A new idea for the attachment of boat;' rudders has just been patented by Captain R. M. Heddle. of the ■hip Loch Rannoeh, at present in the A T ietoria deck, West Melbourne. The invention applies equaiiv to two-eii'ded boats arid those with a square stern. The attachment consists of a strong gtih-irietal tube or slot affixed to the stem of the boat from ton to bottom, inst- where tho gudgeons of a boat are usually placed. Working freely in this tube or slot is a gudgeon-bar, which slides up and down, and to this the redder is permanently attached. Tlio sliding b.ir has a hanrlie, which is irra-ipetl when shipning the r.mdcr end the bar, when entered at the top of the l ;slot, Is let go. Tho "\vliole arrangement, rudder and all. is then in gear, and there is none of that fumbling or trouble so common when endeavouring to get the rudder pintle ih the lower "udgeon. Tiv apparatus is as easilvsnd offectivelv worked in the roughest seawav as in smoo.it water, and can be manipulated in the dark as well as in the dayli«rht.
