A SHIP TO RUN ON ROLLERS.
The Ocean Steamer Proposed by a
Q French Engineer.

IL these days of revolutionary pro
iects in matters mechanical and
scientific unusual engineering ex-
ploits have lost much Of their tend
ency to create surprise, says the New
York Press. Still, that sensation
may be produced in mild degree by
the latest scheme of ocean transport
alton which has reached US from
France, and which has NJ. Bazin, not
unknown in engineering circles, for
its author.
Nj. Bazin proposes, In brief, to
build an Atlantic liner on eight roll
ers, with the view of securing speed
much higher than any thus far
attained, arguing that the wheels or
rollers on which the vessel is to rest
will SO greatly diminish the resistance
offered by the waves that thirty knots
an hour will be easily within the
bounds of possibility, and will enable
the passage from Southampton or
Liverpool to New York to be made
in four days.
The rollers are to enter the water
to a depth of about twentysix feet
and revolve within platform placed
about twenty-four feet above the
water, so that there will be rolling
instead of a gliding body, as IN the
case of ordinary ships. The rollers
presumably are to be worked by
engines to secure propulsion.
Nj. Balm claims to have settled by
experiment that the stability of the
roller type, of vessel is at least as
great as that of the ordinary
type and believes that the con-
struction of his design of ship will
be much less costly than that of the
usual description.
According to French report it is
proposed to put Nj. Bazin's plans to
a practical test by constructing a
vessel about 400 feet long and of a
bout ninety feet beam, with rollers
seventy five in diameter and thirty
five feet wide. The latter are to
make twenty-five revolutions per
minute.
