To enable heavy wagons to climb a
a steep bill in Cleveland, Ohio, without
any effort on the part o f the teams
which draw thefn, an escalator, or
moving roadway has been provided.
Its length is 420 feet, and is nearly
equal to that of two short blocks. The
rise effected amounts to sixty-five feet.
This rolling road, therefore, delivers its
load at a height equivalent to that
of the roof of a five-story building;
and in order to do s(<*lt is arranged so
that its grade or slope is one foot verti­
cally to every six and a half feet hori­
zontally. The roadway itself is eight
feet wide. As the motion is always in
one direction, it is not intended Unit
this device shall assist teams to get
down hill again. It is taken for
granted that descent will be accom­

engineers of the French
Canal C o m p a n y in­
volves the disposal of
the flood waters of tho
Chagres river. Whether the final de­
cision be for a tide level or for a lock
canal, a method must be devised to
control the Chagres when it becomes
a raging torrent, to store water in the
rainy season for use in the dry season
and to send the surplus through some
other channel to the sea.
Under plans of French engineers,
made on a basis of controlling the flood
waters on an eighty-five foot level, the
cost’ wns estimated at $3ii,000,000, and
many Americans have doubted whether
even this enormous expenditure would
protect the canal. As n result o f sur­
veys made by Americans within tile
last year it Is announced here that the
wnter can absolutely be controlled by
means of a dam at an elevation of
185 feet and at an approximate sav­
ing of $27.1X13,000 from the French esti­
mate.
In the dry seasons the flow of the
river becomes almost Insignificant for
control; the discharge becomes two
hundred times smnller than In periods
of the greatest floods.

there is one great difference between

upward and not downward, and when

foundation for the evil repute o f tha
Chagres. The river flows over sand
and' gravel between steep clay banks,
often not exceeding two hundred f?et
in width, and the water is rarely tur­
bid. As the drainage area is free from
pollution, the water should be o f the
purest, as it is well aerated, flowing
with a sw ift current over many small
rapids. In times o f rain there is n
noticeable amount o f sediment, which
is largely deposited in the lower
reaches.
The floods are very flashy; they come
suddenly and are sustained a very
short period, declining quickly almost
to low wnter conditions.
The air arising from low, marshy places, damp cellars, stagnant ponds
and pools and from decaying vegetable matter, as well as the gases from
sewers, is loaded with germs of malarial poison. The water we drink, that
has not been properly filtered and purified, is also full of these germs and
microbes, and as we daily
