a high opinion of them.
Mr. Lewis was a giod deal troubled
with what he describes as a
nervous, bilious conlition, that
appeared to be brought on
from time to time by igh pressure
work or special mental activity or
excitement, such as would be comma.
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 diculty approachhng,
It makes no difference when it is.
A favorable result is invariably
apparent within twenty minutes.
The only noticeable effect Is
that he feels all right in
twenty minutes if he takes the
Tabele; while if he does not

with him an the time now,
but doesn't have occasion to
arply to it anything like as often as
he did at erst. Nowadays there
are frequent periods ot from a
week to ten days or even two weeks
during which he finds that he has
no occasion whatever to make use of
the Tabules, but still carries them
in his pocket, just the same,
so that they may be ready

WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT
Report of Major Knight of the Operations
During the Month of July.
Break in the Conduit and its Repair-.
Raising the Great Falls Dam
Testing QIe TanneL.
Maj. Knight tas 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 'eserxoir, the level of water in
the distributing reservoir varied between
six and twenty-two inches below its level
when the reservoir is full. After the
break, the supply to this reservoir was cut
of' 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 sik 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
son had taken the necessary measures to
prevent loss of water in the distributing
reservoir, which would have occurred by
its flowing back 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 having, by that time, fallen there six
feet. Maj. Knight says that both reser
vcirs are now slowly filling, and that be
fore many days the normal level of water
will be regained.
Raising the Great Falls Dam.
During the nonth quarrying, cutting and
transporting of stone 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 $10,245. The award of the contract
has been deferred pending action on a re
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 across 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 and
two at Howard University shafts until
July 23 and 24, respectively, having ceased
at Rock Creek and Foundry Branch shafts
June 5 and 10, respectively. Tile 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 of 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 She 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 made 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 pla
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 MAIGET.
A Well-Known Washington Man Ex
paire. in California.
Ax-nouncement 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 anti 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 Justide 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
