~ ENERAL WOODS account of
~ the transformation of Santiago
from a deaths hole to a clean,
healthful and charming city, demon
strates the wonderful possibilities of
sanitation The condition of Santiago
a year ago was filthy in the extreme.
In a population of $4,000 not less than
5000 were sick The drinking water
was polluted, what little food there was
on hand was of inferior quality, the
streets We're full of decomposing refuse,
In the words of General Wood: Long
lines of wan, yellow, ghastly-looking in
dividuals dragged themselves YEARLY
up and down the filthy streets. avoid
ing the dead animals and heaps of de-
composing refuse, or sank YEARLY In
some friendly shade, seeking to recover
strength in sleep. Frightful odors
poured out of abandoned houses, speak
ing more strongly than words of the
dead within. The very air seemed laden
with death. All about one passed and
repassed funerals all day and all night.
Men could not bury the dead fast
enough, and they Were burned in great
heaps of eighty or ninety piled high on
gratings of railroad iron and mixed
with grass and sticks. Over all We're
turned thousands of gallons of kerosene
and the whole frightful heap reduced
to ashes"
These fires were the first move in the
direction of cleanliness. The Americans
next compelled the natives to sweep
scrub and rake. 1t was horrible work
and the natives would have rebelled
had they dared. The dead animals We're
removed and buried. Food stations
were established in every ward and ra-
tons issued to all Corners. AS the peo-
pie went out with their food they
passed by a physician, who examined
and prescribed for them. The water
supply was improved in quality and
quantity, order was restored out of
chaos, and now General Wood tells US
| that ''to-day the city of Santiago is
Clean free from odors and as healthy
as any city of its size in the United
States, excepting. perhaps, for the con-
slant presence of malaria" 1t was in
July Of last year that the appalling

barge canal continuously descending
from Buffalo to the Hudson, doing
away with all locks, and suitable for
boats of twelve-feet draft and 1900
tons capacity, such as may be towed
on the lakes, the cost is estimated at
fifty million dollars. and the saving on
a bushel of wheat between Buffalo and
New York would be about 1.55 on the
present rates. A ship canal, having a
depth of twenty to thirty feet suitable
for steamships of from 5000 to 10000
tons capacity, is estimated to cost from
5000, 900, 900 to $500, 100000
The danger of taking up any one of
these plans is the unknown lengths to
which the railroads may go in the re.
duction of freight rates. The commits
sion notes the rapid increase in the
carrying capacity of railroads, and also
points out that freight traffic will stick
to the railroads in preference to water
unless the water route offers mate
rally lower rate. In short, while the
commission does not take such a posi-
ton in so many words, the inference
from it's report is that the improvement
of the Erie canal necessary to make it
anything like a formidable competitor
of the railroads is doubtful and dan
gerous project.
OF all the plans to remodel the canal,
that of creating a ship canal out of it
is perhaps the most practicable, not
withstanding its enormous expense
from s200000,O00 to $500. 100000. Cities
along the great lakes have long been
in favor of such a project There can
never be any question" says the De-
troit Tribune, but a ship canal would
afford highway for an immense traf-
fic, and that between Duluth or other
western ports and New York such a
canal would be able to hold its own
against any railroad competition" But
it's a gigantic undertaking and in view
of their past experiences with canal
scandals. the taxpayers of New York
may well hang back. Federal aid would
be asked in the construction of ship
canal and congress might not be in a
mood to grant it.

didn't. Last week she played in Bos
ton and the Boston critics were careful
not to make the mistake of their New
York contemporaries. The Boston
press, in fact, cold and severely critical
as it is supposed to be, and generally is,
fairly raves over Miss Adams. The
Boston Herald, referring to her youth
speaks of her Juliet as one who
blooms into womanhood under the
kiss of a lover, and who swiftly runs
through the whole gamut of passion in
three days time. Anything more ex-
quisite than that first entrance at the
call of the nurse cannot be imagined.
She was youth the very poetry of
youth, the very witchery Of youth; but
the fires of the South were already in
her veins. There is one instant when
they leap into flame. When Juliet cries
in her depsair for the husband who
has Just left her chamber, and when
she turns in fury upon the mother who
misuses here, there is passion enough
then, and to spare, in the glance that
passes like lightning from the Lady
Cauplet to the window whence Romeo
has departed. We cannot look for ev-
erything in Shakespeare's Juliet. Ac-
tresses of forty, with voices and figures
of sixteen, do not exist. AS long as the
text is understandable, 1 prefer the girl
to the middle-aged woman every time.
Adelaide Nelson was most beautiful to
behold, Mary Anderson a dream of cold
repose; both are unforgettable pictures
in the memory, but with these two ap-
pear flock of Juliets who are chiefly
remembered for what they failed to be.
One wishes to praise Miss Adams for
so many points that render her i'm
PRESERVATION a constant pleasure to the
spectator, but its charming reality of
grlhood remains uppermost. Youth is
so attractive in this mighty Shakes
pearean character"
Apparently a dazzling future awaits
Maude Adams. There are always plenty
of good actresses; but a really great
one is very rare.

Cancels 10000 stamps an Hour.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
When a Chicago inventor has made
few minor improvements in new
canceling and dating machine he has
produced the postal department will be
equipped with a most marvellous me-
chanism which will cancel the stamps
on 10000 letters per hour. The ma
chimes at present in use cannot be fed
fast enough to cancel more than 1000
or 5000 per hour. This new machine
also automatically changes the dating
stamp every minute. In the old stamp
ing machines the date is changed by
hand every hour, and mistakes have
now and then occurred in the placing

of figure which caused serious annoy
ance. This will be impossible with the
new stamper.
Besides the facility with which the
mail is disposed of. the economy of la
Dor is feature greatly in it's favor.
One man only is required to feed it with
letters, and it has four feed pockets,
into which the envelopes can be slipped
in a steady stream The rental Of the
machine costs fraction of the yearly
salary of one postal clerk, and should
it be adopted by the department ana
several machines placed in service they
would undoubtedly displace several
men each. Superintendent Montgom-
cry and other postoffice ofhc1als
watched practical test of the new
canceler a few days ago and several
slight defects were noticed by the In
ventor, who is now attempting to rem
edy them 1t is confidently expected
that he will be able to make the ma
chine work perfectly, and IL ne does 1t
will mark long step forward in the
rapidity of handling the mail
Although only a comparatively short
time has elapsed since the canoeing
machines were first introduced and the
old hand stamps were abandoned, the
change is so complete that the post
office would be badly .demoralized at
least for a time if an accident should
incapacitate the machines and occasion
a return to the hand stamps. The old
stampers have lost their speed, and 1t
is doubtful If there would be found
enough stamps and pads to equip the
office to handle properly the immense
mass of mail which is now dumped
into the machines and Cancelled at
lightning speed.

SUGAR PiCTU Res.
A New Way of Taking Photograph In
the Dark.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
There are many substances which
emit light when placed in darkness.
Chief among them is common brown
sugar Any boy or girl may make Pho
tographs without camera. FarsL you
must store your sugar full or sunisht.
This is easily done. Merely place your
sugar on a board or in basin and lay
it where the sun can shine on it all day
long. Ten hours of exposure will fill 1t
full of sunlight. Next procure a sensi-
tive plate, being careful not to allow
any light to touch it. Carry 1t into
dark room: in fact, the experiment
ought to be performed at night in order
to insure the room being dark. A key.
a coin or some other small, nat object
should be photographed
Place your objects on the sensitive
plate and sprinkle sugar over them I'M
It'll they are buried from sight. Leave
the arrangement until morning, when
photograph of the objects will appear
on the plate.
This is quite wonderful, but you may
make it still more so by doing what
Professor McKissick Of Auburn, Ala,
Polytechnic school did. He placed his
sensitive plate in a plate holder. This
he laid on a table in a dark room. On
the plate holder he had key a dime
and a piece of broken glass On these
he placed block or wood four inches
thick. Then he sprinkled brown sugar
on top of the block. Over all he spread
a black table cloth and left the ar
rangement in darkness over night. In
the morning he found the key, dime
and the bit of broken glass perfectly
photographed on the sensitive plate.
Now, you will observe that the stored
rays of light from the sugar, in order to
photograph the objects on the plate,
were compelled first to pass through
four inches of wood.
1t will, therefore, be seen that the
light of the sugar was x-ray in it's
quality. All of the transmitted light
seems to possess this quality, and at
least the experiment seems very won
derful to the uninitiated. 1t would lead
one to think that there Is no such thing
as absolute darkness. Since many sub
stances emit stored light, it must follow
that what we ordinarily know as dark
ness must be pierced by shafts of in
visible light. Perhaps cats are thus
able to see in the dark.

TAKES 1T FOR SUNSHINE.
Baby Marion Describes Lightning as the
Recoming of tho Orb of Day.


From the Chicago Chronicle.
Marion is only little girl whose life
has not yet spanned three short years.
But she Is something of an investigator
as well as wee philosopher. She has
hankering to know things and is not
assisted in the usual way proceeds in
her own to determine the forces Of ma
ture. She makes a few errors OF
course, but they are never what IS
termed funny" ones. The mysterious
workings of a childish intellect in her
case are frequently of a startling kind.
Not long ago the child was visiting
with her parents and was in her ia
theirs lap at the supper table. 1t was
a night of intermittent storm. 1t would
rain for half an hour and then the moon
would smile from between the clouds.
Not that the visitors or visited saw
this, for they were in brilliantly light
ed dining room, having pleasant
evening in social intercourse. At last a
most vivid flash of lightning illumined
the room, and the host made a swift
duck, for he is not fond of lightning.
Not so Marion. Her baby eyes
frightened and she pointed baby fin
ger toward the window. Her father no.
ticed the movement and said:
What was that, Marion?"
Marion knows, papa
well what was it?"
ut was the sun coming out again.

viction. She was permitted to retain

The Next Great Battle.

~ HE Observation-Disclosures prize
fight draws on apace-it Is
billed for June 9 at Coney ISL
and. Both pugilists are said to be in
superb physical condition, both are
training hard and conscientiously,"
and a notable contest is anticipated.
Meanwhile some of the good people of
New York are taking steps to stop the
mill. For some reason, heavy
weight match always arouses the
wrath and indignation of many excel
lent citizens to whom a mddleweight
or bantam affair is a matter of indif-
ference. These ladies and gentlemen
never concern themselves about the
little fellows, although the little fell
lows fight just as vigorously and vi
ciously as the big ones. Within year
contests of this character have been
held by the score without word Of
protest.
We notice that the New York Mail
and Express is leading the opposition
to the fight. 1t wants "every man and
woman who is opposed to the contem-
plated prize fight to send postal card
TO Mayor Van Wyck protesting against
the exhibition and asking that the u
cense be revoked. The Woman's Chris
tian Temperance union of Kings coun-
ty is already organizing a great re-
monstrance. Its efforts should COM
unand the active cooperation of every
respectable citizen of Greater New
York. A postal card protest from each
person who believes that the prize
fight would be a public disgrace would
open the mayors eyes. He would dis
cover from such an avalanche of re-
monstrances that the people were
watching him, that they expected him
to DO his duty and that if he dared to
betray them he would surely suffer for
It,"
Very few of the other New York
papers seem to be taking any interest
in the matter further than to report
daily, in more or less exhaustive de.
tail the proceedings at the training
headquarters. 1t is noticeable that So
moral and conservative newspaper as
the Brooklyn Eagle is not offering {
word of protest, but is rather express
ing the hope that it will be a good
clean, honest, satisfactory contest.

New Apparatus for Fire. Fl Citing.

From the Atlanta Journal.
The next big fire that breaks out in At
lanta will be hit with stream Of water
the like OF which has never before struck
flames in this city. The new dock. or
turret pipe, which Chief Joyner calls the
Oregon" because of its fighting quail
ties, has arrived and is ready to be used
by the fire department in the next con-
fiagration.
The Oregon" is simply a tremendous
nozzle. made so as to fit on the ordinary
hose pipe. 1t stands upright on a wagon
and the hose pipes are attached from be-
meath the wagon. 1t is arranged so that
one man can operate it, the mechanism
being crank which moves the top of the
nozzle in any direction desired. The noz-
gle itself is stationary.
1t is made to fight big fires which can
not be reached by the ordinary streams
on account of the heat. The wagon runs
up as near as possible to the fire and then
the hose is attached to the Oregon" The
water is turned on and the flames are
good ones that can resist the mighty vol
ume that the apparatus pours into them

The Erie Canal Problem.

~ IME was. and not so very long
ago either, when the Erie canal
was the pride and boast of
American progressiveness. To-day it
has practically outlived it's usefulness,
and it's serious question whether its
proposed enlargement would prove a
paying investment. Some months ago
Governor Roosevelt appointed an ex-
pert commission to investigate the So
called canal scandal and further to ex-
anime into the matter of canal i'm
proVement in general. The report of
the commission is exceedingly interest
ing. 1t is shown that between 1872 and
1882 the canal tonnage diminished fifty
per cent, most of the slump having oc-
CURED since 1893. 1t is directly attrib-
uted 10 improvements in railroads. re-
duction of rates through competition
and lack of improvements on the
canals.
To carry out the plan begun a few
years ago, namely, a canal capable of
floating boats with eight feet draft and
locks capable of handling two 115-foot
boats, would cost $4,000 GOO The saw
ing on freight rates would amount TO
Ill cents on a bushel of wheat from
Buffalo to New York, provided the rail-
roads should make no further reduc-
ton. To enlarge the canal and make il
suitable for boats two hundred feet
long, twenty-five feet wide and ten feet
draft, would nearly treble the carrying
capacity of the canal, and it would cost
about thirty million dollars for excava-
ton and new locks. 70 construct q
