tor the past century, is popularity look
ed upon as an engineering problem in

contemporary history. The land that
would be reclaimed by this work would
be about $50 square miles.

News refers to a work in this direction
now being carried out along the Mis-
sissippi which will reclaim a tract Of
land $500 square miles in extent. The
work Of retaining the St. Francis ba-

the Mississippi between New Madrid,
IN Missouri, and Helena. in Arkansas,
is already we'll under way, only a few
additional miles of levees being neces-
sary to complete the artificial banks
which are to hold in check the flood
waters of the Mississippi. The soil is
an ~alluvial deposit, and therefore re-
markably fertile and capable of the
highest cultivation.
A comparison OF the extent of the
st. Francis basin with the combined
areas of Rhode Island and Delaware
gives a good idea of its magnitude. All
Of this area was recently overlooked
by the waters of the Mississippi. With
the exception of a few gaps there has
been constructed in this work a con

The crew will spend three months alternately on board the reserve and active vessels, the first division having a mobilization of some days at the end of each three months. Measures are to be taken for testing the endurance of the torpedo boats and their capabilities of speed, and a system of workshops is to be established for temporary repairs. This new organization is expected to in crease greatly the present effectiveness of coast defence, and the whole system will be under the supervision of vice. admiral, who will be responsible for it's working order.

 made by a former employe of the Ger man legation, was that he had worked for the election of MT. Bryan in the
 campaign of 1900 with the understand ing that if Bryan should be elected
 Germany would be granted the right to set up naval station in the Caribbean Sea. Most of the German papers accept
 the statement made by the German em-
 bassy that neither Von Holleben nor
 any one connected with the German le

1f ERGING.

President Ingalls, of the Big Four rail- road sees danger ahead for the country and perhaps for himself. The tenden- cy towards the merging of the great railroad systems must stop some time, :" Mr. Ingalls is reported to have de- clared, and in my judgment that time has arrived, Why, a railroad president nowadays must lock his road up in a safe at night to be certain of having it the next morning. You see we can- not tell how ambitious our Caesar will be. If the merging of railroads should be carried to what apparently is it's log ical conclusion, one man would be at the head of all the roads in the United States. The government would then be forced to step in and assume ownership and control. That contingency I would regard as nothing short of public calamity
 MT. Ingalls correctly points out the logical conclusion of the merging busi- ness, But is there much use in talking about stopping it? Can it be stopped until it has led to disaster, Morgan ownership, or government ownership? And if it can be who really knows that it ought to be?
