Gus writer in "Saxby's Travellers Maya

Der of that publication. to Caricature
Col. L. s Brown. the general agent Of
the Southern Railway, and who has his
headquarters in this city. Colonel Brown
is known throughout the railroad world,
and his fully developed, white mustache
is a distinctive mark remembered by
all who meet him. The caricature of the
colonel in the magazine shows a mus
tache OF usual proportions. and depicts
the colonel wearing a checkered suit OF
clothes OF a pattern that would cause
the colonel's friends TO think he was
beside himself. Accompanying the carl
cature is pen picture which even the
colonel thinks a little bit better than
a modest man, as he is. merits. II reads
as follows:

RUN SHIPS BY NEW PLAN
Inventor Says They Can Be Pulled
Faster Than Pushed.
PUTS THE PROPELLER IN FRONT.
Tho Invention is Regarded as Freak y the
Mechanics aud Shlpbuilders Before Whom
Tie Has Exhibited 1.-THE Inventor Pro-
poses to Place the Propeller, Wheels or
Screws at the Bow Instead Of the Stern.

Newport News, Va. (SpeciaD will
the steamships Of the future be pulled,
instead of pushed along, as at present.
This question has been answered in
the affirmative by A. II. Gilmore, the
former business manager OF the FIRST
morning paper ever published in New
port News. Mr., Gilmore has just made
application to the patent Office at Wash
ington for patents on remarkable IN
vention which he believes will rcvolu-
tionize navigation by steam power
The invention is regarded as freak
bv the mechanics and shipbuilders here
before whom he has exhibited it. The
inventor proposes to place the propeller
wheels or screws at the bow instead OF
the 4carn end of the vessel. He claims
that the device will produce double the
present speed at about onc-half the cost
81 firmly believe he said, that have
solved the problem OF rapid transit by
water. The principle OF my invention Is
very simple A cart can be drawn much
more easily than it can be pushed. Now
that's exactly what | propose to do to
the steamboat. Don't push it pull 1t
1t will go much faster at less expense
"Thc propclcrs are placed at the front
end OF the boat OF course they are dii
fercntly constructed from those now III
use at the stern. am afraid to describe
them before | receive my patents. can
say, however, that the boat will be drawn
along by suction. On large vessel, the
device will extend fifteen or twenty tect
in front Of the bow and will create a
vacuum which the boat must naturally
follow.
Il believe the invention attached to a
warship like the Maryland now beng
built at the sh;pyard, would give her an
average speed OF thirty or thirty,,hv,c
knots. instead of the twenty knots whicn
she will make. have tried it OH small
boat here in Newport News and the sue
cess of the trial has convinced me ina,
It is entirely practicable, | have mad
several offers for it. but will not sell /
hope to be able TO exhibit the device at
the St. Louis fair next year.
