PROPELLED BY HER PUMPS.
Boat Driven Through the Water by
Jets of Water.

Jets of Water.
A novelty in the construction OF ma
rine craft is shown in q recent patent
grant covering the design of boat
propelled and steered by jets of water.
Instead Of engines to drive screws and
propellers, pumps are employed, and
the boat driven by the action of jets
of water taken in at the bow and
elected at the stern.
These pumps are suitably located
within the hold of the vessel, and each
is provided with an intake-tube, which
runs forwardly to a point near tle bow
Of the vessel, where there are suit
able openings through which the pipes
may receive water, the said openings,
of course, being arranged below the
water line. The inlet-ports at the ends
of these pipes are controlled by valves
operated from some convenient point.
Extending from each of the pumps
is a tube which is curved so as to find
an opening at the side of the vessel
AAN1'A viz lOA w 81 u Jell lAACASoAs NAAS Wv
let portion Of the tube being directed
forwardly, as shown by an arrow. Thus
water which is forced through the tube
will be so directed as 10 propel the
boat rearwardly, as in backing. An
other pipe also extends rearwardly
from each pump, and this pipe is pre-
ferably divided into two branches. One
branch extends outwardly through the
side of the vessel at a point near the
bow, while the other extends rearward'
ly in the svessel a considerable dis
lance, finding an outlet near the stern
OF the boat, and jets issuing from
there will propel the boat forward
Other openings at the side and stern
have the effect of changing the course
of the craft. In experiments WITH a
boat of this character it was demon
strated that she could be turned in heI
own length, which is an achievement
Of some Importance.

Sir edward cIarke,s Career.

Sir Edward Clarke was predestined
in youth neither for law nor politics
but for the less ambitious career of a
commercial traveller. His father was
q goldsmith and jeweler in London, and
Edward spent his time from Is to IT
wears old in learning the business"
But his heart was evidently not
there, for ne tells how, even at school,
the first book ne ever bought with his
own pocket money was Brougham's
Lives eff Statesmen, in three volumes.
The consumption of such fare by a 70.
year-old boy is proof enough of an
early hankering after politics. Sir Ed
ward would most likely have distin-
guished himself in any career, for his
old friend, Sir Henry Irving, is fond
of declaring with emphasis that he
would have done brilliantly at the
Lyceum. ''-Tit-Bits.
