"The project comprises tour and one-half miles of river canalization and nine miles of power -canal dug in the dry. The river canalization is in the Welland'river, whose direc- tion will be reversed froyliflL!e present mouth up to the canal fhTfflte where the control works twill be built. The canal extends across high land be- yond the•Nlagara gprge to the power - House, which will b€ built at the foot bf the gorge at the river elevation. Water will be delivered to the power- house by penstocks laid on the slope of the bluff. "The river -channel section is be- ing excavated by dredge and aable- way, to provide sufficient waterway. Canal excavation is largely through rock with a heavy earth overburden. The first one and a quarter miles of the canal just beyond the river is in earth section; the remainder is in rock with the exception of a short earth section opposite the Whirlpool, where an old gorge, probably a for- mer bed of the Niagara river, drops the rock bottom so deep as to make it impossible to found the canal on 1(11,11'u' ll'll�� JUST'TME THING •, FOR POTS AND PANS THEMAKING OF RAPE' atm tnep Prof. JohnA IDvaesd ULU. ae0. 4.

It has been found that the most effectual mode of obtaining the unite ed strength of the fibres composted a ropewis by compressing and twist- ing the fibres in •different directions. If the strands were twisted one way only they would untwist themselves, and part at the slIgh•test strain; how-' ever, advantage is taken 1n the mak- ing of "rope" ofithis tendency to un- twist, by laying s rands tbgether that have been twisted in opposite direc- tions, producing a compact, hard, strong Dope, bound together by fric- tion of its parts, neither breaking the fibres on the one hand, 1yy over twist- ing, nor'leaving them e0 loose as to bo easily dravj♦p out from the masa on the other; dither would be equally fatal in its results, and injurious to the stability of the rope, As a broad general rule it should be borne in mind that the loss of bearing power by twisting is almost one-third, hitt the tighter,twisted,ropes gatn in dur- ability what they logo in power. A twist of four-fifths of the length of Elie component yarns gives one-third metre bearing power than it twisted tdnwo-thirds of the length, which is the ordinary •twist of, ropes in use. • The weakening, spent of knots in a• rope is vet:y coneiderable, varying from 35 ,;to 60 pet cent., according to the gradualtor abrupt bending in, the formation of :the .knot.
