1t is current report that the dues
through the Suez canal will be $780,
900. ~
The Dewey was built at the plant
OF the Maryland Steel company, in a
great excavation near the water
front, just outside of Baltimore. When
it was completed bulkhead that
separated the Patapsco from the hole
in the ground was cut away and the
water ran IN and foated the huge
mass Of steel, while Miss Maud En-
dicott, daughter of Rear Admiral En-
dicott, christened the dock the Dewey
with a bottle of champagne
The dock was not only completed
ahead of contract. time, but in excess
of the requirements, for it will lift a
10000 ton battle ship, whereas the
contract called for only 10000 tons
It also exceeded the speed require
ments in lifting ship.
When the big cruiser Colorado was
placed in the dock to test it in the Pa
tuxent river the contract called for
the lifting in four hours The Colo
RADIO was lifted until her keel was six
feet above the water in few min
utes more than two hours. Then the
dock broke all records by lifting the.
battle ship Iowa. of 10000 TONS. with
heavy weights in her turrets amid
ships, in one hour, and thirty-seven
minutes.
The Algiers dock, also built by the
Maryland Steel company, will lift H.
500 tons and is the second largest
af1oat. The other big docks of the
world are the Bermuda dock, built in
England, 545 feet long and 100 feet
wide, lifting only 10000 tons; the
Pola dock, owned by the Australian
government, 460 feet long, with a ca
pacity of $4,000 tons, and the Stet-
tin dock, owned by Germany, $40 feet
long and lifting 1900 tons.
A novel feature of the dock is it's
ability to dock itself. All steel yes
sells take on marine growth on their
bottoms, which necessitates hauling
them out every year or SO, as their
life depends on receiving paint to pro-
tect the hulls. Docks now afloat are
so gigantic that they cannot be dock
ed to be cleaned or repaired, with
the exception of the Dewey.
The Dewey can release the two
side walls and disconnect the three
pontoons that are joined together in
the flooring or hull. Then the two
smaller pontoons are filed with wa
ter and sunk under the larger or cen
tre pontoon. They are then pumped
out, and the two smaller steel pom
toons rise with the larger one on top
of them.
When it is desired to dock. the
smaller pontoons the conditions are
reversed. The big centre pontoon is
sunk and the two smaller ones placed

WEAPONS OF THE OCTVPV.S

Both the octopus and the cuttlefsh
have arms that are clothed with, a
formidable array Of suckers which are
wonderful pieces of mechanism. When
the sucker comes into contact with an
object, the central piston, having pre-
viously been raised so as to completely
fill the cavity of the sucker, is at once
withdrawn and perfect vacuum pro-
duced explaining the great tenacity
with which the suckers cling. They
number upward of 100 pairs to each
arm Of the octopus, and once they
obtain grip on the victim, unless the
arm is actually torn away from the
body of the octopus it is practically
impossible for its prey to disentangle
itself.
In addition to these suckers the oc-
topus has a powerful pair of jaws,
shaped like the beak of parrot, be-
hind which is formidable armor- plat

Our Next Serial
Still Burning

Caney Kan, March 22.-
Three Intellectual attempts TO
extinguish the Vanderpool
gas well near here were made
today. The crane was repair
ed, and pending the arrival of
the third hood from Indepen.
dence, IL was decided To make
another effort with the hood
used in Mondays trial, which
had been removed without
damage. 1t WAS dropped over
the hole and the steam turned
on, but with the same result
rs on former occasions. The
force of the gas hurled the
earth from around the edges
of the hood and it was impos-
sible To control the flames.
The hood was lifted of with
the crane and some changes
made, after which another
trial was made. This was
done again, aud each attempt
was "a dismal failure. The
company is still determined
to put the fife out, but just
how this will be accomplished
representatives of the com
pany admit they don't know.

this has led to the suggestion
that the well might be extin-
