'Only 50s. - ' - An elevator that raises and lowers steamboats and barges is a decided novelty in this country, and the first one of the kind to be built on the Amer ican continent has recently bees com pleted and put in service at Petersbor- ougb, Ont. It is technically known as a hydraulic lift lock, and "it performs na one movement the functions of five ordinary locks, Which would be re quired to overcome the fall of sixty nve feet in canal level at this point. As a work of engineering initiative and skill it is unsurpassed by anything arcompusneu in recent years and Cana dians feel a just pride in their achieve ment. :,.

In view of the small cost it is surprising that' tbe scheme was not consummated ong ago. , Up to the present tinre there has been expended less than $5,000,000, and it is estimated that another 3.000. 000 will be sufficient to finish the work.
