EXPLANATION:-The diagram shows
the wheel in the fume immersed to depth
of six feet. Wheel is % feet diameter;
16 paddles; space between each paddle
at the outer rim, five feet five inches.
The paddles are set at an angle to the
spokes and are thus seven feet long.
The inner rim, to which the inner end
Of the paddles are attached, is 16 feet
in diameter, or slightly more than SO feet
in circumference. The spece between the
inner ends of the paddles is three feet
one inch. The width of each paddle is
four feet. At five revolutions per minute

are 16 feet deep and "a feet wide at
the bottom. The building up of the
dixie and the digging of the ditch was
done by a dredge which, starting at
the river, dug its own channel around
the tract, the earth taken out in the
operation beng dumped on the outside
to form the dixie. Running straight
across the tract are five smaller
bitches, joining both ends with the
main ditch. At the corner of the tract
where the north and east sections eff
feet junction, at the lowest point,
the power house was erected and the
water wheel and the machinery to op-
crate it installed. Under the power
house and cutting straight through
the dixie there is sluiceway four feet
wide and so feet long by 16 feet deep,
constructed of concrete. In this flume
the water wheel is set, its shaft ad-
justed so that it's wood paddles are
vii or-fn Of
smooth fiat walls and bottom of the
fiume. On the outlet end, where the
wall is rounded to conform to the cir
conference of the wheel for a dis
lance of six feet from the bottom
the end of the paddles slip along the
surface and discharge the water into
the outer sluiceway.
The wheel is % feet in diameter and
four feet wide and constructed en-
tirely of steel. The wood paddles are
bolted on at decided angle to the
wheel spokes, in order to permit the
water to flow off more freely as the
wheel revolves and the paddles pass
the mouth of the sluiceway. This is
necessary because the water is not
raised as high as the wheel axis, at
which point the spokes would be
parallel to the surface of the stream.
There are 16 Of the paddles and when
the wheel is in operation they are the
important factor in lifting the water
from the ditch to the river beyond.
The great wheel Is arousing much
interest because Of its novelty and
large capacity. and as yet Is the only

one so used in this country. The
small expense of operation is it's chief
recommendation, and when one con-
siders that it has drained seven miles
of 34-foot ditch, six to seven feet
deep, in less than ten hours, hea has
some idea of what it could do in drain
ing swamps and marshes now covered
with water at all seasons of the year.
To operate the wheel there is pro-
vided heavy continuous gearing with
five-inch face, which is bolted securely
to the rim and which engages pair
of Pinch spur-gears, mounted on a
counter-shaft, which in turn is con-
nected by betting to the engine shaft.
The engine is 125 horsepower of the
ordinary slide valve type, supplied
with steam from a fire-tube boiler.
When operated at its full capacity the
wheel revolves five times a minute and
will take foot of water off an acre
of land in six minutes.

BILE confession that he could not resist
the temptation of being pickpocket,
although his business as a respectable
manufacturer of rugs in Brooklyn
yielded him more money than he
needed, is said by the police to reveal
a double life almost unparalleled in
the records of crime.
Wolf is now in Jail for the second
time within month. The first time
he was caught in Brooklyn he succeed
ed in convincing the policeman he was
q reputable business man, and was re-
leased. The next time the proof
seemed so conclusive, despite his pro-
te.tations. that he was held.
The day his trial on that charge was
to come up he left court and short
time later was arrested in a subway
station for attempting to pick mans
pocket.
His one best trick was to indignant
ly pull his business card, but in this
instance it did not work. His identity
as the Brooklyn suspect was estab
lished, and he was taken there.
Now he has confessed to District
Attorney Clark that his training while
a youth as pickpocket was too much
for him and. try as he might, he could
not overcome the fascination of reliev
ing unwa7y passengers on cars of their
w%alth.
