A Boat Suit in Alaska.

During this last winter on the Yukon
Mr.. Farciot performed task which it
will be hard to find equalled in the his
tory of mechanics. He built q boat
and an engine with which to propel it,
having at his disposal only the wood
obtainable in the vicinity. few
lengths of gas-pipe. taken from this
city to be used in mining operations,
one or two files and ratchet, with a
few wood-cutting tools. With such
materials and tools he constructed
propeller which carried him at the rate
Of seven knots an hour twelve hundred
miles, and which can now be seen in
the machinery department of the Me-
chanics' Pavilion, where it was placed
few days ago. The engine is COM
posed wholly of pieces of gas-pipe, as
one can see BY inspecting it. The cyl
inder is gas-pipe, the rods and all the
iron work are gas-pipe. except the pro-
peller and its center, the former being
beaten iron and the latter iron nuts. 1t
is as ingenious piece of mechanism as
was ever built. and has proved as eff
fective as it is ingenious. He intended
to place the engine in bark canoe.
but not being able to build one strong
enough. he constructed wooden boat
about fifteen feet long. in which he
made the descent of the Yukon to its
mouth, and thence around by sea to
st. Michaels. During this trip by sea
he encountered a storm which made an
old sea capita n who accompanied him
shed tears of alarm as salt as the spray
with which he was deluged. But the
little propeller brought both safe to
port. and was subsequently brought
down to San Francisco by Lieutenant
Stoney. Francisco Bulletin.
