have accommodation for thirtyfiv
patients, and Will allow for the increase
OF the class of nurse training students
to twenty-four. 1t is hoped that at
some time it Will be possible to enlarge
the hospital so as to include an out
patient department. This would not
only allow for the training of more
students, but would be an inestimable
benefit to the colored people OF the en-
tire state of Alabama.
There is no department of the work
at Tuskegee which is more successful
or more beneficial in its far-reaching
results than this, and the school has
not been able to begin 10 supply the
requests made from all over the south
for young colored men ana women who
are trained nurses. The course of
training is thorough. and requires
three years to complete. 1t IS so popu-
lar among the students that last year
there were sixty applicants for adrnis-
sion. With the accomnoda t.ons which
the school has had up to the present
time it has been possible 20 receive
only about fifteen students into the

senior year they are employed by the
local physicians OF the county to take
charge OF cases for them, thus getting
much practical experience. Graduates

Beaumont, Texas, the center OF the
fuel oil industry, is planning to have a
deep-water canal built from the Gulf
to Neches river. on which the city is
situated. The river itself is deep. it
seems, and when the channel is cut
through sand at its mouth and Lake
Sabine the ten miles CT the water
course between Beaumont and the Gulf
will receive the largest steamships. 1t
is said that the water before Beau

From a recently published report of
the Mississippi river commission to the
Paris congress OF navigation it is
learned that the commission has in its
charge 4 stream 1850 miles in length
and that a detailed survey of it's every
portion is necessary. The river leaves
its source, Lake Itasca, with a width of
only thirty feet and d depth of five feet,
and at that point is l ,5sO feet above sea
level. Commercial navigation reaches
to within twenty-five miles of the lake.
Steamboat navigation begins at the
mouth of the Minnesota river. not far
below Minneapolis. 5s4 miles from the
source and ESQ feet above sea level.
Lighthouses and landmarks are pro-
vided along the entire length. and
every aid to navigation is furnished.
Forty years ago pilots leaving Lake
Pepin in fog waited TIL they heard
! the bark OF the only dog in the region
and then steered north-northeast from
I the bark Bars are dredged when nee
essary and the banks are protected by
woven mattresses of boughs. The ex-
treme range between high and low
water at St. Louis amounts to no less
than thirty-seven feet. At this point
the river bed falls six inches to the
mile. Between Arkansas and Green
vile. the distance along the river lis
forty miles while the airline is
but fifteen miles. One of the
greatest difficulties OF the WORK
| is due to driftwood and to the
snags and sawyers. These are removed
| by specially constructed snagboats
| that patrol the river. The powerful
dredgers are worked by centrifugal
/ pumps, which can raise 10000 cubic
J yards of material per hour. The delta
! is 500 miles long, thirty to forty miles
/ in width and covers an area of 100000
square miles. Three hundred and
si4ty-two million tons OF material are
annually carried by the stream into the
Gulf of Mexico and there deposited.
! Some idea of the work done by a great
river may be had by reckoning the
| freight charges on the transport of n
mass of material like this. The ma
terial carried by the Mississippi annu-
! ally would cost more than billion OF
/ dollars to transport at the rate of a
| twentieth OF a cent per ton per mile.

that he has found place in the Pocono

was in the last stage of consumption.

he could hardly stand a minute, This

discovery applies to all mountains OF

There is a business man OF this city
