SENATOR PLUMB DEAD.
THE NOTED kANSAN A VICTIM OF
APOPlExY.

He Had Been Ailing for Some Time'
But No Serious Consequences Were
Observation-Disclosures Services In the
senats Chamber Iutsrmente at En-
roria, Kan, Thursday.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Pres
ton B. Plumb, of Kansas, died at noon.
He was stricken with apoplexy early In
the morning, and was unconscious after
7 a. N. He has been ailing for some
time, though not considered In any
immediate danger.
Preston B, Plumb was born in Della
ware county, Ohio, Oct. II, 1886, so he was
in his 55th year at the time of his death.
He was not college graduate, but Left
the common schools for the printers case,
and in pursuance of his vocation as jour
. newman printer in 1856, in the bloody days
of the newly organized Territory of Kan
sas, walked into that territory, and with
the vigor and indefatigable energy, which
throughout his life has been his chief char
acteristic, the young man plunged at once
into the thick of hot political strife, which
was then waging over the slavery ques-
ton. He at once went to the front and
was chosen member of the Leavenworth
constitutional convention of 1859. He was
admitted to the bar in 1861, when the
place of his adoption became state OF the
Union; served in the legislature in 1862;
was chairman of the judiciary committee
and subsequently reporter of the supreme
court.
When the war broke out he entered the
army as second lieutenant in the Eleventh
Kansas infantry, and served successfully
as captain, major and lieutant colonel of
that regiment, and was commissioned
colonel in the same regiment in August,
1862
After the war Mr. Plumb returned to
Kansas, was elected a member and speak
er of the house of representatives for Kan
sas, and in 1876 was chosen United States
senator to succeed James M. Harvey, re-
signed He took his seat in 1877, and has
represented his state as a senator ever
since that tiEe. His term of office would
have expired March 3, 1895.

WANT A DEEP WATERWAY.

A Memorial to Congress Adopted by the
Detroit Convention.
DETROIT, Dec. 1S.-When the deep
waterways convention assembled tie
committee on resolutions reported a
lengthy memorial to the senate and
house of representatives setting forth
the history of lake navigation, and di-
lating upon the Importance of the twen-
ty-foot channel from Buffalo to Duluth
and Chicago. The memorial abounds
in interesting statistics, all of which go
to show the advantage to be derived
from the proposed action and
earnestly appeals to congress for
such legislation as will provide for the
immediate beginning of work at each of
the required localities, as will insure the
completion of 20-foot channel along
the whole line by the time the works
now in progress on the st. Marys river
are completed.

A Grade of Five Degrees.
OK THE Hull, February Q, 1891.
n. IL I'LL. u A. nanr,1rfch.

To The Editor of the Despatch:
A man when he undertakes to correct an
editor is generally guilty Of very rash
action, and very generally he IS made to
feel the tull effect of his indiscretion. The
conditions are very unequal between the
party that owns the machine and the other
begging for the use of it moment in order
to set said owner right. SO at the risk Of
being snubbed offer this screed as an
answer to your Brownsburg inquirer as 70
"a grade of five degrees"
Your reply, while all well enough as to
the uniform practice of engineers in ex-
pressing the amount Of curvature, or the
rate of the curvature Of roads in degrees,
is nevertheless misleading In Its context.
When, in engineer parlsnce, we say one
degree curve" curve is understood that
has $3.50 feet for its radius, and an angle of
degree between two radii of such curve
subtends chord of 100 feet (the length OF
the chain used on the field at the circum-
ference of such curve. A hve-deree curve
has for radius 1,146 feet, and 3 degrees at
centre is required to subtend the chain OF
100 feet-and 80 on.
This is all right. but there are vertical
angles as we'll as horizontal ones. L think
your correspondent was struggling with
ordinary or turnpike roads, not with rail-
roads, and! / think it is very common 70
talk Of the grades of these common roads
as being 80 many degrees. Per cent can,
it is true, be applied TO anything, and when
the parties in discussion do understand
what each other means-it is clear enough
expression then they do not always
thus understand.
The ordinary method of abiding to rail-
road grades IS 10 say "a 30-foot grade"
"a 60-foot grade" &c. meaning the whole
rise in a mile. In the railroad engineers
Office 1t is common in technical way TO
express o grade by the decimal or mixed
number, giving the rise or fall per 100 feet.
Thus IL q grade is alluded to as .947
grade, it is understood to be 80 feet to the
mile, DC. f, but in the engineering OF COM
mon roads think the practice of indi-
eating the grade by quoting the degrees OF
the angle between a horizontal or :" level"
very common one il not the over
ruling one. For fear that l have
gotten rusty in these matters, not
having been actively engaged therein
for many years, l turn TO little work con-
tanning tables of grades, curves, &c, and
herewith transcribe o foot-note, precisely
as il reads on the book--viz.:
An angle OF 1888 OF about In So or l5l
feet per mile is about the greatest slope
that should be given TO turnpike road to
allow horses to trot down rapidly with
safety. In crossing mountains this is often
increased TO 3 or even to 30. 1t should
never exceed 211s except when absolutely
necessary"

and the other showing grade with ascent
