A LARGE veel sailing vessel has recently been built in Norway among whose fittings is a patent oil distributer, by which oll can be thrown upon the waves during severe storms. Within the vessel there is an iron, reservoir from which a pipe extends alongside of the vessel near the water line and as close to the bow as possible. A valve in the pipe close to the reservoir regulates the distribution of the all. This is probably the first case in which provision for throwing all upon the waves has been made from the first designing and building of a Tessol.
