Perforated Sails Beneficial

Although the assertion. recently
made by an Italian sea captain that
the power Of sails was increased by
their being perforated was ridiculed,
1t has Just been proved that he was
right.
His theory was that the force Of
the wind cannot fairly take effect on
an inflated sail because Of the cush-
ion Of immovable air that fills up the
hollows. To prevent the creation and
presence Of that cushion, he pierced
his sails with many holes. Through
which the wind blew. the balance Of
