GREAT ENGINEERING OCEAN STEAMSHIPS BETWEEN NEW YORK AND CHICAOO. A $200,000,000 Ship Canal to Con¬ acre liitlic Erie With the Sea¬ board— l>lflli'iiltics Overcome. Y 1 I 7UK fered boldest for plans ship canal hitherto between of* , a Lake Erie and the seaboard . have nono of them contem¬ plated less than thirty-five locks, and one of the most feasible would have required fifty-five. To bo adequate for the traffic they wonld boar these locks would have to bo as capacious as the new lock at Sault Hto. Marie, the largest and finest in the world. The latter is 80ft feet long, 100 feet wide and 21 * feet deep, and is costing more than $5,000,000. With locks like the Sault, the cost for lifts alone for the contemplated ship canal would bo at least $175,000,000 on tho Ht. Lawrence route, and upwards of $260,000,000 on what is known as tho Oswego route, piat is to say, from Os¬ wego to the Hudson. [So long as nine¬ teenth century engineering was unable to advance beyond tho lock invonted by Leonardo da Vinci, about the time that Columbus discovered America, the problem could not be solved. The cost would have been too great for even Government undertaking. It has remained for an American en¬ gineer to cut tho Gordian knot by the invention of a new lock, exceedingly simple in design, easy and cheap of construction, and quickly and inex ponsivley operated. In 1800 Chaun coy N. Dutton, a young Pittsburg en¬ gineer, took out in the principal countries in tho world letters patent for what, he described hh a pneumatic balance lock, llis design, revolution¬ ary as it was. seemed, on the whole, so simple that engineers stared in won¬ derment that no one had thought, of it before. Colonel Haskell had already applied the compressed nir principle to the pneumatic dry dock, now in use in all countries. Mr. Dutton pro¬ posed simply to make the pneumatic dry dock into u wot dock by building up tho side walls and putting m end gates between thorn. Simple as this device appears, it puts navigation 1 y hydraulics upon an entirely new basis, and, in tho judgment of the most, era luent engineers, must revolutionize canal construction all over tho world. It is from the invention of the pneu¬ matic balance lock that, Mr. Dutton has developed his lingo scheme for a maritime canal, which has recently been before Congress atul the Legisla¬ ture at Albany. It will extend from the mouth of the Welland Canal on Lake Erie, utilize a portion of that canal, descend, by a pair of locks sot tandem, into tho Niagara Kiver at, n point about opposite Lewiston, utilize ami enlarge the present Canadian canal system along tho St,. Lawrence Kiver as far as Lake St. Francis, and there fork in two directions, one arm will reach by a new canal to Montreal, and thende by tho St. Lawrence River to the sea, while another will extend from Lake St. Francis to Lake Cham¬ plain, reverse the current of that lake, and reach from tho lower end of Champlain to Waterford, on the Hud¬ son Kiver. It will involve only about ninety miles of artiiloial canals, and afterwards fifteen miles of this will be cut out bv tho construction of a new canal from Lewiston, on the Niagara River, to a point above the Falls on the American aide. Tho project will require the expenditure of a vast sura of money, but Mr. Dutton lias asso¬ ciated with him some of the best known engineers in the country, to¬ gether with a number of heavy capi¬ talists, and it is proposed to construct this gigautio system without a dol¬ lar of subsidy from either the Canadian or United States Govern¬ ment. The Canadian Parliament in chartering the North American Canal Compauy two years ago, gave it the right to use the summit levels of the Canadian canal system along the St. Lawreuco and across the Welland Pen¬ insula, to acquire aud enlarge any present looks, aud to construct, such uew locks aud canals as will be re¬ quired to complete the enterprise. Such National legislation as is needed in this oountry lias been introduced in Congress by Senator Allison, of Iowa. Specifically, Mr. Dutton proposes to build a canal equipped with locks of sufficient size so that an ocean freighter like the Cevic may sail at river speed from New York to Chicago, and that without material interrup¬ tion. He proposes a canal system with loqfcs of 2 ft feet draught, 05 feet wide, and 510 feet clear length, which will lift vessels carrying 12,000 tons of freight. In place of the thirty-five to fifty-five locks required in any other plan yet proposed for a similar oanal, this project involves but five. In a word, instead of an estimated expen¬ diture of at least $ 200 , 000,000 for looks, the latter, under the new con¬ struction, will not require more than $15,000,000. The projector estimates that to carry the first ocean steamship from New York to Chicago will re¬ quire the expenditure of $ 100 , 000 ,* 000 , and to complete the canal to en¬ able vessels like the Cevic to make river speea through the dredged chan¬ nels will require t he outlay of as much again—in all, some $ 200 , 000 , 000 . - Harper's Weekly.

Hanry Oehrko Is a thrifty and prosperous German farmer living four miles south of bullion, in this CAdairl County, Mo. Mr. Gohrke has a valuable farm and ho lias been a resident of the county for years. He is very Well-known hereabouts and well respected wherever he is known. Last week a reporter of the Journal stopped at Mr. Oehrke’s anil while there became much interested In Mrs. Gehrkn’s account of the benefit she had not long since experienced from the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. 8he said she wanted nverylmdy to know what a great medicine those pills are. but os so many people are praising them uow-a-days. she modestly doubted whether her testimony could add anything to jvhat others had al¬ ready said of them. Iler only reason for talking for publication about Pink Pills was that the people of Adair and neighboring counties might be convinced, if any donbteil that oft-pnbllshed testimonials concerning Pink Pills were genuine statements from the the lips of persons who have been benefited by use of them. Speaking of her own in¬ teresting experience, Mrs. Gohrke said: “A little over a year ago I was completely broken down. I had boon taking medicine from a doctor but grew worse and worse un¬ til I could scarcely go about at all. The least exertion or the mere bending of my body would cause me to have smothering spells, and the suffering was terrible. I thought it was caused by iny heart. When everything I else had failoil to relievo me anil had given up all hopes of ever being any¬ thing but a helpless invali 1. I chanced to read some testimonials in the Farm. Field Orel Fireside , also in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, and the suffering of the people who made the statements were so nearly like the suf¬ they fering I had endured that when I read that Dr. Williams’ were so greatly benefited by the use of Pink Pills for Palo People I did not hesitate to go at once and pur ■ehasn two boxes. I took them according to directions nnd before the first box was used I felt n good bit better. Really (he first doso convinced me that it was a great remedy. Before tho two boxes wtre used up I sent my husband after three more boxes, so I would not ho without them. When I had used these three boxes I felt like a different woman and thought I was almost cured. •‘Since that time I have neen taking thorn whenever I began to feel badly. When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink rills for Pale People I weighed only 113 pounds and after I had been using the medicine for about six months I weighed 122 pounds. I have had a good appotite ever since I commenced taking Pink Pills and instead of mincing along, picking such food as 1 could eat even with an effort. 1 eat most anything that comes on the table. I am not tho invalid I was. I do not have to be waited upon now as if 1 was a helpless child, but I work all the time, doing the housework and ironing and working in the garden without that dreadful feeling which comes over a person when they are afraid they are going to have one of those that I used to have. ‘•Work don’t hurt me anymore. I hon¬ estly Williams’ believe that had it not been for Dr. Pink Pills I would now be in my grave. I still have what the doctor calls bilious colic, but the Pink Pills have mnde me much better and the spoils are not so fro quent and are nothing like as painful as be¬ fore I began to use them. I would not he without the rink Tills for that disease alone trader any circumstances to say nothing of the other diseases for whioh they are espe¬ cially recommended. I take pleasure in tell¬ ing my neig hbors the benefits I have received from Dr. Wi Illinois’ Pink Tills for Pale Peo pie, aud know of several who have benefited taken my advice and have been greatly by them.” Dr. Williams’ rink Tills for Pale People are considered an unfailing speciflo for such diseases as locomotor atuxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neu¬ the ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, tho aftereffects of la grippe, palpitation of heart, pale and sallow complexions, that tired feeling resulting from nervous pros¬ tration; all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They arc also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radicial cure in all eases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature.
