whelming proof of the independence of the

long time as the London workmen have done.
But we now, learn, and from the same journal,
the frightful cost of the movement to some of

Experiments with the Winans
Steamer.

The following statement in regard to
this vessel has been furnished the Bal.
timoro papers, by the builders:
The vessel is being built for the pur.
pose Of testing and maturing its pecu.
liarities. AS one of the means of doing
this we constructed our propelling wheel
so as to enable the angle, number and
size Of the propelliDg blades to be read
lily varied with a view Of determining
by actual trial and angle, the size and
number Of blades best suited to its plan
and position.
Being desirous of not losing in our ul-
innate experiments any advantage that
may be had from our peculiar propeller,
when a proper adjustment Of it is had,
our first experiments will be directed to
this object. The form and construction
Of the hull of our vessel enable a great
er length and degree of sharpness to be
given to it, (while due strength and
form is preserved) than has been deem
ed practicable for seu-going vessels of
the ordinary modes Of construction.
1t therefore becomes matter Of great
interest to ascertain perimentally how
far length and sharpness Of vessel will
serve the purpose of speed and econo-
my Of transportation by sea. In view
Of this we have constructed our vessel
so that its length may be varied with
facility. Being desirous that our ex,
pcrimeutal vessel shall serve as fully as
so small a vessel may, to determine prac-
tically the value of each Of its peculiar
features separately as well as jointly, we
propose, after we have matured our
wheel, and experimental both in smooth
and rough water, with our present form
of vessel, to alter both the length and
degree of sharpness, for the purpose of
ascertaining by actual trial the best de-
gree of ofsharpnoss and length for YES
sci of this size, which will be material
to us in prOportiouing vessels of a lar
ger class,
