the new principle Of steam propulsion:
considerable interest has been excited in Ed

lately launched at Granton, for deep sea fishing,
as demonstrating the practcability of new prin.
cpe of steam propulsion, superseding both the
screw and the paddle, and IS likely to effect, in
some degree a revolution in the art of steam nav
igation The vessel is 100 feet long, with engines
Of 30 horse power. Externally there is nothing to
distinguish il from sailing vessel, except the pre-
sence ON each side of the huh of a curved pipe 10
inches in diameter, termed a nozzle communi-
eating with water-tight iron case inside. In the
bottom of the vessel are apertures admitting the
water into the watertght case with a horizontal
wheel fixed on crankshaft attached by piston
rods TO the engine, and, on the steam being APP
piled the water-whecl revolves with velocity, and
the water is discharged by the nozzles on each
side Of the vessel. These form the only propeng
power. and the invention is remarkable for its sim.
plioity aud effect. Messrs. Ruthven, of Edinburgh
