New Invention.
We have known for the last two years that
Norman Wizard, Esq, Of Janesville, Wiecon-
Sin, has been engaged with the enthusiasm
characteristic Of inventors in per{ec.iux q
plan for IN ice boat to be propelled by steam,
to navigate our northern rivera, Like many
others We coufeas TO q prudent scepticism in re-
gard to the practicaoility Of the project; but
Whatever views We or the public may choose to
entertain, the plan is soon to be put to the test
ofpractical experiment.
During the past winter Mr. Wizard has been in
New York. and b5 the aid Of Some Of the largest
and most intelligent capitalists in that city, has
constructed au ice boat which ls now being put
together at Prairie du Chen. In two OF three
weeks it is expected that all will be ready for
the trial up the Mississippi.
The boat is built Of iron and is seyenty-two
feet long BY twelve feet broad, with fiat bottom.
and two keels running the whole length. II it
breaks through the ice or encounters an air-hole,
machinery is prepared, which. in fen minutes.
puts its again on the ice ready for onward pro.
Rress. The driving-wheells near the stern, and
the inventor calculates the ordinary speed on the
ice at twenty to forty miles An hour, and with
clear solid ics he believes his vessel can easily
be msde to attaiu speed Of eighty miles The
cabin is twelve by forty feet and the capacity Of
the boat is rated at one hundred passengers and
i've tons Of freight. Tbs entire boat, when load
ed with passengers md cargo, is calculated TO
weigh thirty-two tons.
