dous work and influence for temper

for rum from his father, who was
so opposed to intoxicants that, at a
time when to be a teetotaler was to
be "unpatriotic, he cleaned his cell
lars OF liquor and poured 1t into a
neighboring pond. The elder baro-
net also had strong ideas on educa-
tional matters and refused to send
his children to school.
In 1859 he identified himself with
the prohibition element. On a bill
relating to the customs and inland
revenue he declared that the chan
cellor of the exchequer could not
do greater injury to the working
classes than by facilitating the sale
of intoxicating drinks, and thereby
promoting disorder and immortality"
Two years later he introduced the
so-called permissive bill, which pro-

National Waterways.

The national rivers and harbors
congress has been quietly engaged in
taking a poll OF the national congress
with regard to rivers and harbors
Improvement by the federal govern
ment. The result is surprising
Practically every member of both
houses acknowledged his interest in
the work. and his belief that a more
liberal appropriation for the develop
ment OF the navigable waterways
was necessary for an equalization OF
freight rates and for taking care of
the growing internal commerce of
the country. The concensus' of opin-
ion, il was found, is that a greater
general interest is all that Is needed
to spur congress to action. When
the people of the coasts and great
valleys begin to bring pressure to
bear on their representatives in the
national legislature, the response
will be prompt and surprising. Sem
ator Teller, of Colorado, whose state
has no streams that can be made
navigable, declared In recent
speech that despite this fact Colo
RADIO would be vastly benefited by an
extended development OF the inland
waters. This attitude is a hopeful
sign. for a few years back senator's
and representatives from states re-
mote from the coast or the larger
streams declined to lend an ear to
any legislation seeking appropria-
tons from rivers and harbors bet
terment The work has taken on a
national importance. 1t is conceded
now that the benefits, instead of
being local. will be widespread when
the streams of the country are made
capable of supporting traffic. 1t
will permit of short rail hauls and
long carriages by low-frelght-rate
water routes. And this condition in
no wise viii lnjuye the railroads, for
the stimulation to commerce will be
so great that the tonnage will be
doubled and trebled.

Heat Squad Employed TO Relieve Men
Overcome While Working Over
the Hot Composition.

The "heat squad Is the latest In
auguration OF the corporations TO
facilitate work, and II Is being used
in the reconstruction of Kentucky
avenue by the Southern Bitulithic
company. Because Of the intense heat
an extra squad OF from 10 to 20 men
is kept on hand to relieve those who
become tagged out before the day Is
done. The heat is so intense that II
is impossible TO work the full force
all day. From ten to twenty drop
out, singly, in twos and in threes.un-
I'll the force Is reduced TO small fig
ure. BY the addition OF the heat
squad" the company Is enabled to
proceed with the work without de-
lay.
The strike inaugurated last week
by the laborers is a thing OF the
past. The company yesterday after
noon had a full force. and the entire
block from Fourth TO Fifth street was
filled In with concrete.

Members of the board of ordnance
and fertilization of the war depart
ment are highly pleased over the
successful tests made with the new
explosive, dunnite. The. tests were
made at the Sandy Hook proving
ground, and torpedo charged with
150t pounds of the new destructive
agent was launched against a steel
caisson weighing 105 tons and rep
resenting the bottom of a powerful
battleship. When the torpedo struck
there was a hollow detonation, a
huge column of water was thrown
high in the air and the big steel tub
crumbled like paper and sank.
Major Beverly W. Dunn. the in
ventor OF the new explosive, is being
congratulated by his friends. Two
weeks ago Naval Constructor Baxter
predicted that II "dunnite" proved
itself TO be what its inventor claimed
1t would revolutionize the construc-
ton of ships OF war. tbs believed
now that the battleship of the flu
ture will have to be built with three
walls instead of two.
