If It Is'nnllll wind that blows nobody good then tho hlto'Wcst India hurricanes bnvo not beofi entlruly tinfavoiablo to American shipbuilders. Ship owners who have bhJ- fned from tlioso gales will 8 in He grimly lit ihe suggestion. Their more favored broth- ron will not bo so skeptical. Tho hurrlcniios have opened a" market for small Altterletm craft ot which our ship owiipib anil builders should avail themselves. Shipping property belonging td the West India islands Is gen- eially sninll craft and is hirgely composed of schooneis and'sloops built in the United Stutes. Our fishermen und coasters furnish the clilet supply. These veesols mnge from ten up to one liuiidred toils and are espe¬ cially adapted to the icqulremcntB of inler- insulin trading. Linger voBsels are of courso employed, but the small cratt, oven In the (iulfol Mexico, more than hold their own share ol the trade. This cliisBOfsblpplnghiiB sullored most severely during the past two months, and what botween every cnsiiiilty fioin total loss to that of spars, Its ranks have been sadly depleted. We need only to mention (he haibnr of JJiisbuu alono In or¬ der to givo some Ultfa of the destrtictlsn caused by the late InniIciiircs. In Unit har¬ bor there weie over twenty-Ilvo sloops re- poi ted nslioi e, half of w hlch beenmn a total ins, the leiuaindcr being badly damaged, und over sixty schooners, moBt ot which weio either a total loss, or very badly dam¬ aged. In a huge number of the other Islands ■ ho loss was quite as heavy. It will bo snld that the tntnl tonnage damaged wns not huge and that It wiib composed ol very small ves¬ sels. This can be giunted, but these stnnll vessels must bo replnced. fheio wus a de¬ mand for their soi vices and they formed an important leutuie In the commerce of the. West Indies. It 1' not to bo supposed that they w'll be leplnced Immediate!), but after the wieiks are ileared away and the acliiul amount of tonnage withdrawn is ascertained demand will be ninile to fill the vacancy.

ENGINEERING AND MECHANICAL ' ' INVENTIONS. A millstone dfcBBhjg machine bus been patented by Mr. Thotnus C. Barnes, of Lo- gnnsport, lnd, Tho Invention relates to tho dressing of uillUtoues by means of « din-- mond cutter, nnd providos means for tlio ad¬ justment of the cuttor nt any dcslied.anglo. Its leednt anypiopci speed, audits entire control In oltfior direction by tho opcrntoi. Tho entire uirnngomcnt may be made auto- inatlc at will. Among tho recent pntonts Issued Is one for an Improved and simple steam whlBtlc granted to Mr. J: E. Giiiibc, of Drownsvllle, Tenn. - In combination, with tho boll of a s.tciim whlstlo a movnblo valve is fitted for operation bv the engineer, so that tho tone ot tho whistle can bo chmtged readily ut the will of tho engineer. Means aro also pro¬ vided for adjusting tlfc bell to the steam out¬ let so as to obtain a clear tone. > Messrs. I. K. Ellerbcck and A. C, Toting, of Snlt Lake Cltv, Utah, have rcconllv se¬ cured letters patent' for an Improved hose ami rope reel containing a spring which 1b colled by the tinwlndliigof the rope or hose, which spring winds up the Iiobo or Tope its sooji ns It la released. To prevent ovei wind- ing*ol this spring or unw hiding h too far, a drum'ls arranged to travel on Its axis and strike agaltlBt checks, after making Biifllciont revolutions to tighten the spring aa much ns may bo nccessaiy. An Improved hydraullc^motor for vossels hns recently been patented by Mi, Simon O'Blicn, of Bristol, R. 1.' The Invention ionsist8 In a motor formed of n series ol pipes and a cock so connected that water enn bo drawn In a* the botiom pf tho vessel and forced out at the rear end of it, to the oflect that llio vessel wl I be moved forward. Wa¬ ter also inn bo drawn In at the renr end of the vessel and forced out at the bottom to¬ ward the front end, thus moving the vessel buckwnrd. The InUMillon nlso consists In nttnchlng n hose oi flexible pipe to the ei.d of the pipe pi ejecting from the Btern, nnd nttnchlug the hose to the rudder, whereby the wnter Issuing Irom the hose will /isaim in sleeting the.vessel. Messis. John A. I.csouid nnd J nines Lo tan, of Portland, Oiegoti, have patented an Improvement In hydintillc elevators of the telescopic kind, In wliiili u fluid under pres¬ sure, or which is supplied from a higher head or level than thut to which It Is neces¬ sary to raise the cage ol platform of tho elo- vntor, is mndo to net upon n series qf rams or tubes arranged to woikjujeivltliin the other,—The Invention, howevor, differs from other telescopic hydraulic elevators in its mode of action, valve gear, and inceliuiilsni, whereby aro produced what the Inventors term n "multiple hydraulic elevator," in which each telescoping section is contioiled by independent valves, nnd may be raised or lowered Independently of the oilier sections, thus making each section u complete elevat¬ ing device within itself, nnd so that the fluid may bo Introiliiued to eitltei telescoping sec¬ tion to opei ate the platfoi m ol the elevator a given distanie, or nil of tho telescopic sec¬ tions miiy be simultaneously operated, as desired —ticimtitlt Ammcuii.
