Society of Electrical Engineers secured Mr.
Isham Randolph of Chicago to give a lecture
on the evo of Charter day. The subject of
the lecture was the Chicago Drainage Canal
of which air. Randolph is the chief engineer.
A large number of lantern slides were "shown
which aided materially in getting a clear idea
of the work,
Tho canal will connect tho waters of Lake
Michigan with those of the Illinois, thus
carrying tho drainage of Ciicago away from
the water supply of tho city. Numerous dif
liculties havo stood in tho way of this great
engineering work. Miles of solid rock have
been blasled out and removed with heavy
machinery. Stretches of mud have been en
countered and what seemed to be solid rock
has given way only to let down the stono
walls built to retain the banks. New and
heavy machinery has been designed li,rilie

schemes some of which have brought, only
