The following il an act passed in JuIy ammo.
nrioting money for imnroyinr navipation on the
Western waters 1t is very important that the
works of improvement should be commenced as
early rs nossible The water in the Mssissippi
and Ohio is getting down to its low ebb The
had sand hars in the Ohio ought to be cut out and
the many dangerous snags that impede and make
navigation Of the great father of waters perilous
and dangerous in low water, should be cleaned
ont. The work of two or three snagboats on the
Mississippi would save many fine steamers:
NEW METHOD OF PRorELLING STEAM YES
sELs.-Kinkle & Hubbes new method of propel-
ling steam vessels consists generally in the APP
plication of the reactionary power Of the water
The propulsion Of steam vessels by means of
wheels or screws has probably attained its high
est perfection the velocity Of ships propelled by
these means not being capable of great increase
for the reason that great velocity in violating
wheels or screws necessarily reacts upon the yes
sci and requires proportionate increase of
strength in the construction of the hull, which
again tends to counterbalance the velocity of the
