As will be seen by illustration, the dam is
a movable one, composed of q number of
sections four feet wide from center to CEN
ter, and composed of wood and iron. The
dam is called movable because it can be
either raised or lowered. In the former
case it holds the water back in a pool in the
same way as a fixed dam; in the latter it
allows the water to pass over it, leaving the
riverfree to navigation. For convenience
in handling, the dam is divided into three
parts: the navigable pass, the low weir and
the high weir. Each of these parts has a
very firm foundation of masonry, to which
are fastened the sills and other parts that
must be held securely in place. Tho high
est point Of foundation of the pass is two feet
below low water; that of the low wier is at
the level of low water, and that of the
high weir is three feet above low water. A
pier Is paced between the pass and the low
weir, and another between the low and high
weirs. With a dam of this sort, it is yeTy
easy 10 maintain a constant depth of six
feet above low water at the head of the
pool. This can be done whether the river
be on the rise or on the fall. In cases of
emergency the whole dam may be thrown
down in about ten minutes.
The outcome of this Improvement will
not only facilitate ferryboat and steamboat
travel, but will result in a permanent reduc.
ton on the rates for heavy freights for this
country OF Allegheny and far down tbe
Ohio river.
If this lam withstanis the crusb of H.,
which comes down the river in the sprino
foods, aud is otherwise reliable, similar inn
p~rovements will be constructed at points
between here and the Mexican gulf.

MAP OF PITTSBURG N VICINITY.
The above shows the location OF the Davis
Island dam and the portions of the Ohio,
Monongahela and Allegheny rivers that are
now rendered navigable at all times of
year, when the river is open Tbs unreli-
ability of the flow of water in these rivers
has been a constant annoyance to business
interests and a source of danger to the
health of our city. In the spring and fall
these rivers swell to a depth sufficient to
float an ocean steamer; then at other times
there has scarcely been a foot OF water in
the channel. Our river boats are construct
ed with a view to t heir being able to navi-
ture in the Monongahela rivers led is at
times insufficient to even float them. They are
then compelled to lay idle, often for months
In the year. AT SUCH times spectators could
bull the coal market Town the river so that
at Cincinnati it has even been quadrupled
in price owing to the ~stoppage of naviga-
ton. To remedy this difficulty perma-
nently the dredging or lowering of the
channel would not be sufficient, as that
would again fill up, besides being an enter.
prise to start with OF about the magnitude
of the Panama canal. The board of engi-
neers organized in 1874 to solve the problem
decided on a lam to be constructed across
the Ohio at Davis island, about five miles
below the city. This dam is on a principle
which has worked satisfactorily in France,
and whether it will stand the wear an1 tear
of the ice foes in the spring is the only quss-
ton now. The dam an1 lock have given
every evidences of working satisfactorily for
the past ten days.

d Opinion.

Mrs. Geo. Gilbert, Bryan, Ohio, writes:
aDR. S. B. HARTMAN SEQ, Columbus,
Ohio: commenced on the fifth bottle of
your PERUNA this morning, and should
Just as soon think of doing without my
meals as without my medicine. !
have been d~octoring for about four
years, and kept getting worse all the
lime and was just giving up in despair
when / got one of your books, The Ills
Of Life" / was in bed at the time. |
read and re-read your book and felt like
trying your medicine. My folks thought
there was no use in trying anything more,
I was too far gone, and might as well
make up my mind to die. | told them
PERUNA was the medicine ] needed, and
intended to try a bottle. 1t proved sue
cess in breaking the chills, and if it had
not done n thing more, | would have
been satisfied. But it has done more, and
l feel like another person. Everybody
that sees me is surprised to see me looking
SO well, as they all thought / was dying
with consumption, and now my own folks
have as much 20 say for the PERUNA as
l. | recommend it to everybody / see.
There were two of our neighbors in yes
terday inquiring about the PERUNA. !
gave the one my book to read; told her
to bring it back, as l priced it very high
ly. The other got the name of the Pc
RUNA to send to his son in Chicago. He
is a telegraph operator. My disease is
something similar to Mrs. Milo Migrants,
though nothing compared to being so bad.
There was a lump raised on my collar
bone, and it was a long time before it
lo0ked like openino The doctor said hi
would have to lance it in a few days, but
/ thought I would attend to that myself,
SO l put a little fly blister on it and it
opened; then | put a poultice on and then
salve, and kept the salve on all the time.
1t got so bad and spread upon my left
shoulder, and one place under my left
breast. Then there were two places on
my head, one near the temple and one
back of my ear that was just dreadful.
No tongue can tell what I suffered. My
head felt so strange sometimes, / thought
| was going crazy. Since I have used
the PERUNA Il don't use the salve any
more) my sores healed up right away.
And oh, what a relief it is to get around
without chilling and having to suffer with
my sores. I feel like letting everybody
know all about it."

Then the calf is set free. 1t is watched
during the progress of the inflammation.
In something over a week 1t is ready for the
virus to be removed. A coating is formed
over the scratched patches. The animal h
tied up again and the coating is lifted. A
yellowish fluid exudes from beneath. This
is the virus. Once more the young doctor
draws ON his plaid overall. The calf Is
strapped upon n table. The doctor takes
round pieces of quill and rolls them over and
over in the exuding fluid. Thisi is called charg.
ing the quills. One calf will charge dozens
of these quilts. When ready they are cut
into smaller bits AMI sold TO druggists the
country over. 1t is generally quite safe
to get the quilts from the ~druggiSt. They
may be relied on as pure, though they are
not always fresh. Tney are apt.to be jus.
now, however, since in the cities near
where vaccine farms are located the boards
of health ara inoculating ows and calves
and preparing tho virus as fast as they eau,
Even then, with their best efforts, they
canno supply the demand.
