One of the latest novelties intended for increasing safety at sea is a ship take, the purpose of which is to assist in foraging a vessel to a' stop with the least possible delay. An experiment with the new device j s to he made on the old battleship Indiana. The brake consists of a' pair of plain vertical surfaces, one on each side of the ship, below the waiter-line. These iwings or blades, each" of which, will be Oft? wide and 13ft. high, are to be aittaehed to the wiM 'He folded against the vessel's huil, and held i» position by locking bars.' When it is desired to stop the vessel suddenly, as in the event of an impending collision, the locking tars, Which are controlled from >hhe v-ravn'gafcing bridge, can be -released. They will give an initial opening movement- to the brakes, which, subsequently expanding Try the force of the water, will naturally have the effect of 'reducing the vessel'* "rav."

YACHT CARNJGiIE.The. already famous yaeht Carnegie, in which all the world was %- lerestcd almost as soon as her designs were completed, was recently launched liv the Tebo Yuen" Basin Company, Brooklyn. She u-as built for the Carnegie Institute for the ptirpose of making an entire new magnetic survey, and her remarkable feature is that she is almost free from magnetic substances. She is' a smartlooking sailer, but is fitted with auxiliary engines, which give her another claim to notice, as the power is supplied by a producer-gas plant, making her one of the pioneers in the use of new motive power. When she puts out to sea on her maiden voyage the only bit of steel or iron in her will be the "steel piston-rod of the gas' engine. This will be so situated as to have no effect upon her compasses, and in this way absolutely no allowance for compass deviation will be necessary. The gas producer plant is constructed of copper. It will generate gas for a 150 horsepower marine engine, which will give th e vessel a speed of six knots. The Carnegie will ho rigged as a brigantinc, and will have a sail area of 12,!K)0 sq. ft. She is 155 ft fiin over all in length, 123 ft on the load water-line, with a beam of 33ft, depth of hold of 12ft Din. and a mean draught of 12t Bin. It is expected that over fifteen years will foe epent before the work for which she is designed is completed.

Ooasthl shipping has 'been considerably (hampered by the late trough weather, many of the ismarller steanuors being unable to work the river i»rts. The Rimu, which "was to have ]eft Onchunga last Tuesday for and Wttngawui, did not get away till Friday. Tlie new steamer -which is being built at Auckland for the Patea trade is to be launched on September 21st. She is said to he the strongest boat ever huilt in Auckland, The outer skin is of kauri and the beams of (hardwood.
