LLOYD'S YACHT REGISTER. 



THIS useful volume has appeared for 1880. We have in previ- 

 ous issues referred to the p roar value and potent influence 

 of such a well considered compilation of building rules, and 

 pointed out the advantage of having pome standard to go by. 

 With us In America the question is. What is really a well-built 

 yacht and what is not V Some will as=ert that doors simply spiked 

 to the keel n ii ■ good enough -'for a yacht," and tbronuh fasteniiiir 

 the irarhnards edgewise n lint lloored vessels is never dreamed of. 

 Otliers will tell you treo-na ils beat iron all hollow lor plank, and 

 the next man.be he builder or owner, will assure you of some 

 old bark of bis that lasted ever so many years wilh the plank 

 butted between the frames mid a stop-water on the inside to 

 caulk against. One builder, oblivious of nil mechanics, will run a 

 keelson from stem to center-board trunk, and again from the alt 

 side to the run, breaking off all connection at the trunk, never 

 dreaming that he is thereby destroying- the very object of keel- 

 sons and that ho might as well have saved himself the work and 

 the yacht the weight of a useless lot of timber. xVnother knees

 colOr is Obtained ; the liquid is filtered and applied to the wood, 

 which is then next washed in a liquor made by digesting strong 

 vinegar and a little oil of vitriol for some time with excess of iron 

 turnings; thoroughly wash the wood, dry and oil. For staining 

 fine woods the following is applicable: four ounces of gall-nuts, 

 one ounce powdered logwood, one-halt ounce green vitriol and 

 one-halt ounce vcrni rris are boiled wilh water, and the solution 

 altered hot, is applied to the wood, which is then coated with i;
