Modern Canal Making.

How a canal is made is illustrated
in the excavation near Seattle of a
canal two miles long, SO feet deep at
low water and 60 feet wide at the
bottom, which is to connect tidewater
with fresh water lake near Seattle.
The work is being done by hydraulic
monitors, the supply for which comes
from reservoir. The available head
is 200 feet and the quantity used is
between 100000 and 100000 gal
Ions per twenty-four hours. The con-
duit consists in part of wooden stove
ter. With a 6-inch nozzle an average
daily excavation of 1000 cubic yards
is attained. The material is glacial
deposit, containing sand, gravel bould-
ers and several varieties of clay, some
of which have required shaping up by
light blasting before the water would
penetrate them. The eXcavated mate
rial is being used to reclaim tract
of land now submerged at high tide,
being conveyed to the site in part by

to IL inches thick, set on end and laid

found to suffice, choking being liable
to occur with more easy slopes
Where the flume ends a pipe line has
been employed, the penstock at the up
per end of which is lined with wood
in the same way as the flume in order

pipe line is 1900 feet.

Metal Discovered by Accident.

The discovery OF glass was an acct
dent, and so was the discovery of the
new metal, radium argentiferum-an
interesting accident. The inventors,
two Tuscan engineers, Turaglian and
Fabian, had spent nearly 100000 in
futile experiments, when Turaglian,
annoyed with their inability to fuse his
metals after hours of boiling, fortui-
tously Glanced to toss two franc
piece into the crucible. The coin sup
piled the needed ingredients for fusion
and the problem was solved. The new
metal is composed of copper, iron and
fine portions of silver, radium and

FRENCH POLITENESS.
Builder of Submarines Tells of His
Experiences.

Simon Lake, the builder of cabma.
rines, returned recently from Paris,
where lie was much impressed with
French politeness.
"a delightful civility," he said, the
other day, marks the demeanor of the
French people. A French nobleman is
as polite to his servants as a poor
American is to millionaire. In the
shops the salepeople receive you with
an air that is neither servile nor i'm
pudent, an indescribable air of friend
Illness that is wholly charming. In the
subway and on the electric tramways
and omnibuses the conductors are as
polite as though their cars were their
parlors and you an nonored guest
II congratulated a Frenchman one
evening on the good manners of his ma
ton, and he was very much pleased.
He told me an anecdote illustrative
OF French politeness.
"He said during the revolution a
noble was on the way to the guillotine.
AS he rumbled in the cart along the
boulevards howls and jeers from a
half-drunken crowd were rained upon
him, and finally a young woman, as
she ran along beside the turmoil,
cried
"'You tall villain, you will soon be
shorter by a head
docs that please you, madam
said the doomed noble civililly.
"'Yes, it does she answered.
Then said he, I do not die in

Every housekeeper should know
that IL they will buy Defiance Cold

"BUN NY"

One OF the. most important of the
Americans artists Is the creator Of
Foxy Grandpa" who signs himself
Bunny" but privately bears the name
OF Carl L. Schultz. None Of the ccomic
men look like what they are, but Mr..
Schultz looks less like his business
than any other OF the profession.
Give him long black bag. and he
would be taken for busy physician
hurrying to a case. lie is a big. broad
six-footer; and I think he Is the best
looking OF all the craft.
Schultz was born In this country. but
educated in Germany, where he pick
ed up drawing. Returning In 1887, he
began to draw for Jud e in Howarth's
style: and not until 1900 did he begin
his famous Foxy Grandpa" series.
Che day he turned up at the Herald
office with some drawings which de-
picted two boys playing prInks on
their jolly old grandfather. Now, a
comic seres may be good In itself. but
II must also have a taking name Mr..
Rudolph Lewis. then In charge OF the
Sunday Herald supplement. was the
sponsor for Mr.. Schultz's pictures.
For some time all OF Mr. Schultz 4
pictures have been signed with lit.
tie rahbit-a bunny. The signature
generally is part OF the picture;
that is bunny laughs or weeps. runs
or dances, as the key note OF the pic
ture suggests. The signature Is a case
Of lucus a non lucendo. When asked
to put a signature to his drawings
Mr.. Schultz thought a moment I'll
put my name on" he reflected. ''peo
pie will say Huh. a picture by bis
Dutchman!' So I'll go to the othel
extreme and use little name.
Hence the Bunny" signature. and the
Bunny" as a trademark. ...
Bunny" Foxy" or Grandpa
Schultz-he answers to any or all o
these names-is the soul OF good ma
