MOVABLE CANAL LOCK.
Ingenious Self Propelled Device For
Moving Boats Up an incline.

Ingenious Self Propelled Device For
Moving Boats Up an Incline.
Engineer Giuseppe Bartolomei Of
Rome has recently invented a movable
self propelled canal lock, which forms
one of the cleverest and most ingen-
iOus advances since the employment
Of canals for transportation purposes
was begun.
The movable canal lock as designed
by SignOr Bartolomei consists primari-
~ Of paddle wheel placed across the
section of the canal. with the axis Of
the wheel resting on iron rails set
into the retaining walls ut the sides.
1t is presupposed that the canal is an
Inclined one, as otherwise there would
be no use for locks. The canal may
have an inclination of from to 6 or
even Z per cent, and the grade need
not necessarily he constant, but differ
cnt stretches have different grades.
The model canal built by Signor
Bartolorhei near Rome is about eighty
feet long, the width between the rails
fourteen inches. while the distance
from the base Of the canal to the run
ming base Of the rails is six inches.
The sides of the canal are perpendicu-

AS may be readily seen from the
dra wings. the paddle wheel just about

quantity Of water to pass under the

The wheel Is then locked by II simple
device. and the water backs up for a

A separate canal should be used for

Of the wheel for the descent Is carried
upon a truck supported by four wheels
running directly upon the rails. With
the action of hand wheel the wheels
on either side of this truck may be

the power will be transmitted through
the two wheels direct to the rails. The
rails of the truck will turn in the OPP

ter wheel, and as they and not the
water wheel axis rest on the rails the
boat and the wheel are propelled
downstream with the same velocity as

A HEALTH HINT.
Conditions Favorins Disease.

DhoSoSCs
Dirt, dust and darkness are alike
favorable for growth and propa-
cation of germ life. Dark closets,
damp Easements, and dust-laden
rooms are dangerous for this
reason. Light, fresh air and
cleanliness, then, count for much
as factors that make for health.
Before one can possibly contract
a communicable disease two things
are requisite-the presence of the
germs that cause it and the con-
dition of the body conducive to
their growth. So, by maintaining
Clearly conditions as to both our
indoor and outdoor surroundings
and by keeping our bodies strong
and healthy, we can, to large
degree at least, secure immunity
from communicable diseases,
