Chicago's Drainage Canal.

The main drainage channel is in
part cut through solid rock and in part
through glacial drift, the total
amount of excavation involved being
26,261 SIS cubic yards of glacial drift
and 12,006, 1884 cubic yards of solid rock
The rock cuttings aTe about 100 feet
wide at the bottom, with nearly verti-
cal walls. The excavations through
the sections, with preponderance of
hard material, provide for "a flow of
100000 cubic feet of water per minute,
or rate of flew sufficient for the re-
quirements of population of 100000
people which is about double the pres
ent population of the district. The
narrower channel that has been cut
through the more easily handled ma
terial provides for flow of 100000
cubic feet per minute, and can easily
be enlarged by simple methods of ex-
cavation as the growth of the popula
tion demands. 1t is claimed that the
canal will be navigable for any craft
drawing less than twenty-five feet OF
water.
While the canal is primarily design
ed to carry off the waste Of great city
The projectors of the enterprise have
net been blind to the commercial pos
sibilIties of a free waterway from
Chicago to the Mississippi. 1t is esti
mated that the expense of the excava-
ticns and retaining walls already pro-
vided for by the sanitary district con-
stitutes nearly two-thirds of the entire
cost of such a ship canal, and it is hop
ed that the general Government, which
has done so much to improve the
Mississippi river, may eventually be
induced to undertake the completion
of the channel construction. Should
this plan be executed, large steamers
will be able to make their way from
the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico,
and the commerce of the whole Missis-
sippi Valley will be greatly stimulated
and enlarged.-Review of Reviews for

seconds. The accumulated surplus ov-
rand above the se5 days amounts, in
the course of a century, to very nearly
PAX days. To indulge in a leap year
every four years would require enough
remnants OF tims stun to make up 20
days for every century, The arrange
ment in practical use allows "a leap
years each for three consecutive cen
turtles, and then gives The fourth cent
ury 25 such days. Thus, though it Is
not likely to concern many of us in an
immediate, practical way, 1t may be re-
marked that the twentieth century will
be one day longer than the nineteenth
since 1t is arranged that the twenty
fifth leap year which is assigned to ev-
cry fourth century Shall be brought in
to the calendar of the year that is dl-
visible by 400 The failure to sacrifice
three quairennlal leap years-that is
to say, three extra days in every fourth
century-has led TO the discrepancy be-
tween what Is known as the Julian, or
old-style calendar, and the Gregcrion.

Dom Paul Thinks the Earth
Flat.

In the January Century Capt. Slo
comb tells of the Sprays arrival at
Cape Town, and of visit to Pretoria,
where he met President Kruger, 10
whom he said he was sailing around
the world. This statement Oom Paud
fatty contradicted.
/ travelled the country over from
Simons Town TO Pretoria, being ac-
corded by the colonial government

The "trip from Cape Town to Klmber-
ley, Johannesburg, and Pretoria was a
pleasant one. AT the last named place
met Mr.. Kruger, the Transvaal presi-
dent His Excellency received me cor
daily enough but my friend, Judge
Beyers, the gentleman who presented
me, by mentioning incidentally that l
was on voyage around the world, un
Willingly gave great offsnse to the ven
cradle statesman, which we both re-
gretted deeply Mr.. Kruger corrected
the Judge rather sharply, reminding
him that the world is fiat. you don't
mean round the world" said the presi-
dent; lit is impossible! You mean in
the world. Impossible, said he, "im-
possfble!" and not another word did
he utter either to the judge or me.
The judge looked at me and looked
at the judge, who should have known
his ground, so to speak, and Mr. Kru-
ger glowered at us both. My friend
the judge seemed embarrassed. was
delighted, for in those days was fond
of fun. and the incident pleased me
more than anything else that could
have happened. 1t was a nugget of
information quarried out of Dom Paul
some of whose sayings are famous.
OF the English, he said, "They took
first my coat and then my trousers"
He also said. Dynamite is the corner
stone of the South African Republic"
Only unthinking people call President
