THE H1RUNDlNE PKoPELLER-This propeller

THE HIRUNDINE PKoPELLER.-This propeller
is constructed in the following manner:
A fs', manyjointef or elastic band represents
ing the 'leech, is extended edgewise to the hori-
Zon in a curved undulated line, within a square,
iided chamber or tube, formed through the whole
length of the vessel below the water line and
open at both ends. The vessel is built, without
distinction Of stem stern, to move in either H.
rectoa. The undulatory action ia produced by
rods passing at regular distances from the band
to cranks eccentrics, set in spiral series on
shaft, which runs parsllel to the tube, ard this
at each revolution raises and deprcssos the bank
in a continuous wavelike movement throughout
its entire length BY this process the whole CO.
lumD of water in the tube is discharged with
great impetus from one of the ends and the ship
is impelled onwards in the opposite direction.
