The GERMAN MAMMOTH STEAMsHIP.-Mr Ger
main completed his course of lectures in Cleveland
Ohio, on his projected mammoth steamship, on Fri
day evening last The Herald of that date, report
ing the third of the series, says:
The speaker continued the subject of ocean navi-
cation by means of his mammoth steamer, explain
ing the to be made of the fin projections upon
the sides as surface condensers; that high-pres
engines can be used and have all the advan-
tages of condensing engines. Thus the fresh water
with which she leaves port will be used throughout
the voyage. 1t is proposed to first build boat for
the Hudson river about $50 feet in length, to cost
about $500, 000 This would be calculated for so
miles an hour If successful, the larger boats will
only be question of time.
This evening the last lecture will be delivered
The chief point considered will be the subject of
applying the principle to the lake navigation We
find the following in the Buffalo Erpress
By virtue of the power vested in me as chair
man of the meeting of the citizens of Buffalo, to
