A Deluged Country.

Our correspondent 1T the Sault writes
that he has just received information
from passengers on their return trip from
Manitoba, that that country is now ex-
periencillg a deluge such as has not been
known for years, if ever before. During
the month of June there were twenty
six days of heavy and continuous rain,
and iii consequence, the water in Red
river anI Red lake has raised fifteen feet
above the average stage. As may we'll
be imagined, the whole country, except
some of the higher portions, is covered
with water. The water, at last accounts
was still OH the rise. About five feet
more would cover the highest ground.
the damage to the country is immense
Large numbers of the emigrants who
went there to settle in the early spring
have become discouraged and are coming
back. The crops on the overflowed land
must ije y. .dssSSs.ttayed, and it is not un-
likely that much destitutio.will be the
result. 1t is said that a simifa food
was experienced in that country aaut
forty years ago. The tide Of emigratiol
which has been going that way. to g
great an extent, will probably be check
ed very largely when the news of the
flood reaches the public.

Alittle steamboat has recently, made
the run between, Baltimore and New
York, being propelled the entire distance
between the two cities without wheel or
screw. She is called the Alpha, and in
outward appearances resembles the tug
boats which ply in the harbor. Her length
length is As feet, 1O1Hs,Iand depth about
8 feet. She is supplied with a 16-horse
power tubular boiler, which drives q
pump. From,the pump to the stern and
bow of the vessel are two line of pipe.
which strike the water about three feet
below the surface. The pump drives
through each pipe two and One-half
inch stream. which enters the water
through a s-inch nozzle. With 60
pounds of steam the pump makes $50
strokes minute, each stroke driving a
stream into the outer body ofwater. The
invention is the result of many years
of study, and it is asserted that it can> be
applied to ocean steamships with success.
. Z .
In moving through the water there is nd
ripple asterD,and but slight rdisplaee-
ment perceptible except at the bow, By
shutting off the discharge from the stern
pipes and forcing the water through the
bow pipes, the boat is backed, aud by
using one bow and one stern pipe she can
be turned in her own length. The,propel-
ling power can also be made to steer the
boat, the nozzles being used alternately
as leverss on the principle Of the oar.
The boat consumes but a quarter NofCta

SATURDAY. JULY ia, 1iS77.I II


The report of the Collector OF the St.
Mary's Falls Ship Canal for June shows
that the increase of business i'm that
month was fully as great, proporsionally,
rs was noted in May. The report shows
that in the month Just past the number
os vessels passing the locks was 431: with
IA tonnage of $2s6.40O %. the receipts
from tolls being $S,695 03. In the month
of June, 1876, the ntmberiof vessels
passing, the canal was ,374, with a ton
mage Of f23S, 3S7 75, the receipts from tolls
being 81, ,157 %. This shows ar-iucrease
OF 56 in the number of vessels, 4S,0l2 81
in tonnage. and $1,537 81 in receipts for
tolls. Notwithstanding this heavy in-
crease in business, the new Superintend-
ent, Capt. Spaulding, has managed the
canal in such manner that the boats
have had less detention than ever before
ih locking through, which shows that he
is the right man in the right place. The
vessel men are high i'm their praises OF
his management. The business of the
vessels is principally in carrying iron
ore, although quite Il large fleet is en-
gagged in transporting square and board
timber. Freights are very low, but the
increasing business WOULD Indicate that
it paid better than doing nothing OF
other carrying trade. Should the b,isi-
ness Of tile canal continue as it has been
since the opening of liavieation it inay
be expected that the year will show the
iarge;t receipts tel tolls since the canal
was opened. .. ;s-E sts....t,,,stss
