NEW CANAL LOCK.--Isaac A. Chapman,
esq OF Wilksbarre, Pa. has invented, and exhibited
in tina, borough, Canal Lock upon an entire new
construction. The Democrat says il is so construct
ed that by means Of it, beat may pass up and down
rom one level to another without any expenditure
OF water. A movable box is made TO rise and fall
in the Lock BY means OF water admitted into 1t
through Sypion and this water is returned again
~ the Syphon into the upper level Of the Canal
As the box or movable Lock rises in the perma
Lock, the boat falls; and as the Lock falls the
boa, rises Mr.. Chapman calls it The Syphon
Lcrk." and there appeas be no doubt IN the
minds IL those who have seen its operation, that
Canal provided with such Locks would require but
little more water than would he sufficient 10 supply
'eaAHge, soekGgc end evaporation Should there be
auna no diff nlty IN The upei alton OF this new Lotk,
o whle believe here is no doubt, II is thought
lie quantity oil water sufficient. would be small
ma, canal may be excarated and successfully used
IN Almost any ground practicable tor all road.
Neg Inrenton. Mr.. William FinE, of Bai
more, an experienced fireman. has invented an in
enious machine called the Sasmander Engine and
s.. Il enables the engineer TO carry the water
lGse INTO apartments OF the houses on fire, whie h
are otherwise raect ssible by reason Of the smoke
md thus to apply the water 10 The greatest advan
age The invention consists oil single air pump
worked ty Two pistons. i'll the same way our or
linary suctions, but with more ease, four men or
Boys being sufficient. The object OF this air pump
5 10 o. opel through the SsIamander Hose'' cur.
of fresh air sufficient TO sustain animal life, in
he midst Of volumes Of smoke One extremity of
be hose is astened TO the engine, and the other to
leather mask worn by the engineer. he mask is
o constructed that the sste OF The FIRE may be as
ertained through eye holes, while the eyes are
from the smoke by the strong current Of
r which makes its escape through these holes -
The hose is composed Of spiral convouions Of wire
loosely united, and covered fits, by coat OF gum
lastic, which completely prevents the escape oil the
lir; this is next covered by coat OF sadlers web
which renders it still more secure. The spiral form
IT the wire. which constitutes the body of the hose,
lives it SO great firmness aud sody that no vi |
,eDce, short OF blow from sledce can destroy |
is integrity. And yet, slhough is lahoms long,
is SO elastic TO be wrapped round mans arm
Ike piece Of cn,dage. The machine has been
Pronounced by scientific gentlemen as fully AIDE
uate 10 its ih,ended purpose
