PPPPPPJPPP*^ T STEAM BOATtNC ON DRY I AND. j KI(ht Miles of Their Kegulnr Trips t<> Ite i M?do ou Irou ltalls. ' "The loug expected report of tlio Board of Government Engineer Officers that whs to consider tho subject of the obstructions to navigation in the Columbia River, between the Dalles anil Celllo. and devise some method for overcoming them within reasonable limits of expense, has at last been given to tho public. In this project boats are taken from tho river at tho foot of tho Dalles rapids, and are returned to tho river at tho head of Celilo falls by means of hydraulic lifts, one at each terminus, I and are transported over tho interme diate distance a little moro than eight miles in length by a boat railway. '1 he lower lift is designed to raise tho boats 68 feot at low water and the upper lift 40 feet. The distances to which the boats aro to bo lifted diminish ns tho water rises. The lift is an adaptation of the hydraulic dock in uso for somo Tears at the Union Iron Works in San Francisco. The process is, therefore, not experimental. Tho lower lift consists of si.xtocn cast-iron cylinders,each thirty-one and one-half inches in interior diameter and ninoteen foot seven inches long, weighing 10 tons. In those are rams having a full stroke of seventeen feet three inches. They arc placed in two rows, forty-six feot apart, tho rams in each row being twentytwo and one-half feet betweeu centres. There is a platform or cradle betweeu these rows, supported bv chains from the hoads of tho rains. The chains aro so arranged over shecvcs ns to give the cradio a snood and movement four times that of tno rams. A device for regulating the admission of the water of I lie rams .n to tnuitifnfri (knm of "A uniform speed and tho cradle in n horizontal position, notwithstanding any difference in the load ou several rams. The cradle is placed under the boat while in the water. After it is raised to the top of the lift this is removed, and the car on which the boat is to be transported on the railroad is substituted. It is required of the car that it shall transport with safety tho loaded boat or barge, and leave sufliciem tlexibility t.o pass over the horizontal and vertical curves of the road. The maximum load to be carried is estimated at 600 tons. The platform is 168 feet long by 68 feet wide. The lateral tlexibility to enable tint car to pass around curves is obtained by the arrangement of tho trucks. There are thirty-four fourwheeled trucks placed in two lines of seventeen each. The weight of the car is 800 tons. The maximum weight is 600 tons, making the total weight of tho loaded car 90 u tons. The average load per truck is 27 1-2 tons, and per wheel 7 tons. The car. with its load, is propelled on the track by two 50-ton ordinary locomotives. The boats are 165 foot long and 88 # feet beam and 5 feet draught, weighing with cargo 600 tons. 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 feet per minute. j The estimated cost of tho whole, sy^r tern, with equipment of two cars and four engines, capable of passing eight loads of CO') tons iii each direction in twelve hours, including necessary buildings, and 10 pef cent for eontinfjcncics, is $2.090,356.

It is estimated that a furthet* 6x-? penditurc of $716,000 in buildings, cars, engines and sides tracks; will allord the maximum of forty boats each way in twenty-four hours. The annual cost of maintenance to pass sixteen boats in twelve hours is esg timato.d to be $80,000.and to pass thirty^ two in twenty-four hours would - c<>.^ $50,000.

Heine Tsu;;lit In This Country. Tho word "sloyd" has beeu seenMn print more or less of lato years in magazines as well as newspapers, B&r* the Boston Transcript, anu always in connection with tho vital question- ol manual training and its introduction into tho public schools. It is an anglicized form of the Swedish slojd, meaning dexterity or manual skill ^compare Norse word slogd, cunning, i^ngnsn siy.; v/i late, However, the word has been restricted in its use to denote a system of manual training, of which tho best known Is t ho socalled Naas 83'stcm, adopted some fifteen years ago in Sweden. When this system was adopted at Naas it was new only as a whole. Tho details had been worked out and proved to be beneficial by different persons at different times and in different countries, but not until then had they been collocted and made into a systematic whole. Tho 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 be worked into any snnpe ana iorm. The purpose of the sloyd instruction In by no means only to give general skill to the hand, but also to stimulate and 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 bq moro fully and evenly devoloped. . On the value of the various systems there is much dissent; but all believers in rtfanual training agree to tho following principles. Tho work must, 1. Interest tho pupil. 2. Give usesul articles as a product. 8. Promote general dexterity. 4. Develop tho sense and lovo of order and exactness. 5. Encourage cleanliness and neatness & Tako i?ta CO*Mi^'ptrfrirr'7.'

Bushy head, one of the numbers ol the Cherokee Coin mission, is still in Washington, and many a one pusses the Indian chief without knowing he is an ludinu. He is tall, brown of skin, but has the features of the Caucasian race; aud it is said ho is not more than one-eighth Indian. He married some years ago n nioce of Senator Butler, of South Carolina, who had gone out tb Tahlequah as a teacher. A good story is told of him when ho was Governor of the Chcrokeo Nation. Tho Cherokces aro the most civilized of all tho Indiun tribes, aud ono of their laws is iu favor of prohibition. Tho law of the United States is that no one shall give or sell firewater to an Indian, but tho Cherokee legislators go further and prohibit the bringing of it into tho Territory. lu Tahlequah, when Bushyhead was Govornor, there was an Irish blacksmith named Mike Delaney. Now, Miko had been received into the tribe because he had married a squaw, and, strango as it may seem, was moro of an Indiun thau any native. IIo used to orate by the hour over his forge at tho wrongs of tho red men, and ono of i his favorite perorations was: < "Wn hiiro l>oi>n imirsppntpil Hv tho i white man, dhrivon from our homes in 1 Georgia over the mountains an1 val- I leys, an' our noble inheritance stholen I away from us." i Mike frequently delivered himself of < this, and tho more fire-water he had in I him tho more flannel-mouthed and un- i Indiau was his brogue. Ho and Bushy- ' head were great frieuds, and one day < when tho Governor was at tho court I ? * m -XJ i i ? -rvjt Qy f tlfl y i J tho Legislature, the squaw-maa ap* i pcared and beckoned imperiously. i "Come here," ho whispered, " 'Oi've I something to tell you. There's a dead mule in town." A "dead mulo" is Western slang for a kog of whisky. "Give me a dollar," continued Miko, "an1 I'll buy a bottle an' keep it in the shop until ycz can bo afturr coinin' to dbrink it." The Governor gave the money, an'1 half an hour later, deputizing some to take his place, he made his way the forge. From afar off he heard tl* inspiring strains of tho "Irish Washerwoman," aud as ho drew near lie recognized the. oft-repeated refrain, "Oeh hone. Widow Maehroc, oeh hone, Widow Maehrec." tho melody stoutly maintained by an anvil chorus. Hushing in. he was confronted by the hilarious blacksmith, whom he at oueo asked for his share of the "dead tnulo." "Be aisy, Guvner," cried tho IrishIndian, "thcre'yonly two heels left, an' I'll dhriuk thatA-, tno law's agin, giv- [ in' an lLuliau WIUSKy."

The waters of j the Sacondaga aro yellowish, while ,. those of tho Canada creeks and of the Mohawk aro clear, with perhaps a :l bluish tint in deep poles.

Next comes tho Jilack river, whoso color is ii indicated by its name, but between it o and the Grasse, which is also black or o brown, is the Oswegntchio, with clear, J> ivhito waters. The St. Regis, again, is DiacK, dui me itaquctte is white. The St. Lawrence is blue.

According to him, f< absolute pure water, when seen in ]j Ywnsses of sufliciont thickness, is blue, and all the varieties of color oxhibitcd in lakes and streams arise from tho presence in the water of mineral salts , of different depress of solubility and in varying quantities.

Sam Small Changes Again. The Re v. Sam W. Small is a man of many minds. Several years ago he joined the Episcopal church and was confirmed at St. Philip's, Atlanta. A few months later ho madu'liis remarkable speech on the head of a barrel in the streets of Atlanta, announcing his conversion. Ho then connect ed himself with the Methodist church and loomed up as an evangelist, being in partnership with Sam Jones for a year or two. When the partnership dissolved, Small went it alone for I a while in the evangelical work. In 1888 he darted bock to Atlanta and ran as an independent candidate for tho State Senate. Being defeated, he agaiu took up the businoss of a traveling evangelist, subject to nobody's direction but his own. Several months ago it was announced that he would withdraw from tho Methodist Church and become an Episcopal clergyman. He undertook some missionary work in Boston in connection with the Episcopal Church and pursued it vigorously for several weeks. Then he suddenly reappeared in Atlanta and proclaimed that ho would l>e a candidate for tho Legislature. His f.iiends havo been zealously working up his political prospects ever since and were contident of his election. Ho left Atlanta a few days ago and Saturday a telegram was received from him dated Ogdon, Utah, in which ho stated that he had been elected president of the Utah University of the Mothodist Church and hud accepted tho position. This indicates that Mr. Small will renounce political ambition and tho Episcopal Church, at least for the present. He is a rarely giftod man aud is capable of success in almost any liue he may choose. "What his liue will bo in a few months hence it is always impossible to predict.
