idea is favorably recommended BY

We would state that the time required
to do this, from the time of starting,
would be from six to eight month.
From the valuable information before
us, contained in the reconnaissance
made by Professor Hurwood, your

carefully prepared paper. Referring to
the question of getting an appropria.

most that can possibly be obtained at
present, is an appropriation for the
improvement Of the lower Brazos, anc
the survey giving levels, cross sections

Racing with a wat~r.pou,.

When the British steamer Alnur. Cap
tain Rouse. from Caibarion, dropped
anchor off Gloucester her outward ap-
pearunce foretold the thrilling expert
ences she had had with the elements.
Dec. 10, when OH the southern edge of
the gulf stream, the ship had narrow
escape from total destruction by a wa
terspout. which fortunately passed I'M
der her stern not many yards from the
ship.
The first seen of this monstrous dis
turbance was in the shape Of a heavy
cloud on the horizon direct to windward,
but as it drew near it appeared rs though
it would overtake the ship and send all
on board to the bottom. 1t was des-
perate struggle to get ont of its way.

engines wide open. realizing that it was
race for life. Nearer and nearer the
dangerous water column drew to the
ship; hit by the time the noise of its ap-
proach met The ears Of the crew the shil

Sames Of Children.

The records Of births and christcnings
for the past month, it is said by those
who have occasion to examine them,
show distinct mark Of the Columbian
year. This will become apparent in the
school records of four or five years hence,
when the babies Of today, then Master
Columbus and Miss Columbia, begin to
learn their letters. These waves Of
popular nomenclature sweep over she
land with much regularity in their rise
and fall. The George Washingtons have
mostly gone to join their namesake in
the silent land. He was honored in this
way by generation which is past, and
survives as q patron saint only among
our colored population. The same may
be said of Napoleon Bonaparte and
Andrew Jackson, although we occasion
ally meet one of these.

=sRene Fields Tribute to Phocion H ow ard.
We very deeply regret the death Of
oar old friend. Phocion Howard. For q
good may years we have thought much
more of the old gentleman than we cared
to tell. If from time to time We have
rallied and joked at his expense, it was
because we knew his worth and thought
much of him personally-for, be it un-
derstood. wo never frivol with those
whom we do not like. Phocion under
stood it all. Whenever he came to Chi
cago he climbed the stairs to see us, and
we were always glad to see his ruddy
face and to hear his big, CHEEKY voice
Phocion did not do much fooling him
self, and perhaps that is why he did not
dislike our badinage.
Phocion Howard was one of the old
school-one of the few pioneers left here
for long time in the west. He was ut
terly improvident. utterly irresponsible.
utterly impossible. Once he was more
or less intempcratc. but he stopped that
folly some time ago. Up,o the last he
was generous and self sacrificing to the
degree of fault His sympathies were
easily enlisted and his enthusiasm and
loyalty never faltered. Oftentimes be-
trayetl and imposed upon and wronged,
he never lost confidence in his fellow
men. His head may have failed him i'll
emergencies. but Phocion's heart was ul-
ways ready with generous. gracions. no
BILE impulses.
So wo think of the old man very ten,
derly as we speak Of him today, and the
hard part of it all is that we have tC
hold our pen in check. lest it commit Us
to all utterance of those deeper feelings
in our heart which perhaps would seem
mere sentimentality to you. who may
not have known this kindly old soul.
This world Of ours is very beautiful
and life here is sweet. for in this beauti
full world humanity. with its tender
sympatlies and tender Offices. glorites il
all. Our old friend Phocion loved thi.
world of ours. and he loved his fellow
men, and it is this love, perchance, thai
qualities humanity for what is to com,
in tho hereafter. r.-Euycne Field in Chi

Fur for Is;Ild Heads.

DR.. John Ege. Readings skin grating
specialist, who year ago or more gained
considerable notoriety by successfully
traasplanting skin from the forearm Of
a colored man to the leg Of a white man,
and who subsequently manufactured a
dime museum freak by planting u flow
ing mustache upon the upper lip OF a
handsome young woman, is continuing
his experiments in that direction. The
doctors latest achievement. performed
with every evidence of success, is that
of supplying baldheaded man with u
covering Of hair that q football player
might envy. Tho patient upon whom
this operation was performed is Charles
Mueller. Of Washington, and the subject
from whom ths material was drawn to
cover the bare spot on tho patients head
was . Mr.. Gertiesu.
DR.. E8e removed from the head of
Gertiesu piece OF scalp It inches wide
by q inches long, well covered with
hair, and replantcd it upon the head of
Mueller. The soreness created by the
removal Of q portion Of Gertiesu's scalp
is almost healed. the doctor having so
sklllfullv drawn the lacerated scalp to-
gether rs to almost remove all evidence
of it's removal with the exception Of two
small spaces. which he purposely left
with the view of further experiments.
He will cover those spots with hair COW
cred skin taken from some animal. and
upon the successful attachment of that
transplanted animal skin upon the head
of Gcrtnsu depends the fate Of the fu.
