AN AMPHIBIOUS STEAMBOAT.
A Little Steamer That Runs Both on
Land and Water.

Various devices have been patented for
transporting vessels across narrow 18th
muses. which interrupt an otherwise un-
broken ocean voyage. The latest Is that OF
a Swedish engineer. c. ]. Msgneil, of whose
plan 10 make the boat locomotive on both
sea and land the London Graphic gives an
interesting account.
The steamer when on land runs on rails
just as train does. the motive power be-
Ing the same that turns the propeller. Mr..
Magnets steamer is called the Swan. and
is now at work in the northern part OF the
island OF iceland. in Denmark. 1t performs
its journey ten times daily. and crosses the
intervening isthmus OF dry land in a per-
fectly satisfactory manner every time The
little amphibious boat is about 80 feet long
and feet in the beam, draws feet OF
water. and can accommodate 10 persons.
The engines are q horse power and work
the propeller when the boat is In the water.
BY an ingenious arrangement, as soon as
the steamer approaches the rails the shaft
of the propeller is disconnected from the
engine and the crank shaft OF the driving
wheels becomes connected. A series OF
posts are arranged which insure the safe
guidance Of the boat on to the rails. The
wheels work in water-tight boxes, and 1t is
found these answer very well. The wheels
are or the same size as those ordinarily in
use on railways, while the track is slight
~ iOiOWEG, 10 allow LOT inc hceBs W llCn
projects very slightly below ths level OF
the rails.
When the boat has crossed the tsthmus
and re-enters the water the wheels are
thrown out OF gear and remain locked while
the engine works the propeller. There is
10 perceptibie Earring or Jolting either when
the vessel is coming on TO the rails or leav-
ing them. The steamer Is said TO be a sue
scess in every way, and is proving TO be a
remunerative speculation Whether we
shall live TO see the principle applied to
ocean-going ships is doubtful. especially
when we come to consider the enormous
dead weight OF one OF our Atlantic grey
hounds" But FOR small steamers the idea
is evidently good and practicable. The in
yentor thinks that aufphibious boats OF
this description will be largely used IN
countries like Sweden, Finland and tho
Baltic provinces OF Russia and Germany.
where there are so many lakes and arms
OF the sea separated by low-lying necks OF
land. That the invention is believed In by
the people Of Denmark is evident from the
fact that several more OF these railway
steamers have been ordered.
