Chute and Fishway. 



The Fish-way is constructed In the bottom of. a 

 chute of any desired width, by meaus of timbers 

 forming triangles, making a zigzag course, breaking 

 the force of the water iii its descent, enabling any 

 kind of fish to ascend it. It may be constructed on a 

 rise or grade of one foot in ten. Its upper end ex- 

 tends into the pool of a dam. The water "flows with 

 a uniform swiftness over a smooth bottom." It does 

 'not form any "pools or eddies.' 1 



This Fish-way can be seen in a dam in the Mohawk 

 River near Schenectady, N. Y., and for its successful 

 working see the Report of the New York Commission
