IT, A brilliant success in after life as

patriot. he was a failure as a mechan-
zeal genius. While 1t is true that the
buoyant chambers operated in the man
ner outlined by Lincoln In his applica-
ton had some merit. still to have
hoated steamboats, and barges over bars
II would have been necessary to force
the chambers down TO a depth exceed
ing the ordinary draft of the steam
er, thus rendering the invention prac-
tically valuelesS. Moreover. under cir
cumstances and conditions the most
favorable, the four buoyant chambers
would have proved such a clog to the
vessels progress as TO have been a
positive nuisance. River men recog-
niZed the weak points Of his Invention

length of the vessel underneath the frst
or lower deck, so that when a bar wqs
reached these "buoyant chambers" as
he calls them, could be pushed down
ward into the water, by means OF
capstan or winch-like ARRANGEMENT, thus
producing the desired results. The re-
sistance OF the water TO the downward
pressure and extension of these cham
bers would. of course. be communicate
TO the vertical shafts, and transmitted
from the latter 10 the timber running
the length Of the boat, thus raising The
bottom Of the vessel higher above the
bed of the stream, and nearer the sur
face the more the air chambers were
pushed downward into the water.
The idea was an unusual one, and in
the conclusion Of his application Lincoln
says:
4 wish to be distinctly understood
that do not intend TO limit myself TO
any particular mechanical ARRANGEMENT
IN combining eXpGnsible buoyant cham
bers placed at the sides of a vessel. with
the main shaft. by means of the sliding
spars, which pass down through he
buoyant chambers, and are made fast TO
their bottoms. and the series OF ropes
and pulleys in such manner that By
turning the main shaft in one direction
the buoyant chambers will be forced
downward Hnto the water, and at the
same time expanded and filled with ali
for buoying up the vessel by the lis
placement OF water; and by turning he
shaft IN an opposite direction the cham |
bers viii be contracted into a small |
space and secured against injury.

ABRAHAM LINCOLNS CAREER AS AN INVENTOR

one of the most original and unusual
inventions ever filed in the Government

patent he describes the child OF his
fertile Imagination as follows:
ITO All Whom 1t May Concern:
BE It known that I. Abraham Lin
coin. OF Springfield. IN the county of
Sangamon. in the State Of Illinois, have
invented a new and improved manner
Of combining adjustable buoyant air
chambers with a steamboat or other
vessel for the purpose OF enabling their
draught of water TO be readily lesseued
10 enable them 20 pass over bars or
through shallow water WITHOUT dis
charging their cargoes; and 1 do here
by declare the following to be a full
clear. and exact description thereof"
etc.
The buoyant chambers which I en-
ploy are constructed in such manner
that they can be expanded so as to
hold c large volume OF air when re-
CURED for use. and can be contracted
cured as soon as their services can be
dispensed with.
The top and bottom of each buoyant
chamber is composed OF plank or metal.
or suitable strength and Stiffness, and
the flexible sides and ends of the cham
bers are composed Of India rubber cloth
or other waterproof fabric, securely
united to the edges and ends OF the top
and bottom of the Chambers"
He then goes on to state that these
accordion-like devices were TO be at
tached to boxlike arrangement. fasten-
ed to the gunwalcs OF the vessel, ami
that from each chamber there would rise
a series OF vertical masts. passing
through holes in the top. and fastened
