IMPORTANT FORaBOATMEN & BOAT.
Builders, Railroad and Bridge RniIders

I HAVE invented (and am applying to use so far as
to fully test its properties) Check Rubber for
boat when entering the locks any other close place
through which it may pass, the several canals
mansions laying the boat in the centre of which
Is tulcrum or axle to work alever tllcr on paral-
lei to and on the top of the sill two pieces Of tim
bcr OF suitable size for the purpose of sders the
centre above named, in the SILL is also pivot f1crum
or axle for the lever to take hold of and the slid
ing pieces in straight lines WITH and in opposite di-
rections to, each other jutting the ends of the sliding
pieces out of the sides of the boat and thus check its
headway' by rubbing against the mason work of the
lock- The lever when placed the two sliding pieces
will be in form in Euclid, book LIST, PROPOSITIONS
9th, 25th, and 29th, of aline falling two straight
lines, and the changes by the required moving of the
straight line producing ut the time different an
giles Mt their iunctures, The movement of the
two sliding pieces may be effected by other fixture
such MS the placing between the two sliding pieces
i'll line with them something operating as Jack
screw or other something of the kind which will pro-
end of each piece made fast to sliding piece and the
two ends joined as to form obtuse angle which
when drawn to a straight line will produce the same
operation the two angles at opposite Sides such as
would f'rm the rmmbls rhaInbaid, all of which
will answer the same purpose; rollers may be placed
uts out such BE- required think the above Wili
sufficiently describe the form of the check, and the
line lever falling the other two straight lines or
pieces will fully illustrate the tiuxionar coefcent
moving cause. JNo. BARNETT.

Rubbcr after Patent will have been obtained will
here state. aso thatI have many inventions in my
ysucha Levers and Jacks for raising the spans of

trouble Fresseling in the water. The same can be
applied inbuilding wood or iron bridges so that in
short tnthey be raised without much expense or
loss OF nre, besides others which shall mention
