Flow of Wate
Over a Weir
An InventiUe Genius Thinks He
Has Solved a Problem.

O.C. Patton, Rio Grande railroad
brakeman residing at Grand Junction,
is the inventor of self registering water
gauge for irrigating bitches ard canals
that was givep public test yesterday
af ernoon at Orchard Place in the pres
ence OF State Engineer McCune and a
number Of irrigation engineers. The
machine proved entirely satisfactory in
every way.
Patton read a newspaper advertise
ment written by distracted farmer
who was willing to pay a handsome cum
to any person who could get up gauge
that would correctly register the flow Of
water over a weir. Like many other
farmers, he was paying so much a cubic
foot for his water, but he was unable to
tell whether he was getting what he
payed for unless he employed man to
watch the weir C instantly. Tbs gauges
Low in use are expensive, complicated
get out Of order easily, and half the
time do not register correctly Patton
had already invented a patent automatic
car coupler and new style railroad
spike, from which he expects 10 make
barrels of money, and applied himself to
the gauge problem.
The gauge il set in box arrangement
along the ditch, 10 or is feet from the
flowing in the box operate a perpe. ..dicu-
lar. bar which in turn controls cross
bar at the top Of the machine. 10 this
cross bar is attached lead pencil which
registers on roll OF paper. A clock
moves the paper along on the surface Of
the box. The paper is divided into hour
sections OF four Is minute divisions
while each division is cut up into lie
inch wide blocks. The swaying OF the
water moves the bar, and this in turn
q the lead pencil over the paper. rs
latter is propelled by the clock, SO that
the flow over weir every minute In the
day Is registered on the paper. The
amount Of cubic feet Ter secoLd can
then be figured accurately by the for
mulae used at the weir at any time the
farmer may see At to measure the flow
Of his ditch. The gauge is said to work
with such accuracy that it will register
the evaporation In barrel Of water.
The machine has sheet iroG cover
and it can be locked up and allowed to
run for week without interference.
At the end OF that time the owner may
uncover it and tell exactly the amount
Of water he has been receiving on his
land at any hour In the week. 1t has
attached to 1t an electrical arrangement
which may be connected with bell in
the farmers house. This can be ad-
justed that the bell will ring whenever
the water is lower than the farmer bar
gains for with the ditch company,
Patton has applied for letters patent
on tho invention In the meantime he
will ontinue to hold his job on the Rio
Grande and will devote his savings to
manufacturing the water gauge Den

up again. I
Again we were impressed with the beauty fthe
scene, and we walked quietly, with a becoming
reverence, to the tombs, but were forbidden to enter
them, the Sheik declaring the burial place to be too
holy to.be desecra ted by mortal foot. We surveyed
the exte rior, and were convinced that though Jose
plus does not mention the pyramid on the top of
the tombs-the geometrical structures can be seen
for miles around-thesea are really the tombs of the
Maccabees. Some of the pyramical stone has been
used for the building of the village at Ramleh and
other villages, but sufficient remains to make the
design clear.
| made a few inquiries on the commercial aspect
of affairs. The land is extremely fertile, and the best
in this part Of the country. 1t is at present stocked
with 800 olive trees, 1000 vines, 100 almond trees,
and sixty fig trees. Eleven cisterns, hewn out of the
solid rock, are on the estate, as well as an ancient
oil press still used. ascertained that the land is for
sale, and the Knights of the Maccabees, a Canadian
Protestant organization, are trying to purchase it.
Three families could be well maintained here, and
though the land is badly titled, it yields a good
profit.
A last look around, and we descended the hills,
made our way to Lydia, and took the prosaic nine
tenth century train back to Jaffa.

manner, and at Deraboro Salameh. a good billy rise,
we were rewarded with a view of Midia, or Modin,
on the crest Of the Hill Of Modin, called by the Arabs
"Midia the Holy because it is the site Of the
tombs of the Maccabaans. The Arabs regard this
hill as sacred, for they worship the heroes Of Cha
nuka as prophets and pious men. Before us lay a
magnificent panorama of ploughed valleys, sloping
gently upward toward Modin. As we descended
and assembled again, the scene often changed in
detail, but it was always beautiful.
At length we reached the top of the hill, to find a
natural fortress before us. Eyes least trained to
regard places from the military point of view could
recognize that nature had here made an impregnable
position, and as we assembled the last slope the
memory OF the gallant rush of these Jewish heroes
thrilled me. One of the most prosaic individuals, l
yet felt my heart t~hrobbing violently, as every step
brought the past nearer and nearer to me, and my
mind conjured up q picture of ten thousand Macca-
beams and a few Calling guns mounted in the
natural embrasures-when we might hold this site
of Jewish g~allantry against the world.
From the crown of the hill we marked the sun
setting, all the gorgeous beautiful colors of the East
filled the sky. Not in all Europe can the like of this
picture be seen. Below lay the villages hidden in the
purple twilight shadows to the north, along the
western horizon to the south, stretched the calm
Mediterranean, the blue and orange tinted waves
lining the colonies of Baron Edmund de Rothschild
and the village of Narlean. Long we gazed at the
peaceful scene, watching the roseate hues fading
gradually, and then we took a look at a sterner
vista-the Beth Huran and the rugged hill country
that bounds the east, seen in the shadows of the
deepening n~ightfall.
We made for the village with some haste after
Gus long sh rest. 1t contains some fifty inhabitants,
all hnel-ooking peasants. Five minutes further
brought us to an enclosure, built OF stone, FIVE feet
high. Within, we found that some fftyseven Eng
lish acres were so enclosed, and this enclosure con
stituted the site of the to nbs of the Maccabees. We
entered a welLbuilt house, containing two large
rooms, and Sheik Mahomed bade us welcome in
Arabic fashion-Salam Alakem and Baruch Aba.
We are invited to dine with the Sheik; a fire is
lit, tea prepared, eggs boiled, and straw laid on
boards to constitute our beds.
After dinner we have a long conversation with

Popularity the bumped or hook nose constitutes
the most distinctive feature of the Jewish face, says
Popular Science. Observations among the Jews, in
their most %populous centres, do not, however, bear
out the theory.
Thus Majer and Kopernichi 1855, in their ex-
tended series, found only nine per cent. Of the hooked
type-no greater frequency than among the Poles; a
fact which Wiessenberg confirms as to the relative
scarcity Of the convex nose in profile among his
South Russian Jews. He agrees, however, that the
nose is often large, thick, and prominent. Weisbach
(1877 measured the facial features of nineteen Jews
and found the largest noses in a long series of people
from all over the earth; exceeded in length. in fact,
by the Patagonians alone. The hooked nose is, in
deed sometimes frequent outside the Jewish people.
Olechnowicz found, for example, over a third of the
noses of the gentry in S Southeast Poland to be of this
hooked variety.

Hon. Leonard Courtney, N. p, writ
ing for the latest Encyclopedia Brit.
tanica says:
1t was, for example, formerly general
ly allowed to be part of the business of
a banker to borrow money by Issuing
which passed from hand to hand as
money, within the sphere Of the opera
tions Of the banks, and the banks thus
borrowing honey were called the banks
OF issue; but 1t has been concluded of
late years that the fnnction of issuing
notes passing on delivery as money
should be reserved to the state, or for
some institution controlled or directed
by the state. These statements
show the inc xpediency OF leaving the
issue of paper to the unregulated dis
cretion OF an indefinite number of COM
peting banks. It's Issue ought In all
cases to be governed by the state of the
exchange.
England suppressed the issue OF El
bank notes in 1925, in order to limit
and control banknote issues. In 1874
further limitations were enacted.
Prof. Jevous, an English economist Of
recognized ability, in his work on
"Money and the Mechanism Of Ex-
change" page 3l7. says:
According to the view which sdopt,
the issue of n otss Is more analogous to
the royal function of coinage than ia
the ordinary commercial operation OF
drawing bills, for though the
design is impressed on paper instead OF
on metal, the function Of the note is ex-
aotly the same as that OF representa-
tive token. AS to the right to issue
promises, ii no more exists than the
right to establish private mints.
As almost every one has long since
agreed to place the coinage Of money In
the hands OF the government, or iti
agents acting under the strictest legisla
tive control. M. Wolowski. in his ad
mirabe works on banking, has main
taintd that the issue o. notes is a func,
ton Distinct from the ordinary function
Of banker; and Mr. GladstoIe has al
lowed that the distinction is q whole
SONS and vi al one.
