MR CANNON VINO has had charge OF
the work here says there were removed
from the channel by the government
dredge this season, 81, 493 cnblc yards of
material. He says this gives a channel Of
OF III, feet. or II feet as he puts it IL
order to marke certain what water there
Is under unfavorable conditions.
. Mr.. Cannon Is a most systematic work
er ana every one may rely upon his
statement regarding the depth OF water
in that part OF the harbor under govern
ment control. He took soundlngs on
Monday but did not complete the work.
He will return after setting the dredges
at work in Sheboygan ard complete the
soundings here. He finds IS feet of
water in some places.
The Il foot channel is just what 1t
says. II is az Is foot channel reduced
10 datum. Datum is 3.0G feet below nigh
water mark Of 1893 The water surface
IS now about one foot lower than datum,
so that the ordinary reference to an IS
foot channel means II feet of water
From the shore line to the mouth of the
harbor we have an IS foot channel, or a
depth Of water from Il to liz feet.
Mr.. Cannon says we have now an ex-
cellent Earbor and he sees 70 reason why
this town should not prosper with tie
advent Of good times.

Half and Half.

Gen. Florence McIver served under
Lee during the late unpleasantness,
and he says that one day when the sol
diers were marching along country
road after dinner which was conspicu-
Gus for its lack of anything fit to eat,
Gen. Lee came across a soldier who was
trying to climb up a big persimmon tree.
Here" said Lee. what are you going
to do there?" Going to get some per-
simmons, general replied the soldier.
why. those persimmons are green,''
said Gen. Lee. ''That's true, general,
but / like green persimmons. You see,
they quicker fellows mouth awfully,'
said the soldier, land the pucker goes
just the same when the. persimmon is
in a feller's stomach. When ones stom-
ach is puckered it's just half the size it
was before it tackled the green persim-
mon. Now, general, when you think
what sort of grub we get now you'll
agree that a mans got to accommodate
his stomach to the quantity he gets.

just Blaze Away.

were out on a rum case. They had
been out long time, and Judge Walton
was rather nervous and wanted YER
dict. To his clear and far-seeing mind,
the most remarkable in many ways that
ever held jurisdiction in New England,
there was no excuse for any prolonged
consideration of the case by any jury.
Leaning back, seemingly lost in
thought, he suddenly sat bolt upright
and beckoned to Col. Littkfield. and
the sheriff walked up in that quiet way
of his. Colonel, said Judge Walton
Mr.. Sheriff, should say-see if that re
spondent won't plead guilty provided
his fine is put at 500 Col. Littlefeld
smiled and went over and talked with
the prisoner 1t took but q few minutes,
and in less time than it could be told
he had retracted his plea, pleaded
guilty and had been fined. Then the
court sent out for the jury. Gentlemen.

A BIG BLAST.
About 500, 900 Tons Raised rs Feet b,
Exploding Nine Tons of Powder.

About 100000 Tons Raised rs Feet by
Exploding Nine Tons of Powder.
Booth Brothers of New London, Conn.
operators of the Long Cove quarries in
Maine, have received the details con-
corning a gigantic blast set off on hill!
over the bed of a quarry to loosen an
underground bed of granite so that it
could be quarried. The blast was a
success, about 100000 tons of stone
having been moved in mass.
Work on the undertaking had been
going on for nearly year. On January
y a shaft four feet wide was begun on
top of the hill and was extended down
sixty-four feet. From this point. east
and west, were run two shafts, and
from the ends of these arms cross tun-
nels, forming on each end the letter T.
The blast was fired by electricity and
was witnessed by several thousand per-
sons. AS the mine was sprung the
ground was felt to tremble and shake,
and the whole hill, beneath which the
explosive was doing it's work, rose bod
lily into the air. Large trees were car
ried up with it, as were great boulders,
which were tossed about like SO many
pebbles. Jets of flame and smoke darted
from the mass, which rose seventy-five
feet, and, posing for an instant, re-
turned heavily to the earth with the
crashing, grinding roar of an avalanche.
Over the spot cloud of dust and smoke
hung for half an hour. AS it lifted
it was seen that grass, shrubbery and
trees were gone. Nine tons of powder
were used in the blast.

GROWTH OF HUMAN HEART.
Curious Observations Recently Made by
q German Physician.

Curious Observations Recently Made by
German Physician.
Dr. Benecke of Marburg has made
known his curious observations ON the
growth of the human heart. 1t appears
from the doctors deductions that the
increase of weight and bulk is greatest
during the first and second years of life,
the size of the organ at the end of the
second year being exactly double what
it was at the time of birth. 1t is also
noted that between the second and sew
enth year it again doubles in weight
and bulk. After the end of the seventh
year a lower rate of growth sets in I'M
til about the fifteenth year, the aug
mentation of volume during the seven
or eight intervening years being only
about two-thirds. AS the period of ma
turity approaches the growth of the heart
again makes rapid progress; but even af-
ter the body has matured the organ con-
tinues at the rate of about 61-1OO of an
inch annually between the twenty first
and fiftieth years. When the full growth
is attained the average human heart is
about inches in length and 4 inches in
diameter. 1t. beats 100000 times per
