Something New in Steam Navigation.

Yesterday friend of mine from In.
diana took me to see a wonderful ship
or steamboat on the Harlem River, bic
enough to get on it and take ride,
which l did. 1t is called the buoyant
propeller, and consists of a steamboat
fifteen or twenty feet long, propelled
on globes of air. AS you draw near YOU
see three large yellowish globes, made
of sheet-iron, revolving on an axle
like any other Wheel There are little
f1anges protruding from the ia globes,
which are also paddle-wheels. An en-
CINE on the deck makes these two axles
revolve, the front axle having only one
globe wheel on it and the rear axle
having two. As they revolye any leak
age into the wheel is discharged at the
axle. Consequently they can never ill.
The inventor, a Mr.. Fryer, formerly an
engineer at Nashville, means to build a
ship this winter for ocean service on
this plan somewhere on the Hudson
River, which will be 255 feet long and
have state-room Accommodations for
-225 people.--The present ship moves
on globes onlygsix feet in, diameter but
the new ship Is to be built on enormous
globes The theory is that such a YES.
sci will make from twenty to forty miles
an hour, an arc being presented at every
point there will be no slippage. sup.

The Doctor.

The doctor, children, is known by
the letters ''M. d." which follow HE
name. Although it is an M. ID. title,
letters remember it. 'nll
The doctor is generally attached to
one of several schools, but some of
them, it is suspected, were never con-
nected with any kind of school. "a
The medical profession is not an ex-
act science, but the medical practi.
toner seldom fails to exact his fee.
The doctor is man of feeling. He
invariably feels the pulse of his patient.
He is quite connoisseur in the mat
ter of tongues. No tongue can tell
what he sees in it to admire, as no
sounds go with the tongues under his
examination. st rt tas VI. "a
The successful physician studies the
likes and dislikes of his patient, and
prescribes accordingly. Every patient
knows what he wants He goes to the
doctor simply for cumulative evidence.
1.-The doctor was formerly called o
leech. The leech is a great bleeder.
There are several kinds of cures nrac-
ticed by physicians. There is the water
cure. We shall not have full faith in
this cure, however, until the hydrant
water is cured of its bad taste and smell.
s5 The movement cure is low rents.
The physician diploma is written in
Latin. Latin is aidead language. So
is the language of a large part of the
doctor 3 patients after he has got
. through with them.
y Most people would think pulse moor
living, but IL it'were not for the pulse
it would 60 hard with the doctor. ~ T.
|. iaAi,doctor is always calm, Hi, does
not get heated, even when he comes to
the boil. '@lN21TfTg I
We are sorry to say that the doctor
IS mot "a genial character. I He cuts his
best friends as well as his enemies,
However he is the first to aid us upon
our advent into this world, and can al
ways be depended upon to help us into
the next.
When everybody is wise or every
body dead, the doctor will have to rive
up doctoring.
We do not intend to call the doctor
names. We simply call the doctor. >
