A canal boat, propelled by steam by
means Of a screw placed at the bow, has
been tested on the Erie canal with salts
factory results. The action Of the screw
on the trial has been found to draw a cur
rent into the opening at the bow, force it
along under the bottom, and rsplsce it at
the stern, thus allowing the boat 70 glide
along without Masking any cOmmOtiOn in
the water. Among the advantages
claimed for it are, that loaded boat can
be run Y miles per day, on one ton OF
coal, costing s., while the towing for
hOrse-b boats has cost 40 cents per mile this
season, or SIS so for y miles; that the
boats can be run twice as fast as the Ordi-
usrY canal boats without any injurious
action on the canal banks; that 1t can 20
through lock in One-half the time that
a loaded horse boat takes, that suoh a
boat can go on the canal, river or lake
with her own steam, and 20 dispense with
all charges for tOwsge; and that, If de-
sired, this boat will tow one or more
lOadsd boats at a moderate rsts of speed. /
A great deal of ingenuity has been sx-
pended in unsuccessful efforts to apply
steam as q motive power on canals.
