British Veterans Meet.

London.-"The remnant of that des
perate host" as Kipling described the
veterans of the Indian mutiny, gath
cred on Monday in Albert hall to the
number of more than 700 to commem-
crate the golden jubilee of the strug-
gle which ended in the Indian empire
being saved to Great Britain.
On the pension roll in the war Of
fees are the names of 1900 survivors
of the mutiny, to each of whom an in
vitatIon was sent for the reunion, but
old age prevented many from attend
ing. Those who could travel, includ-
ing officers and men, came from every
corner of the United Kingdom, and
with breasts covered with medals
they made a brave showing as they
drew up outside the hall to be re-
viewed by Lord Roberts.
The youngest among the veterans
was sixty-five years of age, he having
been drummer boy during the fight
ing, and even today he looked to be a
youngster as compared with his COM
panions, bowed with the weight of
years. The review was brief, as the
infirmities of the veterans prevented
them from standing long in line, SO,
headed by the field marshal, they
marched to Albert hall, the galleries
Of which were filed with cheering
crowds, and sat down to banquet.
Lord Roberts, who presided, read a
telegram from the King, who ex-
pressed the appreciation of the whole
empire for the services rendered by
the army Of which the veterans were
members.
Lord Curzon, chancellor OF Oxford
university, gave the toast, 1.-THE Sur
vivors of the Indian Mutiny," and
Lewis Waller, an actor, recited verses
and poetry written by Rudyard Kip
ling, of which the following Is one:
"Today across our fathers graves
The astonished years reveal
The remnant Of that desperate host
Which cleaned out East with Steel"

American Wheat to Odessa.

A big shipment Of wheat from New
York to Odessa, Russia, is an impor.
tant indicator as showing how the cur.
rent of trade Is sweeping in an unusual
direction and one that promises to
bring benefit to this country. Ordinar.
lily Odessa itself is a wheat-shipping
point, being one Of the ports to which
the Russian grain fields are contribu-
tory, and Europe has been accus.
toned to depend on that region for a
large portion of its food supplies. This
year the Russian crop has not been
sufficient to meet home demands, and
the export trade has fallen off accord
ingly. The people of that country are
buying instead Of selling foodstuffs,
and as Europe is always confronting a
shortage, the situation compels reli-
ance upon the new world, in which the
United States is the chief wheat pro.
ducer. Hence, remarks the Troy IN.
" Times, the increasing shipments
abroad, the effect of which in the ag-
gregate must be to strengthen materi.
ally our credit and to increase the
favorable balance of trade.

A REMARKABLE ENGINEERING
FEAT WILL OPEN DEEP
HARBOR.
WORK IS NEARLY DONE
SIX MILLION DOLLARS EXPENDED
IN COMPLETING THE
UNDERTAKING.

New Orleans.-One of the greatest
channel making undertakings in the
history of American river improve
ment will be brought nearly to COM
pletion this week when the jetties at
the mouth of the southwest pass Of
the Mississippi river are finished.
These jetties, after some dredging
between them is completed, will give
the South one of the deepest harbors
in the world by opening to the access
of the largest steamships afioat the
100 and 200-foot depths of the lower
Mississippi river.
The harbor thus made accessible has
navigable water connection with at
least dozen states bordering the Mis-
sissippi and it's tributaries, the Ohio,
Missouri, Arkansas and Red rivers.
About $6,O00,000 is being spent on
this improvement by the United States
government, which has the work in
charge. The new jetties were begun
four years ago. They are on larger
scale and more substantial than the
famous je.ties at the Mississippi's
south pass, an outlet which for over
thirty years has been the rivers COM
mercial entrance. They are nearly
parallel walls, one about three and the
half mile apart and built in the shoal
water at the juncture of the pass with
the Gulf of Mexico.
Their purpose is to confine and thus
accelerate the rivers current across
mud bar about three miles broad, SO
as to produce channel at least 1000
feet wide with minimum depth of
thirty.five feet. The swift current
which they have produced, aided by
dredging even before their completion,
has caused a tremendous scour apd
has already made fifty to eighty-fve
feet Of water in some places where
at the beginning Of the work the depth
was but little over a mans head. To
make the uniform contract depth,
there is still in several spots about ten
feet of mud to be removed. 1t is ex-
pected that the high water due within
a few weeks will sweep the remaining
mud deposits out to sea by the begin
ming of next summer.
Probably few walls ever have been
constructed under greater difficulties
than were these jetties. They are
made of willow, scantling, stone and
concrete. Although in some places
they are not six feet deep and al
though their greatest depth Is barely
fifteen feet, they have cost $1,000, 900.
Every material entering into their con-
struction has been brought from dis
tances Of 100 to 500 miles. The jet
ties have no foundation but rely for
stability upon their broad bases, being
from 100 to $50 feet wide at the bot
tom.
In contrast to this great width OF
base, the concrete Gaping which
forms the top of the jetties and which
is the work receiving its finishing
touches this week, is but few feet
wide.
The Gaping is a sea wall four and
half feet high and is the only por-
tion Of the jetties not submerged. The
wall weighs between two and three
tons per linear foot The submerged
structure supporting this mass of con-
crete is made almost entirely Of will.

Transformation in Lumber Industr

Transformation in Lumber Industry.
A few American citizens are still
living who were alive in the days when
the Indiana and Ohio pioneers were
cutting great clear-grained black wal
nut, white oak and hickory logs, piling
them and burning them to ashes in
order to be rid of them. Farmhouses
are still standing in the Ohio valley
whose tenoned frames are of black
walnut, and whose roof boards are OF
wide, clear lumber such as Is now
sought for to be made into kings table
tops. Black walnut lumber in Ameri-
can commerce is to-day little more
than a memory, says Milton o. Nelson
in the American Review Of Reviews;
white oak in the finer finishing grades
is worth half the price of mahogany,
and the American vehicle industry Is
in distress for the lack of hickory.
Even in sawmill cities of the present
day the lath from the walls of wrecked
houses Is carefully cleaned and bun
died for resale, while half-decayed pine
logs are sawed into merchantable lum.

American lumber industry has passed
from surfeit to hunger. Such another
span promises to carry us from hunger
to starvation.

The automobile may have its uses.
The Touring club of France, composed
of bicyclists and automobiles, has ta-
ken up the work of reforestry and got
1t under way on a broad and sound
basis. The theory was that the de-
struction Of forests lessened the pleas.
ure Of travel. Auxiliary societies have
been started everywhere, and by their
efforts tree culture is now taught In
the public schools. Prizes are given
both to teachers and to pupils for good
work in this line. The club has also
secured the passage of several laws
for the preservation of forests. This
is better than running over pedss.
