STEAM on CANALs.-rhe State Engineer
OF New York recommends that authority
be given to the Canal Board OF that
State to employ competent engineer to
prepare plans for the bes, boat, with machinery
complete, 10 be placed on the canals for trial at
the earliest noment. Mr.. Van X. Richmond is
of opinion that inventions have reached stage
where early success will be attained, If the State
will supply The moderate aid required for such
construction Of boat. A patent has just been
issued for steam propeller for q canal boat,
designed to avoid the washing away OF canal
banks. 1t is the invention of Scotch mechanic
at Piermont, y. Y. The screw Of the propeller
is placed under the bow Of the boat, and draws
the water under in such manner that so far
as can be seen by the working of the model no
waves, current, eddy, or wash is perceptlble in
the wake of the boat.
