FOOD IN Il NAVY.
GOOD Quality as Necessary In Eat
abIes as 1t Is In the Ammu-
milton Provided.

"GoOd food is just as important as
good ammunition and good guns, says
Rear Admiral Kenney, chief of the
bureau of supplies and accounts, "and
it is the policy of the government to
give the men good, wholesome food,
of as near uniform quality as posi-
BILE, and as tastefully and %palatably
prepared as we can get cooks to pre-
pare it. We believe that with the pres
emit ration we can feed the men in
quantity and variety wen enough so
that they are not compelled to use
part of their pay for additional food.
This is an important consideration, and
gives to the pay Of the enlisted men
of the navy of the United States an
actual value very considerably be-
yond the enlisted mems pay of any
navy in the world"
The remarks were called forth by the
recent comment Of the London Daily
Express on the mess cook book issued
for the use of the United States navy.
The Express remarked: 'The Amer
lean navy for a hundred years has had
the reputation of being the best fed
navy in the world"
Speaking of the condition existingin
the British navy, the Express says:
'The delay in improving the food
Of the British b~luejacket is causing

UraI outlet exists here, 65 feet above
sea IevelE OF course, the spillway
must be higher than that to main
tain the desired level in Lake Bohio.
The commission proposes to have it
IS feet above the sea. From the
Gigantic the water will drain off
through swamps to the lower
Chagres, a little e~xcavating helping
the flow here. 1t is expected that
the Gigantic spillway will serve as
an automatic safety valve in time of
floods.
AS already stated, about 1914 miles
of the route lie through Lake Bohio.
For fully seven miles there will be
deep water. Only a little dredging
will be necessary as Gamboa is APP
preached. To the southeast of the
latter point lies the heaviest work
along the whole route. For nearly
eight miles (7.95 to be exact) a cut in
the backbone of the isthmus will be
needed to bring the canal down to the
proper level. This is known as the
Culebra cut. The water will be no
higher here than in Lake Bohio, and
there will be no locks. However, as it
may be desirable to drain the Culebra
level some time, gates will be intro
duced near Gamboa lat Obispo.)
1t may be remarked, in passing, that
the depth of the Culebra cut bears a
close relation, to the height of the Boz
hio dam. The amount of excavation in
the former was lessened 20 feet when
the commission decided to raise the
level of Lake Bohio to 90 feet above the
sea, instead of 70 feet. On the other
hand, if Gen. Abbot's recommends
lions had been adopted, it would have
been,necessary to go 20 feet lower in
the cut. Part of the material to be re-
moved here is rock, but a good deal
more is. merely clay.
Partly to control the excuses of the
Cbagres in very rainy weather, it has
been proposed to build a dam at Alba
juela, 10 or II miles east of Gamboa.
near the source of the stream. An arti-
fetal lake there would serve as a re<er-
voir, take care of part Of the surplus
water when the precipitation was
heavy, and thus relieve Lake Bohio OF
a part of its responsibility. By
affording storage it would,
be able to reinforce the lower lake ii.
the dry season.
At the southeastern end of the Culel
bra cut, at Pedro Miguel, there is a
drop of 81 feet, managed by two locks.
At Mirahores, a mile and a third
further, another lock lowers the level
% feet more. Beyond that point to
Panama, over four miles, the canals at
sea level. Dredging in Colon harborto
the extent Of 2.6 miles and at Panama
for SO miles will add materially to the
work required, but these figures are
not included in the estimates already
given in congress for the canal proper.

ratification of the treaty. The canal
strip is to be leased to the United
States for 100 years, with the priv.
lege of renewal; but all rights and
privileges of sovereignty are reserved
by Colombia. Even the right to en-
force police regulations in the leased
territory is granted only in case Of
emergency. According to article 90

From Lake Bohio the canal follows

is proposed to have the bottom of

A True Canvng-RnnE.

A good story is told of John Asst
ley, a fellow student with Sir Joshua
Reynolds in London and in Rome.
While walking in the Campagna
Reynolds and some other students
took off their coats; but for a long
time nothing would persuade young
Ashley to take his off. At last he
was prevailed son to do so, and the
cause of his unwillingness to comply
with the wishes of his friends was
then revealed by an oil sketch of a

erary efforts bring him in more than
$4,000 every year. This work is all
done, somehow, without interfering
with his senatorial work. Prejudice
against, him for defeating the state
hood bill cannot blind ones eyes to his
great intellectual gifts.
Senator Hoar is as great as Web
ster was, if not greater, because he is
not a specialist. He is one. of the most
polished gentlemen in public life, a
profound scholar, an orator, a man of
absolute fearlessness in the ~utterance
of his views, well versed in the laws of
nations, as well as the constitution and
laws of our own land; a well-rounded
statesman without a superior in this
OF any other country. So long as such
a man is sent to and retained in the
senate there is no need for signing
about the good old days and intimat-
ing thereby that craftsmanship is de-
t~eriorating, or becoming a thing of the
remote past. There were giants in
those days, and there are giants in
these days also"

the canal zone, according to article
IS, will be in cases between citizens
of the United States and citizens of
any foreign nation other than the
republic of Colombia"
The principal engineering feats of
the canal are, of course, of universal
interest just now. The isthmus of
Panama is IS miles wide in a straight
line, but the canal will be about
3sh miles long, not including chan
mel dredging in the terminal harbors.

A Character

There came last week with the Hi.
nois men who were investigating our
oil fields. Mr., Joseph Daily of Chilli
cothe, III. Mr.. Daily is well pre-
served gentleman of IA but might
readily be mistaken for a boy of CO..
He Is native of the Emerald Isle
and has the tongue and native wit of
his people. We enjoyed chat with
Mr.. Daily as we seldom enjoy one
man conversation.
He was pioneer in central illinois,
having located 10 Peoria county in
1866, poor boy.
He is not poor now. He was the
originator and promoter of the drain
age system through central Illinois,
that redeemed from the swamp thou
sands of acres of land and made it the
richest farm land on earth.
He has just now succeeded, after a
years hard work, in having levy Of
eleven miles ia length ordered in
along the Illinois river above Peoria.
1t may be interesting to our levy men
along the Neosho to know something
OF the dimensions of this levy. 1t is
to be so feet broad at the base, Is feet
high and about Is feet broad on top.
The levy with the drainage bitches
will redeem about $4,000 acres Of
land that is now worth practically
nothing, and soon give it value of
$50 to 800 per acre, at cost of 10 to
$40 an acre.
Mr.. Daily made some little invest
ments while here and will doubtless
make more 10 time.

Craig was accused Of attempting to
