been Invented. Boats fitted with the
apparatus, It is claimed. will never
be harnpered in speed by barnacles,
and the life of the ships hull will be-
longer
By means Of few submerged car
bon poles insulated from the hull,
electric currents are passed to the
hull, causing electr0lysis of the sea
water. The result is that chlorine is
disengaged from the. salt in the water
which Immediately forms compound
known as rhypochlorite. and this eff
