Lieutenant Wood Says 1t Can Easily BE
Made Ono of the Finest In the World.
After stay Of six weeks ON Ford's
island-six weeks Of hard work for both
officers and men-Lieutenant Wood and
his party have returned from Pearl har-
Dor with as complete set of surveys as
it is possible to take. The result shows
that Pearl harbor, if taken in hand by
the United States, will make the finest
possible bay in the world and at an ex-
pense which, compared with the final
result, is almost nominal. Lieutenant
Wood was asked yesterday in regard to
the work accomplished and said:
"We have been at the harbor for just
six weeks and two days and have in
that time made 2S borings and over
1,500 soundings. The survey has been
very complete one, and / have data
enough to mako close estimate on the
cost of all the work that will be neces-
sary in making the harbor one of the
finest in the world. Not piece of coral
has been encountered in the borings,
and it would only require compara-
lively small amount of dredging to give
tide A peculiar formation Of one of
the coral banks on each side of the
channel was discovered that will be a
great help in the work of disposing of
the sand as it is dredged out.

more l am impressed with it's military
and commercial advantages. I have
visited all the principal harbors of the
world, with the exception of Sydney
and have never seen any one that can
compare i'll any way with this one.
Twenty miles Of wharves could be built
there cheaper than any other place in
the world, as the deep water is so close
to the shores. Complete maps and charts
OF the work done will be made as soon
as possible and forwarded to Washing

LIGHT OR HEAVY WHEELS.

Central Asia In the Nineteenth Century.

Some details of the late Russian ex-
plorer Prejevalski's last journey through
the difficult wilds of central Asia have
just reached London. Some OF the nov.
el superstitions Of the natives are amaz-
ing For instance, orders We're given by
the native authorities that no one should
sell land to the Russians, for the Chi
nese had assured them that the Russians
would plant willow trees, which would
grow with enormous rapidity and would
claim all the land in shadow.
Another story which was believed
was that the natural history cases con-
tanned the eggs Of Russian soldiers,
which the explorer would hatch out
into whole regiments Of troops. Gen.
eral Prejevalslxi himself was supposed
to bear charmed life. A more useful
myth was that any Russian article if
stolen would begin to cry out, II am
here" till it was rescued.

GRAPE ON TROLLEY CARS.

That's What They Bave In Binghanlton
After One Has Been Killed by Then.
while reading Of the numerous troll
ley accidents IN Brooklyn" said Alder
man Brandt OF Binghamton few days
ago, ''it occurred to me that Brooklyn
lines would do we'll to adopt unique
custom which, as far as know, is Pc
culiar to Binghamton car lines In our
city the trolleys occupy all the principal
streets, but the motormen are very care
full, and it is seldom that there is an ac-
oident Last winter, however, a man
was run down and killed. The exact
details Of the accident have slipped my
memory, but I believe that no blame
was attached to the motorman.
When that particular car appeared on
the following day, it was sight to be
seen. Long streamers Of Grape floated dis
mally out from the sides, black and white
rosettes or1samented the spaces between
the windows and conductor and motor
man wore badges of mourning. Not
only that, but every car on that line
was draped with black, and all the troll
ley cars in the city displayed in one way
or another some sign of mourning. 1t
was really quite imposing.
''If they could only import that idea
in Brooklyn" continued the alderman
thoughtfully, 81 think it would be q
long step toward trolley reform. They
seem to be reforming everything else
but the trolleys there. Draping the cars
Of each line for, say three days after
any unfortunate had met his death on
that particular line, would enable peo-
pie to keep a sort of count, besides be-
ing graceful tribute Of sorrow ON the
part of the trolley company. Moreover,
the enormous expense for Grape to which
the companies would be subjected would
undoubtedly have the effect Of making
the motormen more careful.

things that the bigger cities can learn
