TO obyiatc the objections which exist TO 9th
er modes of steam propulsion, on canal boats,
and to bring it within the requisite demands OF
economy and convenience, Messr> Detrces \
Pral, of Washington, have succeeded in driv
ing canal boat, in which the propellug power
is derived from the reaction or recoil OF water
taken in through pipe at the bow and forced
out through nozzle under the bottom Of the
boat at high velocity. TO effect this they
use '.prars': Automatic Steam Conden>ing
Force Pump" which is constructed without
pistons, pston-rods, &c. As it is driven by the
direct action Of the steam, an engine is dlSpen-
sed with, thus saving cost and the services OF 4
skilled engineer. The pump is 50 simple that
a small boy can attend to it. 1t can be put
upon boat ar less cost than the cost Of a team
of six mules. \ trial of the boat was made IN
the Chesapeake and Ohio, canal above George
town on Tuesday last \ number of gen'le
men were aboard, and al thought the plan
must succeed.
