. The "Lokal Anzeiger" states that at. the Congress of Shipbuilding Engineers, Herr Frahrn read a paper demonstrating upon a model the efl'ccts of his invention of n pitching tank., which consists of U-shaped tanks extending from port to starboard-through the hold. Tlio water in them rises and falls as the ship rolls, so as to neutralise the rhythmical movement of the latter. The tanks have been tested on two Hamburg-America liners, the Ypiranga and.the Corcovado. These vessels plying between Bcunos Ayres and Hnrnburg this summer without tanks rolled up to eleven degrees on. each beam. This was reduced to two degrees when the tanks were in operation. Tho RamburgAmerica Lino has directeil tanks to bo placed iu the 60,000 tons steamer recently ordered.
