STEAM OUTDoNE. An officer of the
British Navy announces his invention Of
propelling boats through the water, at the
rate of one hundred miles per hour! For
this contrivance he has obtained a patent
and challenges all the scientific world to
examine the machinery and operations of a
boat which he has constructed to move at
this rate. Thus, we shall be enabled to
cross the Atlantic in day and half and
might reach the moon, provided one could
go by water, in the course of one hundred
days. In these voyages it will be very un-
safe to wear wigs. This invention approx
mates nearer to perpetual motion than any
thing yet developed.-Boston Euen. Bulletin.
AIR BEDS. 1t appears this invention is
neither of recent Or European origin. 1t is
said to have been successfully applied by the
late Chancellor Livingston of this State.

introduced them into his armies for the SER
