The construction of locks and dams

is recent process and had a hard
time of 1t getting adopted. 1t is now
conceded by all that the material is
stronger than stone, more durable and
about half as expensive.
Dams built of It are absolutely
water tight and they are also as
smooth as a board. When stone is
cut so that the joints are tight and
the surfaces as smooth as required IN
this kind OF work tt Is very expensive
indeed.
As the concrete goes In it has large
irregular stones imbedded init to give
1t body and form sort of core.
These stones do not have to be dressed
but go in as they come from the
quarry.
On number ten the foundation for
the lock wall on the inside Of the
lock is finished. In the center OF the
the concrete is left place twenty
inches deep and six feet wide.
This is to receive the next course of
concrete ia such shape as to form a
key. This will resist side pressure.
The walls are built In sections com
posed of menoliths twenty eight TO
thirty-tive feet long and from the
foundation to the top Of the wall.
The specifications do not admit of
the walls being built from one end to
the other or they might be carried Gu
with less fear of high water. In
short time they would be above ordi-
nary rises. However Uncle Sam
wants it done in special way and
this will have to be followed as he is
paying the bills.

The game will be called at $50 on

been played, in which they scored

No team has scored against them

soTHERN'S LITTLE JOKE.
A, . Vcntriioquist ITO Rays rs,ck on
IA, Partner.

One of the pcculiarities OF Sotheru's
elaborated jokes was the way In which
he worked MP to them. lie pretended
TO have discovered accidentally that he
possessed the gift of the born ventrilo-
quist, and arranged an experiment on
the occasion OF n supper party given In
his honor at a pleasant house In n Lon
don suburb. There was n foolish kind
OF ianger-on of Sothern's who loved
to boast of his intimacy with the ia
nous comedian. He had often said. IL
wish YOU would let me help you In one
of your practical jokes. Mr.. Sothern.'
Sothern humored his desire. Every one
knows how fond the professional ven
triloquist Is of talking up the chimney
to an imaginary man on the roof. Soth-
ern had arranged for his slavish ON
fcdorate to mount the roof by u ladder
and play the part OF the voice on the
roof, which he did to perfection. and
Sothern's success as n ventriloQuist
was voted nothing short Of marvellous.
Supper being over. the party adjourned
to another room, at which point Soth-
ern said Good night" to hts friend
above when Il was arranged that the
seance should be concluded. Sothern,
had. however, plotted against his man,
who found. when he wished to descend,
that the ladder was gone. BY hook or
by crook the deceived confederate
found his way to the chimney Of the
smoking room, where the supper party
were settling down for a long evening.
Presently a voice was heard calling
down the chimney, 'Sothern! Sothern!
for heavens sake come and help me!
| can't get down and it's raining like
mad" Sothern was taken aback for a
moment. but only to be In ectasies the
who considered the voice only another
example OF Sothern's skill. You said
you could do more. your voice was
tired. and here 1t Is stronger than
ever!' Sothern, accepting the compli-
ments OF his friends, managed In n
short conversation with the voice on
the roof to let his happy confederate
understand that as soon as possible he
would go out and help him down. Al.
ter a time, just when Sothern was
about to slip out and release his friend
his host went to the chimney. and, al
the more emphasize Sothern's success

Movemsnts Of the Eye

A very curious device has been in
vented, by which 1t is possible to de-
termine how many times the eye
moves In reading, and how fast the
movements are made. The object Of
the instrument is to show In what
cases reading is hurtful to the eyes,
and thus to prevent shortsightedness
and fatigue. In a test of the instru-
ment recently made the results were
curious. A mans eye was first made
insensible to pain by an application Of
holococaine, and then a very light
shell, with a hole in the center, was
placed on the eyeball and held to II by
suction. The shell was connected with
light aluminium levers in such a way
that the eye movements were traced
on a moving sheet OF smoked paper.
Electrical devices caused the pointer
to record not only the movements, but
the speed of each and the exact time 1t
took. The tracings showed that the
eye does not move over a printed line
continuously. but By quick Jerks OF
varying length. The eyor returns In an
unbroken sweep until near the end,
when II halts occasionally, as II to
get Its bearings. The average number
OF jerk movements In reading q news
paper line is about three. A line
slightly less than an inch in length
was read without any movement.

the authorities in Ems have issued a
notice in regard to the wearing OF
trains by ladies. in which the danger
is pointed out Of causing dust to fly
about in a town where there are 80
many invalids. The printed notice
concludes thus: Ladies will. perhaps,
find comfort in the fact that men are
also requested to refrain from smok-

are taking their walks. Should this
wish OF the authorities not be COM
