Chicago's Latest Freak.

The great city of the lakes is 1oted
for It's novel and %stupendous ente,pris-
es. Its elevators, railway depots, WA
ter-works, and corners are the big
gest" things Of the kind in the Known
world. But Chicago is not happy. 1t
has plenty of flat prairie land, and a
vast unsalted sea to the east, but no
where in aight is there an island. Now
an island is, above all things, the pet
delight Of the average man and woman
of Chicago; and SO as nature has been
niggardly in this respect, a new attic
ial island has been projected at a point
about a mile distant in Lake Michigan
from the Chicago shore. 1t is to be
forty acres in extent, and will have a
Hill for a hotel in the center. which will
be at least so feet above the water line,
and will afford a magnificent view cf
the lake and city. The land is to be
formed of sand and clay, dredged from
the lake. On the shore side is to be a
land-locked harbor Of seven acres to
admit lake craft of any size. The ISL
and is to be guarded by a breakwater
II feet in height. The lake at this
point is Is feet deep. 1t is expected
that this Will be the great pleasure re-
sort of tie western country during the
summer season. 1t will lie another Co
ney Island, but without the CLANS, salt
water, or the surf. The cost of this
Improvement will be over s2,OOO,OOO.
Now that it has an island. Chicago
ought to have a chain of mountains,
not so remote as the Rockies. If near
enough to this enterprising city, the
range would cut off the northwestern
storms that are S chilling, uncomfort-
able, and sometimes destructive. Seri-
ously, this project for an island shows
great enterprise on the part Of the Chi
cago people, and will undoubtedly pay
expenses.-Demorest's Monthly.

A Dakota Genius.

st. Paul correspondence, May II: A
steam plow is being made in Chicago
by a speculative Dakota genius, who
thinks the solution of the future Of bo-
anz farming is in the use Of steam.
which, il it succeeds as a machine, will.
like enough, give the northwest a revi-
val Of interest in the big farms. The
problem with traction engines has al
ways been to make them prope1 their
own weight over soft, piowed ground,
and have strength enough left for any
thing else. This new idea is to have a
light, endless framework Of planks
passing over and under the engines
wheels, SO that the weight will be dis
tributed oyer thirty or forty square
feet Of roadway on the ground all the
time. 1t is a good deal like lifting
ones self by the boot straps, but is
plausible enough to work from.

Navy atLast.

1t looks as though within eight or
nine years we might have a small navy
and some defenses for our ten thousand
miles of exposed %seacoast. A dispatch
boat called the Dolphin has already
been launched, and will be in fighting
trim some time nextspring. 1T is rather
a small affair, 240 feet long, 30 feet in
breadth, With a displacement of 1900
tons. 1t will be able to steam Is knots
an hour, which is but two knots less
than the time that ear be made by the
great English ocean steamers We
now have no navy, all the vessels that
sail under our flag would not. if united,
be able to disable efficient iron
clad OF other nations. An average Eu-
ropean iron-clad vessel could sink our
whole fleet. There is nothing to pre-
vent an English. French. or German
l,ron-clad fleet from entering any of our
harbors and destroying our seaport
cities. Weare withouts ships, batteries,
or guns, or the plant for making them.
The armor of a monitor we are fitting
up had to be purchased in England.
IT foreign nations, however, refrain
from attacking us during the next sew
years, we will bythat time have asmall
fleet and some guns. We shall have
five monitors with double turrets, and
four reasonably large sized and swift
cruisers. We shall also have some
large guns, a torpedo service and dyna-
mite guns. Then there is a patent is
sued for a submarine craft Which NAV
revolutioniZe naval warfare. This YES
sci will have the power to rise and sink
at will by shipping waterand eypelling
it. 1t will travel en- the surface or be-
meath, attach torpedoes to the bottom
of a ship, retire to a safe distance and
transmit the electric spark. 1t is
claimed that a sailing vessel equipped
with n of these would be able todefy
any navy in the world; that is to say,
if the plans of the inventor prove prac-

lit is the habit of. all famous walkers to
take alcoholic drink when they become
tagged out, yet scientific physicions are
unanimously of the opininion that art
llicial stimulation really weakens COM
petitors in athletic contests. Some
OF the English journals arereallv angry

theory OF the rum shops that liquor is
necessary in eases where the bodily
powers are strained, Because Weston
