COffeFdam Her,

If The United States government is
really anxious to permit the court Of
inquiry to view in person the hull Of
the Maine, so as to determine on the
strength of their own observation
what causes united to the destruction
of the war-ship, the proposition made
by Niece, Kehmaun & Co., a noted
bridge building and submarine con-
tracing firm of Kansas city, will meet
the approval of the secretary of the
navy.
This firm has submitted an offer to
the government agreeing to build q
cofferdam around the Maine from q
point above the water to bed rock.
The water is then to be pumped out
aud the mud to be removed, leaving
the Mair e resting on the firm earth or
rock on the bottom of Havana harbor.
The members of the court could then
descend into the ccfferdam and view
the wreck for the mselves. They could
thus determine absolutely whether the
explosion that destroyed the ship had
come from within or without, and they
could also decide if it would be prac-
ticsble to raise and restore sthe vessel.
The finn offers to do this work for
5000. 900, and is we'll able to furnish the
necessary bond to guarantee proper
COMPLETE n of the work. The Golfer
dam would be built of puddled rock
and clay by patented process, the clay
to be obtained from Tampa, Fla, if the
Spanish government would not allow
the firm to get its clay in Cuba. Mr..
Peter MCGEE, the senior member of
the firm, declares that he could com
plete the work in twenty days from the
day of making a beginning.

The destruction of the Maine in Ha-
yapa harbor has revived the old dis
cussion as to the relative merits of the
battleship and monitor types. Rear
Admiral Jouett retired, declares that
the big modern battleship is costly
TOW and mistake in naval architecture
as far as the needs of the United
Ststes are concerned. He is further
quoted as expressing the opinion that
a monitor of the Terror or Puritan
type is the equal of any two bait 'e-

band, prominent naval authority,
Captain Maman, defends the battle
ship as type of war-vessel In spite OF
it's confessedly narrow margin OF

InJudicious Use of Disinrectan,,.

It Is foible of human nature to pass
from extreme to extreme. People are
slow to accept new theory; but, having
once adopted it, they are ready to work it
to death. How many years is 1t since
medical officers had to implore the folk in
their districts to use disinfectants and en-
countered the most senseless opposition In
their crusade? Now they are finding a
new difficulty. People have recognized
the value Of disinfectants and deodorizers,
and they employ them by the bucketful
without rhyme or reason, trusting bllndly
to their efficacy, on the principle that one
cannot have too much of good thing.
So we find the Clerkenwell medical Off
ser warning the public against this inju-
dicious use and declaring that at has been
found that disinfectants are used In hap
hazard and indiscriminats manner by the
public. Not only are they absolutely val
ueless In many cases, but, by creating a
false impression Of security, they do an
immense amount Of harm"
In other words, people imagine that
cleanliness may be ignored provided only
that they empty unlimited oarbolio washes
and powders over the unclean places. That
Is dire superstition, born mainly of lazi-
ness and aversion to soap and water. The
latter are just as necessary as they ever
Were.-London Telegraph.

Cost Of the Legion of Honor,

The cross Of the order Of the Legion of
Honor, which is only worn on great occa-
sions, Is supplied by the state for the mod
est sum of 15 francs. The article, how
ever, Is said to be Of inferior quality, the
jeweler who has the monopoly Of its man
ufacture being obliged to have recourse to
Indifferent material in order to make
living profit" In consequence certain
number Of the newly decorated prefer to
purchase their cross from the jewellers of
the Palais Royal, who make speciality of
the trade and whose charges vary from 20
francs to maximum of louis and half.
The economically minded may procure Sec
ond hand crosses, but it is more surpris.
ing to learn that 1t is possible to buy Sec
ond hand strips Of ribbon at many of tho
old clothes shops in the district of the tenn
pie. Considering that brand new ribbon
only involves an expenditure of six sous,

sou apiece. Paris Post.
