dock Itself by a simple device. This
is aeeomplislMHl by having the ; poh-1
toons detachable so that . one at a
time each one can tie raised out of
the "water and repaired. - This Is ae
com id i shed in this way: ; If. Jt Is de-
sl reel to dock the middle, iontooa ihe
fastenings .connecting. It 'with the
other pontoons are removed and it is
allowed : to float loosely. . . Water Is
then admitted to the end pontoon and
side walls and , the middle pontoon
floats up .until a set of lugs on. its
leottom eorresonds to the upper con
necting lugs on the. side .walls. This
brings the i middle pontoon entirely
out of Water. The middle Kntoon In
turn has sufficient capacity to dock
both end pontoons at once, and one of
the side walls" can be tilted , out of
water by filling the other one. By
these various means the entire under
water surface of the dock Is made
aeeesislble for repairs.
STREETS THROUGH CHURCHES.
Odd
Places of Worship In the Old
- World. ; ',- - '
One of the test known Instances InlTfas had some 2 rear experience III
this kingdom of churches -with streets I
through them is that of St. John the
Baptist's church ia Brtstd ays
Plts of London, v Ilerci we have - the
church situated right over the ancient
gateway into the city on the Avon.;
and the towering spire standing high
above the neighboring bouses (and
streets is a, remarkable sight, as) one
surveys it from the roadway below.
The Church of St. John the Baptist in
Bristol is a very old one. It occupies
the whole width of the famous j city
wall, -and what was part of .the old
fosse or dith. On each sldo of the
central arch that cuts through tlie
tower of the church is a smaller open
ing for ibedesttian traffic, and these
were made so late as the present-century.
Before they existed the sides
of the gateway were part of I the
church, too. One of the most inter
esting, as well as most curious, cases
ot; . a roadway through : a church Is
mat 01 the Bell Tower at Evesham.
