What Water Can Do.

Imagine a perpendicular column of water
more than one-tfird of a mile high, twenty
six inches In diameter at fhe top and TWEEN
ty-four Inches In diameter at the bottom
Those remarkable conditions are COMPLIED
with, as far as power goss, III the Mill Creek
plant. which operates under q head of
1.9e0 feet. This little column of water
which, II liberated would be just about
enough to make a small trout stream. gives
a capacity of 800 horse power or enough
power to run a good-sized ocean-going ves-
sci. As the water strikes the buckets OF the
water wheel it has a pressure OF $50 pounds
to the square inch. What this pressure
implies is evidenced by the fact that the
average locomotive carries steam at a pres
sure OF 100 or 200 pounds to the square inch.
Were this stream, as it issues from the
nozzle, turned upon a hillside, the earth
would fade away before 1t like snow before
a Jet of steam. Huge bowlders big as city
Offices, would tumble into raviaes with as
little effort as clover burr is CARED before
the hydrant stream on a front lawn. Brick
