CANAL TYPE is SETTLED.
Last Obstacle Removed From Path
of Great Waterway.

Washington, D. c., June PA
lock canal and not q sea level canal
will be constructed by the United
states across the Isthmus of Pan
ANA. The type was definitely settled
when the Senate by a vote of 36 to
81 declared in favor of the lock plan.
Prior to the final decision, the SEN
ate apparently leaned toward the sea
level type, while the House preferred
the lock type. The President, his
Cabinet officers, Speaker Cannon and
the House leaders and other promi-
nent men at first were inclined TO
favor the sea-level type. These all
changed their views. Senators were
converted by the influence of the Ad-
ministration and by the testimony
given by experts before the Commit
tee on lnteroceanic Canals.
The passage of a sea-level bill by
the Senate would not have affected
the canal. The House would have re-
Jected the bill. Under the Spooner
act the President is empowered to
determine the type of canal, and he
would have continued work accord
ing to the lock plan. The action of
the Senate merely confirms the judg-
1nent Of the President. It probably
settles forever the question of type,
as work will soon be so far advanced
that a change cannot be made with
out great expense and delay.

Airships ST. 900 Apiece Promised.

Philadelphia Pa, June 2G.-Air-
ships will soon be as cheap as auto
mobiles, or even cheaper, if Auriel
Bratchie, of this city, is right in his
calculations. He has just patented a
dirigible airship that represents his
ideas, and expects to be able to mar
ket similar ones for $1,000 each.
He has a small working model,
which, with a two horse power mo-
tor. can lift 100 pounds. He will
equip his full-siZed machine with a
ten horse power motor and expects
it to have a lifting power sufficient
to sustain 500 pounds of dead weight
in the air, in addition to the machine,
which will weigh about 900 pounds.
No gas bags are used Rratchie
depends entirely upon mechanical
means to lift and guide his airship.
The motive power consists of two
huge propellers. The driving motor
IS directly beneath them and under
the aeroplanes hangs a slightly built
metal cage, like a small oil derrick,
in which the operator sits.

Big Sturgeon seizes a Boys Leg.

Pittsburg Pa, June ga gigan-
tic sturgeon created a panic among a
crowd of boys who were swimming in
the Allegheny River, and nearly
drowned one of them.
When the fish came among the
boys they shrieked and swan for the
landing. The fish tried to head them
off, but all reached the float in safety
except William Widerseim, a ten
year-old lad. Before he could get
out of the water the fish grabbed him
by the right leg and was dragging
him to the bottom when Jacob Mil
ler the watchman of the coal float,
attracted by the cries of the boy, ran
to the spot and pulled him aboard.
The fish clung on until it was
dragged half way out of the water
Miller seized a baseball bat lying on
the float and beat the fish over the
head until it was dead. 1t was only
after life was extinct that it's big
teeth could be extracted from the
boys leg.
The fish measured almost six feet
and weighed eighty-nine pounds.
