STEAM on CANALs.-0biections were urged many
years ago to the Of Steam Canals, the
ground that increased speed would create increased
abrasion of the canal banks and thus effect perma-
nent injury to the work. As far back as the wear
1888 experiments were made through the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal, under the direction of
Professor Bache, which demonstrated then, to the
satisfaction of the examiners, that this objection
not sound. In the 18th volume of the Journal
of the Franklin Institute Opp. 81 ,372, year 1883
we find the following results recorded
review of these experiments leads me to the CON
clusion indicated in the commencement of this arti-
Gle namely that steam power may be substituted
for the present method of towing by horses, on
large canals, with great advantage to the canal,
(banks) particularly at high velocites
In these experiments, at the highest rate of mo-
ton obtained (7.G4 miles per hour) there no
swell produced in the straight parts of the Canal,
which would have been likely to injure the banks,
although not specially protected. The wave from
the bow Of the boat owing to the peculiar form of
that part, fell in with the wheels and was disposed
by them; while the lean form of the stern
brought together the waves produced by the
wheels, which therefore, spread very little, if at ALL
in lateral direction, that is towards the banks, be-
ing directed towards the tow path only in parts of
the curved portions of the Canal.
Professor Baches theory is that by the increased
motion produced by steam, the boat is thrown upon
the wave; and that the abrasion of the Canal would
be less with a rapid than a slower speed. To this
may add that the more recent improvements in
the construction Of vessels particularly prOpellers
and the adoption of improved engines which occu-
py small space only, the adaptation of Canals for
transport of goods at fair rate of speed is fully
tablished. This rate which was set down at 7.GI
miles per hour in 1893, may be safely guaranteed
now at eight miles per hour.
This statement may occasion some surprise on the
part Of those who urge that period of twenty-five
years should have readily developed this result
We account for this want of earlier develop
only in the fact that about the time these early
periments were made on the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal, the superior speed of railroad commu-
nication had just been shown and the extraordinary
changes produced in the commercial world during
the years lS32-lS40, by this Tmore rapid transit,
seem to have shut Canals out of view, among the
public as channels of trade.
Now, when we find that a steam engine of eighty
horse power, occupying less than thirty cubic feet
near the stem, will propel a Canal boat or other
vessel of four hundred tons, ten eleven miles per
hour, leaving nearly the entire hold for storage
purposes it would seem that the capacity of Canals
to compete with Railroads, in heavy freights, is
clearly vdemonstratcd.-N. Y. CoVr. d Enquirer

THE TREvELYAN PRIZE EsSAYs.-ln 1857 Sir
William Calverley Treve yam, Bart, of Wellington,
Northumberland, (England.) offered two prizes
one of $500 and another of S2O0-or the best Es
says upon the Philosophy of Spoken Language
Eighteen competing Essays were delivered in, but
of these quite fulfilled the conditions of the of
fer. But Sir William, who is himself a good phil
ologist and oriental scholar, Master of Arts from
Oxford University has decided on giving $3.50
to the writer of the Essay with the motto, "Fiat
justtia ruat coelum,' which, though deficient in
some of the requirements, had been highly cOmmen-
ded by several of the adudicators and proposes to
give the other $3.50 the authors undertaking to
thoroughly revise, complete, and publish the Essay.
He also gives $50 each to the writers all English
scholars) of four other essays, of inferior merit
The successful Essay, we are happy to say, was
written by Professor S. S. Haldeman, of Columbia,
Pennsylvania. A London literary journal, from
which take these facts, says "Protessor Hade-
mans Essay contains a valuable outline of the
theory of etymology, embracing critical inquiry
into the value of the Roman and Saxon aphabets,
and many bits of word-historv. which are treated
with much subtlety and originality; and above all,
with a degree of method and precision in
tracing, step by step, the corruptions of oral Ian
guage. The question of how much assistance the
etymologist can gain from Romanie spelling is skill
fully handled and in a manner very adverse to the
| opinions of the Rev. II. C. Trench"
