The new dock. of the Alexandra Chemical
Company is now in use. the big four masted
schooner Bertram being berthed there to
load cargo OF phosphate rock from a
Florida port. The new dock Is the most
complete on the Potomac, being equipped
with steam appliances for removing cargo
from the hold of the vessel, and cars are
used to-Scarry the cargo from the pier to
the warehouse in which 1t Is to &c, on rails
running from the wharf to all parts of the
fertilizer making works. There Is said to
be twenty-five feet of water alongside the
new pier at low water, and no d fficuity
viii be had in docking any vessel there that
can come up the river. Before this new
pier was built large vessels laden with
phosphate rock and other chemicals had
to lay out In the stream until about q third
of their cargoes was discharged on lighters
and their draft was made light so that they
could get into the dock. This is but one

To Protect Lighthouse From Ice.

Work is progressing rapidly on the new
ice break now in process OF construction
about the light station at Lower Cedar
po,nt on the lower Potomac. about sixty
miles below this city. The tug James o.
Carter left here yesterday towing three
large scows laden with stone from the quar-.
r;as above Georgetown and steam hoist
i,,g machine for Cedar Point. The stone
on the scows is to be used In the new ice
break and the hoisting machine Will place
the stone where 1t is wanted. The work
win be completed before there is any dan
ger from drifting ice and will protect the
iirht structure from being harmed by the
ice banking against II and doing 1t damage.
a year or two ago the keepers of one of the
LIGHTS on the Potomac were forced to ADAM
don the light and get to the shore as fast
as possible. as there was danger that the
lirht would be carried away by the great
masses of ice piiing against It, AS 1t turned
out the lighthouse was not carried away,
but was seriously damaged. and 1t was sew
eral weeks before 1t could be made ready
for service again. To protect the Cedar
Point Light from such disaster the ice
break is being built around 1t.

TO MAKE WALK TO SHIP.
Small Pier to Be Constructed for Bene-

Plans have been prepared for the build

Washington barracks end of Water street
to the monitor Puritan, the big practice
ship of the D. c. Naval Battalion. which is
lying at anchor at the foot of Water street
All communication between the big ship
and the shore is now maintained with this
use of launches and rowboats. This does
very well under ordinary conditions, but
when the members of the Naval Battalion
have an at home aboard ship much delay
and trouble is had in transferring the WIS.,
itors to and from the ship AS she is but
seldom moved from her anchorage the pro-
posed walkway could be built and used the
greater portion of every year. In building
the walkway it is stated that old piles
now in place can be utilized for a consider
able portion of the distance between II.

National Organization Holds Meeting
in Hubbard Memorial Hall.

The National Society of Fine Arts held
its second meeting last evening IN the HUB
bard Memorial Hall, the president, MT.
Charles j. Bell, and his wife acting as
hosts. This organization was Incorporated
at meeting held In the Cosmos Club last
March. and an initial general meeting was
he'd in April at the home of Mrs. Pinehot
Its object is to promote the cultivation OF
the fine arts. and its purpose to hold regu-
lar monthly meetings. arrange a course OF
lectures and to get together. from time to
time. notable exhibitions
The special feature last evening was an
address by George L. Raymond. professor
of estnetics at George Washington Univer-
sity, on THE Fine Arts as Related to Gem
eral Culture At first he 6welt upon the
intellectual side of art, or its relation to
everyday life, and especially of its influence
upon the. powers of observation, reflection
and construction. He told how, when one
sought a travelling companion, the selec-
ton would naturally fall upon the one with
trained vision, and how the poet and orator
who spoke with greatest force was the one
who was able to find graphic pictorial ex-
preston. The world means to us, he told
his audience, what we are able to get out
OF 1t, and we mean to others what amount
Of it we can give to them. 1t was, there
fore, more than worth while, he thought,
to recognize ard cultivate the artistic SEN
sibilities, an appreciation of the esthetfc.
ern novel, drama and sculpture or paint
ing, he spoke In cathing terms.
Prof. Raymond firmly insisted that art
was not, and had never been, the cause of
national decadence; and he suggested that
a Misrepresentation of it's ethics was directly
attributable to its poorly instructed friends.
1t is impossible, he said, to continually
hammer on the faIaces afioat, but. testify
ing upon all appropriate occasions to the
truth, we must trust it, and God, to set
things straight
Several times during the address Prof.
Raymond was interrupted by applause, and
at its conclusion he was given a unanimous
vote of thanks.
Light refreshments were served. and an
nouncement was made of the next meeting
to be held on the evening of December Il
at the home of Mr.. William A.. Slater, at
which time an address on the Tendency of
Modern Painting will be delivered by Mr..
Charles H. Caffln, the well-known art critic
and writer.
Among those present were Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Lind Morse. Mr.. and Mrs. Percy
Ash, Mr. E. c. Messer, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn
Brown, Mr.. r. N. Brooke, Mr. and Mrs
William H. Holmes, Mr.. James Henry
Moser Miss Mueden, Miss Aline Solomons.

Assembly Days" at Business School.

Wednesday and Thursday are assembly
days at the Business High School. Last
week the twenty minutes after the deyo-
tional exercises were given to Mr.. Finckea,
who conducted several songs. The results
speak well for that grade work, with effects
that were highly satisfactory.
This week Mr. Davis spoke OF school
athletics from a very logical educators
standpoint He advised a more generous
treatment OF the pupils who need athletes
the most by opening the way for all to
have a chance In the games. the little fell
lows who play to grow, as well as the big
fellows who play to the grand stands He
called their attention to the Importance of
carrying their athletic principles into their
work by taking better care of stomach,
heart and lungs; by walking TO and from
school with correct carriage and proper
breathing. and by cultiyating a scientific
hobby that would put them in touch with
nature out-of-doors. He was heartily ap-
plauded.

beast, the hired man almost losing his life.
