velocity Of water flowing out of All

feet. The velocity Of n stream Of water
| flowing from a ditch or other source
is equal to that which a heavy falling
body would acquire in falling from a
lheight equal to the distance between

of the orifice. This distance is called
the head of water. The quantity Of
water issuing from an apperinre is IN
! proportion to the square root Of the
head, and the velocity is IN proportion
to the square root Of the bend, With

that railroad a fleet of passenger ships,

with the railway there is line Of steamers
running from New York to Colon. The
railway is n valuable piece Of property and
pays it's dividends regularly. The govern

railroad and the steamers During the con
struction of the canal the railroad will be
