An exchange remarks that the growing American practice of perforating sails in order to increase the speed of a sailing vessel is interesting. The idea is that in a square-rigged ship the wind escaping through the holes of the sails from one yard strikes the sails on the yard of the next mast forward: but even in fore-and-aft sails the holes nave proved a n advantage in making the canvas draw better. Some captains provide little sand-bags, which can be pulled through the perforations in the sails, when it is deemed an advantage to close the holes: but this is rarely done. The British four-masted barque Port Jackson has logged 345 knots In 24 hours with perforated sails. Even the big coastwise schooners in the American trade are beginning to adopt the idea.
