Dutch Cournue,

Every one when he speaks Of Dutch
courage means courage that is induced
by the cup that cheers and also inebrl.
ates-pot valiancy, in short, the exact
opposite of what has been called two
o'clOck-ln-thc-mo courage. Three
different Origins of the expression have
been suggested. According to some,
dutch" In this case Is used simply as
the adjective corresponding to the
noon Hollands" as applied TO that
kind of ardent spirits. Others assert
positively that the phrase arose as Il
sneer Mt the Dutch troops who showed
the white feather of Fontenoy. But
perhaps the best explanation Is that
this uncomplimentary allusion to the
Dutch refers to practice common in
former times in Holland of encourag-
ing those who were condemned to ex.
ecution to drink heavily before they
were hanged.

The Wool Trade.

Boston, Mass, June II, 1905
The wool market is quite, as far
as the actual volume Of trade is
concerned. There is, however,
considerable looking around, and
consumers are keeping in close
touch with the situation. In a
few instances some sales of fair
size have been put through, es-
pecially in Australian and Texas
woods, the former being bought
to a considerable extent during
the past beck by dealers on specu-
lation. There is not a broad gen.
eral demand for wool, however,
on the part of consumers, at pres
ent prices, but where they take
the wool they have to pay the
current quotations, and the tone
of the market continues strong.
The receipts of wool in Boston
this week amounted to 9,SO2
bales, against 20,0o3 bales last
week and 1892 bales last year.
The total receipts since January
have been 1872 bales Of domes-
tic and 104,S41 bales foreign

BUILDING A DAM ON END,
UNIQUE Construction Of Concrete on
/ Niagara's Brink.
Western Electrician.

! To build a dam in the form of
}column, standing on one end, and put
it in place by tipping it over into the
water, is certainly curious feat OF
engineering. This method has been
adopted, however, by the commits
sioners of Victoria Park, on the Ca
madam side at Niagara, to assist the
Niagara Falls Park and River rail
way. Ontario, in securing sufficient
depth of water in their joint intake in
Victoria
The Niagara Falls Park and River
railway is the electric line that forms
a part OF the Niagar> Gorge Belt
Line, as it skirts the top OF the cliff
on the Canadian side at Niagara. Ere
quently in the past it has been trorb-
led with lack Of water supply to op-
crate the turbines in it's power-sta-
ton, as it controls power rights in
Victoria Park. The city of Niagara
Falls, Ontario, takes its water supply
from this intake, and there have been
times when it has been forced to call
upon the officials of Niagara Falls,
N. Y, to supply it with water by
means of line of hose laid across the
lower steel arch bridge, All these
conditions have been quite annoying
both t. The railway company and the
city, and the complaint was made to
the commissioners of Victoria Park
that the water at the joint intake had
been lowered by works Of construc-
tion fo- power development.
It was under these circumstances
that the park commissioners consult
ed Mr.. Isham Randolph, consulting
engineer for the commissioners. Fol-
lowing the advice of Mr.. Randolph,
the park commissioners have erected
a concrete column 50 feet high and
7 feet 4 inches square on top Of tres
tie that stands twenty feet above the
ground level at the waterworks in
take. This giant column it is pro-
posed TO tip over into the river to act
as dam, designed to raise the water
level at the intake considerably.
-, The concrete of which the column
was made was mixed of one part ce-
1nent, three parts sand and five parts
stone. It's approximate weight is 200
tons, and every eight feet or so there
is inserted a wooden wedge that has a
width of foot at the outside and
which tapers to about six inches near
the center. The object of these wedges
is to break the column into six parts
as it falls. Running through the CEN
ter of the column there is big chain
that weighs about 800 pounds, and
this will hold the six pieces in which
the column is expected to break to-
gether. When PROSTATE the column
will BE about, twenty inches above
the ground level, and for this reason
an opening will be left between the
end OF the dam and the edge Of the
river in orccr that any ice which may
be floated down stream in front OF
the intake may be carried away. The
colHmn will be left standing for about
month and will be tipped by means
of jacks. The scene of the work is
hardly 600 feet back from the brink

democratic statesmen who make q speciaItv
of advocating economy and retrenchment"
when they themselves are out OF power are
again pulling long faces over the Treasury ont
look. They can see nothing ahead but deficits
and new taxes. The Hon. Leonidas f. Lfv-
ingstOn, of Georgia, ranking minority member
of the House Appropriations Committee. in an
interview the other day despaired of making
ends meet any longer with our present sources
of revenue, and declared that the time had
come to re-enact some of the emergency imposts
of the Spanish war period. In other quarters
a reduction of tariff rates has been urged for
the purpose of stimulating imports and increas-
ing the revenues, and the prediction has been
confidently made that Congress will scon have
10 choose between these two alternatives.
All this speculation rests naturally on the
assumption that the fiscal year 1905-'O6-like
The fiscal year 1904-05 and the fiscal year 1903
O4-will show a Treasury deficit. Mr. Liv-
ingston and other Democratic critics iumD
headlong at the conclusion that tic Treasury $
expenditures will again outrun its income. To
substantiate their faith they point TO the fact
that for July-the first month Of the new year
there vas a deficit Of $l3,S57.SG6 According TO
certain kindergarten methods Of calculation in
vogue with Democratic statesmen, Julys deficit
multiplied 10y twelve would give a deficit for
the year of over S166,0O0.0OO. With such run
on the Treasury in prospect we should certainly
need new taxation and need il in siXty-seyen
varieties. Yet what credence is 10 be given 10
these fantastic reckoningsl Have they any
more solidity than the phantom deficit of S144,-
100000 for l904-'05 worked Out 4 year ago by
the Democratic candidates for President and
yIoe.pnesident? As 2 matter Of fact. the Treas
ury statement for July does NOT foreshadow n
loss OF any sort on this years operations. The

water from Esopus will not make us then so
very much better off than we are now If we
had those o0o000000 gallons day now we
should have all the water could possibly
want. But five or six years hence there will be
a different story to tell
instead. therefore, of Brooklyn supinely
waiting five or six years for possibility of linn
ited relief energetic steps for immediate relief
independent of the Esopus enterprise should be
taken. The prohibition against going east OF
Amtyville should he repealed and the city
should be permitted TO utilize the copious floods
of pure water which are now running entirely
TO waste in Suffolk County, and which could be
turned into the Brooklyn mains within twelve
months. There should also be constructed at
once what will be needed in any event large
storage reservoir ut an elevation sufficient to
supply the city by gravity. 1t is disquieting
fact that at present the reservoirs of that char
acter have a gross capacity of less than three
days supply, and that failure of the pump
ing plant would thus put the borough within
three days of famine. II is q good thing to have
reservoirs out on the island for a billion gallons
but there ought TO be reservoir of that capac-
ity somewhere the Ridgewood hills from
which water would flow to all parts of the city
without pumping. There is plenty of room for
such a lake, and it will be needed. whether
County or from the Catsks.
1t is djscreditabe and should be regarded as
an intolerabie condition of affairs that the great
metropolitan Borough of Brooklyn should per
ennially be upon the verge of water famine,
and should at all times have so scanty supply
that the legitimate public and private of it
are stinted and restricted to a degree that i'm
pairs the beauty of the borough and the COM
fort and health of its inhabitants
