A Novel Addi,ion 10 a steamboat.

made several years ago, by Robert L. Stevens Esq,
for application 10 steamboats,. An iron boat has
been built by the Messrs Stevens, at Hoboken,
for the purpose of testing the experiment. which will
probably take place in few days. The boat, which
has been named the John Nelson, after an old resi-
dent of New Brunswick, is 230 feet in length, 80
feet BEAM and 81 feet the guards, with nine
feet depth of hold. She has powerful engine, with
cylinder Sc inches and II feet stroke; her wheels
arc 80 feet in diameter and II feet face. The hull is
bulk in peculiar manner 10 allow the application
OF The principle, having fanges eight inches in
Depth running her whole length. She is furnished
with separate engine, working a powerful force
pump, which drives air through pipes to the hanges
referred TO- the bow Of the boat. The air, It \!
calculated will displace the water along the inverted
cutters formed between these fanges, and passing
along, find lis way out at the stern The bow OF the
boat sharp and well adapted for speed but the stern
is nearly square, but inclined like the end Of scow,
and the guards extend over concealing this deiorm,

will increase her buoyancy, lessen the draught OF
water and enable her TO glide along with less resst'
ance than in boats Of the ordinary construction.
