S28,OOO,OOO FOR AN IDEA.
British Admiralty VIII Pay that for Il
Yankee Invention.

NEW YORK, Jan 9O-H. NJ. Buck, a
Matchmaker of Thompsonville, Conn, has
invented rotary cylinder which is designed
to increase the speed of steamships 50 per
cent. and at the same time do away entirely
with the vibration of vessels. His method
is to utilize all the expansion of steam for
driving power, thus avoiding the waste,
which in the cylinders now in use is COM
puted at SO per cent. 1t is this waste which
requires the enormous coal consumption of
modern steam vessels and the appropriation
Of an abnormally large space in the vessel S
hull for coal bunlIers
Mr.. Buck mas opened negotiations with the
British government. AS a result an engineer
came here from England about one month
ago and met Mr.. buck and saw his model.
Inc British agent tested ii very thoroughly
and approved it. He went back to England
about Two weeks ago, taking a duplicate
model with him, having first acting IN ac-
cordance with his instructions, made the
following contract with the inventor:
THE board of admiralty is to construct
a cylinder and test il thoroughly for six
days. If at the end of this time it be adj
judged successful, Mr.. Buck is to get SO, &C.,
COO. Ii a second test of sixty days is likewise
successful he is to get an additional 5000 80
and a final successful test of ninety days
duration is to bring an additional $1,000 90,
or $z0,0V0,CC0 in all. 1t is the purpose of the
British government to use the cylinder in
their WarShipS."
