EXTENDING RIVER BANK
Dumping Hundreds Of Carloads
Of Dirt.
WORK ON THE new DRY DOCK
Site For Steel TrestIe Has Been
"Made" With Earth Taken From
Basin and Now Bluff is Being
FilIed-in.

Having made the desiredE expanse
of new land on the extreme north
side of the shipyard from the dirt
taken out Of the new dry dock un-
der course Of construction at the yard
the dirt now being excayatcd from
the basin is being dumped alons:
the bank of James river between tn.
fence surrounding the shipyard on
the north side and Forty.eighth
street
a short time ago, as soon as the
new land" in the yard was complet-
ed, n force of men extended tho
track used In hauling the dirt from
the new dry dock to the north side OF
the yard, along the river bank as
far as The foot of Forty-eightl street
and since that time all the dirt
taken out OF the basin has been
dumped along the river bank.
Already several hundred car loads
of dirt have been used In building
out the river bank and in short
time the track will be extended to
the foot of Fiftieth street and the
dirt yet to be excavated from the
basin will be dumped along. the bank
between that point and the shipyard
fence.
Nearly all of the soil now being
excavated from the new dry dock Is
blue mud" and it is believed that
this soil dumped along the edge OF
the bank will have tendency to
prevent the wearing away" of the
bank by the river, which has been
occurring just beyond the shipyard
for many years.
Work on dry dock No. 5, is pro.
crossing rapidly and it is said that
over half of the required amount OF
dirt has been taken out of the basin.

ConI Saving Engine.

A new type Of engine. known as tho
monkey motion" pattern. which. 1t Is
said, will revolutionize steam locomo
tlon on railroads, has been successfully
operated on the Southern Pacific. a
train of $500 tons was hauled from
Ogden to Wadsworth. New. by one of
the new engines. All the driving mech.
anism Is on the sides. making 1t easy OF
access. The steam exhausts very rap
Idly and there Is no back pressure. II
is estimated that the new engine will
save from % TO 40 per cent In coal con-
sumption, being able to run fifty-four
miles with one ton of coal as against
twenty-five to twenty-eight miles under
the present system.

stroppins q Razor.

-che idea that razor needs freQuens
grinding or honing Is not In keeping
with my experience" said man who
shaves himself. II have a razor that
got ten years ago which has never been
aut Of my possession, never had any
,ther treatment than stropping, aud IL
today the sharpest and best Of six. A
razor can only be kept in this condition
without honing, however, by using
bard strop-that is. one which, is rigid
instead Of flexible and not the kind
that makes an arc of a circle when you
use 1t. This latter sort will sharpen q
razor for awhile, but 1t also makes the
edge round until at last 1t ceases to cut.
Why do have six razors2 Well, that
Is to use them in regular turn and give
each one Of them rest. shave every
day, which find the least troublesome
method. and IL use the same blade
every day 1t would soon play out. The
edge Of razor needs rest, Just like
every other machine"

Thanks For Food.

A pretty table observance in Danish
families Is for children, even little ones
who can scarcely toddIe, to go gravely
inter dinner to salute their parents and
shy, 'Tak for mad" C'Thanks for the
meap). Even visitors shake hands with
their host and hostess and go through
the same formality. In German fami-
lies that hold to tradition the same GUS
tom prevails. When the evening meal
is ended the party stand up around the
table and each shakes hands with the
neighbor, saying "Gesegnete Mahlzeit'
blessing the food.
