which for centuries has been barren
for lack of water. The canal and
bitches offer nothing unusual. but the
great siphon is one of the most in
teresting Of engineering feats in many
years.
The siphon consists Of two great
tubes each $500 feet long and 70 feet
inches in diameter. with capacity
of 200 gallons of water per second
says Popular Mechanics The tubes
are built of concrete made around
wooden forms. and bound at frequent
intervals with steel hoops. The in
side Is lined with steel plate. and the
tubes when done were covered with
earth for protection and strength.

Automatic Depression Recorder for
Control Of Mine Ventilation,

Of air actually drawn into the mines
by means Of the fans, as inferred from
the depression IN the shafts, is OBJ
tanned, and Se engineer can at all
times accurately ascertain whether Or
not ventilation is efficient The con
struction of the instrument Is based
upon the hydrostatic principle, says
Scientific American.
The recorder comprises a cylinder
in which works a perfectly-balanced
float, Of great sensitiyeness, moving
in an inner receptacle. Instead Of using
water. which occasions constant trou-
bic through evaporation and cen.
densat!on, whereby the volume is con
tinuously varying, slycerine is EN-
ployed so that reeharging and adjust
ment OF the apparatus are obyiated,
The instrument is attached directly to
the ventilatlng shaft by means of a
flexible tube Connected with the device
Just below the cover plate. The De.
preston existing In the shaft acts
upon the surface Of the glycerine con
rained in the vessel sur@og.lding 10
central chamber, thereby causing /
movement either upward or downward
Of the glycerine within the inner cyl
nder containing the float.
Attached to the float is a beam or
lever carrying the recording pen,
which inscribes the reading upon a
calibrated cxlrt attached to the top
of the instrument The rod which
connects the float with this register,
ing lever passes through a large oval
aperture in the coter plate OF the
glycerine cylinders, so that it has alb.
solutely free play, and friction is en-.
tlrely avoided.
When depression in the shaft acts
upon the glycesine. the Impulse thus
set up is Immediately transmitted to
the recording pen, which makes a
corresponding movement upon the
chart. the zero line of which is at
the top. The drup carrying the chart
is fitted with a five weeks clock
movement. and records ranging over
periods of twenty-foar hours or seven
days as may be required can be OBJ
tanned
A modification Of the instrument has
been used as a draft gauge for boile
and furnaces
