STEAMBOAT TO COMPETE WITH
RAILROAD TRAIN.-ClarlI Smith. of Cora
wall, has just had issued to him letters patent
iOT an endless chain water wheel for propel-
ing steamboats, through the water. Mr. Smith
claims that q boat furnished with wheel
such as he has invented will be driven
through the water at a much greater speed
with the same power. BY the wheel now in
use but few paddles take hold upon the waite.
at the same time. With the endless chain
arrangement nearly onehalf of the paddles
take hold upon the water. IL would be inn
possible for MS TO give a minute description
of this invention. Should it accomplish the
half that the inventor claims, it must revO-
lutioniZe steam navigation. He claims that
boat furnished with his invention can COM
pete with the speed of a railroad train.

FAILURES FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS
Dunn. Barlow & Co.'s mercantile agency has
issued a quarterly circular of failures in the
United States feT the first three months of
1915. These figures show I, 733 failures, with
gross liabilities of SIS, 81, 900, being ONLY
about $4,000 more than one-Quarter of the
amount of the previous year, and nearly
100000 GOO less than for a corresponding pe-
riOd in 1873. Considering the continued de-
preston in numerous interests, the exceed
ing severity of the winter and the lateness of
the spring, the conclusion is said TO be on the
whole encouraging.
