far the largest addition to this important interest
that it has received in the same period of time since
the erection of the city. The following is the list

MODE OF CALCULATING RIVER VELocIrY.-The
mean velocity of water in section is equal
to nine hundred and sixty three times the square
root of the of the section multiplied by
the fall and divided by the permeter multiplied by
the length.
For example, If the breath of the river Missis-
sippi be 1000 feet, the mean depth so feet or the
area of the section 900 square feet, the
length of 100000 feet, the mean velocity will be
S707 feet per second and the quantity Of water dis
charged 533, 40 cubic feet per second. Again, If
the breadth be only 600 feet, which will give the
same of section l60 900 square feet, the
permctcr 500 feet, and the fall feet in the length
of 6000 600 feet, the velocity will be 1900 per
second.
Tho above are rules taken from De Bows Re-
siep. AS general formula, we suppose they may
answer very well; butfor every river separate ex-
periments positively necessary for positive
facts, owing to the form of the banks and the form
of the bottom l-ScienHfc american.

rusty nail, which ran through her shoe and foot.
The Inflammation and pain were Of course very
great, and lockjaw was apprehended. A friend of
the family, however, recommended the application
of beet taken fresh from the garden, and pound
was very beneficial. Soon the inflammation began
to subsde, and by keeping on the crushed beet,
changing it for fresh one as its virtue seemed to
become impaired, speedy cure was effected.
Simple but efiectual remedies like this should be
known by everybody.
