lake is thirty-three feet above extreme low
water in Puget sound, or 1873 feet above the
highest tides 1t is rs feet above that of Lake
Union.
The most extensive shoals of Lake Washing
ton, where the water has depth OF less than
twenty-five feet, are at the head and at the foot
OF the lake and in Union bay. That at the head
OF the lake, formed by the deposition OF sedi-
ment brought down by the samamish river,
covers an area OF about 800 acres. That at the
loot Of the lake is evidently formed by the depo-
sition eff sediment brought down Cedar river
during floods, when large volume OF the waters
OF the river is enptied into the lake. The area
OF this shoal is about 800 acres.
The shoal in MON bay covers an area OF 6l0
acres, almost the entire area of that bay.
The localities OF the remaining shoals and
their areas are as follows:

Salmon Bay.

Salmon bay is an estuary connecting through
Shilshole bay with Puget sound.
In these bays the tide has a mean range OF
eleven feet and an extreme range of nearly
eighteen feet.
At extreme high tide the level of Salmon bay
is rs feet below the usual level of Lake Union.
This bay has not sufficient depth, even at high
stage of tide, for the passage of vessels OF con-
siderable draft.
1t will be seen hereafter that the recommended
projects provide that the level of the water of
Salmon bay be raised TO and maintained at the
level OF Lake Union, rs rect above extreme high
tide. This will necessarily cause the shores of
Salmon bay TO be permanently submerged.
Part of the submerged land, particularly in the
town OF Ballard, is occupied by buildings and
wharyes.
While the raising of the level of Salmon bay
must, to a very large degree, increase values of
riparian lands by making deep-water harbor,
yet the submergence OF certain lands gives rise
to damage and loss, the particular dimensions
OF which have not been sscertaned by the
board. These constitute 8 liability which is not
embraced in the estimates
The proper disposition OF material excavated
from the canal prism and from the bays and
lakes by dredging, in raising these submerged
lands, will be factor in reducing considerably
the measure of these damages

Canal to Lake samamish.

BY its orders the board was directed to include
in its surveys and estimates a section oil canal
connecting Lake Samhmish with Lake Wash
ington. 1t early became evident, however, that
there was no real demand for this canal or
expectation that it would be given serious con-
siderauon. It's cost has been ascertained by
survey to be much greater than the cost of the
portion connecting Puget sound with Lakes
Union and Washington, and the advantages to
be derived from il are very small.
In the general consideration of the subject,
therefore, the attention OF the board was, for
the reason above stated, more particularly con-
fined to the section connecting Lakes Union
and Washington with Puget sound
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-02-04
Water supply.

Lake Washington furnishes ample water sup
ply for the service of the canal
AS 1t is probable that the lower lock will be
used much more frequently than the upper
lock, and as the latter at each lockage passes less
water than the former, it is necessary TO provide
for the passage from Lake Washington to Lake
Union OF the additional amount of water re-
quired for the lower lock. Proper weirs for this
purpose are provided at the upper or portage
lock If future developments should show the
necessity for more water than can well be taken
from Lake Washington, an addition supply can
be obtained by turning the water of Cedar river
into the lake. This can be done at q compare
lively small expense.

Tho Sultan of Morocco.

1t is generally stated and believed tina!
the sultan of Morocco, like the czar, is
at once the temporal and the spiritual
head of his people, but this is not quite
true. Though one of his many titles is
that of guardian and commander of
the true believers" this authority is
very shadowy-at least as far as the
Kairouin is concerned-and the sultan
had an opportunity of judging some three
years ago of the danger that might re-
suit from his interference in purely
church government For some reason
or other he commanded that the mokad-
dunn, or chief trustee of the university
an Office which has been hereditary in
one family since the death of the Tu-
nisian Fatma-be dismissed.
This was done, but within three days
there arose such an outcry and hubbub
at the sultan's attempt to exercise un-
wonted authority in church matters that
he very wisely bethought him to an
nounce that in a dream the apparitioa
of his sainted father had appeared to
him and requested him to reinstate the
mokaddum. The >mokaddum was rein
stated, and the sultan has never inter
fered again in the affairs Of the univer-
sity.-Fortnight Review.

A Feat in Writing.

John j. Taylor, of Streator, Ills, once
wrote 400 words on the blank side of a
postal card. This was sent to Chicago
paper, which heralded the story to the
world as being the most wonderful piece
of penwork ever executed AS matter
of fact Mr. Taylor's effort has been dis
counted ON several occasions. Beedle,
the penman of Ottery st. Mary, Liver
pool, once wrote the following pieces en-
tire, without the slightest abbreviation,
all upon piece of cardboard 31s by 81
inches in size: Goldsmith's Traveller"
"The Deserted Village" Essay on Edu-
cation" "'Distress of Disabled Soldier %
"The Tale of Aim" Justice" "Gen-
erosity, "Irresolution of Youth" ""Frail-
ty of Man." Friendship" and the see
MUS of Love-"
b, the center of the card there was a
perfect picture of Ottery church, all of
the shades and lines being formed OF
parts of the writing. As kind of tale
piece he added the anthem of "God Save
the Queen" embellished it with seventy
two stars, fifty-one crescents and nine
teen crosses, finishing the whole by draw
ing picture of serpent which inclosed
the whole of the miraculous production.
If you wish TO ascertain exactly how
much Beedles effort exceeded that Of
Mr.. Taylor, count the words in the
Goldsmith pieces catalogued above.-St.

Injuries from Carbolic Acid.

Warnings are given in German
medical journal against the injury to
skin, and even bone, which may result
from the long continued use of weak
say 8, 21s, or even per cent.-carbo-
lized applications, especially upon periph-
eral portions Of the body, such as the
fingers. This effect, it is asserted, is due
in small measure to the action of car
bolic acid upon the vasomotor system.
but in the main to it's destructive effect
upon the red and white blood corpuscles.
This induces, partly in a mechanical
and partly in q chemical way, stasis,
first in the capillaries, and, if the action
of the drug be continued, then in the
larger veins and arteries, with the result
that the nutrition of the part is inter-
fered with, and the removal Of harmful
substances hindered, the maceration of
the epidermis caused by the acid favors
evaporation, so that the gangrene is a
dry one, a mummification, as it were.

The Cruelty Of War.

An incident related in the biography
of Sir Provo Wallis, admiral of the Brit
ish fleet, brings home to the reader the
cruel nature of war. 1t occurred dur
ing the war of 1879. An American cap
tain had taken fine ship to Lisbon,
where she had sold her cargo for the
use Of the British army under Yelling
ton, and received several thousands Of
dollars in return, which were on board.
Meantime war had been declared, and
on her homeward voyage she fell VIC
tim to the British squadron. One of the
principal objects of her captors was to
obtain information. The American cap
tain was sent on board the shannon
which afterward captured the famous
Chesapeake-but was kept in ignorance
of the war and of the fact that he was a
prisoner.
He answered unreservedly all the ques-
tions put TO him, and Captain Broke,
who greatly disliked the deception he
had been obliged to practice, now felt it
difficult to make the prisoner acquainted
with the next step which must be taken.
AT length he forced himself to say:
"Captain, must burn your ship"
The American, overcome by surprise,
faltered, "Burn her?'
"Indeed must"
"Burn her for what? Will not money
save herr She is all my own-and all
the property have in the world. Is it
war, them"
eyes," said Broke.
Both parties were painfully moved,
and the scene did not end without tear
from each, but duty was duty, and the
prize was destroyed. = Youths Com

An Anecdote Of Renan.

Renan while travelling alighted at
Naples. One morning a servant of the
hotel came to him and said that as she
had heard the preacher at the cathedral
make use Of his name many times, she
would. be thankful if he would choose
for her number in the lottery about to
be drawn. 'lf you are saint" said she,
"the number is sure to be good one; if
you are devil, it will be still better"
Renan smiled and chose q number, but
he never knew if the servant was lucky.

NEW YORK, NOV. 2s.-There was aesthetic
life in America previous to the Centennia
exhibition of 1875, but it Was not very VIC
orous or very progressive. There were
architects who could build splendid
houses, painters who could make beautiful
pictures and sculptors who in enduring
marble could make figures that were alive
with artistic life. But there were not q
great many of any of these The men in
the first two classes could have been count

there would certainly have been no diff

things was comparatively smaller, and sc

posed, and | fancy that even now the "et

There is undoubtedly good deal of
advantage in learning foreign tongues
from nurse in childhood, but il is
easily possible to do this at the expense
Of English. If the child is not to know
its mother tongue there is not a great

Balzac on Color.

Balzac, the French author, says that
woman's character finds expression
in her favoritc color. A woman who
prefers orange or green gowns is. he
thinks, quarrclsome. Those who sport
yellow hats or who go clad in black
without cause are not to be trusted.
White should indicate coquetry. Gen
tie and thoughtful women prefer pink.
Pearl-gray is the color of women who
consider themselves unfortunate. Lilac
is tho shade particularly affected by
ovcrripe beauties; therefore, according
to Balzac, lilac hats are mostly worn
by mothers on their daughters mar
riage day and by women more than
forty years old when they go visiting.

BEAUTY IN WOMAN.
Rarely Ever Accompanied by Superior

Rarely Ever Accompanied by SUPERIOR
Attachments.
Of the beautiful women that have
known. but few have attained superb
GRITTY of any kind. In marriage they
have frequently made failures; why, |
do not know. unless the possession of
great loneliness is incompatible with
the possession of an equal amount of
good Judgment. So much is expected
by the woman accustomed to atlmira-
ton that she plays and paltcrs with her
fate till the crooked stick is all that is
left her. This we see exemplified
again and again. While the earnest,
lofty. sweet-smiling woman of the pale
hair and doubtful line of nose has, per-
haps, one true lover, whose worth
she has time to recognize an ac-
knowledgcd beauty will find herself
surrounded by crowd of snowy ego
lists, whose admiration so dazcs and be-
wildcrs her that she is sometimes tempt
ed to bestow herself upon the most i'm
Fortunate one, in order to end the I'M
seemly struggle.
Then the incentive to education and
to the cultivation of ones especial
powers is lacking. Forgetting that the
triumphs which have made holiday of
youth must lessen with the years, many
fair one ncglects that training of the
mind which gives to her who is poor in
all else an endless storehousc of wealth
from which she can hope to produce
treasures for her own dclectation and
that of those about her, long after
the fitful bloom upon her handsome
sisters cheek has faded with the roses
of departed summer-Anna Katherine
