THE MARINE RECORD. V A now patont, to provent tho foundorlng of leaking vomoIi, called tho "ship suction Valve," was recently recorded at tho patont -office at Washington, D. C, as well as In tho -countries of Europe. A stock company for "ttto purpose o»*siipplylirg vessels—sail ns well as steam with tills ronlly novel produc¬ tion was formed and titled tho "Ship Sue- 'Hon Valvo Manufacturing Company," with Mr. Thomas Keating as President, Mr. Ed. Voogc, Vloo-Presldont, nnd Mr. William Sdott, Gonoral Agent of tho Now Huvon Steamboat Co,, Treasurer. Tho patont con¬ sists of a vulvo fastened to tho bottom of a vessel, about a foot from the keol, enabllnjr <tho captain or any other officer, lu-cnso dta- lonkuge, to lower a small plate, which, while it makes a hole In the vejsol, forms a vacu¬ um nnd forces tho onoronching water out. To Illustrate the workings of tho new pntent n stenmbont-Wns chartered, nnd on Thurs¬ day Inst n numbor of scientists nnd members of the press were Invited to accompany tho vessel down to Newark Bay; N. J,, where u very small scow (Intended to bo used toVep» ' resent a sinking vessel, though ontlroly too small for -oxpoUmenting purposes), with a 4-Inch apparatus attached to her bottom, was allowed to fill with wnter. A tug then made fast to it and dragged It through the water on n straight couise nt a very" fast rate, and in an Incredible short space o| tlmo the scow wns completely emptied of wnter. Another trial wns attempted to sho v thnt a Jerking vessol could bo emptied just ns fust rffi a turn, but It wns not successful. In Ing rouiid"a'galnst a strong tide, the which wns apparently a very old one, b< to crumble to pieces, tho boards broul from the sides allowing the water to pi Into her fiom overv quarter, entirely meigingthe lemalnlng poitlotiBof tho e On this account the experiments made wcri only partially successful. In conducting any future trial of this suction valvo the company would do well to select n much lnrger and stronger vessel than tho ono that was used, that they mny be ublo to demon¬ strate more fully tho usefulness of that in¬ vention. The office of tho company Is at 80 Dunne St., New York. ■o 8 HAND II. B DURGEIt RAND & BURGER SHIP-BUILDERS, CONTRACTORS 5 LESSEES OF DRY DOCK.
