A trolley line from omaha to Fort
Crook and Bellevue has been a long
felt want and If the line were supple
mented by a macadamiZed roadway, as
has been the trolley line between
Omaha and Florence, suburban travel
would be materially improved. Inas-
much, however as neither the city of
Omaha nor the counties of Douglas and
Sarpy are in condition to finance the
much needed road, the effort to have
the improvement made by Uncle Sam
should be renewed in the next congress.
We have the word Of Quartermaster
General Humphrey that the War de-
partment will cheerfully set apart a

The work of developing the British port
OF Dover into irst-rate naval base and
fortress, to rank with Gibraltar or sInga-
pore, is proceeding apace. The great south
ern breakwater OF the Admiralty harbor,
Loo yards long, begun less than a year
ago is to be completed in eighteen months.
To give an idea OF the gigantic nature of
this work. it may be stated that the solid
masonry is constructed In forty-hve feet
OF water at low tide. Is seventy feet thick
at the base, and about 100 feet high. In
eighteen months the harbor will be com
pletely protected from the sea, and will
afford fleets lying in il complete immunity
from torpedo attack, being. with the ex-
ception of Portland. the only harbor in
the United Kingdom which offers these
advantages. II IL understood that a scheme
for constructing a dock for submarines
will appear in the forthcoming Parlia-
mentary estimates, and that floating dry
docks will be stationed at Dover, although
1t is proposed that these should II neces-
sary, be towed in war time to any base the
fleet may be actually working from.

Why a Redhot Poker Does Not Hiss

When. in the first experiment, cold
water comes in contact with the hot
iron there is IA sudden ana explosive

of innumCrahlc bubbles.
When, on the other hand, a poker IL
thrust into boiling water, which is
already freely giving forth steam, the
Introduction of the hot iron by still
further assisting steam production
causes the poker to become at once

which effectually prevents the water
