ROLLS THROUGH WATER.
The Wonderful Bazin Boat Which Was

liC w OuUtTlQi oallh OOtb w AiSh Woo
Recently Launched.
Z The roller boat designed by NJ. Bazin,
IL French marine engineer, and which was
launched on Wednesday in Paris, will be
given n practical test on the English
channel, and If the hopes of the designer
are realized, the experiment will result
in revolution in marine construction.
The boat is a large rectangular iron box
about 100 feet in length, 40 feet wide and
five feet high. 1t is mounted on six
lenticular disks or rollers 80 feet in diam
eter and sunk in the Water ten feet, while
the lower floor of the box is at an equal
distance from the level of the water. In
the side of the box is the machinery,
which is $50 horse power. This sets in
motion the screws and rollers.
In the upper part of the vessel, between
the disks, which pierce the box and ex-
tend beyond it about seven feet, are com
Portable cabins. This strange looking yes
sci has displacement of $50 tons.
NJ. Bazin's first experiments were
made with II small model, the rollers of
which were worked by clock work, the
propeller being replaced by u weight,
which was attached by IA string passing
over a pulley to the front of the boat.
When the rollers were not working the
miniature boat took twenty two seconds
10 Cross lrOHn one size or the large vessel
in which it was placed to the other side.
When they were working it took only
eleven seconds.
AS the power necessary to keep the
rollers at work is only one quarter of the
power that is required to keep the screw
going the mathematical result is that
the speed of the vessel is doubled by an
extra expenditure of power which
amounts to only one quarter But Vast
increase in speed is not.the only advan-
tage claimed for these rolling steamers.
1t is pointed out that when they she'll be
used the length of voyages will be dimin-
lshed, the consumption of coal VII be
lessened, and, rs IL natural result, passen-
gers and freight will be transported at
far less expense than heretofore
Moreover, the experts assert that the
stability of the rolling boats will be far
greater than that of the steam vessels mt
present i'll use 1t is also asserted that
the catastrophes at sea would practically
cease by the use of rollers. 2 In case Of Il
COILS or other accident, though some
OF the rollers might be damaged, some
would almost certainly escape damage,
and two would suffice to keep the vessel
aiioat and take her into port sar,r h:Es
NJ. Balm expects the boat to make from
forty-five to fifty kilometers an hour
while crossing the channel. The theory
OF the inventor is that it should roll
over the water instead of cutting through
it. gig SSkstsssss, =.
He has designed large steamer on the
same principle, which he estimates will
make the voyage from Havre to New
York in four days.
