Lewis, who is connected With the artistic advertising department of the Youth's Companion, and ~ resides at 33 Dwight street, Boston, relates that he had bis attention called to Ripans Tabules by a business acquaintance, who expressed a high opinion of them. Mr. Lewis was a good deal troubled with what he describes as a neryous, billous coniition, that appeared to be brought on from time to time by itigh pressure work or special mental activity or excitement, such 2s would be common at periods of unusual nervous tension. It has become his practice at such times to take a Tabule— just one—at the moment that he observes the difficulty approaching, It makes no difference whey it is. A favorable result fs invariably apparent within twenty minutes, ‘The only noticeable effect is that he feels all right in twenty minutes if be takes the Tabule; while it he does not the nervous, uncomfortable feeling intensifies and leads to a bad afternoon and tired evening, He carries one of the little vials with him all the time now, but doesn’t have occasion to arply to it anything like as often as he did at first.

WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT Report of Major Knight of the Operations * During the Month of July, Brenk in the Conduit and Its Repair— Raising the Great Falls Dam— Testing tie Tunnel. Maj. Knight kas made a report to the chief of engineers of operations on’ the Washington aqueduct and accessories dur- ing the month of July. During the month, prior to the break in the by-conduit of the receiving reserxoir, the level of water in the distributing reservoir varied between six and twenty-two inckes below its level when the reservoir is full. After the break, the supply to this reservoir was cut off before being restored, and the level of the water fell to seven feet nine inches be- low the full stage, but at 7 a.m., July 31, it was five feet and six inches below that stage. At the same time, the water in the receiving reservoir was six inches higher, or five feet six inches below its overflow line. = The Break in the Conduit. About 3 o'clock a.m. July 27, Thomas Harper discovered a break in the by-con- duit of the receiving reservoir and gave an alarm. By 3:45 a.m. Watchman Fergu- scn had taken the necessary measures to prevent loss of water in the distributing reservoir, which would have occurred by its flowing baclé through the break. Infor- mation of the break and warning as to the necessity of economy in the consumption of water was given to all government de- partments, the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, and by the co-op- eration of the public press, to the public through displayed bulletins. At 2 p.m. the next day the flow of water into the dis- tributing reservoir was resumed, the wa- ter haying, by that time, fallen there six feet. Maj. Knight says that both reser- ycirs are now slowly filling, and that be- fcre many days the normal level of water will be ed. Raising the Great Falls Dam. During the month quarrying, cutting and transporting of stene was continued in execution of the project for increasing the water supply of Washington by raising the height of the dam at Great Falls. Major Knight says that about 3,500 blocks of stone will be required for this work. Of this number 444 have been cut and brought down from the Seneca quarry for storage between the canal bank and the Maryland channel near the dam. About 200 more blocks have been quarried. Bids have been received for the construction of a suspen- sion cable way and necessary towers and engines for: use in raising the dam. The operating span will be about 1,300 feet in the clear. The lowest bid for the work was $19,245. The award of the contract has been deferred pending action on a r2- port concerning the necessity for protect- ing the canal tow path and its slopes be- tween locks 20 and 21, for a distance of about two” miles immediately above the dam. A barge will be built for carrying stone ecross the Maryland channel, and preparations are being made for reopening the government quarry on the Virginia shore at the dam to obtain granite to crush for concrete work. Testing the Tunnel. The approved project for testing the Lydecker tunnel conduit contemplates pumping out the tunnel, closing the fcur easterly shafts and filling the tunnel with water. In regard to this work Maj. Knight says: “Pumping was continued with one pump at Champlain avenue aud two at Howard University shafts until July 23 and 24, respectively, having ceased at Rock Creek and Foundry Brench shafts June 5 and 19, respectively. Tite masonry closure of Rock Creek shaft was finished June 30; that of Foundry Branch shaft, July 15, and that of Champlain avenue, July 25. At Rock creek it has a minimum thickness of nine feet, consisting of one two-ring brick arch and one six-ring brick invert with concrete between. July 31 there were nineteen feet six inches of seep- age water resting on the top of this ma- senry. At Foundry branch the masonry has the same thickness and consists cf a two-ring brick arch, then two feet of con- crete, then a six-ring brick invert and four feet of concrete. On this at the close of the month there were fourteen feet of seepage water. At Champlain avenue eleven feet of masonry consists of a two- ring brick arch, surmounted by concrete. The water seeped into the shaft in such quantities as to make satisfactory work on _the six-ring brick invert. extremely difficult. Hence, this invert was not plac- ed. The concrete was covered with twenty- three feet six inches of water at the close of the month. “This water will assist the masonry to sus- tain the upward pressure when the tunnel is under pressure by exerting a downward pressure of from six to ten pounds to the square inch. At Howard University shaft the brick curb has been carried up sixteen courses with Flemish bond, true to the curve of the base of the standpipe, for which it is now ready. Put-lock holes in the brick lining of the shaft were closed. Slowly Filling With Seepage Water. “The tunnel is now slowly filling with seepage water. As soon as the Potomac water can be spared it will be used to gradually reinforce the seepage water. In- quiries have been mad+ as to level of wa- ters in wells in the vicinity of the conduit line. Measurements and computations of amounts of masonry and other work re- quired to complete the tunnel, exclusive of shafts, have been finished. The probable operations for August are to continue plac- ing the tunnel under pressure; to commence the erection of the standpipe at the last shaft; to put plant in order with a view to removing masonry closures of shafts and resuming pumping.” DEATH OF WILL HAIGHT, A Well-Known Washington Man Ex- pires in California. Arnouncement yesterday of the death in Los Angeles, Cal., of Will Haight, for- merly of Washington, came as a shock to his many friends in this city. Mr. Haight was a native of Maryland, but came to Washington when a boy ani entered the service of the Western Union Telegraph Company, where he became a proficient operator. Afterward he was appointed teleg- rapher at the Department of Justice and attracted the favorable notice of Attorney General Brewster, who rapidly promoted him to positions of confidence and trust until he became agent of the department. Although a young man, he has for a time intrusted with the important work of in- vestigating United States prisons. Before the completion of Mr. Brewster's adminis- tration of the department Mr. Haight wes appointed United States commissioner at Atlanta, where he began to buiid up a fine law practice and became the nominee of the republican party for Congress, but was «le- feated. About two years ago his health failed him to such an extent that he re- moved to a milder climate, but was unable to regain his strength, and finally fell a victim to consumption. He leaves a widow and three children. See Boston Echoes.
