1800 it 
the Dorfet and Somerfet canal, at Mells, on 
the 6th of September, and found completely 
toanfwer. fy this invention, the difficul- 
ties, which have fo long exifted of transfer- 
ing boats on canals, without lofs of water, 
are now fully removed; at a lefs expence than 
any {cheme hitherto fuggefted, and it is very 
probable, that the necefiity of tunnels will, 
be thereby fuperfeded. The experiment was 
made ona fall of 21 feet, and laden boats trans- 
ferred up and down in much lefs time than is 
employed in pafling in common. This in- 
vention is capable of being affixed to a fall of 
40 feet, or a much greater depth.
