London Globe.
Last night an interesting trial was
made Of new boat specially adapted for
police purposes, and the inspection and
protection of waterside premises. The
experiments were made on the Thames
round about Westminster Bridge, soon
after S o'clock, where, Notwithstanding
the GOODNESS Of the night, score OF cleo.
tricans and other gentlemen assembled
on the steamboat pier at the solicitation
of Mr.. Reckenzaun, the inventor. The
vessel consists of an electric boat precise.
" similar to that described in the Globe
some months ago. On the bow is fitted
an electric arch lamp of 5000 candle
power (effective), surrounded by power
full reflector, and fitted SO as to be easily
adjusted to any angle Of decllnation.
The electricity necessary for the lamp is
furnished by the same accumulators
which provide for the screw, and are ar
ranged in bunkers, forming seats along
the middle of the boat The vessel, when
charged, is capable of going at rate OF
speed of eight miles for four hours, show
ing light all the time and the cost is
said to be trifiing. The current consists
of fifteen amperes. having force of fifty
volts, and the light is sufficiently power
full to illuminate both banks of the river
with pure white light. The object OF
this particular form OF vessel is the more
effective guarding of river banks,
wharves, ETC., than is possible either in
boats or steam launches. The vessel
runs silently, and owing to its low water
line is practically invisible. The light
can be flashed on or off in a second Of
time, and most etfectually discloses any
thing, however small, within several hun
dred yards. Last nights experiments,
which were very successful. The en-
bankment was crowded with people,
amazed at the phenomenon of so brilliant
light flashing every few moments from
what was, apparently, the middle of the
river!
