At the Convention of the Society in June of last year, held in Boston, the eminent hydraulician, James B. Francis, reported the result of an experiment made by him, which showed that the water at the bed of a stream of water gradually rises to the surface. He placed a white substance, having about the same specific gravity as water, at the bottom of the stream, leaving it in such a condition that the moving water would take with it some of the substance; and he observed that the water thus colored rose to the surface at a point some distance below where it was placed. This, so far as I know, was the first definite statement of this mode of action in streams of water.
