The Romantic Thames.

From the London Magazine.
Among the great commercial streams OF
these islands the Thames is the only one
open to romantic feeling, from the fact that
the sight of human labor and the sounds of
human industry do not come down its
shores to the very sea, destroying the sug-
gestion of mysterious vastness caused by
the con1guration of the shore.

designed as a means of getting the
very highest engineering ability in the
world to give it's judgment on that one
fundamental problem in the great
work in hand. 1t was generally ac-
cepted that either a lock canal or a
sea level canal was feasible. Engineer
ing science and modern appliances
could undoubtedly construct either
type, it was held. But Engineering
Science could also determine, in the
light of all conditions, physical, me-
chanical and economic, which would be
the better. The Commission of Con-
sulting engineers was designed to give
the country the benefit of the best en-
cheering advice attainable, unbiased
by those intimate considerations of
politics, public opinion or competing
interests which might influence both
the Commission and the constructing
engineers, no matter how earnest they
were, and that without rejecting in the
least on their ability or integrity. The
object was to get a judicial considera-
ton of that phase of the problem.
The Commission of consulting engi-
neers or a majority of it, gave judg-
ment in favor of a sea level canal. The
Canal Commission and the Chief En-
gineer, it is said, have advised a lock
canal No doubt the President and
Secretary Taft will be severely criti-
cised 1t will be said that the Canal
Commission and the Chief Engineer
are but the creatures of the President
or those who influence his opinion, and
the summary way in which the old
commission was wiped out and the
new one created, and the abruptness
with which Chief Engineer Wallace
was decapitated, will give color to this
charge. On these premises, the con-
clusion can be logically framed that
the President and Secretary Taft are
simply setting up their judgment
against that of the skilled members of
the Consulting Engineers.
1t is very probable that both the
Secretary and the President have been
Influenced by the time required to con-
struct the lock type as /compared with
the sea level type. There IS tremen-
dous pressure in public opinion for a
speedy construction OF the canal. 1t
is not to be wondered at that this tre-

WANT MATERIAL
FOR QUARANTINE
BUT LIEUT., SLATTERY THINKS
THAT EVEN $4,000 is TOO MUCH
FOR THE EARTH.

'"While l have no definite informa-
ton on the subject, do not think that
there is any particular mystery about
the bills introduced to appropriate $685.
900 for filling in Quarantine island"
said Lieut. Slattery of the U. S. En-
gineering Corps this morning. "The
contractors, the San Francisco Bridge
Company have disposed of about all the
material they can to private parties
and others and now have considerable
of which they want to rid themselves.
They could not pump it to the Qua
rantine islands unless they got some
thing for it to defray the extra cost for
that would mean pumping about half a
mile further If they do not get any
thing they could dispose of it cheaper
by taking it to the reef and protecting
it with bulkheads.
The filling is needed at Quarantine
Island, but the Treasury Department is
right when it says that $4,000 is too
much and suggests $4,000. Even this
latter sum is too much but the con-
tractors might be given $4,000 for the
work and the extra $4,000 kept for con-
tingencies such as building bulkheads.
That arrangement would be about
fair"

MYSTERY OF LOST
BUOY is SOLVED
HAD BEEN THROWN OVERHEARD
FROM ITALIAN SHIP TO SAVE
LIFE OF A SAILOR IN 1904

The mystery of the life buoy of the
Italian ship S. Celeste of Castlemarre
found on the island of Lanai some
months ago by Charles Gay, has at last
been solved. U. S. Shipping Commits
sioner Norman Watkins has been ad-
Vlsed regarding the matter
After the discovery of the buoy Com
missioner Watkins wrote to u. S. Con-
sular representative Crowninshield at
Castlemarre, Italy, acquainting him
with the finding of the buoy. BY the
mail this week the Commissioner re-
ceived advices from Crowninshield. 1t
appear $. that the buoy was lost in Sep
TENDER of 1904. At that time the Ce-
leste was en- route from Chilli to Port
land, Oregon. "A man was lost over
board and three buOys were thrown to
him; he caught one of the buoys and
was saved. The vessel did not stop to
pick up the other buoys. THE vessel
was in the vicinity of the Hawaiian
Islands at the time of the rescue and
the buoy that finally brought up at
Lanai was evidently one of the missing
buoys.
