BUILDING A HARBOR.
HOW UNCLE SAM is SPENDING $4,000
600 AT BUFFALO.

A Line of Breakwaters Three and
Three-quarter Miles In Length.
Will BE the Finest ON the Lakes
When Completed.
Uncle Sam is spending SO, 900, 900
for rocks and timber to dump on the
bottom of Lake Erie in front Of Buffalo.
When the work is finished, that city
will have one of the biggest and finest
artificial harbors in the world.
Having no natural harbor Of its own
Buffalo has long been handicapped.
Shipping at the Buffalo wharfs has
been exposed to the storms which sweep
up the lake. AS Buffalo is one of the
most important ports on the great lakes
this lack has been severely felt. Being
the terminus for several lines of rail-
roads and situated at the EASTERN end
of free lake navigation the port Is as
busy q one as some of the largest on the
Atlantic seaboard. Into Buffalo, are
brought every year mountains of grain
and other produce from the west and
its great elevators line the water front
for miles.
To protect this shipping the federal
government is building a line of break
waters 81 miles in length. They form
q sort Of semicircle off the water front
and are pierced at intervals with ship
channels. Inside Of this line Of break
waters, when they are finished, the
navies of the world can ride at anchor.
The work was begun early in the
summer of 1897 and continued until
cold weather. It was resumed last spring
and will soon be interrupted again by
the closing Of the season. It will be I'm
ished in about two years more.
The breakwaters are of two styles OF
construction, the timber crib and rubble
mound. The timber orb style is most
in vogue on the great lakes. 1t has an
advantage in that it is available to tie
up to, but it has disadvantages which
will probably soon relegate it to the
past with many other old fashioned ap-
purtenances of lake 1t is
neither SO stable nor SO enduring as the
rubble mound, it is constantly in need
of repairs owing to decay and injury,
and its cost is altogether disproportion-
ate to its comparative permanenoe.
The timber crib begins at Stony point
and runs lakeward. 1t will be 1880
feet long when finished. Two thousand
eight hundred feet will be completed
by the end of the present season. That
will mean the completion of the first Of
the two sections into which the whole
new addition to the breakwater is di-
vided. z
The crib is constructed of hemlock
and, pine timbers IL inches square, the
former being ntilizedn. below the Yat3n

of opportunity of looking around in bad

Aft of the social hall is the smoking

with them. The dining saloon is big
enough for a small hotel. 1t is 80 feet

The library commands attention. 1t
is on the main deck and Is reached from
the dining room by a handsome arch
way. American black walnut is the fin
ish of the room, and the hangings are
| of venetian red. Cases holding more
| than 600 volumes are seen, and each
has been bound for the yacht and has
! Niagara upon Its covers.
The owners rooms, on the main deck.
are three in number. making a hand
some, commodious and complete suit.
They are finished in natural birch and
draperies in yale blue. The sleeping
| room has a brass bedstead, a roll top
! desk, a bureau and large sized mirror.
On the port side of the main deck is
suit A, Mrs. Gould's apartments. They
have been appropriately set down as "a
dream Of togeliness in ivory and rose. 3"
Four guests Fooms are forward of
these suits on this same deck. They are
about 10 feet square and each has a
private bath. Three o guest cham
| bers are on the lower deck, ali Gpished
In different woods and, like the others,
provided with separate bathrooms.
Numerous other rooms are in the

because it is cheaper than pine and will
last quite as long under the water as
would the more expensive wood.
The breakwater is 36 feet wide and
stands 10 feet out Of the water on the
lake side. Finished, it presents the APP
pearance, on the harbor side, Of three
immense steps. Each step is IL feet
wide. The first is six feet above the wa
ter, the second is four feet above the first
and the third Is two feet above the SEQ
ond. This arrangement is for the con-
venience of vessel men who tie up on the
harbor side. The lake side of the crib
is perpendicular.
The northern section of the breakwa-
ter is 9, roo feet long, 1000 feet of
which, on the northern end, will be
constructed wholly Of gravel and stone
and the remainder of timber crib. Work
is necessarily slow on account Of the
immense amount of material which has
to be carried to the spot and the natural
difficulties attending its adjustment.
Millions of cubic yards of gravel and
stone will be necessary In the construc-
ton of this ~, 900 feet of breakwater.
Nine-tenths of it is out of sight.
One of the most interesting things
about the work is the prodigious dredge
which scoops up the mud from the very
bottom of the lake, 60 or 20 feet below
the surface. This dredge has the great
est capacity of any machine of its kind
ever put to work on the great lakes.
The ordinary dredge, employed in the
usual harbor and river dredging. is use
less at a depth of more than 80 feet.
The dredge employed by the the con-
tractors in this work can be utilized at
o depth of 1870 feet. 1t is so f1exibly
constructed that it will ride out the
heavy seas which sweep that shore and
which would interfere seriously with
the steady operating of an ordinary
dredge, and it has a daily capacity of
5000 cubic yards of soft excavation.
The bucket resembles a giant clam
she'll. 1t weighs 10 tons and sinks into
the soft mud of its own weight. 1t is
open when it descends and as soon as it
is filled closes, and the tension from the
elevating cable prevents an untimely
discharge of its contents. There are Is
cubic yards of mud in each bucketful,
and the dredge is now lifting about
I, 900 cubic yards a day.

A FLOATING MANSION
HOWARD GouLD's NIAGARA A MOST
LUXURIOUS PLEASURE cRAfr.

How h Famous Yacht on Which
the Young Millionaire md His Bride
Are Spending Their Honeymoon IL
Arranged and Furnished.
Probably the most luxurious pleasure
craft now In use is Howard Gould's
yacht Niagara, on which he and his
bride, formerly Miss Katherine Glenn
mons, are spending their honeymoon.
Most people have been accustomed to
connect with yachts the idea of cramped
quarters, shelflike sleeping accommoda-
tions and a general lack Of elbow room.
But HowardlG ould's yacht is not that
sort of a craft. While it is nowhere
near as large as an ocean steamer there
Is q more generous apportionment Of
room to the individual than on the lar
gest liners. The Niagara, with her 272
feet Of length over all, her SO feet Of
beam and her three decks, contains as
much space Of a three story house 80 by
100 feet in size, and that would be q
house big enough for most families.
Fully two-thirds of this space is de-
voted to the use Of the owner and his
guests. the rest being occupied by the
crew and the machinery. AS a xatter
Of fact, the Niagara is really a floating
mansiop, with decks for verandas and
the wide sweepvof changing sea In place
Of lawns.
The yacht Ia American built. The
KEEL was laid In the spring Of 1897 and
tshe hull was launched last January.
The work Of finishing and fitting the
boat has been done according to the
plans of Mr.. and Mrs. Gould, the latter
having pla,sned the interior arrange
ment and selected the woods, draperies,
carpets and furnishings of the numerous
rooms while she was still Miss Glenn
mons. You may imagine how congenial
was the task with the honeymoon in
prospect
On the upper deck is a steel house
10 feet long and covered with mahog-
any. Forward Is the cabin Of Captain
Shackford. master Of the Niagara. He
is a veteran sailor, formerly captain Of
Jay Gould's Atalanta, al ex-oficer of
the United States navy and at one time
commodore of the Pacific mail fleet.
Aft Of the captains cabin is Mr..
Gould's private Office. East Indian ma
hogany prevails in the finish. Tele-
phonio connection with every part of
the ship is to be had by Mr.. Gould
without leaving his desk, and there are
also in the room o typewriter, copying
press, a divan buried in velvet cushions,
reclining chairs and q table.

SHE is A POWER.
Hiss Shaw Is the Hetty Green OF
British Colonial Politics.


One Of the most remarkable and in
teresting examples of the English new
woman is Miss Flora Shaw, who is just
now investigating the corrupt manage
ment of the Klondike by the colonial
government. Being a pioneer type, she
is hard to describe. She is to British
politics what Hetty Green is to the
American financial world. Profession
ally she is the colonial editor of the
London Times, and as such she has a
sort of rowing commission. Today she
is in Dawson City. The next we hear
Of her she may be in Fashoda.
But she plays a far more important
part in colonial affairs than that of a
newspaper correspondent. The most
successful JOURNALISTS are those who
know what not to print. Miss Shaw is
one of these. 1t was currently believed
that she was as deep in the Jameson
raid" affair as Cecil Rhodes himself,
and, it is said, that if her advice had
been taken the plot to seize the Trans
