inform me whether the hydraulic ram is ever 
to the raising ies of water, say 300 or 400 
cubic feet per minute, and if so, is it economically applied ? “I 
only know it as a philosopher's toy, but if it can be advan- 
tageously applied to large bodi water, it seems to me 
there are many s t where it might be so employed, and 
I should be glad if you could give replies to the followinz 
‘questions :—1. Can it be applied to variable streams; say, if 
it were adapted to raise 100 feet of wate: minute, could it be
