DEEP WATERWAYS.
Wealth to the Western Farmer IL As
sured nv It's Completion.

For many years the work of creating
deep channels between Lakes Superior,
Huron, Michigan and Eric has been
going on. At length the work is done,
or under contract 10 complete, so that
from all The lakes tw~enty-foot channels
may practically be said to exist. With
the completion of the inter-lake
channels, all the immense and rapidly
increasing navigation converges TO the
common eastern terminus at Buffalo.
The existence Of the great lakes has
made possible the so-called northwest,
since IL has permitted the products Of
the northwest TO reach markets at a
much lower figure than has been
possible by all rail. From Duluth to
Buffalo, eleven hundred miles, il costs
about one-third as much as IL costs TO
transship and transport across New
York state. Increasing competi-
ton from those countries of
the world possessing cheap land
and cheap labor makes IL
imperative on the producers, the farm
ers of the northwest, to search out, II
possible, some way of getting their
crops TO the eastern markets at n lower
rate han they have been getting. To
every producer in the northwest IL will
be Of interest to know that on Septem-
Der 2i-26 there will be a convention
held in the city of Cleveland for the
purpose of developing in a large way
the facts relating to this deep water
navigation from Buffalo eastward.
With a view to decreasing the cost, it
is necessary to use the existing lakes
aud river, with supplementary canals,
and to reduce the cost from Buffalo
east in some such ratio as has been Sc
cured in the upper lakes. An eminent
engineer, c. n. Dutton, who has given
the matter n great deal of study, has
prepared the following statements and
figures, which | beg to present, with
out comment, simply asking hat they
be read aud thought on:
sixteen great states, namely, Ohio, Indi-
ana. Illinois, kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota. Iowa. Missouri, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana,
Wyoming and Colorado, must ship their sur
plus agricultural products from the great
axes to the seaboard. Deep water navigation
would effect an immediate reduction in freight
costs, and consequent increase in crop values
o. an average of i've cents a bushel on grain
and potatoes, four dollars q ton on hay and
nve dollars and upwards a ton on straw.
In the sixteen states most benefited, the
direct money gain, computed on the crop re-
ports OF 1895. will be as follows:

A Novel Fire Nozzle.

A new nozzle for fire bose, which the
inventors claim will so spread stream
of water that it will be twice as effect
i've as a solid stream, was exhibited at
S31 Broadway yesterday to thousand
persons, among them being many Fire
Department officials from this and
neighboring cities, says the New York
Sun. The invention is known as the
ball nozzle. and is based on a discovery
made by Vice. President Pollock of the
Ball Nozzle company. 1t is a remark
able contrivance, and the officers of the
company say that they have submitted
it to men of science, but have never OBJ
tanned any explanation of the way in
which the ball in the nozzle acts.
Briefly. the nozzle is almost exactly the
same in construction as the ordinary
one now in use in our fire department.
The ony difference is that the end is
shaped like a bell and in this bell is
placed a ball of solid, polished rubber.
The ball is loose and there is nothing to
hold it in position except a loop of
brass over the front of the bell to pre-
vent it from rolling out when the hose
is not in use. When the stream is on
full force the guard is unnecessary, al
though one would imagine that the
AOfCt OF the water WOulu uflNe the Ddll
out of the bell like shot from cannon.
On the contrary, however, it holds it
in and the more pressure turned on the
more secure is the ball in the bell. The
ball does not stick tightly against the
outlet, but is held at distance from it
of about a quarter of an inch. The flow
is not in any way retarded by the pres
ence of the ball, but the stream is
spread to a remarkable extent, and
therein lies the efficacy of the nozzle,
says the inventor. A second nozzle for
a solid stream is attached to the hose.
so that the man who is manipulating it
can have either sort of a stream.
A better opportunity OF studying the
principle of the thing was given to the
visitors by means of a number of little
tubes which lined the walls of the room
The tubes projected some inches from
the wall, and a tremendous force of
wind was kept circulating through
them A piece of paper put within an
inch of the tube would be blown half
across the room by the force of the
wind; yet if placed fiat against the tube
it would remain there as snugly as
though there was not a perfect gale of
wind blowing against it. The same re-
