ends,
especially on the aft or cable side.
About the beginning Of the last CEN
tury 4 clerk in the Plymouth naval
yard, Pering by name, Suggested GER
tain improvements, the NEST important
Of which was making the arms curved
instead Of straight. at first sight this
simple change may seem Of little value,
but consideration will show that this ls
not the case. The holding power of an
anchor depends on two principal con-
dition+namely, the extent Of useful
holding surface and the amount Of
vertical penetration. The latter quail
ity is necessary on account Of the ma
ture Of ordinary sea bottoms, the sur.
face layers Of which are generally less
tenacious and resisting than is the
ground q short distance below.
In the year 1881 chain cables began
to supersede the hempen ones, with
the result that the long shanked an
chors hitherto in vogue were no longer
necessary, and anchors with shorter
shanks and with heavier and stronger
crowns gradually came into use. In
consequence of these changes a COM
mission was appointed in the year 1888
to inquire into the holding power Of an
chors, and a principal result Of its Ia
bors was the adoption Of the so called
admiralty pattern archor, which con-
tinued to be used in the navy up to the
year 1850. The invention Of the steam
hammer In 1912 made the welding OF
heavy masses Of iron comparatively
easy and reliable process, SO that from
this time onward the strength Of an
chors fully kept pace with that OF the
chain cables which had come into gen
eral use.
A number Of patents for anchors
were taken out prior to the great ex-
hibiion Of 1851. and, public attention
having been called to the models there
shown, in the following year commit
tee was appointed by the admiralty to
report on the qualifications Of anchors
Of the various kinds. Practical trials
were then Instituted, and as result
Trotman's anchor took the highest
place, Rodgers anchor being second
on the list. Some Of the tests to which
the anchors were submitted were CT
doubtful value, such, for instance, as
facility for sweeping" Nowadays,
however, at all events for deep ships
In shallow harbors, 1t is considered an
advantage for an anchor to offer as lit
tie obstruction as possible above the
ground.-Science Siftings.

Tie others, turning their minds from
future mysteries, began to talk about
