proved, and the city OF Wilmington
would obtain magnificent water front
on the Delaware river"
The maintenance of depths by the
construction of dikes is next taken by
the report, and the conclusion is reach
ed that such structures are beneficial
in the portion of the river above the
limit of the effective inflow of the tidal
wave. But I'm the lower part of the
river the conditions are much less fa-
yorable. In a general way the report
says:
''rhe deepening of the channel OF the
Delaware river to 80 feet at mean low
water would undoubtedly be a great
benefit to navigation. even were 10
found by experience impossible TO
maintain the full depth i'm all parts Of
the channel at reasonable cost. 1t
would clear the channel of all compact
material and artificial distractions. and
thus enable the tidal currents 90 exert
their action to the best advantage for
the maintenance of the improved
depths. Should extensive shoaling oc-
cur Il would probably be at the bar
within the mouth of the river. where
a deficiency in depth would be the least
obstruction to navigation. The mate
rial constituting the shoals would be so
soft that il would form little or no OBJ
structiOn TO the passage Of steamships,
and would not injure the bottoms Of
vessels
The report closes by declaring that
the results of the work already done
for the improvement of the channel Of
the Delaware river are of the most en-
couraging character. The results at va
rious localities are described, and Of
the improvement between Reedy
Island and the bay the report says:
"Time alone can determine the perma-
nency of this improvement, but IL this
depth is maintained It will be of the
greatest benefit to navigation"

WHY HE WHIPPED HIM.

One evening recently a prominent
citizen of the West Side went out to
dine with a friend, and took his little
boy with him. While at the table the
hostess offered the little fellow large
grange to take home with him He
refused to accept It, much to the NOR
fication of his father. The hostess
did not press the point and the Incl
dent was forgotten by the older folks,
but not by the youngster. AS he and
his father were on their way home the
boy began to cry. His father asked
him what he was crying about. Be
tween sobs he learned that his darling
was heart broken because he had TO
fused to take the orange which was
rendered him.
"Is that all?" asked the father.
"Y-e-s, SIR" sobbed the young
ster.
Then I'll give you something better
to cry about said the father, and he
padded the little man right there and
then. After punishment had been in
fiicted he lectured his son severely and
told him that in future he must accept
a thing when he wanted 1t and decline
il when he did not wantit, and not play
the baby act with his father. 1t is
probable that in future the yOmgster
win take everything offered no mat
ter whether he wants it or not.

David Dangel, the German-AInellceth
contractor and builder Of this city, has
frequent occasion TO use the telephone
in ordering lumber and other building
materials It is said that one day re-
Gently he wanted a short piece OF
board sent up from the lumber yard.
Going to drug store, which was near
the scene of his building operations,
he asked if he might use the phone.
Receiving a reply in the affirmative,
he gave the little handle half turn
and said:
"Dirty-dree hundred und do wants
dirty-do hundred und dree."
The operator up in exchange gave
him the number with a giggle as an
accompaniment.
"Hello!"
"Hellol Vas dot de Neversvet Lllm-
Der Company"
Yes"
"vell, dis ish Dangel. 1 want you to
send me a poard about dis long UP TO
dot place we're you send de load of
lumber dis mornin'."
"How long a board do you want?"
asked the man at the other end OF tho
line
'Apout dis long" replied the con-
several feet from the floor of the drug
store.
How many feet long do you want
it?" asked the lumber man.
Mein Got in Himmel, mani" said
the contractor. Cant you guess py

81 didn't see YOU raise your hand,
answered the mystified lumber man.
You didn't?" exclaimed Mr.. Dan
gel well you must pc plind. I will
leave it to my pfriend, de 'truggist
here, vetter or not 1 didn't raise my
hand"
The druggist suggested to him that
there was no telescope attachment to
his telephone, and then the contractor
tumbled to the mistake he had made
in assuming that the man at the Other
end Of the wire could see as well as
hear.
"Hellol"
Hello! Is that Dangel?"
"Yahi" said the contractor. ''Vot
said to you a minute ago vas, senC
me vite pine poard, pfoot vide unC
fife feet long" Then, turning to the
laughing druggist, he remarked:
How vas dot for gettin' down ou

CERYERA,S REPORT.

Notwithstanding tie Spanish governments
decision OF to publish Admiral Cervera's ac-
count of the destruction of his fleet, the re-
port is coming out piecemeal. In addition to
the contents OF the report Admiral Cervera
says he knew full we'll what would happen if
his squadron left santisgo harbor and had re.
peatedly predicted its destruction, but" he
adds, Il never could have believed its de-.
struction could have been so rapid" The re-
port states that the 14-centmeter ammuni,
ton hoists Of the Almirante Oquendo were
out Of order and could not be- worked from
the beginning of the bate. Finally her cap
tain, his officers consen ting. ordered ner coloIs
struck. Admiral Cervera further SAYS that
when ne and other officers went OF board the
Gloucester they received the greatest atten-
ton, everyone seeking to supply their wants.
A long paragraph is devoted to eulogy of
the chivalry and courtesy of the Americans,
who clothed the naked and stopped their
cheers lest they increase the sorrow of the
conquered. Each strove with the other TO
render as light as possible the hardships of
captivity" The report generally confirms
the true American accounts, IS regards the
order of battle, the manner OF the destruction
of the squadron, etc.
