C.aI Under Water.

Some years ago a fleet of British col
Tiers was sunk during a storm in an
English harbor and remained under
water for five years before being
salved and brought to the surface. says
the Scientific American. An examine
ton of the coal showed that it had
kept it's value for steam purposes, and
this led to some experiments by the
naval authorities which settled beyond
all doubt that coal stored under water
did not deteriorate as when stored in
the air. Taking heed Of this conserv-
ing power Of water. the Western Elec-
trio company is building flooded coal
pits at its Plant at Hawthorne. III. The
excavation is 800 b. 10 feet and - feet
deep. built OF concrete and divided into
twelve pits. The coal is dropped d.
rectly from the cars. which pass over
the pits. and the fncl is removed when
desired by means OF u steam shovel.

To Build Artificial Island.

The war department has determined
upon plans for the building of an arti-
fetal island at the entrance to Chesa-
peake bay. This island will be built up
from a submerged ledge and will be
made sufficiently large to contain. be-
sides a battery to command the ap-
proach to the bays entrance. quarters
and barracks for men and a parade
ground for drill, together with suita-
bic ~storehouscs for provisions and am

programme is the construction Of an
artificial harbor to accommodate the
supply of boats and submarines, the
latter to form an adjunct Of the coast
defense system.-Harper's Weekly.

the q%uartzite quarries at Cherbourg
and is said to have displaced 100000
tons of stone. A tunnel measuring six
feet wide and six feet high was driven
into the face of the cliff for a distance
of seventy feet, and at it's end two
branch tunnels, each twenty feet long,
were driven to the right and left re-
spectively. These branches ended in
chambers forty feet apart and seventy
feet fire. he face of the cliff and
measure sch 10 feet by 6 feet by 6
feet. The liambers were charged With
eight and a half tons of blasting pow
der and $50 pounds of dynamite, and
the blast was fired electrically. The
%quartzite obtained from this quarry
finds much favor in England as a road
material.-Engineer. q.

Remarkable Gain In Strength 40 Dry

The effect OF water In softening or

paper or a sponge, is well known, and
20 Is the stiffening effect of drying.
The same law applies to wood. By
different methods of seasoning to
pieces Of the same stick may be given
very different degrees of strength.
Wood in Its green state contains
moisture In the pores of the cells, like
honey in n comb, and also in the sub
stance of the cell walls. AS seasoning
begins the moisture in the pores is first
%evaporated. This lessons the weight of
the wood. but does not affect its
strength. 1t Is not until the moisture

THE EIGHTH WONDER.
Hudson River Bridge to Be an Ex-
traordinarY Structure.

The magnitude of the projected Hud
son river bridge does not at first strike
the unthinking person. but when ii
does strike ii comes with q GREATNESS.
aerial significance. 1t will be tho
eighth wonder of the world. and the
eyes of foreign engineers are turned to
New York with expectancy.
The plans of the new structure are
practically those of~the original Nortl,
river project. 1t Was Il long step FROM,
a LOO foot span Chen and still the
longest in tho world, to over 5000 feet.
the distance to be covered between the
piers oil either side of the broad Hud
son. To make a bridge almost double
the length of the Brooklyn bridge
meant building the towers nearly twice
as high, and In order to allow for addi-
tional roadw lys and tracks the bsidge
of double length must lie also twice as
wide. Thus the proposition involved
was really very much more than, build
ing a bridge with a double length span.
for three dimensions had to be cou-
sidered, making the entire structure
4cdily elSNL lllucS DIS large as the
Brooklyn bridge.
AT first other engineers were loatn
to believe tbat modern materials made
possible so great a bridge. But the en-
tire profession is now agreed that the
bridge is possible and practicable. and
their estimates of construction cost
vary between $335,OOO,OCO and S5O,oO0,-
600, depending upon the number of
tracks and the carrying capacity desig-
mated. These figures do not include the
cost of approaches or right of way.
1t is an astonishing feat that is con-
templated. this of ~suspending between
steel towers distant more than half e
mile eight great railway tracks and
four drivewnys. says Charles III. Coch-
rane in the New Broadway Magazine.
AS a triumph of engineering the work
will have no equal. There will be four
stupendous towers at the piers. each
suggesting In appearance the celebrat-
ed Eiffel tower. These four towers
will be about 800 feet from the foun-
dation stones to top. They will carry
the eight mammoth steel cables that
VIII curve gracefully across the noble
Hudson and support the two deck steel
truss bridge 40 feet wide. capable of
transporting 100000 persons in one
hour without undue crowding.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Jnceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about
500 grains of impure matter daily,
when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many disease and
symptoms-pain in the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, govt, gravel, disorders
of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility, drows-
mess, dropsy, deposits in the unrine,
etc. But if you keep the filters right
you will have no trouble with your
kidneys.
Paul stowell, living at 4O6, e.
Seventh street, Mitchell, S. D., says:
81 think that my kidney trouble came
on back in the early sixties while
serving in the army. 1 often suffer-
ed very severely with this complaint.
The first symptoms of the disease,
was a dull ache in my back, directly
over the kidney regions, after which
L soon became stiff and sore. My
limbs gradually grew sc weak, that
I could hardly do my work and at
such times 1 had to have assistance
to put on my shoes. 1 also suffered
from dizzy spells, my kidneys were
d%isordered and my health vas grad
ually becoming undermined. Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my
attention, and I procured a box at
Diehl & Browns Drug Store. Their
use soon banished the trouble, and 1
have regained my old time strength.
| am now feeling fine and am glad
to state that Doan's Kidney Pills
brought about this change in my
condition."

a man from the business hat has been

This afternoon he closed a contract
with the company for the management
Of the plant, and will proceed to put
it into operation. He was able to point
out some of the defects that the COM

AN OFFICIAL VISIT
BY GRAND MASTER.

OF 1nVINS .Ts
At a joint meeting last night of Lar
annie and Albany lodges, Odd Fellows,
at the Odd Fellows hall, the lodges
had an official visit from the grand
master, Hon. j. F. Pierce Of Rock
Springs, who delivered an address of
interest to members of the order. Fol-
lowing the address, there was a ban
quet and social session, with a general
good time. Mr.. Pierce was asked to
remain over until tonight for the meet
ing of Albany lodge, but at the time of
the close of the joint session he was
unable to say definitely whether he
could or not. All the members last
night regretted the fact that Grand
Secretary Louis Miller of this city was
too i'll to be present, being sent to his
bed by his physician, but a loving mes
sage was SEN to him and cheering
words were received from the officers
and members of the two lodges.
