ACTION OF THE WAVES.
New Sxstem Utiiizes II for the Pro-
puIsiOn of Boats.

Anew motive power for driyinga boat
has been put into use by Secretary Lin
den, of the geological garden at Naples.
To the observer the little craft is a
mystery. Neither sail, oar, engine nor
smokestack are visible. a mar sits
calmly at the rudder and steers the
boat wherever he wills.
All the more remarkable is the mo-
ton because it Is the result of no power
in the boat but rather of the movements
OF the waves themselves, and the higher
the waves the more rapid IL the boat.
Secretary Linden was led to adopt
this method Of propulsion from OBJ
serving the movements Of fishes at the
aquarium, The tail motion in particu-
lar attracted his attention. After many
years of experiment. be has adopted a
plan Of extreme simplicity. From
end Of the boat a steel rod ex-
tends down into the water. At their
lower ends are attached horizontal fins
Of flexible steel plate.
Every movement of the wave causes
these plates to vibrate ZIP and down in

of the dolphin's tail fin. For a boat
10 feet long the two fins have ten square

that the best size is one-third the sur
