A New Searchlight.
A powerful searchlight has been invented for the purpose of simplifying searchlight operations on board ship. It is portable, and may be packed in a box when not in use. It can be attached in leBS than a minute. Its weight is just below fifteen pounds, and it can be handled with the greatest ease, or suspended from a chain and operated by the officer on watch. Its peculiar feature is that it does not dazzle the sight of the operator. None of its beams are wasted, and it gives a high degree of concentration of light rays upon the object on which they are directed. The instrument has both automatic and hand power, and the foensing arrangment is very simple.
It shows small objects, such as a * spar, buoy, three-quarters of a mile off, while it makes sails visible three miles away.
