Marvel to Try for a Half Mile Record

The advent of Herbert E. Marvel of the
New Jersey A. C. in the one-half mile
championship at Chicago IN June % will
be one of the star attraction of the meet
ing. Marvel is a young athlete whose
experience in athletics is very limited. His
first prominent race. in the Canadian
championships last year, In which he won
the one-half mile in the cracking time of
/ min. 81 sec, shows without a doubt that
he is the fastest one-miler IN the country
today. Manvers performance at Travers
Island on Saturday last shows that he is
one Of the fastest middle distance rum
ners there is in the business. He won
the mile in / min. IS sec. When it is
considered the track has s laps to the
mile. Manvel's performance can be APP
preciated. The ate Walter Dohm was
a member of the New York A. G. for
years ii held the amateur record from
1889 to 1895. Yet in all his races on TIC
Traver'ss Island track he never equalled
Manvel's performance. Charles H. Kill
patrick, holder Of the worlds amateur
Of the New York A. c. from 1891 to 1896.
Fitzpatrick Invariably kept himself in the
pink of condition, yet he never equaled
the performance Of Marvel. His best
time for the Traver's Island track is !
min, 55A sec. mad a couple of weeks
before the London-New York information
al match In 1895. There IS not. the least
doubt but If Marvel is given a track on
the same grounds which Fitzpatrick mad
The record on. but that he will equal Kill
patrick's figures. If the track at Chicago
is at all III decent shape, Marvel may ne
looked for 10 establish a new record which
will be entered in the books for the emul-
alton Of future generations.

lehem Iron company has the contract
for the forgings of this first test gun,
the progress of which has been much
delayed owing to the tardiness in the
delivery of the nickel-steel necessary
for the large forgings. 1t is thought,
however, that the parts will all soon
be assembled, as the forgings have been
regularly arriving at Watervliet for
some weeks past, and 1t is matter Of
but q few months when the gun will
be ready for testing at the proving

The gun will be mounted in turret

to protect New York harbOr. The es-
timated power of this new gun is that
the impact Of a shot from one of them
on an armored ship the size of the

would be equal to the conclusion Of
that ship going at full speed into an
other of 10000 tons going at the same
rate. 1t is also estimated thaa a shot
at such a distance would penetrate
twenty oak vessels chained together.
Guns like this abroad have caused a

COMMERCE OF THE LAKES.
Total Tonnage of the 500 Double
That of the SueZ Canal.

In the March st. Nicholas there is an
article on The Great Lakes" by w. S.
HarWOod. The author says: For many
years the great SueZ Canal was looked
upon as the most wonderful piece of
commercial engineering in the world,
carrying enormous cdTgoeS through it's
gateway from the cast But in this
newer land the commerce of the lakes
has dWarfed the Suez canal. The total
tonnage of the 500 during the year 1897
was 1890 600. The tonnage of the
Suaz canal in 1896 was 100000. This
tonnage of the 500 does not by any
means represent the entire commerce
of the great lakes; ii is only portion
OF it.. Hundreds of thousands of tons
of merchandise and supplies of all
kinds are shipped annually up from
Lake Michigan points through the
Straits of Mackinac eastward, which
do not ass through the 500; and many
thousands CIore go eastward from
points below the 500 ON the other
lakes, to be exchanged for other sup
plies for points also below the 500.
Year by year this immense traffic is
growing. From the great West there
come, to the gateway Of the 500, wheat
and Hour and lumber and iron ore--alI
the natural products from a vast area
of country, drawn To the lake route be-
cause 1t is so much cheaper to move
gooCs by water than by rail. In re-
turn, the East sends the West vast
quantities of manufactured goods, and
immense supplies of hard and soft coal
The West furnishes raw materials; the
East manufactures these materials and
sends back the products OF her fac
tories and mills. There were received
at the ports Of Duluth and Superior
during the year 1S96-that is. during
the lake season-1, 712 tons of coal.
on the margins of these lakes, par
ticularly on the shores of Superior,
there are ore-bearing rocks containing
iron, silver, copper, ana gold. The iron
ore is of remarkable commercial value,
and practically inexhaustible in
amount. Immediately tributary TO
