Strange Graft.

Charles Martell, a French Canadian
carpenter living on the Mississippi
River levee at the foot of Ferry street
North st. Louis, has invented and ap-
piled for letters patent on a queer
locking rive craft known as a f1oatins
motor and paddle wheel. 1t is now on
the river just below the Merchants
bridge, and there it has attracted the
attention of and elected comment and
speculation from thousands of up-river
excursionists. Its appearance justi1es
the curiosity aroused.
MartelPs floating motor is 4 great
wooden drum, II feet in diameter and
81 feet wide, revolving edgeways in
the water like the wheel of a steam
boat, for indeed the wheel of the
steamboat it is designed to be. It is
surrounded by cataraman boat plat
form, in the center OF which it rests
in the water, and is hitched to the
boat by sliding axle which works up
and down in uprights at either side of
the boat. Thus the wheel and the boat
float on their own separate bottoms.
The motor drum is open only at the
center on each side, where the spokes
cut for the passage of the motor, Mar
tells 750-pound pony, Mig" Once in
side the revolving drum, Mig is hitched
in a pair of shafts and his treadmill
life begins. AS the pony treads the
wheel revolves. If a greater power is
desired more weight is hung on back
weight, which throws the shaft andsthe
pony higher up the opposite side of the
drum.
The outer circumference of the drum
like motor wheel is equipped with shall
low buckets or paddles, each of which
is only three inches deep. The wheels
circumference is made into a checker
board with these bucket sections, there
being four rows of them, 80 in each row,
reaching around the wheel. Thus
better catch is secured on the water,
and in case of a break. the blade can
be more cheaply repaired, the inventor
claims.
This queer-iooking boat is built mere
ly for experiment and to demonstrate
the working OF his idea, Mr.. Martell
explains for instead of using horse
motor it is his purpose to equip steam
boats of either side of stern-wheel pro-
pulsion with his floating motor. He
would make over the old wheels into
drums and float them, he says. claim
ing thereby to relieve the boat of the
expense and strain of carrying all the
dead weight of the Wheel taking the
weight off the axle of the wheel and
putting it on the Circumference in the
water, reducing the load on the boat
and cutting down both the cost of
building and operating the boat.
Mr.. Martell has worked two years
on his invention and two years on his
model. He claims that by improving
the boats rivermen may hope to hold
their own with the railroads in the
freight-carrying trade.-St Louis POST
