The feasibility of a new plan for propelIinr
boats through the canals by steam is again
being dE cussed. The latest invention was m itle
by Mr.. Goodwin, and consists OF a new steam
boat. propelled by single wheel. and this, in
stead of being OF the ordinary construction
consists of a water-tight drum, having the pad
dies arranged on IL periphery, and they do not
pass straight acro-s the drum, but are arranged
IN V-shaped lines. The sides OF the boats arc
extended forward, and between them is hung
the drum or paddle which We have described
These two sides are thus made ID enclose the
entire depil and breadth OF water to be dis
placed, 30 that when the wheel is put in
motion the boat - not forced against the
water which lies in front OF II, thereby piIing
the water up and throwing it Off against the
banks, but, Instead of this, the water is drawn
in under the wheel and forced under the bottom
OF tie boat, being discharged at the rear end.
80 that the water, instead of being higher in
front Of the boat, j. actually found to be highest
behind IL In this way, instead of the boat
having - displace large amount of water by
sheer pressure at the bow, thereby piIing tn,
water up and thus opposing a most powerful
resistance, the water is displaced by the action
OF the wheel and passes under the boat There
has been considerable experimenting with
steam motion upon the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, bat not altogether with the desired suc
cess. and II remains TO be seen il the desifera-
tum il really attained in the allow named
invention.
