How 10 Elevate Water Without Pump.

Pursuant to announcement, Mr.. John
Ponton, a reporter of this paper, per-
formed the experiment of raising
barrel Of water by means of cotton
wick from the pavement in front Of the
Parshall House on Washington street,
to the roof of the building. A platform
was constructed projecting five feet from
the cornice. 1t was eight feet wide, and
the total height was seventy feet from
the ground. The pump bench was
placed upon this platform, on which
were two pulleys, one thirty inches and
and the other six inches, for obtaining
speed. The third pulley, upon which the
wick was run, was three inches in
diameter, and the pulley in the barrel
below was the same size. The crank
was turned with moderate expenditure
of hand powor, amply sufficient to keep
up steady flow of water. The wick
was composed of 100 balls of ordinary
cotton wicking, made into four strands,
wound together in the form Of rope,
of the diameter Of three-eighth of an
inch. The revolution Of the wick over
the upper pulley produced at that point
steady vertical flow, thrown out by the
centrifugal force from the wheel. There
was little spray from the rope in the
ascent, although twas thoroughly satu-
rated, and on its descent it was nearly
dry. With all the imperfections of the
crude apparatus and contingent delays,
little over half an hour was occupied
in filling the barrel above. So rapid
was the absorption of the water from
below that two men and four buckets
could not keep up the supply from
short distance. A tin spout conducted
the water from the wheel to the barrel
which stood on the roof, but it was so
hastily constructed that about two
thirds of the water was lost, thus pro-
longing the trial for considerable
period. The people commenced assem-.
bling as early as o'clock, and waited
patiently an hour and a half. for the
splicing of the wick, and the first revo.
luton of the wheel. When the trial
commenced they numbered $500 per-
sons. Many ladies were also present in
carriages, but the bulls' and bears"
monopolized the Oil Exchange. The
experiment on the whole was very salts
factory.-TtuSvihe Pa.) Herald.
The Lake Superior 7smrs says that the
Silver Island ore has yielded as high as
$4,000 per ton. The Thunder Bay mine
is now idle, owing to poor manage
ment. A heavy party of capitalists
from Toledo, Ohio, are the controlling
owners of the Beck mine, which is near
lv ten miles from Prince Arthur's land.
ing. Various rumors are ahoat about
the mine in regard to its wonderful
richness, and it is reported that por.
ton of it has been sold at an enormous
price. Rich deposits of silver are said
10 exist around Lake Nipigon, and that
country is already filled with anxious
adventures. Superior City is but two
hundred miles from the mines, and
boat leaves this point every week for
the silvery regions.
