Ample Water supplr.

Local Industrial agents complain
that there is an erroneous impress
sion in manufacturing centers of the
country that there is a scarcity OF
water here, and under this false
impression they give the agents
very little encouragement when
they seek to interest them in propo-
sitions to locate their plants in
Clarksburg. This false idea con.
corning the water supply doubtless
results from the fact that several
years ago there was a water famine
here. The occasion was most ex-
traordtnary one, there being a
drouth of great severity all over the
country. at that tine Clarksburg

oh, ye hypocrites!


After decade of agitation the
preservation of Niagara Falls as a
natural wonder is assured by the
waterways treaty between Great
Britain and the United States, which
will become effective in this coun-
try March /.
Recent photographs of the great
cataract, compared with those taken
from a similar position tifteens and
twenty years ago, show that nc
damage has been done to the ap-
Ipearance of the Falls, despite the
fear at one time that the drawing
on of water for power production
would destroy the spectacle. The
Burton law interviewed as tenn
Iporary expedient, but will give way
next month to the waterways treaty,
which runs Indefinitely unless
terminated by either nation upon a
years notice.
international action in response
to public opinion has not only saved
Niagara Falls in undiminlshed
splendor, but it has proved that the
cataract is mighty enough to run
factories and trolley cars and light
streets and at the same. time remain
a scenic masterpiece.
The engineers upon whose inYesti.
cations the waterways treaty was
based, found that the amount Of
water diverted on the american side
which by the Burton law is limited
to us 900 cubic feet per second
could be increased without damage
to 10000 cubic feet. according tc
official estimates the use OF an ad.

They do ell that dangerous calomel

All the benefits of nasty. sickening,

Olive Tablets without gripping, pain

DR.. F. NJ. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of pfac-

To Ascertain the Velocity Of
the Flow of Streams is
Here Told.

WASHINGTON, D. &C., Feb. IL
The sUnoted States Geological Sur
5vey often receives letters fnquiring
for some simple method Of de-
termining the approximate flow of
streams or small rivers. 1t is be-
lieyed the following instructions
may be of some value to those who
for any reason wish to determine the
velocity or volume Of stream.
To ascertain the velocity of 4
stream choose a place where z the
channel is straight for 100 or 200
feet and has a nearly constant width
and depth. Lay of on the bank a
line fifty or 100 feet in length,
marking each end; then allow small
chips to float down the stream, by
one of the methods described below
noting the time required for these
to traverse the distance laid of on
the bank. The surface velocity in
feet per second is obtained by d.
viding the distance in feet passed
over by the float by the the time in
seconds it take the float to travel
the distance. The average of sew
eral such determinations will give
the mean surface velocity of the
stream. This result multiplied by
the coeffcient 0. so gives very nearly
the mean velocity of the stream.
To obtain the area of the cross
section ofsthe stream, stretch tape
from shore to shore and take the
depth of theostgeam at intervals Of
two to- FIVE: feetqg The average OF
these depths may be assumed as the
mean depth 81 the stream. This
average multiplied by the total
width wiflsgive the area of. the cross
section Of the stream is square feet.
The discharge is found by multi
plying this cross.sections area by the
mean velocity, as obtained by the
float measurements, the result Civ
ing the discharge In second-feet, or,
ia other words, the number of cubic
feet flowing past the point OF
measurement each second.
In determining the velocity for
small streams and when only approx.
mate results are desired. the float is
placed in the center of the stream
only. For larger streams and when
greater accuracy is desired, tape is
stretched across the stream and the
distance between the banks is d.
vided into a number of equal spaces
or sections. Floats are then al
lowed to WRIT down the stream as
near as possible to the center OF
each of these spaces, the same
number of floats being used for each
section. The mean surface veIoc-
ity is then assumed to be the mean
of the surface velocities obtained
for the several sections. For each
float the distance of its starting
point from the right bank is re-
corded las indicated.
