A waterway Improvment,

Captain Wolven, president of the
Texas improvement company, has
secured contract with a trans-At-
lantic steamship company to put on
a regular line Of steamers between
Texas City and Liverpool, which will
be the first regular steamship line to
ply between Texas port and Liver
pool. This is the first great result
Of the Texas City deep water chan
mel. Since the present plan was
commenced there has been placed in
the jetties 67S,9 99l tons of sandstone
and 334.'73 tons of granite, total of
p tons each. The granite is in
blocks weighing from Is to 20 tons
each, and is used in facing the Jet
ties, while the sandstone is used to
ill the space between the granite
walls. These jetties are SO feet wide
at the bottom and slope to 35 feet in
width at the water line. They are.
when completed. five feet above
maximum tide and a railroad runs
on the top, the entire length of each.
The city council Of Galveston has
held a special session and taken the
preliminary steps towards holding
an international exposition and eel
ebration in 1896, in which the United
States government is expected to
take leading part. While it is not
believed 80 feet depth of water will
be obtained by that time. it is very
certain that vessels drawing "a feet
will then be able to enter the harbor
and participate in the grand celebra-
ton of the success of America s
greatest hydraulic engineering feat.
The celebration, it is believed, will
assume the character of the late great
naval demonstration at Kiel, Ger
many. and may also approach it in
its proportions and grandeur.

a consequence, Notwithstanding its
large edition, it was "out Of print"
on the third day Of publication.
In the New England magazine two
or three years ago there appeared
striking article upon Edward Burgess
and his boats. The work done by
Edward Burgess in the development
of Yacht building was very remarka-
BILE. and his early death was the oc-
casion Of sorrow and almost OF dis
may in all American yachting cir
cles. But even at that time the
Herreshoffs at Bristol had demon
stra' ed their wonderful genius in
this line, and their great successes
since have~surrounded them with an
interest as great as that which was
felt for Mr.. Burgess. At the present
time. when they are bulldog the
Defender for the great races OF the
year, the thoughts of all sporting
men are turned to Bristol. 1t was n
happy thought which led to the pub
lication in the July number of the
New England Magazine of the illus
trated article on The Herrshoffs
and Their Boats" by Henry r. Palm
er, of the Providence journal. The
article is a vivacious. sympathetic
aud thorough one, and the illustra-
tions are numerous and excellent.
The article is sure to be found dur
ing the next few weeks in the hands
of all those who go down to the sea
in yachts. The important announce
ment is made that the August num-
ber of the New England Magazine
will contain an article by Percival
Lowell on "Mars," illustrated with
the Flagstaff (Arizona) photographs.
which have never before appeared.
The issue of the Engineering Mag
azine for July is special railroad
number, designed to mark the i'm
provemcnt in railroad conditions aud
to treat the varied and important
problems in railroad management
which have arisen in recent years as
the result OF hostile legislation. labor
disturbances, and the financial panic
of 1898. 1t contains IL leading arti-

Commencing with the August
numb ber. Home and Country, New
York, enters upon the 11th year of
it's publication. Its management
marks this period in it's existence by
announcing a reduction in price to
10 cents copy. and 81 a year by
subscription. The wonder is. how
can they do it? AS popular month

doubt meet popular approval and an

Robert Louis Stevenson's last
story, ..St. Ives" was left at his
death practically completed, so it is
stated by those who have seen the
manuscript. Many chapters had even
received the authors final revision.
Stevenson had been at work upon the
novel for more than year, and the
first half of it had been entirely re-
written several times. The novel is
said to deal with the adventures of
Frenchman captured in the Peninsu-
lar war and shut up in Edinburgh
Castle. A love affair between him
and Scottish maiden; a duel on the
maiden's account between him and a
fellow-prisoner, and his escape from
the prison. are few of the episodes
that promise romance of as absorb
ing interest as any Stevenson pro-
duced. ..St. Ives" will be published
serially in lMcClure's magazine. the
