shlps, 1ulla Quickly Cleaned.

Mr.. F. G. Browne of Melbourne. Aus
tralia, has invented an ingenious ma
chine for cleaning the hulls of ships
below the water line. In this con-
trivance a watertight dynamo drives
revolving brush that is held firmly
against the hull of the ship by small
propeller. After the machine has been
lowered by crane from small boat
alongside the steamer, the end that
holds the rapidly revolving brush is
worked up and down the sides of the
vessel. 1t is stated that the machine
can clean an S,OOO-ton steamer in six
or seven hours.
