Partment Exhibit In the Government
Building at the Worlds Columbian Ex-
hibition
Maj. Mackenzie is busily engaged to-
day. experimenting the packing and
shipping of the contributions of his Office
to the Worlds Fair at Chicago. These
promise to be among the most interesting
and unq lie in the government collection,
ard the chief beauty which attaches TO
them is. they afford practical view of
the work done by Maj Msckepzie's
corps of engineers on the Mississippi anu
the benefits wrought to navigation and
inland water commerce The exhibits
FORWARDED by the Office here, consist of
pictures, charts, maps and diagrams, to-
gethor with two realistic reproductions
of section of the river channel near
Pine Bend, MINI. These exhibits are Of
dimensions of 45 by 20 inches. and were
designed and constructed by Engineer
Bosse. They are exact reproductious from
surveys, the scale being one inch to 200
feet horizontally and one inch TO ~ feet
vertically. By means of wire and pieces
of sponge properly arranged and colored,
1000 trees are shown in the two ex-
hibits.
Practical Illustrations.
These two reproductions offer COM
prehensive idea of the system of river
improvements as now carried out by the
government The section of the river
taken for example was formerly one of
the worst and most difficult of navigation
on the entire stream. The two exhibits
show the condition of the stream before
and after improvements in 9 manner el-
tirely true to nature. representing the
bluffs, islands, the crooked channel orig
| inslly, and the improvement shown by
| the dams which divert the water flow,
| the policy Of the engineering department
to fill up between the d ms and give
the river new and straighter channel,
while the nature of the dams and shore
protection is shown in a manner to be
| readily unders God. Mr. lsee has
worke q three months on the designs, and
they are in themselves examples of his
| ability, skill and accuracy.
Three similar designs have teen pre-
pared at Keokuk from views about the
Des Moines Rapids canal, one showing
the head of the dry dock gates, with the
filling and emptYing arrangements, an
other the method of constructing the
dams and shore protection and the third
the various types of dams in use.
