Over the Ocean in Twenty-four Hours, They are expected a vessel in Pittsburgh, which is to reach Nev Orleans from that pity in as short a time as it now takes to go to Cincinnati, An ocean ship modeled en the same plan would, it is ex - peoted, reach Southampton, England, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, in twenty -fear hours. Mr. John Dougherty, of Mount Union, Penn,, da the inventor of th€e marvelous craft, The vessel now under construction to be 33 feet wide, 165 feet longen the water -line, and built175 or entirely -180 feet long ea deck, and will be of weed. Its weight without the engine will be about for y50ve tons andhas the engine en hen it passengers , its draft will be leen than six inches. On each side of it will be two folding paddles, sinking deep Into the water. The paddles will be open when going lot -ward, so that they may move the largest possible body of water, but the change to the backward motion will, by the agency of syringo close the paddles and thus their resistance to a minimum. There will also be under the centre of the vessel two propelling which. are in - tended to drive the weasel through 'shoal water by striking the bottom, of the river. Mr, Dougherty calculates that his patent will sogreatlyincrease the s sed of trafflo P on the river, .hat he will to able to make the trip irom Pittsburgh to Now ken b a and book In a week—the time now taken by the fastest boats to make the round trip to Cincinnati He is cot fluent that he will be able to reduce the time occupied in crossing at from Southampton hto e gHalifax, xto twenty - four hours, and that from New York to Cal - cutta to ten days.
