Saved Money to Governments.

Brunswick, Ca, Jan. 5-According to a
report just sent to the Senate, in response
to a request of Senator Bacon of Georgia,
the United States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey Engineers credit Col. c. p Goodyear
with saving the government just $306, 900
on every foot of the ocean bar of Bruins
wick that he deepened by his dynamite
process. The report, compared with the
cost of deepening by methods this gov
eminent employs. shows this result: I'm
der Col Goodyears contract, the officer
making the survey was required to report
to Congress the cost OF such work and it's
value TO the government. Such report was
not filed at last session of Congress, and
was called for under a resolution Of the
Senate introduced by Senator Bacon. Mr.
II. l.. Marlndin, engineer in charge of the
survey on the Brunswick bar made his re-
port in the late summer of 1899 on the basis
of the 100000 certificate which was issued
10 Col. Goodyear. Mr. Marinden reports
the average cost per foot at Brunswick
dncluding the cost of surveys at 1919. COO
per foot and the average cost at other
ports. which he compares with Brunswick,

HOW "BoBsv NIPPED A MUTINY.
OrdeFed an English Soldier shot in
India for In subOrdinatiOn.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
"Gen. Lord Roberts. of Kandahar, Kip
ling's 'Bob's Bahadur,' was the last Eng
lish general to order the execution of a
private soldier for characterization" said
visitor to Washington, who has seen
service under her majesty's flag.
1T was away back in the seventies; but
the incident is sull very clear in the mem
DRY of old soldiers, and has been handed
down with every possible exaggeration for
the dedication OF the recruitie,' who lis
tens to the barrack-room tales told for the
express purpose of striking terror and hor-
ror to his unhardened heart.
Tho story is revivihed now that Gen.
Re erts has gone to the front to take com
mand at a critical moment 1t contributes
something to illustrate the man who is
beloved and feared by rank and file, and,
withstanding his determined and exact
ing discipline is conceded to be England 3
ranking soldier among good soldiers.
The Indian contingent has always been
a ticklish department to handle. Roberts
did more than any one man 10 bring them
to a realization of what discipline really
means. To-day, thanks to him, there is
less grumbling, less uneasiness, and less
chance Of revolt than ever there has been
since first the native wore the uniform,
and even now extravaganza measures are
necessary.
But Roberts, once on time, about the
year 1878 found himself threatened with
a serious situation. The native troops were
uneasy. The English soldiers, too, IN the
case Of several regiments that had been
kept overtime on Indian service, were
kicking loud and strong. The mounting OF
the men of the English regiments was a
bad example TO the natives. 1t disorgan-
lied everything, and the punishments were
made severe upon offenders who gave OPP
portunity. But INSTRUMENTATION was rife.
1t needed but little spark TO kindle the
whole command into a blaze, in which
many lives must have been sacrificed and
the prestige of the commanding officer
lost.
"One day a drunken private was inso-
lent to a corporal of one of the regiments.
The 'non-com.' ordered the man to the
guard house. lance corporal of the
room called out file of men. one of these
refused to act as escort. He had slept in
the next bed to the prisoner for years,
he protested. They were army bed chums.'
He too, was made a prisoner, and the
charge Of insubordination and refusal to
obey orders entered against him. 1t was
a high crime. a general courtmartial was
ordered the man was sentenced to be
shot, and the sentence was approved by
Gen. Roberts.
Before the assembled regiments al Cal
cutta he was taken out and died igno-
miniously with his face to the wall.
ut was terrible and effective lesson.
The spirit of INSTRUMENTATION was dead,
but the department. issued an order. re-
ligiously observed since then, TO the effect
that where others are available, a bed
chum' cannot be ordered to act as es-
cort."

CHICAGO'S DRAINAGE CANAL.
Magnitude of the Work, the Engi-
neering Difficulties and the Cost.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The Chicago drainage canal is designed
primarily to relieve that city of its sew
age and enable il TO obtain a supply of
pure water from Lake Michigan, which is
now contaminated by the overflow from
the city's sewers. 1t is also intended, how
ever, to be the beginning of a ship canal
from Chicago to the Mississippi river, and
10 that end The law under which it was
built required that the rock sections should
be so cut as 90 admit the passage of YES
sells, and this requirement increased the
cost of the work from about $12,000,0O0 or
s14,OOOO00, which would have been suf-
ficient to dispose of the sewage, TO $S3,OOO,-
900. All this has been done by the city of
Chicago but it will ask the government to
continue the work by deepening the Him
DIS river.

High Engineering skill.

The work of cutting the great canal has
heen of such a nature as to require the
exercise of the highest engineering skill.
The total length of the canal from Chi
cago TO the terminus at Lockport, ILL.,,
is twenty-eight miles, the line extending
southwestward from Chicago and follow
ing down the Desplaines Valley, the course
of an old glacier, abundant traces of the
progress of which are found The valley
varies in width from half mile to a mile,
and through it flow the Desplaines river
and the malodorous Illinois and Michigan
canal against both of which the drainage
canal has had 20 be safeguarded at va
rious points. The Desplaines river is
struggling stream of greatly fiuctuating
volume Sometimes its whole discharge
would go through a six inch pipe, but at
the time of the spring floods its volume
is fully 10000 cubic feet a minute, and
then II spreads over the whole valley. Ne
cessarily this insubordinate stream had to
be disciplined, and the task has been eff
fected by the construction of the River
Diversion channel" This work involved
the excavation of thirteen miles of new
river channel in which the Desplaines is
now flowing, the drainage canal occupy
ing part of the old bed of the river and
the building of nineteen miles of levee be-
tween the main drainage channel and the
river diversion channel.

Work on the line has been in progress
since September 1892, summer and win
ter. little delay being experienced in the
latter season, since the frozen earth has
been blasted with dynamite and handled
like the rock. The grade throughout the
earth, or lettered, sections Chicago to Will
low Springs, is one foot in 10000 and for
the rock or numbered, sections, Willow
Springs to Lockport, one foot in 10000.
AS has been noted already, the idea of
the utilization of the new drainage canal
as also a link of a ship canal connecting
Lake Michigan with The Mississippi has
been presented In all the calculation OF
the engineers in charge OF this great I'M
dertaking Says Chief Engineer Randolph
in a recent report:
when completed. the main drainage
channel will be a free waterway navigable
for any craft drawing less than % feet
of water. The cutting being made by this
district constitutes nearly two thirds of
the entire cost of creating a channel from
Chicago to the Mississippi. which would
he navigab BILE for the largest boats that will
be able to ply between St Louis and New
Orleans after the present plans for the
Improvement of the Mississippi will have
been completed"
The confident expectation Is that the
make the necessary improvements In the
Desplaines and Illinois rivers The total
distance from the end of the drainage
canal, at Lockport. 10 the mouth Of the
Illinois river is about 300 miles.

The Drainage Channel.

The main drainage canal has been con-
structed with a view to meeting the re-
ouirements of the Chicago of the future,
with a. population of 5000, 900, when a flow
of 600 900 cubic feet a minute will be neces-
sary; although a flow of 100000 cubic feet
a minute will be ample Cor the needs of
the present population, and will be the vol
ume maintained for some time after the
completion of the canal. From Lockport,
the southern terminus, to Willow Springs,
a distance of fifteen miles, the canal is in
the main cut through solid rock, Niagara
limestone. Norward from Willow Springs
for a few miles the cut is chiefly through
glacial drift" mixture OF earth, gravel
and boulders, and from that point on 10
the Chicago river only earth is encoun-
tered. In the rock sections" the channel
is 100 feet wide at the bottom, with practi-
cally perpendicular sides.
These sections, with their walls of solid
rock built up to the required hight of 26
feet. with massive masonry upon the rock
surface. are of full size to accommodate
the maximum flow of 100000 feet. Five
of the earth sections, from Willow
Springs northward, are also of dimensions
which will not need alteration, as in them
there is preponderance of hard material.
They are 202 feet wide on the bottom and
% feet deep, with the side slopes two to
one. The remaining earth sections are
10 feet wide on the bottom. with some
side slopes They are designed for a
flow of 100000 feet, and may easily be en-
larged by dredging whenever the increase
in size Of the city shall make necessary
an increased volume of drainage.
