Newspaper Page TextIP in i' WILLAMETTE FARMER Evaporation and Percolation. G. J. Bytnong, secretary of the British mete orological society, read a paper at the recent session of the Institute of Engineers, giving some very interesting experiments devised to measnre the extent of atmospherio evaporation. His statement contained a proposal to gauge, by an apparatus as simple as an ordinary rain gange, the loss of water from the re-evaporation of rin; the usual method of learning the hygrometrio state of the air being by the dry and wet bu'b thermometers. The gauge in cludes a percolation gauire, which was larger but did not differ greatly from the Dalton gauge, started by the late Mr. Dickenson at Abbott's Lingley, to which the author had added one filled with fine sand to a-certain maximum percolation. Lastly, evaporation from ths surface of water was determine! by floating the giuge in a vessel or in some river, ODen tank or reservoir, and it was assumed that the water in the inner vesel acquired the general conditions of that in the outer vessel. The rain gauge and percolation gauges were not new, tut the form employed for determin ing the amount of evaporation from the sur face of water had not been proposed elsewhere; moreover, the foir scries of observations had never been bronght forward in juxtaposition and wttn apparatus or uniiorm construction. Tables were submitted of tbe rainfall from ob servations uninterruptedly maintained since 1855; of the percolation, which b; subtraction showed the evaporation from the ground, since 1855; of the percolation through sand, which furnished also tho evaporation from sand, since 1860; and of the evaporation from a sur faoe ol water, ihe author gave the average rainfall as 25 inches, the average percolation through sand as 20 inches, and the evapora tion from the surface of sand as five inches; percolation through earth as seven inches; evapora'ion from the surface of tbe earth aa 18 (inches; evaporation from the surfaca of open water, 20 inches; and the gain of water in an open tauk, four and one half inches only. These tables showed that all the water that could be relied upon as retained for use was a depth of seven inches, if the lain fell npon a permeable soil, and of four and one-half inches If it frit on an open tank or reservoir. To se cure more tbau this, covered reservoirs or olose vessels to prevent evaporation would be ueces aarv. The phenomena of ptcnliarl? dry yeartt years in which rivers and sprines have been deficient, viz., 1881, 18C4, 18G8, were dis cussed. Springs and rivers bad been redun dant in 1852-53, in 1857-58, iu 18C0, in 18CG and in 1872. It was manifest that with a view to provide for the permanent and continuous needs' ot large communities, the probable fluctuation of delivery of water in a river might be gathered by watohing closely the sequence indicated by the percolation gauge. Heavy ruins and storms in summer might pro duce a river flood, yet fail to replenish tbe springs; and a long frost, even with consider erablo mow, mightleave rivers and springs very short of water for the following autumn; and a dry winter imperilled the permanence of river disabarge moro than a hot summer. The latter, however, might succeed a dry winter, uiuHr which circumstances the deficiency of wator in the rivers must become alarming, in view of the present tendenoy to the aggregation of pop ulations. One roault of tho comparisons deduced from the tables attached to the paper was that tho storage of water might oe more safely and largely secured in a porous subsoil, oovered with a turfed surface, than in ponds, reservoirs or other accumulations of open wa ter. The author added that frequent thaws of small fella of snow produced the greatest amount of percolation; that hollow draining did not diminish the perennial flow of rivers; that capillarity bad only a negative infiuence; that the infiuence of a wet period on percola tion rarely extended over more than one sea son, and was .soon obliterated by a dry winter succeeding. The flow of springs ar.d of rivers followed the increase and decrease of percola tion more closely than the rainfall, except in tbe temporary effects wbioh immediately suo ceedid on copious rains. Negative evaporation, or an increment of water without rain, occa sionally, though seldom, occurrid in the float inp gauge; but it was of frequent occurrence in the sand gauge, from the low temperature ac quired by tho sand by radiation, when the gauge became a dew tank. A Second Channel for the Erie Canal. One of tho latest engineering projects iu America is the construction of a second chan nel for the Erie oanal. This project is designed to take the plaoe of the proposition for widen ing and deeponing that groat intericr water way. Tho expense ot constructing n second oanal will be but little more than that which will be required for widening the preseut one. while tho relative advantages will bo much greater. The proposition is to commence at Its western extremity and give a uniform down grade of about seven inobes to the mile, by which a three mile curreut will be established, and to use this goonnd canal for transportation eastward only utilizing the force of the cur rent as a motive power. It is, moreover, pro posed that the new chanuel shall be throe feet deeper than tho present one, so that as the ex cess of transportation will always be iu the di rection of tbe ourreut, boats going eastward may be able to draw threo fret more water thou on their return trip. The preseut caual admits a draft of six feet; by inoreasiug tbe depth to nine feet moat of tho sailing vessels now on the lakes could make the passga seawards by the oanal fully laden, and return with a limited cargo all that the business will admit of. Of oourse suoh navigation will require the use of drawbridges. It is claimed that by the aid of the three mile outrent, the down-going boats would be able to double their present speed, and quadruple tho capacity of the caual, wuilo tho cost of froight might bo greatly reduoed, witbont any reduc tion in the present rato of tol's It is estima ted that the sum ol $35,000,000 will be am ply surfioient to consttuot tho new cantl from liuff.lo to Rochester, within five years from tbe inception of the work; then by allow ing tho tolls to aconmulato for a few years the Bute might commence the construction of another section, and so on until tide-water was reached alwaj s keeping the tolls at figures that would not allow the oanal to become a financial burden, Tbe ohlef novelty iu the idea i the double oanal, whioh appears to pro sent an economical, as well aa novel feature; and is one wbioh will apply to other canals or 8 arts of canals, whenever water is plentiful atd io down grade uffiolent. Communication U tween the two canals could be established at certain intervals by connecting obannels, which, of oourse, would usually have to bo provided with locks, a Ihe two obannels would seldom be on a level with each other.

Detonation. The last meeting of tbe British chemical society v held at Woolwich arsenal, and one of the snbjects consisted of experiments on detonation. Of these there were three series. The first showed some of the conditions which promote detonation of an explosive agent by a blow or by the force exerted by an initiil de tonation. The experiment, however, intended to show that a fuse of mercuric fulminate, strongly confined and exploded in uncom pressed gun-cotton, will not detonate it, directly contradicted the programme, and on repetition was equally unsuccessful. Tbe second feries illustrated tbe transmission of detonation, which as ascertained bv N b!e'g chronoscope ranges from 18,000 to 21.0U0 feet per second. This has been determined by detonating a row of discs 36 feet long, insulated wires being stretched across the row at intervals of sir feet; their rupture by tbe detonation gives spark records on the chronoscope, from the relative position of which the rate of transmission of detonation is calculated. These experiments were very successful. In the last of them GO grammes of compressed gun-cotton were in nerted into one extremity of a wrought iron tube five feet long, tbe detonation being trans mitted to a disc of compressed gun-cotton in f rted into the other extremity of the tube. The explosion split np the ends of the tube, breaking off one piece abont six inches long, which whizzed through the air with a sham sound, finally falling not very fr from its original position. Various illustrations of the applications of detonation formed tbe third series. A wrought iron rail was destroyed by a charge of abont half a ponnd of compressed gun-cotton placed upon it and detonated, illus trating the hasty demolition of a line of railway by cavalry pioneers. A pieoe of wet gun-cotton, removed from a fire upon which it would not burn, was placed upon a block of granite and tbere detonated by a small charge of dry gun-cotton. Its effect was to shatter the gran its to pieces. A stockade, built up of stakes abont a foot thick, was similarly blown into small pieces, a great hole being also excavated in the earth. Finally a submerged charge of wet gun-cotton was detonated in a pool of water, sending a spout high into tbe air. In this case the charge was open on all sides to ine water, netng confined round me dry initia tive charge only by means of a net. The Wisconsin Reward. Considerable interest has been awakened in mechnio4 circles by the announcement that the Wisconsin Legislature had offered $10,000 reward for a steam road wagon for agricultural Snrpo-es. In answer to many queries, Q. M. urshall, a member of Assembly, has written to the Scientific American as follows: 'To fill the bill, tbe machine must travel 200 miles north and south over very poor roads that are often sunk or worn down in tbe wheel and horse tracks six inches to a foot below the common level, but with a ridge in the center, the ridges being impassable for a horse; more so for the wheel of a steamer when we take into account the stumps and stones, avoided by a double team and left in the center ridge. Our wagon track is about four feet Bix inches outside, and that must be tbe gauge of a steamer, which machine should not weigh more than two tons and must be so arranged that' it will climb steep sand hills, cross poor biidges, run easily over bogs, stones and grubs, and out of ruts, etc, just as a loaded lumber wagon does; and it must travel at the avorage rate of five miles per hoar, and, in tbe language of the law, 'be a cheap substitute for hores and other animals on the highway and farm.'" Tbe Wisconsin farmers evidently desire to get the worth of their money. It is a wonder tbey did not add that in case of flood the wagon sbonld be able to climb a tree to keep out of the wet. By the terms of the law, competition tor the reward is only open to Wisconsin citizens. S. F. Wait ePM- GENERAL MERCHANDISE. it Ana. Kor. Stand Wht.. 11 fflVil ne?me A Go's..

This advice was not followed. They thought it better to risk their own capital, and not ap peal to the public, until experiments had been made and nothing was left to chance. This determination was promptly justified. Tho preliminary expenses have only amonnted to an insignificant sum, and the promoters have already acquired a certainty that they may make decisive experiments; and when these have been made they will resolvo eilher on the entire abaudonmont of the sabeme, or on a definite enterprise, guarded against all event utilities and miscalculations, so that when ever they present themselves bsforo the publio they cau precisely determine the time, cot and nature ot the undertaking.

Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pat ents, in all cases, will always be as low, and in some instauces lower, than those of any other responsible agency. We can and do get foreign patents for inventors in the Pacifio States from two to six months (according to the location of the country soonkh than any other agents. The principal portion of the patent business of this coast has been done, and is still bing done, through our agency. We are familiar with, and have full records, of all former cases, and can more directly judge of the and patentability of inventions discovered here than any other agents. Situated so remote from the seat of goverment, delays are even more dangerous to the invent ors of the Pacific Coast than to applicants in the Eastern ritates. Valuable patents may be lost by extra time consumed in trans mining specifications from Eastern agencies back to this coast for the signature of the inventor. Confidential. We take great pains to preserve secreoy in all confidential matters, and applicants tor pat ents can rest assured that their communi cations and business transactions will be held strictly confidential by us. Circulars free. (Home Counsel. Our long experience in obtaining patents for Inventors on this Coast has familiarized ns with the character of most of the inventions already patented; hence we are frequently able to save our patrons the oost of a fruitless application by pointing tbem to the same thine already oovered By a patent. We are always free to advise applicants of any knowledge we have of previous applicants which will interfere with their obtaining a patent. We invite the acquaintance of all parties con nected with inventions and patent right busi ness, believing that the mutual conference of legitimate business and professional men is mutual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to their rights sb assignees of patents, or pur chasers of patented articles, can often receive advise of importance to them from a short call at our office. Remittances of money, made by individual in ventors to the Government, Bometimes mis carry, and it has repeatedly happened that applicants have not only lost tbeir money but their inventions also, from this cause and consequent delay. We hold ourselves re sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agency Engravings. We have superior artists in our own office, and all facilities for producing fine and satisfac tory illustrations of inventions and machinery, for newspaper, book, circular and other printed illustrations, and are always ready to assist patrons in bringing their valuable 'is ooveries into practical and profitable use.
