a NEW INVENTION.
By Nh,cA 1t is Thought That Power 10 Rrn
A1ng Extensive Machfaory can 30
Gained at Sms I'll Price.

A new invention in Wichita came to the
surface yesterday. Ii was brought into ex-
istence by DR.. y. B. Culver aud BIZ. William
Crow Three months ago these two gentle
men decided to attempt to arrive a. plan
by which power sufficient to run any amount
of machinery could be gained from rivers OF
little fall The problem seemed difficult
one, but they have at last found system by
which they think that there is no doubt but
that the problem is solved.
The water il conveyed through fore bay,
the sides of which are so constructed as TO
approach each other at an angle OF fifteen
degrees. When they are within fourteen feet
of each other they meet the sides OF the
flume. This is eighty feet long, fourteen
feet wide and about ten feet
high. In tho model now designed three wa
ter wheels work in the flurne. Each wheel is
twenty feet in diameter, making each arm
ten feet. The paddle is twelve feet long and
three feot wide.
The water turned on these wheels Is about
three feet deep. The power given by two OF
the wheels is transmitted to the third by
belts and from this to the point desired.
The wheels are placed on a movable Gill
which can be adjusted to either high or low
water A riss OF three feet will not, how
ever, necessitate change Of elevation One
| can readily see the advantage given by the
plan of the fore Lay. A calculation made
| by che inventors shows as an answer that
| water in stream going at the rate of three
miles an hour will be increased to double
that speed while going through the fume.
This it is claimed viii give each square foot
en- the paddles in tbs water q pressure Of BE-
tween five and six hundred pounds.
A calculation for wheels and hume Of tie
dimensions given above, made by the lnveli-
tors shows that each wheel will give power
equal to 10 horss power, AM the three fur
nish $40 horse power. IL the calculation is
correct, and an actual test shows that i5 Is,
one can readily see that sufficient power can
be gained to run machinery of no small pro-
portions.
Upon the model given there arc six ways
of increasin. the power Extend the fore
bay, widen nums, lengthen arm, widen
paddles, lengthen paddles ana increasing Inc
number of wheels. If the plan does all
claimed for it there is scarcely limit to the
amount of power that can be secured.
The inventors claim that they can expend
81 600, and furnish d two-hundred and fifty
horse power. They think that the plan is
especially adapted to Chisholm creek They
claim that two-bundred can be placed In
that crock, each having that power.
Tho inventors have made application for
a patent and received answer that it will be
allowed. They are confident they have
good ting. and say they intend to work it
for what it is worth. Efforts are being
made to raise company in this city with
capital stock of $50, 600 to put tho invention
to practical test.

THE GREAT BALL.

The great event of the season was tbs Po-
liceman's Ball last evening The genial face
of Officer 200 Stewart, who Supplied the
place OF the incumbent, Onioer Lilly, had
gotten driuk-of water, shone out Through
the ticket window, "Wel, how is tonight,
joel" Booming" faid that officer with
smile on his face. Following tho crowd to
the door the handsome figures of Jap Mar
latt and Dan Parks stood ready tto receive
tho little green paste boards for admission.
walk I'M said the latter, mot much OF
crowd yet" That was policeman's manner
of saying the house was crowded, jsmmed,
packed.
When on the inside of the room, Shaws
orchestra struck up and the crowd in
the middle of tho floor whiried
off into the merry dance and
many who could not get a place kept time to
the music and awaited an opportunity to
take the places of those now upon the floor.
Judge Balderston's magnificent figure was
moving rythmatically around in our corner
Of tho hall. "Aust dance, and not muca
room for anything else than this" and the
Judge continued his solitary waltz. Capt
Richey had crowd around him whom he
was entertaining with telling how he used TO
dance. Tom McNamara was circulating
among the fsirer sex; and a large number OF
prominent and well known society young
men were noticed among the crowd who re-
ouestod their names mentioned, but want Oh
space prevents. Charley Ham
brow was trying to push back
the sursing crowd; Frank Brasier
and Officer Mckee wero up in the gallery
watching ths boys and trying to keep some
of them from dropping over upon tho floor
The seats along the sides of the room were
taken but those who sat down were shut OF
from a view of the dancers by thecrowd that
interviewed. Every one was in good humor
and all appeared to most heartily enjoy the
occasion.
At 1880 an elegant supper was spread by
Messrs Hanablin g. Bell, Of the Model Cafe.
These gentlemen spared no pains to get up
everything in astyle well in keepi-g with
the other features Of the ball, and gave salts
faction to all.
The boys may we'll congratulate themselves
upon the great success that attended their
second annual ball. Everything went of
pleasantly, not a disagreeable feature to mar
the whole occasion.

TIRED Or LEE.

Yesterday near noon it became known
that Miss Matte Berry, who has for Some
days been a domestic az the residence OF
Mrs Smith. a. 3o5 North Topeka avenue,
had attempted suicide by taking morphins.
The would-bs victim suffered soms time
before allowing anyone to know what was
the cause of the trouble. When it Became
known, however, a messenger was dispatched
for Doctors J. E. Bennett and E F. Whit
lock- They arrived on the seems IN due
time and soon found they had in hand
number one case of hystsria.
The would-be victim had been dis
charged yesterday morning and soon
after hearing the latest dispatches repaired
to q drug store and secured some morphine
pills, of which she took four, making in ali
one-half grain. This amount is not con-
sidered exceedingly dangerous for adults
Miss Berry near two weeks ago startled
the people at boarding house on North
Water street by attempting suicide over tue
same route. Il it thought she will be un-
successful, this time as usual Her sensa-
tons ara getting rather common, and soms
one may be led to exclaim rats il at
tempted many more times.
