Arrangement Of Canal Locks.

Quite an achievement has recently
been achieved by French engineers in
the arrangement or working of canal
locks, by which the principle of
the common hydraulic elevator is
in part applied to the raising of the
boats. One of these locks, or, as they
may be termed, elevators, has been
for some time in successful operation
on the line of the Neuffosse. in the
northern part of France. This sys-
tenn. briefly described. consists in rais-
ing and lowering canal boats by simply
balancing their respective weights. the
process being assisted by hydraulic
pressure. The traffic on the canal in
question. from the Atlantic to the
highlands of Northeastern France,
through the Department of Pas de
Calais. is sale to have reached some
eight hundred thousand tons per year,
and in order to raise each boat up the
ninety-eight feet incline at Fontfnetses
has required. under the ordinary sys-
tenn. some FIVE or six hours. The en-
gineers having learned of the con-
struction in England OF a hosting ap-
paratus for eighty-ton boats on the
canal connecting the Trent and the
Mersey, it was decided by them to
adopt that plan for this purpose, en-
larging and strengthening the
chambers" so as to raise a boat Of
three hundred tons, and on this prin-
ciple the traffic is now carried on.-N.

Signing Of the Declaration.

The Magazine of American History
presents historic and incontrovertible
reasons for believing that the Declare
ton of Independence was not signed
by any one on the Fourth of July, 1776,
except by John Hancock as president
and by Charles Thompson as secretary;
that the engrossed copy which had
been made on the Fourth of July was.
by happy afterthought. signed gen.
orally August 2; that the approving
vote was not unanimous or July 4,
but was approved by several; that one
OF those who was present July and
approved is not among the s;gners
enrolled; that at least one-eighth of
the signers were not even members Of
Congress on July 4. 1776. So history
gets pulled to pieces and facts displace
some very pleasant and romantic aa.
