Lincoln, Inventor, Had Sandbar Craft Springfield, 111.,—Seventy-five years after Abraham Lir.eoln in vented a boot to successfully navi gate the Sangamon river, land owners along that river propose to accomplish his purpose through another method—that of changing its bed. On May 22, 1849, a patent was granted at the United States puteire office to A. Lincoln, for a craft equipped to raise itself from sand bars and other obstructions found in the Sangamon. The mode! for this invention, Patent No. 6469, was whittled from cigar boxes. The story goes that the “gang1’ was gathered in the store of Col. John Williams on the Springfield square discussing the, possibilities of navigating the meandering stream. Lincoln was a listener for a while, then he said: “Gentlemen, I will demonstrate by actual exhibit that it is both possible and pratica! to navigate then'Sangamon. I will show you n model of a steamboat, in the bqr water trough at the corner of the square opposite my office, having had experience as a navigator on the Sangamon, Illinois and Missis sippi rivers.” The day of the test came and Lincoln appeared with his model, lacing it in the trough, a number of bricks were used to weight it down. Then with a small air pump the bellows on each side of t’ne ' boat were filled and the boat rose, about six inches under the load. i "Each inch represents a foot op a full sired steamboat,” Lincoln told his audience. Some of the spec tators were skeptical, but the mod el was admitted to the patent office 1 as having ‘‘great mechanical value” ’ On the model, bellows were plac ed in'each side of the hull of the ' crafi, just below the water line.'' When the craft become grounded ; the bellows were to be filled, and the lightness thus obtained to float the craft again. But the in vention was never applied to river craft.
