ST. Louis Trying to Close Chicago's
Drainage Canal.

St. Louis people claim that the refuse
of the city of Chicago. which is carried
by the artificial canal into the Illinois
river and thence into the Mississippi
river. has polluted the drinking water
of the city of st. Louis They have
brought suit which will be heard before
the United States supreme court shortly
to bring about the closing of the canal.
which was built at an expense of $i0nNp-
600. The Chicago city officials laugh at
the allegations of the St Louis people
and present affidavits of chemists to
prove that by the time the water drifts
down as far as st. Louis it is purified by
chemical action so that it is as healthy
as the water of the best springs. The
fight between the two cities has taken on
a humorous turn to outsiders. The st.
Louis authorities sent a bacteriologist To
Germany to secure harmless germs pre-
viousy unknown in this country. Tho
agent allowed the germs to multiply in
107 barrels of water which were dumped
into the Chicago canal. At the proper
time nets and other appliances were set
out to catch the germs as they sailed
past St Louis. Five of the germ bacili
were captured by the watching scientists
and were taken before the commission as
proof of the necessity for the closing of
the canal
Judge Springer. who will present the
case for the Chicago officials makes the
following comment regarding the Ger
man germ episode:
THE ST. Louis chemists say that in
one cubic centimeter of the water they
dumped in the canal there We're one
thousand million of these germs. | have
had a cubical centimeter made, which is
about the size of the tip of your little
finger. Now, it would take an expert
mathematician and one well Versed in
the higher values of figures to ascertain
how many quadrillion billion bacilli there
were in the 107 barrels, each containing
twenty-four gallons of water, provided
that in one cubic centimeter there were
one thousand million of the germs. The
| total number surpasses our power to cal
| culate. Now then, out of all that count
less swarm of germs the St Louis eX-
| perts were able to capture only 1--WE, al
| though they were sitting up nights look
| ing for them. Doesn't that prove con
| clusively that the water is purified in
its transit down the Mississippi? What
| became of all the rest of those imported
| germs? They were killed by the chem
| zeal action of the waters, just as are al
| OF the native bacilli. The St Louis peo'
pie have helped us win our case by this
experiment"

Modern Engineering Feats.

An unparalleled engineering feat has re-
Gently been achieved in Australia of i'm

ing 100000 gallons of water day for
a distance of $50 miles from the Helena
river to Kalgoorlie. has been accom-
piished by English engineers, by means
of "A great dam, called the Mundaring

234 Miners Killed in Hanna, Wyo.

Hanna, Wyo., was the scene of a
terrible disaster Tuesday, when an
explosion of tire-damp in mine No.
of the Union Pacific Coal company
spufed out the lives of pa men. and
caused the destruction ofs vast
amount of property. Less than 80
men who We're in the mine escaped.
Nearly all the victims were Finlar ers
or negroes. The mine was not H. ed
as was first feared but the explosion
was terrific and completely shattered
the timbers of the main shaft and en-
frances. filling the working with debris.
and those of the miners that were not
killed outright by the explosion were
buried alive. The explosion was heard
for many miles and attracted people
from adjoining settlements. Huge
timbers and railroad iron were hurled
200 feet from the mouth of the shaft.
superintendent Brooks and a large
force of men began the work of re
moving the debris from the shaft that
they might reach the entOmbed miners.
The partys progress into the mine
was blocked by the foul gasses and
several times they were forced to re-
turn to the surface.
