WORK ON MAINE HARBoRs.
What the Government Has Done the Past
Year.

Washington, July 17.-CoL N. Dam
rell, United States engineer in charge of
rivers and harbors on the coast of Maine
and New Hampshire, has reported to the
war Department. upon the improvements
In his district
AT Lubec channel, Me-, about 10000
| cubic yards of material has been dredged
and the channel widened about ITO feet
| at the entrance to Moosabeo bar. The
| work of removing the lodges obstructing
| the western approach to the dredge canal
| has been continued. With the completion
of the existing contr act a depth of 16
| feet will be secured for width Of 30
| feet.
| At Narragaugus river the proposed II
foot channel has been nearly completed.
| The breakwater from Mt. Desert to Por-
cupine island, Bar Harbor, has been
completed for distance of COS feet out
of projected length Of 1440 feet west OF
| Dry ledge and the work will be contin-
ued until the wharves are fully protect
| cd.
| AT Sullivan Falls harbor, nothing was
accomplished during the year, but q
project for removing Lodges at the falls
| will be commenced soon under ammo
| Nothing has been done for Penobscot
river recently, but it ia proposed tc
| widen the channel at Bangor TO 300 feet,
with depth of II feet and to secure a
| channel 70 feet deep between Bucksport
and Winterport.
In Belfast harbor the dredging was
carried on, completing the channel of the
entrance and the area near the wharf. AT
Camden harbor, only the remainder OF
the middle ground remains to be done.
The breakwater TO protecb Rockland har-
Dor from eastern storms WAS extended 29s
feet, or at point 1876 feet from shore.
| On the kennebeo river, much Of the
| work was destroyed by the freshet of last
March. This damage was in part oom
pensated by its causing general deepen
ing over the shores. Dredging is now be-
Ing prosecuted in several parts Of the
channela and the project will be coDl-
plsted under existing contracts.
The improvement of Harraskeet river
was completed during the year with a
fourteen foot channel to the wharvss at
f'reeport. No work was done at Port
land harbor because of insufficient ap-
preparations to commence the project for
securing thirty feet depth, but during
| the year Back Cove Channel was widened
at an expense of about $1,000. The chan
mel through tbs bar at the mouth of the
Seco river has been ieepened under the
com bired influence of breakWater and
jetty in the past twelve months and all
| that rmains to be done there apparently
is to raise the shore end OF the break
water.

Emperor williams Rose.

A pretty story is told Of the first meet
ing of the German imperial pair. The
German emperor, then young man of
20, was shooting at Prinkemau. One
day he lost his way in the park, and
came upon a rustic, rose-covered sum-
mer house, where pretty girl of his
own age was sleeping in hammock.
He did not disturb her, but went on his
way, thinking of the little German
poem known as the "Brier Rose" Later
in the day he met the girl in the castle
and. saying: Here is my brier rose
again." he introduced himself, and fell
in love off-hand. They were married
on his 22d birthday. Since that time
she has set herself to realize the German
ideal of a devoted hausfrau.-Detroit

Not So BenlChted.

King Menelek, of Abyssinia, whose
troops have recently given the Italians
a trouncing, is much more civilized than
Americans suppose. Several years
ago the king asked Massala, the italian
envoy, to secure him seming machine.
of which he had heard. The machine
arrived in parts, and the envoy had it
carried to the palace with much pomp.
Then an unexpected difficulty was ell
countered. No one could put the parts
together, and after a days work Massala
had to give it up. The king smiled
good-naturedly, and ordered the parts
taken to his room. He worked all
night, and the next morning sent for
the queen and the italian envoy, to
show them the machine in complete
running order.-Golden Days.
