Carele5sness on the part of one OF

came near causing a serious acct

The Nicaragua Canal scheme
being a very good thing has many
enemies as well as friends. Even
in this country it finds many de-
tractors and some who believe
honestly that they can find no
reason for it's existence. On the
other side of the Atlantic it is
most often treated in rather a
supercilious way, or as a matter
that has some fair points but not
of sufficient interest to draw forth
much money, although there is no
genuine concealing of the real be-
lief that it would be a most excel
lent thing to have and to hold
against the United States. The
fact is not overlooked there that
the Nicaraguan Canal, under
American control, would give an
enormous advantage to the United
States, although it is insistently
pointed out that by far the largest
part of the traffic would be be-
tween United States ports. Be
this as it may, the canal would be
of great value to the United States,
and it is this country that should
build and control the Nicaragua
Canal without delay.-N. Y. Mari

Patching n Big Boat

The steamer Alva was recently
sunk in the st. Mary's river, having
been struck by a whaleback, whose
nose penetrated her starboard quarter
just aft OF the engine room gangway
and left hole sixteen feet square. If
the hole had been on the flat side of
the vessel it would have been a COM
paratively simple task to cover it
temporarily with timbers and can
vas, but at the turn of the
stern it was more difficult
thing to do. Dynamite was first used
to clear away the wreckage prepara-
tory to applying a patch. Dynamite
was applied to individual rivets both
for knocking off the heads of the rivets
and for driving the 1ivets out of the
holes. Then divers took down tenn
plates and marked the holes, and tim
bers were prepared with holes all
ready to correspond and lag screws in
the rivet holes held the timbers in
place. The timbers were also edge
bolted, and when all was adjusted the
steamer was pumped out and pro-
ceeded in safety with her load of ore
to South Chicago, using only her own
siphOn to take care of the leakage.

A Moth Fol on a Lead Bullet.

WARRINGTON, W. VA, March Last
week Charles Johnson, well-known local
hunter, got out his Winchester rifle, ar
ter il had been standing for two weeks
in a closet with the barrel loaded, ana
found, upon extracting the cartridge 10
clean the gun, that the lead of the bullet
had all been eaten away, and poured out
the barrel in fine dust With the aust
there came the dried body OF common
moth, and the appearance of the lnoth
indicated that Ii had eaten the lead from
the bullet. He showed the moth and the
lead dust to several friends. and all
agreed that everything indicated that the
moth had eaten away the lead. one OF
Mr.. Johnson's friends happened to be ac--
dIainted with Mr.. Frank Johnson, of
BROOKLYN N Y, famous etomologist,
and suggested that the moth and lead
borings be sent to- him for examination
and report. This was done, and to-day
the report was received. Mr. Johnson
says the moth was common carpet
moth. and that the gun, standing against
the wall OF the closet. had captured the
moth as IL fell from some article OF clotn-
ing, and the moth. being unable to cllmD
out of the smooth gun barrel, had attack
ed the sOftest part II could find, ana had
gone to work to bore its way out. lie
saws it is the second case on record, the
first being where a French entomoloSlst
had placed several moths i'm a lead box
and they had eaten their way out. lie
stated that the present case was most re-
markable. as the moth had reduced near
" an ounce OF lead TO powder in less thafl
two weeks, and that without food upon
which TO renew its energies.
