The loug expected report of the
Board of (iovermncnl Engineer < ffllcers t

obstructions to navigation in the Col- t
u in hi a Ilifer, between the Dalies and i
Celilo. uni devise some method for *
overcoming them within reasonable (
limits of expense, has at last been j
given to the public.
In this project boats are taken from i
the river at tlio foot of the Dalles
rapids, and are returned to tlio river
at thy head of Celilo falls by means of
hydraulic lifts, one at each terminus,
and arc transported over the intermediate
distance a little more than eight
miles in length by a boat railway. The
lower lift is designed to raise tho boats
f>8 feet at low water and the miner lift
40 foot. The distances to which the
bouts arc to be lifted diminish lis tho
water rises. The lift is an adaptation
of tlie hydrnul' look in use for some i
years at the Union Iron Works in San
Francisco. Tho process is, therefore,
not experimental. Tho lower lilt consists
of sixteen cast-iron cylinders,each
thirty-one and one-half inches in interior
diameter and ninotecn foot seven
inches lon;?, weighing 11) tons. In
those nre rams having a full stroke of
seventeen feet three inches. They arc
placed in two rows, forty-six feet apart,
the rams in each row being twentytwo
and one-half feet between centres.
There is a platform or cradle between
those rows, supported by chains from
tho heads of the rams. The chains nro
so arranged over sheoves as to give
the cradle n speed and movement four
times that of tlie rams. A device for
regulating the admission of tho water
of the rams as fn maintain them a('"i
uniform speed and the cradle in a horizontal
position, notwithstanding any
difference in !ho load on several ranis.
The cradle is placed under the boat
while in the water. After it is raised
to the top of the lift this is removed,

it, is required of tht* ear that it shall
transport with safely the loaded boat
:?r barge, and leave sutlieient tlexibility
to pass over the hori/.ontal and vertical
curves of the road. Tito maximum
load to lie carried is estimated at GOO
tons. The platform is 10S feet long by
88 feet wide. The lateral tlexibility to
enable the ear to pass around curves is
obtained by the arrangement of tbo
trucks. There are thirty-four fourwheeled
trucks placed in two lines of
Mcventecti each.
The weight of the ear is .800 tons.
The maximum weight is GOO tons,making
the total weight of the loaded ear
900 tons. The average load per truck j
is 27 1-2 tons, am! per wheel 7 tons.
The car, with its load, is propelled on ,
the track by two 50-ton ordinary loco- \
motives.
The boats are 1G5 foot long anil .'18
feet beam and ."> feet draught, weighing
with cargo 000 tuns. The weight
of the cradle is 18-1 tons. The total
weight to be raised in the lift fn 1,458
- tons, and the speed 4 1-2 feel jn-r minute.

magazines as woll as newspapers, o^r? f

connection with tho vital question- ol \
manual training and its introduction i
iuto tho public schools. Jt is an 1
angliei/.od form of the Swedish slojd, 1
meauing dexterity or manual skill '
(compare Norse word slogd, cunning, I
English sly.) Of late, however, the '
word has been restricted in its use to *
denote a system of manual training, ^
of which the best known is tho so- f
called Nuas system, adopted some 1
fifteen years ago in Sweden. I
When this system wan adopted at ?
Naas it was now only as a whole. Tho *
details had been worked out and r'
proved to be beneficial by different I
persons at different times and in differ- T
ent countries, but not until then had '
thov been collected and made into ? "
sy'stcmatic whole. The material used
is wood, found, by experiment, to be
tho cleanest and easiest to work?a
most profitable selection, as with
proper tools it can bo worked into any
shape and form.
The purpose of the sloyd instruction
ts by no means only to give general
skill to the hand, but also to stimulate
tmd broaden the mind and to excite a
lovo and respect for all honest work; it
Is to be looked uj on as educational, a
thing which will help us all and generations
to come to be, more fully and
evenly developed. .
On the value of tho various systems
there is much dissent; but all believers
in manual training agree to tho
following principles. The work must,

he Indian chief without knowing ho
s an Indian. He is tall, brown of
>kin, but has the features of the Caucasian
race; and it is said he is not
more than one-eighth Indian.
He liiarried some years ago n nioce
of Senator Itutler. of South Carolina,
who hud gone out tb Tahlenuah as r
teacher. A good story is told of hin
when lie was (lovernor of the Cherokee
Nation. The Cherokces nro the inosi
civilized of all the ludian tribes, ami
ono of their Jaws is in favor of prohibi
tiou. The law of the United States i:
that no one shall give or sell firewatei
to an Indian, but the Cherokco legisla
tors go further and prohibit tin* bring
in" of it into tho Territory.
In Tahlequuh, when liushyhead was
Govoruor, there was an Irish black
smith named Mike Delauey. Now
Mike had been received into the tribt
because be had married a squaw, and
strange as it may seem, was nioro o
an Indian than uuy native. He use*
to orate by the hour over ids forgo a
tho wrongs of the red men, and ono o
his favorite perorations was:
"Wc have been pairsccutcd by th<
white man, dhrivon from our homes ii
Georgia over the mountains an1 val
leys, an' our noble inheritance stho'ei
away from us."
Mike frequently delivered himself o
this, und tho more firo-watcr he had ii
him the more llannol-iuouthed and un
Indian whs his brogue. Ho und Bushy
head were great friends, and ouc day
when the Govornor was at the eour
1 - m - Ylor t')n 1\r\tx n
the Legislature, the squaw-man ap
pcarod and bockoned imperiously.
"Come here," ho whispered, Ol'vi
Boniething to tell you. There's a deai
mule in town." A "dead inula'* 1
Western slang for a keg of whisky.
"Give me a dollar," continued Attko
"an' I'll buy a bottle an' keep it in tin
shop until yez can bo nfturr comin* t<

The Governor gave the money, nr? '
half an hour later, deputizing some
to take his place, he made his way
the forge. From afar oH he heard tin
inspiring strains of tho "Irish Washerwoman,"
ami as ho drew near he recognized
the oft-repeated refrain, "Oct
hone. Widow Maehroe, oeh hone,
Widow Maehree." the, melody stoutly
maintained by an anvil chorus. Hush
ing in. he was confronted by the hilar!
ous blacksmith, whom he at onco askei
for his share of the "dead mule."
"Be aisy, Guvner." cried tho Irish
Indian, "ihcre'^mlv two hoels left, an

probablefmirrny travelers who, thougl:
they have seen most of the fnniou:
livers lyd&l^, iy the world, iiavc
failed to notice tlio remarkable difference
in color which t heir waters pro
scut. Even the ocean is not uniform
iu color; iir some places its waters arc
green, or even yellowish. Some lakes
alto distinctly blue; others present variofas.shacrcs
of green, so that in some
eases they are hardly disfinguinhul>l<
worn^thofr level, grass-covered banks;
a fc\r are almost black. The lako ol
Utanovu is a/.urc-huod; the Jake of Constance
and tlio lake of Lucerne arc
green; the color of the Mediterranean
hui been called indigo. The lake ol
Hfieny. is greenish yellow, and itinoighbor,
Lako Thun, is blue. New
i'ork has both greeu and l>lue lakes.
1'he colors of rivers differ yet more
ivhWf. The Rhone is blue, and so is
;lu$ panubc, while the Rhine is green.
Anybody who has traversed the wonI4rful
Adirondack region and tished in
t^iyatcrs must have noticed the renarkable
difference in the color of its
rivers and smaller streams which radiito
in every direction from the central
croup of mountains. The waters ol
he Sacondaga .are yellowish, while
hose of tlio Canada creeks and of the
tlohawk are clear, with perhaps a
bluish tint in deep poles. Fish creek
s black or deep brown; and its neighbor,
Salmon river, is colorless. Next
ionics the lllack river, whoso color is
ndicatcd by its name, but between it
incl the Crasse, which is also black or
irowu, is the Oswegatchie, with clear,
vhito waters. The St. Regis, again, is
ilack, but the Raqncttc is white. The

The cause of the dill'erencc in the

Umsen, Arago, Sainle-t'laire Devilie,
iml others. Recently I'rof. Spring of

joined the Episcopal church and wr

olo' mon^8 i'lfor he maddiis r
markable speech on Ihc head of a ba
rcl in the streets of Atlanta, aniioun

g. ir.g in partnership with Sam Jones ft
For il ?oar or ^wo< When the partne

* tlio State Senate. Being defeated, 1
again took up the business ol" a tru
k,v oiling evangelist, subject to nobody
, direction but his own. Several montl
u ago it was announced that he woul
j withdraw from the Mothodist Cliurc
... and bceonie an Episcopal clcrgynin
, . He undertook some missionary woi
I in Boston in connection with tl
L1F ] Episcopal Church and pursued

he suddenly reappeared in Atlanl

up his political prospects ever siin
