A Dream lhat Will Come True.
(Washingtcn Post.)


One of the legislative dreams OIL KEEP
resentative Small, of North Carolina, IS
a sheltered course for ships all the way
from Beaufort to Boston. Mass. Mr
Small is too practical to believe that Con-
gress is going to authorize any such NAM
moth project at this session, bat he seeks
IN appropriation at this session t0r an
inlard waterway between Beaufort ana
Norfolk. Va. He talks it with members
OF The House and he talks it with Sen
atCrs, for his chief hope now lies In the
river and harbor bill, now before the Sen
ate Committee on Commerce. Whenever
business is dull he goes over 10 the north
end CT the capitol and ccnsults about the
r0oable fate of the appropriation.
NJ Small can tell in convincing fash
ion how this long inland waterway is
feasitic, and how the improved channel
bgtweon Beaufort and Norfolk is to be
br, I'm; in the long chain Of channels,
oXtcLdng far up the coast so that mcr-
CAant ahils could sail couple Of thous-
aGi miles without being subjected TO a

First, the model is covered with a

passed around It 80 as to separate the
pasteboard coat into two hemispherical
shells, which are then taken of the
model and united ut the cut edges with
glue. The hollow sphere thus formed
is the skeleton Of the globe that Is
to be.
The next thing Is to cover 1t with a
coating Of white enamel, about one
eighth of an inch In thickness. When
this Is done the ball 10 turned into a
perfect roundness by machine. The
iron rod running through the center Of
the original model, and projecting at
both ends through the surface. has left
holes In the new globe, which serve for
the north and south poles, and through
these metal axis Is run to represent
the axis Of the earth.

pencil lines into mathematical segments
