A NEW SOHB1n.

Since Jules Verne found play for
. lively imagination in his ''Twenty
Thousand Leagues Under the 6ea,"
there have been those who have seri-
ously considered the pr~cticability Of
building and operating = boat upon
mnch the same principles which gov
erned that in which the imaginative
French author performed his wonder
full v"yages. Cigar shaped boats made
to run under and upon water have been
talked at and written about until the
idea has taken possession Of some
minds not less imaginative than Mi.
Vcrne's that they may be made to per-
form quite - marvellous voyages - the
one which startled the monsters OF the
deep under the guidance Of the Frech-
mans fancy. Among those who, II
seems, has INDUCED in these dreams 10
= distinguished member Of . German
Geographical society who proposes to
reach the North Pole in . cigar
shaped boat. Our dispatches do
not state whether the boat
is to be propelled through the agency Of
electricity or by steam but It b to be
supplied with air by . process which
will insure sufficient quantity Of that
essential while the boat is under water.
1t Is presumed also that the boat will
navigate under the ice when surface
sailing Is obstructed by that barrier and
thus reach the North Pole in spite of
ice, wimi and weather. While the idea
Is not altogether Nm original one it Ger
tainly !" daring one and ii there can
be found fools enough, to furnish money
to build the lx,at and other fools to trust
their lives In it, We cannot see why the
one cannot part with his money and the
other with his life upon . wild goose
chase in y cigar~hsped boat a. well
In q vessel 0f common mould. It is
simply q matter of taste.
