would say, LIST, As to its operation we are per-
fectly satisfied, and as to its merits e. reliable
cheap and economical motive power, the follow
Ing facts and figures based upon accurate exper-
mental knowledge will fully demonstrate. We
were running muley saw under feet head aud
fall with twenty-five Issue Re r.livc Wheel,
using 226 inches Of water. The Excelsior Wheel
under the same head and fall stands feet heiow
the other wheel under the disadvantage Of the
food OF water from |; ADD uses 2O9 inches of
wsteT
The Excelsior Water wheel attached 10 az ~
inch circular saw cuts a board IL feet long and G
wide in one minute at the same time driving n
"a inch cutting of saw. The muley saw cuts the
same length aud width in minutes, using rs
inches more watsr.-Thus making difference Of
4e00 feet PEI day Of 10 hours In favor Of the Ex
celsor Wheel With Lees water.
We have full confidence that there is power
enough in the Eairchild Wheel to do it's present
WORK and also drive the muiey saw, thereby ssv-
ing 100 per cent, of the whole quantity Of water
