A new Canadian invention of vessels for use in the lumber districts is called a steam warping tug. It propels itself on land as well as on water, and is used by lumbermen whose operations are carried on among the small lakes connected by small streams of uncertain navigation. The vessel, it appears, has. proved not only a success, but a great boon to the lumber trade. Six of these unique crafts have been built by the inventors during the past season, tour completed at their yard at Ottawa, and two shipped ready to he put together at their destination in the Nipissing district. They are built in scow shape, with steel-shod runners for moving overland; are 37 feet long, 10 feet beam, decked all over, and have sleeping room for four men in the bow; the bottom and up the bow is covered with steel boiler plate. An engine of 22 horse-power furnishes steam for ten hours' work with three-quarters, five cords of wood. In the water it moves six miles an hour forward or baokward, as required, propelled by sidewheels. On land it i 3 propelled by having a cable drum, on which is coiled an eighth of a mile of steel wire cable, which is fastened with pulleys to a tree or some object in front, the boat moving as the wire is coiled up. The boiler is hung on an angle in the bow and a screw arranged on the front enables the fireman to tip it forward and back, and keeps it level going up or down hill. It will move over an elevation of one foot in three on land, and draws about 28 inches in the water.
