R PROPULSION.
A Substitute for the Screw and Paddles.

NEW York, Nov. 23.-The Secor propel-
lor, "Eureka," will be launched at Poilleons
shipyard, Brooklyn, tomorrow. The boas
and machinery have been entirely rebuilt
All indications point to the success OF the
new system Of marine propulsion. The
"Eurska" 10 100 feet long. Her bulkhesd
divides amidships. The machinery 10 placed
at, Immediately against the rudder post, and
does not take up moro than - square feet.
In Secor's system propulsion is effected by
direct reaction against the external water Of
gaseous products Of successive explosions Of
fuel, gas aud air issuing from submerged
tubes. The machinery consists Of q series
Of heavy steel cylinders, the ends or muzzles
of which are open and are in direct contact
with the water surrounding the vessel.
These cylinders contain no internal ma
chlnery whatever, but are filed with air and
indammable gas or bydro-carbon exploded
by tho agency Of electricity, and which forces
the vessel forward or backward At will. A
reversal in either direction Is effected by
opening suitable gate valves at each end Of
the cylinder. The continuity of action is
obtained by means Of = number Of chambers
from which discharges occur, not simultane-
o..sly, but In we'll. defined rotation. The
electric spark, which causes the combustion,
is generated between two electrodes which
feed and regulate automatically, and are so
arranged in pairs that should an accident
happen to one 1t Is Immediately thrown out
of the circuit and automatica. ly replaced by
its perfect mate. The current is derived
from its storage battery.

willie, KY: The next Kentucky legislature
will be called upon to elect . successor to
j. c. s. Blackburn, in the United States.
Senate. Among the contestants TO, the Office
are Senator Blackburn, Speaker Carlisle,
Congressman McCleary, Ex-C Congressman
Brown, and Gov. Buckner. Senator Black
burn has possibly the advantage. He is In
possession, which is = powerful lever towards
reelection. His following is already orga-
nized and he has made himself popular with
the people. Carlisle has 10 money to spend
and is not the politician that Blackburn is.
He is altogether of . different type but his
great ability and National reputation for
honesty and 6rmness has given him . deep
hold upon the people. If he wants to be
Senator and will say so it does not seem
likely that Blackburn can defeat him with
oil his arts and al his powerful friends.
Moreover II he enters the race bis candidacy
will mean possibly the withdrawal of the
other men with the possible exception Of
Blackburn.
