Whisky for five or six years, and get
more benefit from it used as a tonic

Duffy's Malt is the best for Body and

attention of the world Of business.
The Seoui.Wiju railroad was opened
for traffic on December l, last, The
japanese had constructed in thirteen
months $40 miles Of railroad, a feat of
which they are, with good reason, no
little proud. Immediately after the
beginning of the war with Russia, they
had begun the work on this line and il
is now practically completed. Yong
river Han, two miles from Seoul, TO the
southwest, is to be the future railroad
center Of Korea. Here 165 acres Of
land have been set aside as railroad
reservation, and the line for Wiiu and
the new road TO Gonsan, the principal
port on the east coast, start from this
point. The eoulFusan and the Seoul

my opinion is the greatest source of
seed deterioration. l answer without
hesitation, carlessness in selecting and
preparing seed. Farmers have largely
gotten the potency Of the second law
of breeding, that is, the law of varia
ton. They have overlooked the fact
that in generation without selection the
variants are oftener downward than
upward. Because of this the tendency
must be downward when the inferior
variants are not removed by a selee'
tion close and rigid. The tanning mill
properly used is the best.

Capacity Of Reservoirs.

II is interesting TO note the com
parative reservoir capacities While
the New Croton dam is the largest in
the world from the standpoint of its
amount Of masonry, the storage eapa'
city Of the reservoir formed by il is
by far the lowest of any of those above
mentioned. In fact, from a standpoint
of storage economy, the new Croton
reservoir is one Of the poorest that has
been constructed in recent years.
The dam contains $4,000 cubic yards
Of masonry and was erected at cost
of $780, 600 The capacity Of the
reservoir formed by it is 100000, ,0OC
cubic feet, or a cost Of $1,000 per nil
lion cubic feet of storage.
Similar figures for the Wachusett
dam show that it contains 2so,000 cubic
yards OF masonry, and was erected al
cost Of about $2,OOO,OOO. Its storage
capacity is s,4OO, ,O0O,O 900 cubic feet, OF
cost Of s23s per million cubic feet

One of the most surprising features
connected with the work of the recla-
nation service, as well as the one af-
fording highest qualification, is the cost
Of structures compared with those
which have become familiar with en-
gineers in the east.
When the reclamation work was iu-
augurated il was matter of con lecture
whether or not the standards of cost
for dams, canals, etc, that had been es>
tablished by engineering practice in the
eastern part of the country, could be
relied upon as basis of estimates of
the cost of the proposed western strue-
lures. As the work has progressed it
has become more and more evident that
many classes of engineering work in
the west can be performed considerably
cheaper than in the east, and at the
same time the natural conditions are
such that these structures are more
economical and effective.
COSJ OF Big Dams.
If we take, for example, the three
great masonry dams now being erected
for the purpose of storing water, viz,
the Roosevelt dam in Arizona, the
Pathfinder dam in southeastern Wyo-
ming, and the Shoshone dam in north
western Wyoming, we shall find that
the effective storage capacity and costs
are far below those Of some of the great
eastern dams like the New Croton in
New York, and the Wachusett in Mas.
sachusetts
The heights of these dams are as
follows; Roosevelt, $50 feet; Pathfnd.
er, 2l0 feet; Shoshone, 30S feet; New
Croton. 297 feet, and Wachusett, 207
feet. These heights are measured from
the foundation stones to parapet in
each cases, and they show that the Sho
shone is the highest, while the New
Croton is second and the Roosevelt
third
IT, however, the height above the
river bed be considered, that is, the
effective storage height, the New Gro
ton is the lowest The order is then al
follows: Shoshone, 240 feet; Roose
welt, 23O feet; Pathfinder, 200 feet
wachusett, 1s5 feet, and the New Gro
ton, 157 feet. In other words, abou
so per cent Of the masonry in the New
Crotun dam is below ground and j
serviceable for foundation purpose
only.

Western Dams Not Costly.

In contrast to these excessive costs
the three western dams appear remark
able. The Roosevelt dam, for example,
contains $4,000 cubic yards Of mason.
~ erected at a cost Of $3,s50.OO0. The
capacity Of the reservoir is 81 ,O0O, 600.
600 cubic feet, or Is times that Of the
New Croton, and about IA times that
Of the Waehusett. The cost Of this
dam per million cubic feet storage feet
is only s63.l6.
Even more remarkable appears the
Pathfinder dam. 1t contains $4,000 eu-
bic yards Of masonry, erected at a cost
Of 81 100000. The capacity Of the res
ervoir is 43.560,0 ,0oo, 900 cubic feet, or
more than 10 times that Of the Croton.
The cost Of the dam per million cubic
feet storage is therefore only s22.sj
as against $1,000 for the New Croton,
and s2ss for the Waehusett. Similar
figures for the Shoshone dam, the high
est in the world, are: Cubic yards Of
masonry, 69.OO0; cost, 100000; capa'
city Of reservoir, 100000 cubic fee!
or cost per million cubic feet storage
of s50.35.

These extremely low costs have sell
dom been equalled in the history Of res
ervOir construction, and are due largely
10 the excellent natural facilities which
are found In the rugged western eoun-
try. From this fact Il must not be in
ferred that western structures are sim

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9:-Great
impetus was given last night to the
project TO raising an immense sum
for mission and church extention
work in the Protestant Episcopal
church at a meeting of clergy and
laity of the church at the Academy
of Music. About $500 persons as
sembled in the big building to listen
to addresses of such prominent Epis-

Alexander Mackay-Smith, d. D.,
bishop coadjutor of Pennsylvania;
Rev. David H. Greer, D. D., bishop CO.
adjutor of Newk York: Rev. Charles
P. Anderson, D. D.; bishop of Chi
cago; George Wharton Pepper and
George C. Thomas. 1t is proposed to
raise 81. 000,0 900, to be known as the
Missionary Thank Offering Fund.
Mr.. Pepper urged the members of
the church in this city to cooperate
with their brethren elsewhere in rails
ing the fund as speedily as possible,
for presentation in Richmond, Va,
in 1907, at the celebration of the ter.
centennial anniversary of the found
