MORE WATER WANTED.
Projects to Put the Upper River
Coal on an Equality
WITH THE KlNgWHA ARTICLE
Discussed b. River Nlon Yesterday.
A Series of Wicket Dams Suggested
atPoin;s Thirty Miles Apart-Would
Bo MI Enormous Undertaking.
The Other Plan to Let Fries Waters
into the Ohio.

Yesterday number OF river men
were discussing the river situation,
propects OF a third rise on top of the
two already experienced, what kind Of
a winter is ahead, the improvements
made this season in the channel OF the
Ohio rs told OF the IETELLIGEHcER yes
terday by Colonel stickney, and finally
the discussion became general as to how
Pittsburgh is going to compete in the
future with Kanawha coal. AS ex'
pressed by one the "Kanawha is locked
now pretty near from start to finish,"
and coal from that rich mineral region
can DO taken to Cincinnati and Louis
vile, as well as all the other down-riYer
marts, ut nearly all seasons OF the year,
willie Pittsburgh is restricted to tho
high water periods, that are often US III
the season past OF very short duration.
No Pittsburgh coal has reached the
lower river cities for more than SIX
months, and tho kanawha has enjoyed
unrestricted supremacy.
Two plans were suggested, the adop-
ton Of either of which would put head
water coal operators on m equality with
the lower West Virginians The first
OF these suggestions was that wicket
dams be put in the river ut points
twenty-five or thirty miles apart, these
dams to be on the plan OF the magnl-
iicent one ut Davis Island below Pitts
burgh which has been such great help
to navigation on the Ohio. AS one
gentleman remarked. the money that
has already been spent in improvements
on this river, would pay for such dams
FROM plrrsBURGn TO CINCINNATI,
or veey near it. II ouch series OF gov
eminent works were constructed navi'
CATION would be certain all the year
around. However, it was agreed that
it would kever be possible to secure the
legislation that would contemplate such
stupendous undertaking.
Another plan was proposed, or rather
was recalled; that OF letting into the
Ohio the surplus water oil the great
lakes. II will be remembered that this
project has on several occasions Sen
gagged the public attention, but was last
dropped when Il survey was maze, INC
result OF which embodied in the report
oil the engineers in charge, was to the
effect that tho altitude Of Lake Erie, is
somewhat lower than the Ohio at Roch-
ester Pa, whore it was proposed that
the canal from Erie to the Ohio should
end. OF course even the ingenuity OF
American engineers couldn't evolve u
plan by which the lakes water should
be made to run up hill. 1t is possible
that this plan may again be proposed as
panacea for the upper river mems
troubles. 1t is claimed that the survey
made not long ago was made in the in
terest OF the railroads. who of course do
not want such a project to come to u
successful conclusion, and that the
river ut Rochester is not at higher
altitude than the waters OF Lake Erie.
If such is the case the project is at least
feastible, and the canal could be built.

About twenty-five people start for the

A large party has already made arrange
Inents for the $3.50 train this afternoon,

are received, and the departures to-day
bid fair to equal those OF any previous

dollars less than Oh ordinary days, and
tourists who avail themselves OF the
INTELLIdGScER's services secure the add
vantage OF this reduction, the only
difference being that on other days they
have the sleeping car privilege ii de-

tho C. Il. benson, which left Buffalo
Friday to load with coal Mt Erie for

The Pope Joan Legend.

In spite of the learned historian by
whom the story has been refuted, there
is still widespread popular belief that
there existed in the middle ages a fe-
male pope. Pope Joan, as she is called,
has even given her name to a game of
cards, which is mentioned in Sheridan's
School For Scandal"
The tradition with regard to the fe-
male pope has been traced back to the
eleventh century, but she is said to have
lived much earlier, her pontifcate hay
ing taken place in the ninth century and
having lasted for more than two years.
The name she is alleged to have assumed
is John VII. At the last meeting of the
Academy Of Inscriptions in Paris, M.
Muntz dealt another blow at story
which Gibbon, who cannot be suspected
Of Catholic prejudices, considered had
been ''annihilated" by two Protestant
critics, Blondel and Bayle.
NJ. Muntz characterizes the legend as
a vulgar fable invented in the middle
ages. Never, he declares, after a care.

worn the tiara, and moreover there was

ture on both sides was equal, and whose
free surface temperature on the sur
face OF both forearus was before mas

found, Oh subjecting the left forearm to
gentle upward friction, that while the
temperature in both arlnpits and in the
untouched free surface Of the opposite
limb remained constant, the tempera-
ture Of the left forearm fell in all cases
more than two degrees and in three
cases nearly four degrees.
After firm friction, rolling, squeezing

all cases, the free cutaneous tempera-
ture rose to So degrees, But the armpit

posite side-viz, the right limb sensibly
perspired and the free surface tempera-
ture of the untouched forearm fell to 81

In regard to light friction it has been
impossible to detect any effect on the
