Great Mechanical ImpTovement-A new use
Of the Boston Aqueducf.

Since the introduction and use Of the Cochituate
water IN Boston, it became very necessary to as
certain precisely the quantity Of water made use
Of daily by the large establishments IN Boston, as
the engineers and the owners could not agree as
70 the probable amount Those having the water
works n charge, instead Of waiting for accident
70 produce a machine suiteo to the purpose Of
measuring the water, Soug ht among the mechanics
in their employ and in the State for one possessed
OF the skill most likely to succeed in the enter
prise. Mr.. Samuel Huse, formerly citizen Of
Newburyport, was selected for this undertaking.
He has succeeded in producing an instrument
which admirably answers the purpose.
By the employment Of this machine in Boston
over most Of the streets Of which the water in the
pipes has 4 head Of from so to 100 feet, it has
been discovered by Mr. Huse that the water
would pass the meter or measurer with such force
as 10 s1persdd an efficient power. He has per.
fected according to the statements Of a cores.
pondent OF the Nelr6Hryport Herald, his invention
and secured letters patent, and has set bis meter
in operation for driving the printing press of a
