STEAM ON The CANALs.

It has long been On object OF the highest import
ance to our canal interests to discover means OF
using steam power instead OF the ordinary towage
by horses for propelling boats Oh tho Erie Canal.
The difficulty has always been to prevent the wash
ing away OF the banks, which attended all expert
ments In the use OF steam power. We learn from
the Rochid,ad county Journal that boat has
boen designed and built to obvIate that
objection and that the experiment has been
quite successful The plan on which 1t Is
built Is the arrangement OF an ordinary screw pro-
peller In cavity opening situated in the centre
Of the bow Of the boat. This opening Is tapering In
shape and terminates about twenty feet from the
bow. Tho propeller is driven BY simple up
twelvcinch stroke, which is supplied BY steam from
an upright boiler four feet In diameter nv ten
feet high, and the boiler Is fed by an upright
steam pump the whole being very compact and
occupying space on the door Of the boat only ten
by four feet, and including water In the boiler
weighs only six tons. The opening Tor the screw
reduces the displacement only six tons, so that the
application OF steam power reduces the carrying
CAPACITY only twelve tons. me consumption OF fuel
will be one ton of coal In twenty-four hours. Tho
action of the screw on recent trial has been found
to draw current into the opening at the bow. force
1t along under the bottom and replace 1t al the sern
thus allowing the vessel to glide along without
maAina any commOtlon In the water.

From Sketches in India.l
Ii Is much 10 be desired that some
musician. not repealed by the uneouth
nerformance of native bands, should
Investigate the higher order OF Hindoo
music. and especially the sixty Rags,
with their accompanying Droopud and
other modes Of song. Many OF these are
curious and beautiful, especially the
music OF Raiapootana and Northern In
ala which has national character. IL
Is generally supposed by Europeans that
The music of India has no science, but
this Is great error. The scale Of eight
notes Is the same as that Of Europe, but
the division Of the notes into semi and
quarter notes produce those mournful
cadences in the minor keys which are
often strikingly beautiful The Hindoo
scientific works contain many elaborate
treatises on music, which are read and
taught by professors Of. singing aud IN

Minis. Among these, and Mohammedans
