Ltd., advises that the Shaw, Savill motor-ship Karamea, now at Queen’s Wharf discharging the local portion of her cargo of general merchandise from West Coast United Kingdom ports, is to sail this evening for Wellington, Lyttelton and Dunedin to complete unloading.

NEW UNLOADING DEVICE A LAB-OUR-SAVER.—lncreased exportation of

copra from tropical countries into the United States through the Port of New Orleans is expected as a result of the successful demonstration of the suction derrick which has been installed here as the means of speeding up the movement of commerce. In a test just held, the suction derrick completed in 20 hours an unloading job which would have required several days of labour by a hundred or more men. The suction pipe of the dredge extends over the wharf and loads four <-ac*s at a time. It is capable of unloading 51 tons an hour. The suction derrick, one of the first used in this country. -\vas installed here by the Southern Railway. DOUBLE-RANGE LIGHTS FOR NARROW CHANNELS. —A new method of erecting double-range lights, applicable to narrow channels, where traffic is extremely heavy, has just been devised, according to the Lighthouse Service of the Department of Commerce, U.S.A. This adaptation of range lights is a part of the important work of widening the channels of the St. Mary’s River, east of Nebish Island, between Lakes Superior and Huron, where the volume of commerce is so great as to demand the fullest protection. Vessels travelling the narrow channels of the St. Mary’s River had previously been guided, m a number of instances, by range lights at one end of a single straight section. The new range Tights, now being built, which it is hoped will be ready for service during the present season, have the added advantage of indicating parallel up and down bound courses upon which vessels can navigate without interfering with each other. The widening of the channel has made it possible to erect range lights so that they indicate courses 200 ft apart. The establishment of eight lights not only separates the up and down bound traffic, but provides ranges both ahead and astern on both courses. This is an important advantage as the range astern is frequently obscured by a following vessel in these congested waters.
