The Suez canal is to be dcepened and
widened, il Mr.. Linden w. Bates, the
London hydraulic engineer, who is now
at Suez, reports that the work can be
done within a reasonable figure. The
Canal Company hopes that the great
waterway can be enlarged by the use
OF dredgcs, which are comparatively in
expensive. There is great need OF more
room in the channel, for ships have
been growing even greater, while the
canal has remained unchanged.
Mr.. Bates, who is now going over the
canal is enroute to Queensland for
whose government he has built three
colossal dredges on the Tyne. These
are to be used in clearing the harbors of
Queensland of mud and detrtus. The
largest OF the trio is the Hercules, a
sea going dredge of 5000 horsepower,
and by permission of the Queensland
government, it will be held in the canal
for a time and experiments made under
the direction of Mr.. Bates. II it proves
that credging is a satisfactory method

In an article in the current number Of
Success Thomas A. Edison makes some
hopeful predictions for electricity. He
says: Not only as motive power for
massive enterprises will electricity find
uses during the coming half century.
but IT wi also be applied to the 'gentler
sclerces,' ii | may Use the term. By
this | mean surgery, optics and astrono-
my, but greater minds than mine must
dwell on this particular branch of cleo
trical usage. Already we have surgical
instruments that are being operated by
electricity with gratifying success; in
deed they have gone beyond the expert
mental stage. 1t will find large field
in the operation of manufacturing ma
chinery, as the Niagara Falls plant
shows, and it may even extend to the
airship, but | think it best to confine its
uses to the earth, until these uses have
been exhausted.
Electricity as a science should be
made one OF the several studies in every
school in the land 1t should rank with
spelling and arithmetic; for, the more
it is used, the more potent it becomes
as an important element in all of the
worlds general affairs, and its value, in
connection with practical business and
business affairs, cannot be given too
prominent place in Americas future.

SHEEP FED BY ELECTRICITY.
An Up-to-Date Invention for Farmers Now
Trial In Michigan.

An Up-to-Date Invention for Farmers Now
Trial In Michigan.
A man named McNair has devised
system of pasturing sheep by cleo
tricity and experiments are being
made with it at the agricultural ex-
pertinent station of Michigan at Ian.
sing. In recent years nearly every
town of any size has been provided
with an electric generating plant and
frequently the wires are strung along
country roads from town to town.
This fact led Mr.. McNair to attempt
the use of electricity on the farm.
For sheep feeding he devised q
curious pen some Is feet square,
built Of wire and mounted on broad,
fiat wheels. This pen is designed to
run in any pasture, even though it be
hilly. Wires connect it with a small
motor stationed at one side of the
pasture, this, in turn. being connect
ed with the electric wires from which
power is derived. A turn of n button
and the pen slowly creeps across the
field. That is the essence of the in
vention

old eve have been pastured in the
pen during the summer at the station
at Lansing. The field is planted with
lucerne, growing thick and heavy.
The pen is so arranged that it crawls
the full length of the pasture in one
month, travelling about two feet an
hour; at the end of this time it is
switched around and travels back
again. AS it moves the sheep eat every
bit of fodder, eagerly cropping next
the forward side of the pen as it runs
over new ground. A bit of canvas duck
is hung over one corner of the pen
so that the sheep may be well shell
| tered and. curious as it may seem,
| they have become so accustomed to
| the moving of the pen that when they
lie down to sleep they snuggle up close
to the forward end of the pen so that
they may lie as long as possible with
out being disturbed by the rear end of
the pen as it creeps toward them.
When the pen has passed. the
| lucerne that has been cropped by the
sheep grows up again, and by the time
the pen has made it's monthly circuit
the pasture is again in good condition.
The advantages of this electrical pen
are that the sheep are kept from run
ming over, half-eating and trampling
down a large amount of pasture, and
it keeps the sheep quiet so that they
take on flesh rapidly.
But it has its disaavantages-tho
sheep must have water carried to
them daily-and the electricity is
somewhat expensive. Still the expert
ment thus far has shown striking re-
suits. One wonders what the inventor
viii do next. Already he has produced
mechanism by means of which the
farmer, on arising in the morning, may
push a button at his bedside and feed
all his horses. there being an electrical
connection with the barn so arranged
that when the button is pushed a Ger
tain quantity of oats is let down into
each feeding box.

Indigo 10 bo Displaced.

British manufacturers have not
thought it worth while to study the pro-
grcssive chemistry OF analine or napthol
dyes, says London correspondent to
the Paris Messenger. They have been
content to leave the field open to Ger
many, and the result is now obvious.
Time was when British aniline dyes
commanded the market OF the world.
1t is impossible to understand why that
market was ever lost. Nothing but in
difference can account for it, and then
we have to explain the Indifference,
which is impossible At any rate, the
market has gone, and there is not an
aniline or napthol dye used at the pres
ent day which is not produced in Ger
many.
The industry OF the manufacture of
British dyes is dead and the industry in
British India OF the growth OF indigo
will follow it. Behar and other prov
inccs will feel it, and it will mean the
ruin OF innumerabie natives who have
lived year after year on the produce of
indigo. Dyeing with indigo, however.
is al best a clumsy and prolonged pro-
cess. 1t means immersions in various
compounds according to the material OF
the fabric TO be dyed.
Like indigotine, the new German dye
provides for single bath. So confident
are the manufacturers of the success oi
their product that a considerable sum
has been spent on the necessary produc-
tive plant, and the new year will wit
ness the advent OF the new dye. Save
as a speciality indigo will not last be
yond year or two, and then another

IN September. and offering the boys of
Honolulu a chance to enter an exhibit
which they feel sure would attract much
attention and be a credit to Honolulu.
This exhibit should be forwarded the LIST

once. 1t will make their tramps in the
mountains more interesting.
