  The 
  specification 
  and 
  drawing 
  in 
  this 
  case 
  are 
  in 
  parts 
  very 
  obscure, 
  

   and 
  are 
  evidently 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  some 
  inexperienced 
  person. 
  The 
  follow- 
  

   ing 
  is 
  substantially 
  the 
  language 
  of 
  the 
  description, 
  from 
  which 
  the 
  

   reader 
  will 
  have 
  to 
  ascertain 
  as 
  best 
  he 
  can 
  just 
  how 
  the 
  apparatus 
  is 
  

   constructed. 
  The 
  so-called 
  slats 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  at 
  right 
  angles 
  to 
  the 
  axis 
  

   and 
  parallel 
  with 
  one 
  another. 
  Two 
  or 
  three 
  baskets 
  on 
  a 
  shaft 
  are 
  

   driven 
  by 
  the 
  current. 
  The 
  baskets 
  in 
  small 
  wheels 
  are 
  nearly 
  semi- 
  

   circular 
  at 
  the 
  back; 
  but 
  in 
  larger 
  ones 
  this 
  curve 
  is 
  spiral, 
  having 
  a 
  

   smaller 
  and 
  smaller 
  radius 
  as 
  it 
  approaches 
  the 
  center. 
  When 
  two 
  

   baskets 
  are 
  used, 
  buckets 
  are 
  added 
  for 
  turning 
  the 
  wheel 
  when 
  both 
  

   baskets 
  are 
  horizontal; 
  but 
  with 
  three 
  baskets 
  these 
  are 
  not 
  necessary. 
  

  

  "In 
  Fig. 
  4 
  a 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  back 
  of 
  the 
  wheel 
  is 
  shown 
  at 
  an 
  enlarged 
  

   scale, 
  showing 
  the 
  slats 
  O 
  and 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  where 
  they 
  enter 
  

   the 
  crossbars 
  on 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  wheel 
  arms 
  G. 
  These 
  pieces, 
  O, 
  are 
  

   made 
  in 
  this 
  way 
  so 
  that 
  they 
  can 
  be 
  taken 
  out 
  when 
  they 
  are 
  broken 
  

   by 
  sturgeon 
  or 
  floating 
  drift-wood,
