The boiler is about a foot long, and eight inches in diameter, with a flue through it, not quite in the center, into which tlie fire appears to have been placed. Tlie cylinder stands perpendicular, and the framework that supports it is not unlike that now used by some of the low pressure boats on Lake Erie. There is a paddle wheel on each side, and, in tact, everything appears to be complete with the exception of a condenser and force pump. The boiler is even supphed with a safety valve, though part of it has been broken off."
