Water Propulsion.

No plan yet proposed for substi-
tuting jet boat propulsion for the
screw or paddle wheels seems likely
to realize the efficiency needed in
such case. The chief reason assigned
for this is that the power in a boat
or self-navigating ship is not applied
quite as on the locomotive; that is
the driving-wheels of an engine take
hold Of n fixed base, and thrust
against it, or a series of such basis,
all the while, but the mechani-
cal appliances used in propelling a
vessel at sea act upon an extremely
mobile mass-somcthing that tends
to slip, and does to some extent
slip away from them. 1t is, in fact,
only because the weight or inertia
OF the portion Immediately in con-
tact with the oar, paddle wheel, or
screw, offers some resistance, that
any Roadway is secured, and the
larger the watery bulk acted upon,
the more stable il will be and hence
the more progress will be secured.
On the other hand, an equal amount
of power may be consumed in moving
a little water a great distance astern
and a large amount "A small dis
tance; in the former case, however,
the leverage being almost lost, while
in the latter il is largely retained,
consequently it is desirable to apply
the power SO as to strike broad sur
faces rather slowly instead Of small
ones with great velocity. A minor
consideration mentioned is that in
the Jet system, water has to be pumped
into the moving vessel before il is
elected. and a certain amount of force
must be consumed in giving to il in
the interval the forward motion which
every other object inside the craft
has; this substracts from the amount
of power available for propulsion.-

a Strange uns

On the north coast of Norway little
boys and girls see very queer sunsets.
You will notice in III Owl State,
saysthc Indiana Farmer, that the sun
ut this season is very far to the south,
rs we say, and instead of rising and
going over our heads at noontime it
seems to describe Il circle near the
horizon. Farther north this is more
apparent, and at some seasons il does
not disappear from sight during the
entire twcnty-four hours.
A writer who visited the North Sea
of Norway the past summer, writes 4:
Imagine yourself on Il ship at an
Choir, looking west or straight in front
OF YOU. There is Il broad eXpanse Of
sea n little to your right hand, behind
YOU will he the rugged coast, and to
the left the long, narrow ford between
the islanAS and the mainland that the
steamer has Just traversed. You watch
the sun ms il slowly, slowly sets; the
island and the coasts look n rich,
dark purple, and the shadows cast by
the ships masts grow longer and
longer.
After a bit, when the sun has set
apparently twelve feet from the hori-
zon. il stops and seems to remain
stationary for about twenty minutes 4;
then the very sea gulls hide away,
while the air all Of a sudden becomes
chilly. Each one has an awed, en-
pectant feeling, and surrounding the
steamer broods n silence that may be
felt. Soon the sun rises very slowly
again, and the yellow clouds change
with its uprising to even greater
beauty, first TO the palest primrose
and then to u blush pink. The sky,
which was Just now rose color, becomes
gray, then pale emerald green, and
lastly blue. Rock after rock stands
out, caught by the SUMS bright rays
and the reign OF day has begun once
more"
