 Ths Dutch language has apparently had a setback in South Africa. A pe- gition was recently presented to the board of management of the Kimberley high schools in favor of the teaching of Dutch to the scholars attending these schools. In order to ascertain the views of those most concerned. the board sent out a circular to fiji parents requestiIn those who were desirous of
 -neIhg taugh during school hours as part of the ordinary curriculum to write to the board, stating their wish. Only twenty, however, were anxious that Dutch should be so treated, and these twenty parents represented only thirty-six children out of a total of 775 Eattending the high schools.
 It is an almost forgotten fact that 4resident Rooseyelt's grandfather was 5 the first man to navigate a steamboat on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Cap tain Roosevelt was a close personal friend of Robert Fulton, inventor of the steam craft. Soon after Fultons sue eessful voyage on the Hudson the cap- tain conceived the idea of launching such craft on what were then West efT waters. Tn the spring of 1911 the vessel was launched at Pittsburg and the presidents grandfather began his voyage to the gulf. He entered the Mississippi during the throes of the earthquake which devastated 50 much of southeastern Missouri, but weather the tlnult successfully and cortinu- ed his trip to New Orleans.
 There are some big farms out west. What is believed to be the largest cul- tivated farm in the Indian territory lies on a big bend In the Arkansas river in the Osage nation. This is known as the Bill Connor ranch. The river at that place makes a sweeping curve around twelve sections of land. It is a leasehold owned by H. Gilliland of Pon- ca City. A large per cent. of this land is under cultivation. Last year there were 125, 900 bushels of corn in addition to the big crop of cotton and other crops. The crop this year is larger than it was last. The corn is husked and piled on the ground in large ricks. { One of these big piles of corn was sold few days ago, just as it lay on the ground, for ss,ooO in cash. It is be- lieved that the value of the corn crop on this farm this year will be s3s, 900 and the other crops will swell this amount to $5O,OoO.

BosToN,s NER rUnNEL.

Boston is rejoicing in its new tun- mel. This tunnel runs between Boston and East Boston beneath Boston har- Dor. Its length under water is but half mile. although its full length is 1.4 miles. The tunnel cost three millions, and has been leased to the elevated road of that city, for the exclusive use of electric cars between the two places. The tunnel is built entirely of concrete and is the only tunnel of the kind in the world. It has a maximum width of 23 feet, inches. and an average height under the harhor Of 20 feet, 6 inches. There is a depth of earth be- tween the top of the tunnel and the bed of the harbor of about 20 feet, the low est point of the tunnel being about 90 feet below mean high water. When Boston harbor is dredged, however. to the anticipated depth of 40 feet, the depth of the earth covering the tunnel will moi exceed five feet. The interior diameter Of she tunnel Is 20 per cent. greater than that of the St. Clair tun- nel and 90 per cent. greater than the Hudson river tunnel, The tube is de- clared by experts to be absolutely fire proof and practically safe against leak age. 4 ride through this tunnel will be a curiosity Tor awhile, and then there will be doings in the big New York tun- nel. Life is certainly lively in these days

The power of turbine wheel of certain di- mensions' increases directly with the head of the water that passes through it, So that "a high head yields required power with relatively small, cheap wheel. A small turbine has a higher economical speed of rotation than a lar ger one would, and, as wheels and cleo tric generators are generally direct-con- nected, the higher the speed of the for mer the less is the weight and cost ot the latter.

 Perhaps when the coal is all used up there will still be power enough to do the work with The Electrical Review Icalls attention to the thousands of small water powers that continue to run to waste in localities where power could be utilized for electric lighting, manu- facturlng, street-car propulsion and the like. consideration, says the Review, will surely be given, sooner or later, to the numerous small water powers, and they Will be transmitted to the minor centers of population. In this way a very large class of small water powers will be made to operate electrical supp ply systems that are now entirely lack. ing, or else depend on steam. The, small water powers will contribute to electrical supply in cities and towns of moderate population rather than in large ones because 1t is not economical to transmit small powers over long dis tances, and because the minor centers .of industry are comparatively near by.

FOR HSKBOR DEFENcE.

Of course we do not expect an attack
 from any other nation now, but these
 are touchy times, and itsis well enough
 to be prepared. So the fact that plans
 are about to be made for the defence of
 tho Atlantic ports by mines and torpe-
 does is encouraging. Major George F.
 l.. Harrison asserts that there is not a harbor in tho United States to-day that IS provided with means to establish an effective mine defence, either at once or
 within a period of time that could in
 reason be looked for at the hands of an active and enterprising enemy He says that while E good progress has been made in the past ten years in putting
 up Qualifications along the coast, the question of submarine defences has been overlooked or neglected. Continu- ingg. Major Hasrison says: The subrna- rine mine equipment. as now provided, is by no means complete, and unless prompt and proper measures are taken i to remedy these deficiencies, this par ticular and important clement of de-
 fence will be found wanting. if it does
 not absolutely fail, in the event of a sudden and unexpected outbreak Of war. With regard to this mat. ter of the completion of the entire ap- proved scheme of submarine defence of the country and the probable cost thereof, there is absolutely no reason, 1 except the lack os necessary funds for the work, why this important element I of coast defence should not be com- pieted at once. The cost will not ex- ceed, and possibly not equal, one-half the cost of one modern battleship. If this estimate is even approximately correct the necessity for the prompt completion of the entire scheme Of sub- marine mine defence and the advant-
 age to be thereby gained will at once 1 be seen; for the moment that this is done it will enable the whole of our
 much more costly navy to practically
 cut loose from our coast and carry the war wherever strategic reasons may require, with perfect confidence that every harbor provided with mine de- fence is practically secure against any sudden attack an enemy could bring against it. s@ Let Us have more defences while we 1 are waiting for more Peace Con- gresses. The latter are good, but the. former seem to be essential.
