1T is now ascertained that the Rus

Russians opened valves, having pre-
yiously creased and otherwise protect

Evidently the capture of 2o3 Meter

that the Russians decided to sink

battleships and two cruisers will

OUR COAST DEFENSES.

The Government May do Something at
Bucksport.
1t now looks as though the Penobscot
was to be prepared for emergencies and
from the attacks of a future enemy
Maj. Arthur Murry, U. S. A., and
Capt. w. G. Ellis were in Bucksport
last week, where it is said they went to
look the ground over for the building
of coast defenses in that part of the
river. Maj. Murry is a recognized au-
thority on coast defenseS and has had
much to do with that work, his regular
station being at the United States sub
marine depot at Fort lotion, n. y. 1t
is not known just what is intended to
be done at Bucksport, or if any plans
have been made, but it is probable that
the visit of the two army officers to
that place is of considerable signif
canoe in view of the recent passage of
the bill by Congress appropriating a
large amount of money to be used in
coast defense. Old Fort Knox would
not long withstand the guns of a mod
ern ship of even the smaller size. Be
sides the old fort, which by the way is
grand bit OF scenery much admired by
visitors to Maine, there is little to pro-
tect the towns on the river from an at
tack by the enemy, or to stop them
from going to Bangor. Major hurry
has written book on coast defenses
and is member of an official army
board having coast defenses in control.
He served in the Philippines and saw
active service there.

One Hundred and Thirty-Six Miles of Rail-
road to he Built Over the Florida Keys.
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, Feb. I, 1908.
One OF the most peculiar roadbeds in
the world is about to be built in Florida
The Florida East Coast Railway Com
pany is about to build All extension of
its line from its southern terminus,
Miami, to Key West one hundred and
thlrty-slX miles. This extension will
be both unique i'll its conception and
novel in its proposed construction. The
Florida East Coast Railroad, as is well
Known, is the personal property of
Henry NJ. Flagler, and is located on
the Eastern rim of the State of Florida,
where it is for the greater part of it's
length in sight of the waters of the At
lantic Ocean.
Mr.. Flagler has for some time been
anxious to reach nearer point to Ha-
vana with his railroad, and to this end
had survey made from Miami across
the unexplored portions of Florida
to Cape Sable. After this survey was
made he decided that this line was not
feasible, and he, therefore, made sur
vey along the coast and the keys to
Key West.
Mr. Flagler now proposes to build an
extension south from Miami across to
Key Largo, on the neck of land separat-
ing Baines Sound from BlackWater
Sound, and running thence along Key
Largo, Long Key, upper and lower
Mattecumbe and other keys to Key
West.
These Florida keys are coral ridges,
most of them containing a lake in the
center and covered with thin soil and
luxuriant vegetation. Some are scarce
ly above high water, and are only a
mangrove thicket. Others are inhabit-
ed and cultivated, and some contain
wells or springs Of fresh water Out
side these keys runs the Florida reef,
another coral reef that does not reach
the surface of the water. Between
them is Hawk Channel which is used
by medium sized vessels.
Most of the channels connecting the
inside passage with Hawk Channel are
small and shallow. AS these keys are
exposed to the full fury of the tropical
storms, the work will involve a large
amount of filling on the coral rock
foundation.
Approximately thirty-fve miles of
the line will be over water and the bal
ance over keys partly rock and partly
submerged.
Most of the keys are destitute of soil,
and the only material available nearby
for filling is found in the bars and shoals
of pulverized sea shell formed near the
keys. An examination of the coast
chart shows that the building of a road
with grade eight feet above mean low
tide would require 10000 cubic yards of
material per mile.
At present there are three parties in
the field locating this line. They are in
charge of j. C. Meredith, engineer of
construction, whose headquarters are
at Miami, Fla. From the terminus at
Key West it is proposed to run boats to
Havana, eighty-fve miles. 1t is pro-
posed to build these ferry boats large
enough to carry freight trains. OLD.

THE FOG WILL LIFT.

The fog will lift before the day is done;
Already through the mist, spectral and
pale,
Half CLEANS the glory of the morning sun,
Half he disdains to draw the fleecy veil
Now for a moment clears the crested cliff;
And now, DIS suddenly it sinks from sight
But slowly, slowly, the gray fog will lift,
And yet again the earth and sky be
bright.
Now through the space stately mass APP
pears,
AS suddenly breezy sail doth shift,
Hopes messenger OF ocean seen through
tears,
AS DER the wave the filmy fog doth lift
So from my fate the fog shall lift full soon :;
Hope is not dead because the sun be hid,
A murky morning brings radiant noon;
The sunny eye will surely lift Its lid.
And more and more unto the perfect day
The shadows gathered on the way shall
drift.
"A clearer vision comes with evenings ray :;
Before the day is done the fog will lift.

THE MOTHERS STRIKE.

Such dream had! So dreadful
That / never heard the like;
For dreamt that on a sudden
The mammaS agreed to strike.
1--WE are tired" heard them murmur
"Tired Of working night and day,
And not always hearing Thank your
Such long hours and such poor pay!
So they would not mend the jackets
Nor the holes in stockings small,
No one ran to kiss the bruises
When poor Tommy caught fall.
No one bound up wounded fingers,
No one glued the broken toys,
No one answered all the questions
OF the eager little boys.
No one tied the little bonnets,
No one brushed the little curls,
No one basted dolly dresses
For the busy little girls.
No one heard their little troubles,
No one held them on her lap,
No one ed on truant buttons,
No one hunted Johnny's cap.
And there were no bedtime stories,
And no loving hands to tuck
Blankets soft round little sleepers;
For their mothers all had struck.
Oh, SO lonesome and so dreadful
And so queer it all did seem.
Aren't you glad, dear little children,
1t was nothing bit a dream?

The Whole Nation supports the Roosevelt
Plan.

The Whole Nation Supports the Roosevelt
Plan.
Judging by the result of a canvass of
State Governors, legislators and other
outspoken leaders of political thought,
President Roosevelt has the almost
unanimous support of the nation in his
fight for enlargement of the powers of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and for further governmental control
and regulation of railway freight rates.
East and West, North and South,
every Governor who was willing to be
quoted on the subject declared himself
to the Record Herald, which made the
canvass, in hearty accord with the sug-
gestions OF the President. Democratic
executives of the States were as cordial
In their Endorsements as Republican
Governors. In several of the States,
notably Kansas, Minnesota, Montana
aud Washington, the Legislatures,
taking their cues from President Roose-
welt, are preparing to vest their State
railway commissions with additional
powers or to create new commissions.
Legislative leaders and Governors
who were interested agreed that the
better control of rates in order to avert
unjust discrimination is one of the graf
est needs, if not the greatest, in the
country to-day. Although several
Governors are known to be hostile to
President Roosvelt's policy, none had
the courage to speak his mind, and they
pleaded lack Of time and opportunity
to study the question. Moreover, they
do not represent the popular seuti-
ment of their States.
The Governors of Michigan, Nebraska.
Minnesota, Georgia, Indiana, Washing
ton, Kansas, Montana, South Dakota,
Louisiana, Idaho, Wyoming and Rhode
Island We're frank to say the President
is on the right track, and in nearly
every case they gave assurance that
the public opinion of their respective
States sustained the administration
heartily in its policy.

The quickest and surest remedy would
be their legal abolition for series of
years. This, however, might prove a
harsh measure, and their regulation
would probably suffice to restore the
fisheries to their former flourishing
condition-even as they exist undimiD-
ished in Canada today, where stringent
laws have protected them.
Almost forty years ago, in 1865, our
New England fisheries showed their
first alarming decrease. Since that
time the supply of fish has been going
down steadily. In 1871 and 1872. the
United States Fish Commission inves-
tigated the subject and recommended
the passage of Federal laws restricting
the operations of traps and pounds and
weirs to certain days throughout the
spawning season. Not law has been
passed to protect the mackerel, how
ever.-Pearson's Magazine.
