KATE OF THE TE A.NAC. It is now practically certain that the old steamer Te Anau will find a resting [dace as an extension to the basin wall at Castled ill, Wanganui. The vessel is now in the bauds ol the ship-breakers, an I it will lie three or four months before she will be available. The main deck will be )r,ft intact, and the vessel sunk (<> the level of the stone wall, and it, will thus be possible to use the bull as a wharf fur the dredge or lighters. At the end of Hm vessel, which will also be the termination of the wall, it is proposed to drive a number of dolphins, which will be of great, assistance in swinging large vessels 'berthing a.i Cast led iff wharf. By utilising the Te Anau it is estimated that it will cost one-lhied of (he cost of the extension built bv stone, and the job will 1-e earned out m a much shorter time.

The reason for the popularity of this instrument with Americans, it is said, is due ia the lack of helmsmen in America today who have been brought up under sail. Few inventions are as delightfully simple in their principle as the mechanical steersman, for it is merely a question of setting a certain course by means of a gyroscopic compass, and as .soon as the ship’s head begins to roam outside the limits of error allowed current runs into til,-, i-.lcel rie steering eugiin: and the fault is rectified at one*.
