About Hall of It Rons Through Solid Rock Description of Controlling; WnrLi For Kesslallsc Flow ot W ater Total Cost Amounts to 33,' 635.C01 Machinery For Eicsva tfon. Two ends Lave been sought in the planning and execution of tbe sHiiitary caual wbicb was recently opened in Chicago tbe primary one of protecting tbe city's water supply from pollution and tbe equally important one, in tbe opinion of uiauy, of supplying tbe tirst link in a cbaiu of waterways tbat shall finally make it possible for deep draft vessels to pass from tbe eastern sea board of tbe country to tbe gulf of Mexico via Chicago. In its sanitary aspect the canal is designed to furnish a continuous flow of water from the Chicago river, into wbicb all tbe sewers of tbe city will soon empty, luto tbe Desplaines riv er at Lockiort. This flow will be 2V 000 cubic feet per minute for each 100,000 population in tbe sanitary dis trict, which comprises practically all Of the city north of Eighty-seventh street and several suburbs. According to the calculations of tbe special state commissioners, the population is at present 1.S0O.O0O, and the canal will carry without dilHculty 300,000 cubic feet. About half the canal is through solid rock, and here tbe law has required it to be made of sufficient capacity to ac commodate 000,000 cubic feet per min ute. Throughout the earth sections the channel will le enlarged in the fu ture to accord with the growth of pop ulation. The full capacity of 000,000 cubic feet, therefore, will provide drain age for a imputation of 3.000,000, says the Chicago Record. The cross sec tion in eartli has a width of 110 feet on the bottom, the side slopes being two horizontal to one vertical. As the depth of the canal throughout is to be 22 feet, the width at the water line throughout the earth sections will be IDS feet. In tbe rock the sides are made vertical, and the width is 100 feet. Velocity in the canal, according to the law. must be not more than three miles per hour, l'or navigation purposes these general dimensions will provide ample room for the largest vessels afloat on the lakes. Chicago connection of the canal with the river Is by means of the south branch, at Roby street, about seven miles from tbe mouth. In addition to the canal proper, the sanitary trustees have deepened the river to 20 feet throughout, except at the tunnels, and have constructed an expensive "by pas" between Van Buren and Adams streets In order to provide sufficient flow. At I-oekport, the present termi nus of the canal, a "windage basin" for turning about ships has been con structed, on one side of which are the elaliorate controlling works for regu lating the flow of the water. These wortks consist of seven sluice gates of meal, each 30 feet wide and having a vertical play of 20 feet, and a "bear trap" dam, ltK) feet wide and designed to move 17 feet vertically. This dam is essentially two great met al leaves hinged together at the top. making a huge V with the aiex upper most. One leg of the V is free to move, and the admittance or withdrawal of tbe water under the dam raises or low ers the structure. The cost of the con trolling works was ?201.700. In addition to the main canal, which has cost S1S,31S.G0S, the sanitary trus tees have provided a new channel for the Desplaines river 133 miles long ana built about li miles of levees to keep out flood waiers. This auxiliary work has cost $1.000.irC. From the control ling works to Joliet a channel has been built for the water from the canal. costing $70O,12;. The improvement of the Chicago river has used $537,975, and bridges have added $2,011,343 more. With miscellaneous items the construction total foots up $23,093,014. Administration, right of way, capital ization for mainteuance of railroad bridges and general account items bring the grand total cost of the work to $G3.525.C!)1. all of which has been exiended since the beginning of tbe excavation in 1S92. In the excavation of this channel there have been removed 28,300,000 cu bic yards of "glacial drift" (all meterial overlying bedrock) and 12.910,0u0 cubic yards of solid rock, besides the build ing of 380.050 cubic yards of retaining wall throughout the sections where tbe channel Is partly in earth and partly in rock. For carrying on the excavation of these enormous quantities machin ery was desigued of a magnitude and efficiency undreamed of before. . The great cantalever boIting and convey ing machines and cable ways used on the rock section took out on the aver age 21.3R5 cubic yards of rock in June. 15. requiring the use of eight tons of dynamite. Machinery of this efficiency has never been known before in the history of the world. The Corporal's Blerele. Corporal Fred Wells of the United States recruiting station In Springfield, Mass.. will shortly appear in the streets with a novel type of bicycle. Tbe front wheel will be taken off and as a substitute will lie put on a skate like runner, says the SpringSeld t'nion.1 To the rim of the rear wheel will be, attached a strip of stout canvas, in. which will be placed many small and sharp spikes. On this snow machine: Corporal Wells will take trips through' th country, looking for ablebodied, men for Uncle Sam's army. ' TRIP ACROSS THE VELDT. Kafal Worse Than Csba For Barbed Wire . When the fight of Elandslaagte was over, it was late at night, and long be fore 1 could Cud tile road to Ladysmith it had grown pitch dark. I set out with no misgiving, but bf the time my horse bad stumbled against four barbed wire fences, cutting himself badly, 1 began to lose confidence. It was like riding through Cuba. 1 rode, on a walk, ex pecting more 'fences, and straining my eyes out of their sockets, like a mariner in a fog. looking for obstacles, writes a siecial 'corresiondeut of the New York Journal from Natal. Suddenly we went bead first into a deep ditch or donga, as the lioers call it. These dongas are very like the banks of tide river creeks in New England, abrupt and neck high with mud. Tired out with 13 continuous hours' hard riding and from the excitement of the day, I dragged myself and then my horse out of the mud. Soon we struck some ant bill country, which is worse than any prairie dog cities of the west. The ant bears bad under mined the ground completely. From the Egyptian darkness came a voice. I would have rejoiced if it had been a Boer or an Apache Indian, but it prov ed to be the voice of an Englishman. Together we followed the black line of the bills on the right. It was use less to attempt to reach the road. All that we could hope was that we might strike it unawares. Two more strag glers came Into our ranks, and we moved cautiously onward, cuttiug our way through wire fences and making no effort to circumvent obstacles. To see man or horse in front was impos sible, and the ouly means of keeping In touch was by shouting. Painfully picking our path among stones and ant bills, we were brought up suddenly at the edge of a dark chasm. One of our company bad fallen headlong into a spruit, or stream. When we had hauled him out and got his horse on to the bank, we congratu lated ourselves on this timely discov ery. This was Modder spruit and gave a clew to the road. As we were mov ing off along the stream toward the drift or ford a cry of distress pierced the darkness. Hurrying back, we were" in time to pull an army medical officer out of the spruit. At first he thought that he bad fallen Into the bands of the enemy, and for a time seemed doubtful whether he ought to be gratefiul. From the drift the Journey was comparatively easy, though only two of the party the Englishman and myself succeeded in reaching Ladysmith that night. Four were swallowed up In the darkness and wandered about the wilderness of stone and grass until daylight. When the sentry challenged my entry into the town, my horse bad carried me 19 hours. REMARKABLE FOSSIL FIND. Evidences of Prehistoric Civilisa tion Found In Kansas. Evidences of a prehistoric civiliza tion on what is now the broad prairio land of Kansas have just been dug from 3o feet below the surface of tho ground bj' J. W. Dice, an Allen county farmer, says a Fort Scott (Kan.) dis patch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Mr. Dice has also discovered some most remarkable fossils of an cient animals. His first discovery was on the banks of the Neosho river. where that stream joins his farm. near Neosho Falls. It consisted of the skeletons of two immense buffaloes which were found standing erect be tween 20 aud 25 feet below the sur face. Their positions were natural, in dicating that they bad been suddenly caught by some subterranean disturb ance or swallowed by a bed of quick sand. Immediately over them was growiug a walnut tree measuring four feet in diameter. This tree was with out doubt between 300 and 400 years old. Most interesting, however, of the dis overies by Mr. Dice are parts of a hu man image, which seems to have been made out of concrete, though it may have been carved from a peculiar stone not known to this age. These pieces were found alout 30 feet beneath the surface. To ascertain to what age they belonged or what bands probably made them will be an interesting study for scientists. The workmanship seems to have been as artistic ns modern sculpture. The vicinity in which they were found was occupied by the In dians until about 35 years ago and since that time it has been an unfre quented prairie. Slorins n Sawed Oft Lrs, 93,450. The executors of the eccentric mil lionaire, John II. Pearson of Concord, N. II., the contest over whose will was settled recently, have been called upon to pay many iecullar claims from cred itors. One of these was for storing an amputated leg of Mr. Pearson, says the New York Sun. Eleven years ago Ir. I'earson had to have one of his legs amputated. He decided to keep the leg and have it buried with him. He accordingly handed it over to a Con cord druggist with orders to preserve it and produce K for burial at the proper time. This the druggist did. One of the bills presented to the ex ecutors is for "the storage and care of John H. Pearson's amputated leg," the charge being $3,450, or about $1 a day, not Including Sundays. T. Atkins Held l p for the Girls Too. A Natal inspector of schools, under date of Nov. 20. writes from Maritz burg as follows, says The Westminstei Gazette: "Thousands of soldiers pass ed through here this week fit and ea ger for-the fray. The ladies of the city have been meeting them at tbe station with little trifles, such as tobacco, matches, cigarettes, fruit, etc. Tbe poor fellows, soldierlike, tore the badges oft their helmets to give their' benefactors as keepsakes." - - ORDINANCES IN PORTO RICO. Roles of Itiarht I.lvlnc as Laid Down In Municipal Deerces. Genera: George W. Davis, military governor -! Porto Rico, has promulgate ed an order providing for municipal tribunals in Porto Ricau towns and cities to have jurisdiction of offenses arising under municipal ordinances. In some respects Porto Rico has out distanced the United States in Its mu nicipal ordinances, says the New York Sun. Teople are forbidden to appear In public improperly clad. All persons are forbidden to make "loud outcries, cat calls or noises after las GEXERAL O. W. DAVIS. 0 o'clock at night." Another ordinance makes it an offense for the conductor of a street car to start the car before all passengers have entered the car or all . those who wish to get out have alighted. Persons are forbidden to throw stones or to staiu or disfigure In any way any trees or statues. The driver of a loaded cart is forbidden to sit in the cart or stand in it and must conduct the animal by walking along side of it. Any person convicted of any of these offenses can be fined as much as $15 or sentenced to hard labor for 30 days with the labor gang on the streets or highway. Only IMctnreaane In Peace. Nothing in the military line is more gorgeous than a British guardsman la. his shining cuirass and burnished hel met. One likes to picture them going into' battle thus splendid.

I had distressing pains in my head and back, my bones ached all the time and I became extremely nervous and restless. I could not sleep for days and nights together, my brain lccame seriousK affected and I thought I should lose my mind. For two years my condition grew steadily worse and then I commenced taking Dr. Miles' Nervine. In a few rl.ivs I was able to sleep naturally and continued to improve from that time on until my health was completely restored." Miss Sue Godwin, Opclika, Ala.
