Funeral Services of the Late Ex-Sen-
ator Sawyer, at Oshkosh, Wis,
Very Impressive.

Oshkosh, Wis, April 2.-Former SEN
ator Sawyer was buried Sunday after
noon, and the funeral was the most
and impressive ever held in
this city. Special trains on the North
western and one on the St. Paul road
brought 400 people to the city. The
services were marked by the greatest
simplicity, as was the wish of the de-
ceased. Rev. Edward II. Smith, of the
First Congregational church, conduct
ed them, and he made no address what
ever. The funeral procession was the
longest ever seen here, the various civic
societies and the militia turning out.
The pallbearers were all relatives of
the deceased. The funeral was attend
ed by the state officers and most of
the prominent men of the state.

Shells -Four Miles in the Air.

The power of the modern gun is a
thing that cannot be grasped. The
100-ton projectile strikes with a force
equal to 465,OOO 11-stone men jumping

the s1-ton gun fires a shot IL

angle that the shell goes up. to
height 5,4s2 feet higher than Mont
Blanc. Big guns have been longer
in use than most people think. In
the year 147s they had guns called
''bombards," which threw proiectiles
weighing a quarter of ton. They
were wider at the muzzle than in the
bore, and were used for battering
buildings. The English used big guns
at the battle of Crecy, and amazed the
French, who had never seen such
weapons before.-Answers.

BUILDING AsSIOUT DAM.
Eleven Thousand Men Work Night
and Day on the Bed of
the Nile.

Inc WORKS OF ASSlOuC are under tai
ented engineer, Mr.. G. II. Stephens, who
is born ruler. He has had II 900 men
working night and day at his great dam
and the huge wall and the navigation
canal which accompanies it. This may
seem, when compared with Assouan,
comparatively small affair, for it is only
to ''hold up ten or twelve feet of water
to supply abundantly the great Ibra-
himieh canal, which in it's course sup
plies the ancient Bahr Yusuf, and will
thus vastly increase the cultivable land
on the margin of the Libyan desert.
But in many ways the Assiout weir is
even more remarkable than a wall of
granite founded on a rock. It is built
on the bed of the Nile itself. Never
once has rock been touched for the
foundations. Mr.. Willcocks has shown
in his saving of the old Barrage that
permanent floor could be laid down on
the river bed, which, properly con-
structed, would carry any weight of
masonry fit to resist the pressure of
any stream above it. This system is
practically the one used in the Assiout
barrage.
The Assiout dam is half mile long,
and has navigation lock at the west
side. The river has been Golfer damned
in sections, and masonry and concrete
floor (40 feet below level of high Nile)
laid down as foundation, 81 feet wide
by 10 feet thick. On this floor the SUI
perstructure is built. At both up and
down stream sides of this floor cast
iron sheet piles are driven down to a
further depth of 10 feet, the joints of
which are Theoretically sealed by ce-
ment grout, so that no percolations can
60 below the foundations. The barrage
has Ill openings of about 16 feet each,
which will be supplied with ordinary
sluices. The navigation canal lock will
be so feet wide. This last year (1see)
one-fourth of the whole work was done,
and the wages paid during June and
July, for instance), were 6 $500 per
day.
The outlay at the Assouan dam was
even greater, SO that immense sums are
spent among the natives of the coun-
try which the works are intended to
benefitpermanently. All the work done
at both reservoirs was left safely above
the highest water level till next season.
and at Assiout no more Golfer dams will
be needed. There are 1850 men en-
ployed at Assiout (and 5000 at As
souan), when the work had to be
stopped for the rising of the Nile. The
walls at both places are of stone and
cement. The blocks of stone were fire.
quently so warm, owing to the fierce
sunshine, that the mems hands were
blistered in lifting them, and the heat
of the place in June was 100 degrees in
the shade. But all has gone on, with
scarcely an accident. There were a
dozen cases of sunstroke, but only
few deaths. 1t was remarked that
those who drank too much liquid of any
kind were most liable to it.-Ainslee's

and delved for it, to please their kings,
their lords and masters, and to enrich
themselves.
the house committee on public lands
has been thronged with gold seekers
from Alaska. They seek amendments
to the mining laws which will enable
them TO lawfully carry on their search
for gold. They are particularly anxious
to have certain rights granted them
along the coast line, where it is claimed
that unlimited quantities of gold are to
be found in the sands. One of their
number, J. H. Osgood, says:
"For ages and ages the rain; snow, heat
and cold have assailed the mountains
and hills, rending them and washing the
heavy metal downwards. Gold seeks
the lowest levels when it is released
from the grip of the quartz. For prob
ably so miles along the coast of Cape
Nome the sands are enriched with pure
gold. We want the right to stake off
mines, not only along the coast, but
for mile or more out into the ocean"
In reply to question from the chair
man of the committee why they desire
protected rights out into the ocean,.
Mr.. Osgood said: whoever finds
good strong clay or rock bottom to
the ocean along that coast will be able
to scoop up gold by the buckets full.
It is there, as sure as you live. 1t has
sunken down into the sands along the
coast and IL has s11nken down into the
sands far out into the ocean. There
is.no doubt of it In the minds of those
of us who have been there and investi-
gated the conditions. The mountain
assures have been contracted by the
extreme cold, and they have been ex
spanded by the summer heat. The rain,
snow and winds have liberated the
gold, and 1t has been ages and ages
seeping down to its lowest attainable

Strn INCEST of Lakes.

From the San Francisco Examiner
The result Of a survey OF Lake Chelan
In the northern part Of the state Of
Washington has been given out by Cen
