NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SIN.
ALondon correspondent of one Of the
Eastern jourasls mentions that's steamer
had recently made a trial trip in the
Thames, propelled without either paddle
or 5crew, the principle Of propul-
sion being called the Hydraulic Propel-
Water taken in at the bow Of the
vessel, by simple maehinery-itself
by steam-by being elected st
the stern, is made 10 do the work.
Now it appears thisi is not the first ex-
pertinent, by any means, Of the same
method Of propulsion in the Thames.
A boat the invention of 3 south
ern engineer, the Nirginiaa JAMES
RU1IsEY moved by the same process or
power, was tried or the Thames
in February. 1893, with q speed attained
Of four miles to the hour, against wind
and tide. He had, however, previously
tried the same motor on the Potomac in
1857 with suecess despite imperfectly
made machinery. While his English
boat was being buHt BUsrsEv died, and
for lack Of his personal interest, proba-
bly,, the coutrivance came to naught.
Previously, BERNoRILLI, an eminent
French mathematician, had suggested
much the anne principle
and DR.. FBANKLN introduced his
10 the American public after
JoHE FITCH had started the notion Of
steam propulsion. Under FRANKLIN's
patronage society was formed in Phila-
delphia, tofoster and promote RUMsEYs
motor and sent him 70 Europe. FITCHE's
steam-paddle boat was a regular
packet o. the Delaware in 1890, but
for want OF patronage. FrUroN
came later. and under the influence of
his successes FTTcHE's experiments have
comparatively forgotten. We shall
await with interest for the experiments
this English revivalO Of RUMsEY's
a~daptation Of the suggestion of BERNo-
RILLIs principle.
