Tho development of the ship whidhisi on the lakes is n very- correct exponent nf the extension of business nnd Improvement of vessels.

On account ol leciug up of tho lings the next Improvement wns ratchets on tho rings surrounded by a shell with pawls to operate on ratchet, Tlio full shell, not protecting the rings from ice, was dispensed with and n sectional one substituted In Its placo, as now in use on log windlasses. About this time, owing to the Increase In tonnnge, the wood¬ en pnwl nnd pawl ratchets were found un¬ desirable and substituted by a cast Iron =3= ed by tho Globo Iron Works on llioir com. • pound marine engines. .It is applied l'o> tlio ordinary aniazocn henm by tho addition of n vertical arm, connected to tho piston rod of tlio cylinder, whoso valves aro oporated by a hand wheel, which alteration does not Inter-' fere with the successful operation of the or. dlnary hand brakes.
