TO MAKE 4 POND 4 HARBoE.

| Rock Island to be a Greater Summer Re-
 sort Than Ever When ocean Connection Is Made.
 Hartford, April 14.-The sum of $25'OOC was appropriated by the Rhode Island Legislature in 1894 toward the construc- tion of a canal connecting Great Salt pond, on Block Island, with the At lantic ocean on the west, thereby pro- viding a land-locked harbor for the largest ocean craft approaching the New England coast. The town of New Shoreham, on Block Island, appropriat- ed $25,O0O for the same object. Great Salt pond is in New Shoreham, and cov- CTS an area of 1,20O acres.s Eight hun dred acres of this tract is covered with navigable water, the depth varying from
 fifteen to sixty feet.
 The entrance 10 the channel from the ocean will be protected by two sand-tight breakwaters, the extreme points of which will be 600 feet apart. The channel, or canal, leading to the land-locked waters will be fifteen feet deep and 400 feet in width, The exca- vations will aggregate 333,00O cubic yards. One hundred and fifty thousand cubic yards have been excayated by the Hartford Dredging company, which received the contract for the work last August.
 The work Is carried on under the di- rection of Charles H. Latham of this city. MT. Latham, to get his steam dredges into inland waters, availed himself of an old sluiceway that was cut through from the Atlantic ten years ago. Before the construction of the sluiceway the waters of the lake were fresh, and the ocean tides were let in to destroy the stagnations of the water, which had become a serious embarrass- ment to the islanders. But the idea of a land-locked harbor had not then been entertained by anyone.
 The United States government has built at great cost an artificial harbor on the opposite side of the island. The government breakwater, together with the harbor, has cost not far from $270,- 900.
 The project that is now being carried out by the state of Rhode Island and the town of New Shoreham was originated by State Senator c. E. Champlln of Block Island. The advantages of the enterprise were brought to the atten- tion of congress last fall, and survey of the new harbor was ordered. This will be made for the purposes of ascer- taining if It is desirable that the govern ment should assist in the expenditure. The trip from New London to Block Island will be shortened three-quar- ters of an hour by the new canal. The Sag Harbor and New York and Block Island Steamboat companies are con sidering the advantages of the new line, which is to develop the west shores of Block Island, opening an entirely new field for summer resorts.
 The new harbor will be one of great attractions for yachtsmen. The exca- vations of the canal connecting the lake with the Atlantic will be completed in June The construction of the two breal1waters, which will run out 500 feet into the ocean, Is now in progress under the direction of Stillman Saun- ders of Block Island, and will be finish ed during the summer,

4 NEW sYNAGOGUE.

Fifteen Thousand Dollars Already Pledged
 and Twenty Thousand Dollars Equity in
 the Present Synagogue Property.
 The project of the congregation Mish- kan Israel for building new synagogue to take the place of the present struc- ture on Court street, between Orange and State streets, is by no means aban- doned. Fifteen thousand dollars have already been pledged, and the society has $2O,000 equity in their church prop erty. The congregation is in no hurry, as no suitable site has been decided upon for the new synagogue. When the present synagogue property is sold it is probable that a site will soon be selected and the construction of the new synagogue pushed along vigorous ly It is intended that it shall be a structure of beauty and elegance such as will be an ornament to the city.

known.

Around this lovely valley rise
The purple hills of paradise;
Oh softly on y0a bank of haze
Her rosy face the summer lays!
Becalmed along the summer sky
The argosies of cIoudiand lie,
Whose shores, with many a shining
rift,
Far off their pearl-white peaks upllft-
Through all the long midsummer day
The meadow sides are sweet with hay;
I seek the coolest sheltered seat
Just where the field and forest meet
Where grow the pine trees, tall and
bland.
The ancient oaks, austere and grand
And fringing roots and pebbles fret
The ripples of the rivulet-
I watch the mowers as they go
Through the tall grass, a white-sleeved
row;
With even strokes their scythes they
swing.
IN tune their merry whetstones ring;
Behind the nimbIe youngsters run
And toss the thick swaths in the sun;
The cattle graze-while warm and still
Slope the broad pastures, basks the
hill;
And bright. when summer breezes
break.
The green wheat crinkles like lake
The butterfly and the bumble-bee
Come to the pleasant woods with me;
Quickly before me runs the quail.
The chickens skulk behind the rail.
High up the lone wood-pigeon sits,
And the woodpecker pecks and fits;
Sweet woodland music sinks and
sweHs,
The brooklet rings its tinkling bells.
The swarming insects drone and hum,
The partridge beats it's throbbing
drum.
The squirrel leaps along the boughs
And ehatters in his leafy house;
The orioIe flashes by-and look,
Into the mirror of the brook
Where the vain bluebird turns his
coat,
Two tiny feathers fall and float
AS silently, as tenderIy, e
The dawn of peace descends on me.
Oh, this is peace have no need
OF friends TO talk, of book to read;
A dear companion here abides,
Close to my thrilling heart he hides,
The holy silence IN his voice
lie, and listen, and rejoice

This is the second atteu pit within three
weeks to wreck the same train near the
same spot which is an ideal one for the
commission of such crime. 1t is on a
heavy down grade, and trains usually run
down It AT the rate of sixty five miles an
hour
This train. not stopping at Rome, gen
orally goes down the grade at i great
rate OF speed, and il Is believed here that
today it must have been running close 10
seventyfTe miles an hour in order 10
make up few minutes lost time.
There is not a house within half a
mile of the place. The wreckers broke
into the section tool house and stole
some tools with which they removed the
fish plates which fasten the rails to the
ties and pulled out the spikes.
The train left this city at 3:33 o'clock.
1t consisted of four mail cars and three
sIeepers. There were eleven postal
clerks and fourteen passengers aboard,
besides the members of the crew.
When the crash came the engine was
thrown from the track ito the ditch and
completely submerged in the mud. only
the driving wheels on the left side being
above the earth.
The forward mail car was thrown two
car lengths ahead of the engine and
rolled down the bank so that it lay
Ieugthwise towards the rails.
The second car in which the mail
clerks were working was thrown on the
tender of the engine and badly demoI-
ished The third and fourth cars were
alsO wrecked the ends of both being
broken. The first one of the slee peIs
was thrown eli the rails, completely
rolling over so that the trucks were dis

was simply turned on It's side, while the
rear sleeper did not leave the tracks at
ali.

that the nonapIes can beat twenty

secure a crew of riders who could
sit on the wheel during such dizzy

respiration would be possible at such
speed. But It is we'll known that the

ENGINE INSPECTION.
IL
Those in Charge of q Machine Should
Not Rest with Casual Examinations.

Not Rest with Casual Examinations.
Engine owners and attendants are too
apt to assume that because an engine is
doing its work well. it is in satisfactory
order throughout, and consequently it
would only be tempting Providence to
disturb the working parts. Many &C
cidents would have been prevented by
timely examination but for this unwise
confidence. Is is by no means uncom-
mon for large engine to work for two
OR even three years without any OK
animation of the crankshaft journals,
the reason usually given for such neg
lect being the fear of the bearings heat
Ing after being opened up. In the
course Of couple of years defect may
develop and may actually cause frac-
ture OF the shaft and serious damage
without any warning being given On
the other hand, If examinations are
made more frequently, the defect Will
almost certainly be discovered in its
earlier stage. and stoppage Of the works
can be avoided by having a new shaft
prepared while the defective one is still
at work
When all the working parts of an
engine are opened up periodically, the
risk of trouble from heating or like
causes on resuming work is much less
than when such examinations are only
made at very long intervals. The prin-
GpaI bearings, erankshafC, crankpins.
erossheads, should be examined about
twice year, and the interior OF cyIi1-
ders, pistons, valves and air pumps
should be seen about every three
months The chief problems which
have presented themselves to the IL
surance engineers for solution have
been. first, to ascertain as exactly IS
possible the cause of each breakdown;
and. second. to point out how such &C
cIdents can be avoided in the future.
IN their treatment of these questions
the engineers have rendered their most
valuable services to both makers and
users Of engines, and It is to be regret
ted that the results of their labors in
this direction are not still more widely
known
