NOVEL SUGGESTIONS FOR CAR.
RYlNG FREIGHT ON LOW
WATER-sToRY or AN uN
FORTUNATE PILOT.

A correspondent ct the Waterways
Journal has evolved novel scheme
for carrying freight ON the Missouri
river. which, If ii works out. might
be tried on the Ohio. He writes
Suppose our Missouri river people
had set Of barges so constructed
that they could be bottled together as
one piece CT hull, and if occasion
demanded nncOuple and used separ
ated MY scheme would be to build
five barges 400 feet long and % feet
beam ON the bread horn order Or box
fashion. Since all would be Of the
same size they would always maks .
paralielogran when hitched up, eth
err two or three abreast Now is the
time we would get our Six floats and
make them into body OF 75x200 and
load the two middle ones TO FIVE feet
or even six feet draft and pull a plug
In the bottom Of the four outside
barges and emerse them the same
depth This is done so all six can be
coupled together When this is done
syphon pumps ont the water AMI
the four empty barges wifi fit the
middle ones a foot or two and by this
means freight can be handled on four
feet Of water 10 adyahtage The plan
can be made still more profitable *
the float barges would be kept at GER
tain bad stretches Of the RIVER and,
need not be towed from St LOUIS to
Kansas CITY If enough floats can be-
built cheap and quick at the same
time and NOT much would be lost IL
the experiment did not pan out as
well as imagine it would My scheme
Is the same as if big yhesLsof COOK

that this is especially true of asphalt
