RELIEF TO THE CHICAGO RIVER,

Tho tests Of the machinery at this Fuller
ton nyel,lla conduit have bern 20 satisfactory
that much relief 10 tho Chicago River may .bo
confidently expected from this nuxf1iRry to
tho sewerage System. It was observed Oil
Friday that tho volume Of water pumped
from the hike through this conduit into tic
North Dranclt stirs up the filth AMI corrup-
ton which settle Mt tho bottom, lringstflen to
the surface, anA sets tho SCUM In motion at n
far current. This action shows tho adyisa-
bility Of drawing the water from tho lake
AMI flushing the North Branch in preference
to tho rovotso Of throwing the water Of tho
North Branch into tho lnke. Tic current
thus created will extend through tho entirc
branch (abont thrce miles fl al1), and also
tho cutoff known rs tho Ogden Canal antl
accelerate tho current through the South
branch into tho canal during the
actual operation Of the pumps. If
it be found, as Is anticipated, TINT
ten hours pumping wifi be sufficient 10
keep the North Branch clean, then tho OK
iiaust of tho fall intn the canal will draw
from the Main Branch OF tho river during the
Remaining fourteen hours, and help clean out
that part Of tho river. During the food sea-
son, when the rainfall and the drain Of tilo
Dcsplnines water cause a current through
tho South Branch into tho Alain Branch and
50 Into the luke, the Fullerton avenue pumps
will a}s8 help swell that current and give the
Main Branch inore thorough cleansing
thAn Mt other timcs Fortunately tho flood
season Is in spring, when tic cleansing OF
tho rivor is moro necessary TO health and
comfort tlIan Mt any other seaaon.
tr Il t,.3
TINT the Fullerton avenue conduit will pcr-
form ali tic service for which It WINS
designed, It may DO doubted whether
II larger outlet through the canal
will not bo necessary IN order to fur
n1s!l relief to tho entire river. because
tho exhaust into the canal may prove i1iside-
quAto to the additional current thus created.
This difficulty can bo met temporarily, and
perhaps most chcarfy, by erecting q system
of pumps ut tile point where the South
Branch e1npties into tho canal. This Is the
remedy proposed by DR.. Ra,lrl,, ailtl 1t was
tile plan pursued before the canal WAS deep.
elca. III the end, however, it will be neces-
snry to provide for tho further enlargement
AID deepening Of the caua], which the first
Job in that direction has proved to be tho
truo solution for the sewerage problem.
Unless tho United States Government can be
persuaded to undertake. project for Il ship
and steamboat canal between Luke Michigan
and the Mississippi River, which would incl
dental1y afford Chicago the re1iof It needs,
tile work of again deepening the canal for
sewerage purposes alone will bo included In
the future progress Ut this city. Tho great

will not devote SO much consideration to this

dllclna which, confronts them owing to tho
fact TINT the warehouse capacity IL now cx-
lla1stcd. Tho extraordinary accumulation
Of grnin ut this point Is owing primarily to
tho excessive charges established by the rail-
road combination. A System of oxtortlon on

mendablo speculation Of buying, storing, n,ld
holding grnin ut Chicago for shipment to tho
scaboard when lake navigation shall open.

Ii there any reason Why further

CLOCKS AND WATCHES.

Centennial created n genuine sensation.
Tho Swiss Commissioner found in tho Amerl-

the explanation of tho decline OF tho Switzet-
land foreign trade III watches, but realized
the fact TINT this watch, male with iron
fingers driven by steam, WINS destined soon
to flood the home markets OF his country
men. And he told them so bluntly III lcct-
ure on the subject which, from beginning to
ond, was n glowing tribute to American III
veiitivc genius In this particular department
Of tho arts.
It's a curious fact that tho practical arts
reach tfoir highest t1cgreo OF development in
tho newest Of the worlds civilizations. 1t
has taken more than two thousand years to
perfect tho art Of clock or watch making
from the tima Of Ptolemy to the present,
and from Egypt In the cast to the
United States III tlie wcsk Tho first
clock Of which VIC have any account
worthy the na1no was invented In Aloxan-
dria about 2i5 B. g. One hundred years
iater tic water clock was introduced into
Rome. Tho water clock was very rl,do and
n very imperfect "timeplcca" 1}cckmnnn
describes It as follows: "Tho watcr issued
drop by drop through hole OF the vessel,
and fell into t,nothor, In which light body
tllat fIoated MARKET tho hight Of tho water rs
It rose, and, BY these nloails the time tlat had
elapsed" At first the water ilowel out rap
Idly, and afterwards more slowly, 80 that the
"clock" required much regulation. Tho
wnter clock. with slight variation In form of
construction, served the purposes of mankind
more than thousand years, for 1t was not
until the eleventh century tint clocks moved
by weights aud wheels camn Into use in ELL
rope, Mt first In tho inconsistencies. But tho first
clocks woro very costly,-a luxury Tor tho
great. III 1883 tho Salndin of Egypt sent to
the Empur0r Frederic n clock worth 600
duchts. It was described as resembling "a
celestial globe, III which figures Of tic s,.n,
moon, and other planets, formed with the
g7eatcst skill, moved, being impelled By
weights and wheels, so that. performing their
course In certain and fixed Intervals, they
pointed out tho hour night and day with in
fallib,e certainty"
In the co,rso Of two hundred years tho
people began to want so to speak, to know
tho "tllne O. day." and clocks were placed III
the towers Of public buildings. Hubert,
Prince Of Carrara, caused the first public
clock to be "ercctctl f" ut Padua, some tlmc fn
