THE CHICAQ0 RIVER~
l's An Open Sewer Navigable for Vessels for its
Fres Sixteen Miles Lealht
ny The smallest and Iuslest river in
the world. Where do you think it is?
ni Theodore Drelser locates it in Chicago
and 'has this to say about it: The first
r. peculiarity of this little stream is that
it is the smaller river doing the larg.
a est business In the world, or in other
words, the busiest river In the world.
In the next place, It has the greatest
depth for the narrowest width of any
known river. In the third place, it has
the largest number of bridges span
* ning it of any river or equal length or
us greater length, barring the; Mississippi
ex -a total of fifty-two bridget. All these
ll are draw or swinging bridges and car
t ry a traffic of their own overhead al
most as important as that w'hich pass
t es below. Next, this river has little or
od no current to speak of, and flows up
ward instead of down. It is the only
known river whose current has been
' turned round and made, as it were, to
I. flow the other way. Lastly, is is a
sort of an orphan river, for whereas all
rivers and harbors are owned and
see cared for by the United States govern
re ment, the Secretary of War. whose
of province it is to care for these things,
as will have nothing to do with it, and
ad Chicago repairs it only sufficient for
n its now needs, but lays no claim to the
ay right of way.
in In this strange predicamentthislittle
4. stream flows wretchedly backward,
to loaded with the largest and most val.
us able collection of vessels that ever
on crowded an inland sea. It is one tu
is multuous highway, far more exciting
an than Broadway and somewhat less
charming than the Hudson. The city
uses it as an emptying place for its
sewers and the Street Cleaning De.
partment as a dumping ground for its
. waste, and yet it is the most valuable
d factor in the life of Chicago, and the
e one more than all else that has made
re the city what it is to-day. No other
river in the wide world possesses or
o* pretends to the appearance of this pe
a. culiar stream. In its h.slest hours it
is a sight for gods and men. A mere
creek, it struggles with the burden of
an ocean. The great deep-draught
Ipropellers tear the water into splatter.
ing fragments. Their huge stacks
often bide ti; entire stream from view
with great clouds of smoke. The in.
going and outoplng vessels quarrel for
the right of way with all the vehe.
mence inherent in gongs and whistles.

Pcsslbilities of Liquefied Air. "
The scientific papers continue Ito
descant upon the wonderful possibili
ties of liquefied air-that marvelous
product, obtainable, as is well known,
by use of powerful compression pumps
which pound the air down to nearly
1,000 times smaller than its normal
state, in this compressed condition the
heat being immense. This compact
power, it is assumed, could be used to
run a large factory, the exhaust being
sufficient, in such case, to freeze 200
pound blocks of ice as fast as they
could be taken away and stored for
use, while the developed heat in pro
cess of compression would generate
vapor of water sufficient to furnish
pure distilled water enough to make
the blocks of ice of pure crystal.
