I am no advocate for deep keels; I do not think they possess any advantage to compensate their inconvenience. I have seen vessels whose keels have extended to nearly half the whole draught, but have not found their performance so far superior to otliers where the keel was not more than the third or fourth of the draught. I have also seen a small vessel very much after the construction proposed by Philo-Naut, but I cannot say that I was pleased with her behaviour. However, wlien FLAT ROOFS--Am STOVES. all has been said and done, much, I think, will depend upon the kind of rig; even in placing the masts there is room for the exercise of some considerable judgment. A change in the mode of setting the same quantity of canvas will make considerable alteration in the sailing qualities of the same vessel. To conclude: Whether our vessel be short or full under water in the midship, I should entertain no doubt of her good behaviour, if only her water-lilies be made to fall easily and gradually, and her floor rise regularly fore aud aft. With respect to the main frame, the size of the Vessel may be allowed to influence us in some degree; we may set it up, perhaps, somewhat sharper in a larger vessel; the other claims the frst of our care in every dimension, t is strange that none of our mathematicians have thought of investigating a curve of least resistance suitable to this case. Such a curve may certainly be found; and I ain much mistaken in my estimate of the wisdom displayed in the works of Nature, if every jink that swims does not happen to be constructed upon tins very outline.
