Furling Sails by Machinery.


The principle of the common roller
window curtain has been adapted to
tne handling the sails of vessels by a
retired sea captain who has invented
system by which the sails can be
raised or reefed from the deck with
out the use of steam power. Practi-
cally, the device consists of set of
wlnches placed at the foot of each
mast, whereby single man by turning
crank can furl, unfurl, or reef a
sheet in one minute. These winches
are so arranged as to take up their
own slack by reversing cogs, the sails
themselves working on sleeves encirc.
ing the yards. BY slipping a brake
the sheets are allowed to unfurl them
selves by a system of counterbalanc-
mg weights. With one seaman work
Ing at the cranks the yards can be
praced, eased away, or hauled around
before the wind in a few minutes, and
the sails can be held at any desired an
gle to the wind

inQ bfewefies namely tbe Toluea Orizaba. Central md Cuauhiemoc, a union oi brewing interest was
 formed for the preservation of prices
 in the various parts of tbe republic
 The greatest secrecy was maintain- ed about ihe proceedings of the
 meeting, and aside from the fact
 that the union was effected and @
 temporary organization formed
 those participating would give DO data. They would not even say
 who the officers of the union were,
 but 1t is understood that German
 Roth was elected as the president.
 He is the leading spirit in the en- terprise and agitated the matter until the brewers came together to regulate their prices During the session brewers went over the schedule of prices in all parts of the republic and it was agreed that certain prices were to be accepted to remain for the ensuing year as such. For instance in Mexico 1t was agree to make uniform price for all beers of the grade of the Pilsener manufactured by the Tolu- ca brewery. This should be S2.75 for two dozen pint bottles. It is that the prices of the beer in the northern part of the republic were raised considerably.
