ENGINEERING PROGRESS.
Activity From All Parts OF tie
Rusy World.

Russia is to build bridge across
the Neva, which will cost S14,ooo,-
600. ,,,
The Board of Works, of Mel
bourne, Australia, are contemplate
ing the erection of a large lnstaila-
ton of pumping plant for raising
the sewage of the city and suburbs.
The complete plant will comprise
20 engines, arranged in two engine
houses. and 80 steam boilers. Each
engine, with one boiler, is to be of
sufficient power to raise not less
than 1000 cubic feet of sewage per
minute from the suction pipe wells
through the delivery mains to the
head of the outfall sewer under an
equivalent head of 125 feet.
The Belgian government contem-
plates the building of ship canal
from Bruges to the North Sea, near
the town of Heyst. The conditions
call for a water way 26 feet deep,
tidal locks and ample docks at
each end. The length of the canal
will be 81 miles. The estimated
cost of the work is 81, 100000.
The French government proposes
to improve the entrance to the por'
of Havre, and to construct a ne"
harbor in deep water, with an ares
of over 600 acres, sheltered from
the encroachment of sand. Since
the beginning of the century owe
$3O,OO0,OOO have been spent on th'
development of the port. The es
timated cost of the new work, made
necessary by the increase of com

am convinced that if woman finds
pleasure in killing fish or bird, she is
perfectly entitled TO so amuse herself,

world has no right to point at nor talk

who follow the windings of musical

FACTS ABOUT THE HEART.

Interesting Statistics Showing the Vast
Amount of Work That Organ Does.
The human heart is hollow muscle
of conical form placed between the
two lungs and incloscd in the pericar-
dunn or heart sac, says Leisure Mo-
ments. The ordinary size of the heart
in the adult is about five inches in
length. three and onc-half inches in
breadth at the broadcast part and two
and onc-half inches in thickness
Its weight is from ten to twelve
ounces in men and from eight
to ten ounces in women DR..
Bencclle, of NIarburg, has made
known his observations on the growth
of the human heart, the fact appear
ing that the increase is greatest and
most rapid during the first and second
years of life, its bulk at the end of the
second year being exactly double what
it originally was. Between the second
and seventh years it is again doubled
in size. a slower rate of growth then
sets IN and continues during the period
of maturity of other portions of the
body After the fifteenth year up to
the fiftieth the annual growth of the
heart is about .06l of a cubic inchr the
increase ceasing at about the fiftieth
year The heart, although so small, is
wonderful piece of mechanism, and
Of great power. With each stroke or
beat it projects something like two
and half ounces of blood into the
conduits or channels of the body
throwing it for distance of nine feet.
This it does sixty-ninc or seventy times
a minute. The number of it's pulsa-
tions varies in the sexes and according
to posture. In the male it beats 81
times minute when standing, II when
sitting and Sc when lying. In the fe.
male it is o., 81, so in the similar posi-
tions respectively.

they suggest rather clumsy hlppopOla-
mus than swan.
On one of her voyages. after she had
served as a trading canoe for three
years. she entered the port OF UJlll,
where she was bought by a Mswahlll
slave trader. For three years she piled
back and across the lake, bringing forth
cargOes of wretched men, women and
children to the Ujiji slave market. One
day number of slaves had just been
landed on the coast when Mr.. H0re.
who had recently come to UJiJl as an
agent of the London Missionary society,
saw the little craft and decided that she
was lust about what he needed for eX-
plOratory voyages around the lake.
He succeeded In purchasing her, ana
the little boat was once more launched
upon Tanganyika as the first missionary
vessel on the lake. COnsecrated to the
cause of peace, she became known IN
time to every tribe as the harblnger OF
good will.
Lake Tanganyka, as it appears on
our maps To-Day, is the result OF these
surveys which Mr.. H0re carried out on
the CalabaSh. His survey is the best
that has yet been made of the lake. He
padded and sailed along the shore, every
day seeing grand panorama OF UNI
known lands and new tribes. BY care
full measurement and observation, month
after month, the outlines of the lake
and the names of the bordering coun-
tries were marked on the map OF Africa.

THE LUMBER OUTLOOK.
Prodigious Forest Resources of
the Great Northwest.

Prodigious Forest Resources of
the Great Northwest.
Puget Sound Lumberman.
Some surprising figures have just been
published anent the great lumber in
dustry of the Pacific Northwest. They
illustrate how beautifully that expan-
sive region has been timbered. In
Washington and Oregon there are over
1000 lumber and woodworking firms.
representing a combined capital of
nearly S30,000,000, and employing %, coo
men. The value of the product is in
the neighbOrhood of S25 100000 yearly.
Ten million of dollars are annually
brought into these two states from for
eign and domestic points in exchange
for lumber, latin, shingles and other
wood products. In Washington the
lumber cut for 1892 showed large de-
crease over the preceding year by rea-
son of the fact that the building boom
beginning in 1890 began to SubSide dur
ing the latter part of 1891. The cargo
trade, however, during 1892 and the
coaStwiSe movement considerably i'll
creased, and the Eastern demand for
rail shipments of lumber from Washing
ton increased fully 20 per cent.
According to indications, this year. S
record will eclipse all others of the past
in the commercial progress of the Pa
eific Northwest. The Lumberman esti-
mates that the standing timber in the
state of Washington amounts in round
numbers to 4l3, 600. 100000 feet. In order
to grasp the magnitude of these
figures. let the reader, in his
minds eye, imagine a solid train.
$1,000 feet of lumber to the car,
stretching $4,000 miles, or six time,
around the earth, and then enough cars
left to make train stretching from
Tacoma across the continent to the
middle OF the Atlantic. Or, taking fifty
cars for train. it would take $40. 900
trains to transport the standing timber
of Washington.
Out.of the standing timber in Wash
ington 4l,300,00 cottages could be
erected
