DREDGING THROUGH SOLIT
ROCK.

A Powerful Vessel Recently Con-
structed for Work mt Alexandria
HarbOr.
FGrmcrly when it was na1dful TO
make a channel through rock it was
customary to shatter the obstacles by
blasting and then dredging out the
broken material, but, according to the
New York Evening Post, recent dredg-
ers are powerful enough to cut the way
through the rock without any prelim,
inary blasting. A little while ago Il new
channel into the harbOr of Alexandria
was cut in this fashion. 1t is 300 feet
wide and runs through solid rock.
Lately it was decided to make a new
channel at Bermuda, and for this spec
ial purpose a new dredger has been
constructed in Scotland. 1t is the larg-
est in the world, having a displacement
Of 2,2O0 tons, and is built entirely of
steel. It's length is POS feet, beam 10
feet, and it's depth II feet 3 inches di-
mensions which will enable it to 60 any
where and face any weather. The
dredging gear, ladder and bucket chain
are the strongest ever made and weigh
about 100 tons. This gear has such an
access OF strength that it will pull up
the engine if any insuperable impedi-
ment is met with in working, and n
breakdown will thus be avoided. The
bucket ladder is fitted with ten power
full buffer springs to cushion any shocks
that may be experienced when the
dredger is working in a sea swell. The
vessel will dredge to a depth of forty
five feet below water level, and will be
able to cut ''her own fiotation''-that is,
cut her way through a bank above
water level

Why Grateful MOrmOns Impose Il

Why Grateful MOrmOns Impose
Fine of $5 for killing the Bird.
Most interesting of the birds that we
saw on our daily way to the pasture,
says writer to the Atlantic, were the
gulls, great, beautiful, snowy creatures
who looked strangely out of place so
far away from the seashOre. Stranger.
tOO than their change of residence was
their change of manners. from the wild
unapprOachable sea birds, soaring and
diving and apparently spending their
lives on wings. From this high place
in our thoughts, from this realm Of
poetry and my story, to come down
almost to the tameneSs of the barnyard
fowl is marvellous transformation and
one is tempted to believe the solemn
announcement of the Salt Lake prophet
that the Lord sent them to his chosen
people. The occasion of this alleged
special favor to the Latter Day Saints
was the advent about twenty years
ago of grasShoppers, before which the
crops of the western states and terri
tories were destroyed as by fire. 1t
was then, in their hour of greatest need
when the food upon which depended Il
whole people was threatened that these
beautiful winged messengers appeared
In large fiOcks they came, from no one
knows where, and settled like so many
sparrOws all over the land, devOuring
almost without ceasing the hosts Of the
foe. The crops were saved, and all
DeSeret rejOiced. Was it any wonder
that a people trained to regard the head
of their church as the direct representa-
tive of the highest should believe these
to be really birds Of God, and should
accordingly cherish them? Well would
it be for themselves if other Christian
people were equally believing, and pro-
tected and cherished other winged mes
Sergers sent just as truly to protect
their crops. The shreWd man who
welded the dcstiuics of his people be-
side the Salt Lake secured the future
usefulness of what they considered the
miraculous visitation by fixing a pen
atty Of 81 upon the head of every gull
in the territory. And now, the birds
haviCg found cOngenial nesting places
Oh solitary islands in the lake. their
descendants are so fearless and SD
tame that they habitually follow the
plow like Il flock of chickens. rising
from almost under the feet of the indit.
ferent horses and settling down at Onca
in the furrow behind, seeking out grub
and larvae and mice and mOleS that tn,
plow has disturbed in its passage. The
Mormon cultivator has sense enough
to appreciate such service and no mar
Or boy dreams of lifting Il finger
against his best friend. EXtr lordinary
indeed was this sight to eyes accus-
toned to seeing every bird that at-
tempts to render such service shot and
shared and swept from the face of the
earth. Our hearts warmed toward the
''SOns of ZiOn," and our respect for
their intelligence increased as we hur-
ried down to the field to see this Int
ter-day wonder.

Noisy ABSORPTION of Poison.

Richmond, Ind, Special to the Chica-
go Inter-Ocean:-Indiana now has an
other maidstone, the property Of A. NJ.
Thompson, of Marion County. 1t was
brought from Glasgow, Scotland, in
1914, by an eccentric Scotch woman
named Chloe Stout, and Mr. Thomp
son purchased it of her heirs at Lin
coin Nebraska. The stone measures
three and a half inches in length and
two and half inches in width, and is
shaped like half pear, while the sur-
face IS filled with minute pores. Be
fore applying to Il wound it is held to
the fire and it's temperature raised to
blood heat. 1t is then moistened with
warm water and applied. 1t is said
that if the ear be placed on the bare
stone while it is at work one can easily
hear it absorbing the poison from the
wound. 1t remains at work generally
an hour, but often two hours, and the
poison is afterward extracted from the
stone by heated milk.

Electricity In the Perfuher's labor


The manufacturers of old and favor.
tie brands of perfumery are just now
greatly exercised by the accounts of
new development in Paris. 1t Is
stated that q perfumer in that city
has recently suddenly acquired re-
markable reputation for the supereX-
cclence of his wares. which exhibit II
phenomenal charm and subtlety. What
for time perpleXed his fellow perfum-
arS, who We're thus distanced in busi-
ness competition, was the fact that
although his sales were much greater
than ever before, his purchases Of
essential oils were much less, both in
regard to quantity and variety. The
secret is now divulgcd. The enterpris-
ing perfumer had read that ozone was
used for the purpose of mitigating the
rrudities of the new wines and spirits
and tempering and softening their fla
vOr, and he thought he would try it's
effects on perfumes. Fitting up his
laboratory with the nerdful electric ap-
Dliances, he set to work, and soon found
that the OdOr Of essential oils could be
surprisingly modified by the action of
ozone, and that by the skillful COM
bination Of spirits and essences and
their treatment with the ozonizer, he
could vary their delicacy or power at
will. If this discovery should prove to
be trustworthy Il vast field is opened to
the perfumcr, who will now need but
to lay III Il stock of alcohol and ber-
gamOt to turn out essences of the wild
nSt range, from the stimulating huid
that is more pungent than the strongest
aromatic vinegar TO the sccnt-laden
drops that intoXicate the senses like

The Nutritive Value of Sugar.

1t has long been known that sugar is
an important factor in producing mus
cular energy. The labOrer on a sugar
estate may be ever so thin in physique
and dull in skin at the beginning of the
crop" but after few weeks they will
be big, lusty and shining. AS might be
expected, sugar forms during the inter
vcning period their principal diet.
They eat the cane perpetually while at
work, and at intervals drink the eX-
pressed juice from the mill; but what
they love best of all, and never fail to
exact as reward for special service
or industry, is the sugar itself, which
they mix with water and call ''bever-
age" and of which they will imbibe a
gallon at time without any difficulty.
On this sort of a diet they will work
through whole crop. DR.. Vaughan
Harley states that persons who had
tasted for tWentyfOur hours and drank
only water were made to raise weight
with the little finger. and it was found
that when some 1900 grains of sugar
had been taken during the fast they
were able to do the work longer with
out fatigu".and also to perform from 81
to I6 per cent more work. When sugar
was added to the meals of the workers
their working ca pacity increased. Thus
5000 grains of sugar with a small guam
tity Of meal increased the work done
from 6 to 80 per cent; 3,7OO grains with
coarse meal from s to 16 per cent The
same quantity added to the full meals
Of the day of eight hours increased the
amount Of work done by % to 36 per
cent. These figures may in some meas
ure afford an explanation of the hither-
TO ineXplicabIe way in which the aver
