AN ODD PRoBLEM.-The New York World
says it is a curious fact that the most difficult
problem OF steam navigation is that whose So
luton was first attempted. The first expert
mental steamboats, were tried upon the canals
OF Scotland and abandoned because the agita-
tlop OF the water by the paddle-whees destroy
ed the banks of the canals. A few years later
Robert Fulton successfully used the steamboat
10Y commercial transportation on the Hudson
river, between New York and Albany. And
now 1t appears that steam is likely soon to be
used on the canals which connect the Hudson
with the waters of the great lakes. The New
York Assembly has passed bill authorizing
tne state Comptroller to pay to two inventors
the aggregate sum OF $4,000 for placing ON the
canals of the State ten steamboats, similar to
models exhibited at the competitive trial of last
wear
