r%ROM the days of his debates
IL with Stephen A. Douglas, fifty

W. Rum the Gays OF MS deDdteS
fl with Stephen A. Douglas, fifty
n years ago. until this hour
Abraham Lincoln has been
growing in the estimation of his
country and Of the world. 1t was
that forensic battle which first
brought him into national prominence.
Never since then has he been out of
/ the public eyp, which has scrutinized
him as 1t has scrutinized few other
characters in history. In even it's
minutest details his strange, sad, but
triumphant life has stood the ordeal
of the worlds critical Judgment, the
acid &est that destroys so many repu-
tations and that separates the false
from the true. This merciless process
diminishes most men. 1t has ex-
banded Lincoln. Out of the investiga-
ton has emerged the figure of Man,
a gigantic figure made Of fundamental
stuff. Gnarled, homely and almost
grotesque upon the surface, he is
seen to have been loving, patient,
clean and beautiful within, one of
those utterly true souls that give us
some measure Of what man is to be at
his best.
Today the name of Abraham Lin
coin Is the only one adjudged worthy
to stand beside that of George Wash
ington. There are scores of Ameri-
can immortals, great In war, states
manship, literature, science, invention
and art, but Of them all there is none
of sufficient stature to measure with
these two. 1t will be great and
crucial hour In the republic when the
third figure energies, If it ever does.
The marvellous growth of Lincoln's
fame Is shown by the universal prepa-
rations to celebrate the centenary of
his birth. This will occur on Feb. IL,
and already plans are completed for
the dedication of memorial building
at the birthplace farm In Kentucky, at
which President Roosevelt intends to
make the greatest speech of his life:
for exercises in Springfield, including
the reading of famous Lincoln utter
ances at certain hour and the con-
current reading of these same utter
ances by people In distant cities all
facing toward the tomb, and for elab-
crate ceremonies In New York, Wash
ington and throughout the earth. More
over, a movement is now going for
ward In the nations capital to erect
there shrine to lincoln which In dig
nifty and impressiveness viii be a com
panion piece to the Washington monu-
ment. The form which this shrine is
to take has not yet been fully deter
mined. 1t would be fitting If the plans
could be adopted and given to the
world while the centenary Is in prog
ress. It is a burning shame that there
Is not some adequate memorial Of the
martyr president In the city In which
his great acts were performed and In
which his tragic death occurred. Low
ers Of Lincoln everywhere should urge
their congressman to bring this matter
to head and to see that the definite
announcement Is not deferred later

coins birth was in Hardin county. As
a village it was not born great, did not
achieve greatness, but had greatness
thrust upon it.
Great Memorial In Washington.
Originally it was intended to build
at the birthplace farm a much larger
and more pretentious structure than
that finally decided upon. The reason
for the change was twofold-- first,
Hodgenville is rather inaccessible and
out Of the line of travel; second, it Is
now practically assured that a great
Lincoln memorial will be erected in
Washington, in which all the procura-
BILE Lincoln relics will be housed. When
the more ambitious project was con-
templated President Roosevelt suggest
ed that the farm edifice should be
known as a temple Of civic righteous
ness. : 1t is hardly probable that the
structure to be erected In the national
capital viii be called by SO pretentious
a name, as 1t Is not certain that Wash
ingtonians would know what 1t means.
Besides, civic righteousness is hardly
in harmony with the washington at
mosphere, where the congressional
pork barrel flourishes and legislative
log rolling Is the chief industry.
The tentative plans for a national
monument to the martyr president took
many forms. One was for bridge
over the Potomac, another included a
great road running from Washington
to Gettysburg, and third consisted of
open columns at one Of the entrances
to the capitol grounds, with tablets
carrying the most famous of Lincoin's
utterances. More common sense coun.
sells ara now prevailing, however, and
these are for memorial building and
museum which shall be as simple,
classic, strong and enduring as Lin
coins own fame.

NONMACNETIC YACHT.
Carnegie Institute Orders Unique
Craft For Ocean Survey Use.
NO STEEL OR IRON ABOARD

Vessel to Be Named Carnegie Viii
Have Engines and Machinery to Be
Constructed Chiefly Of Bronze-Pow-
err Will Be Supplied by Gas Engines.
The Carnegie institute of Washing
ton recently awarded contract to q
| Brooklyn firm for the construction Of
what will be in many respects unique
vessel The department Of terrestrial
magnetism of the institute has author
lied Wallace Downey, the builder o.
| the yacht Meteor for the German EN-
peror, to construct yacht to be used
in making magnetic surveys. With per
haps one possible exception, there will
not be a scrap of steel or iron in the
craft, although it win be provided with
an engine, machinery and all other
equipment of modern vessel Mr.
Downey's company in Brooklyn will
build the vessel.
The yacht contracted for is to be call
ed the Carnegie and will be employed
in making ocean surveys. All the ex-
listing sea charts and indicated routes
of ocean travel are more or less mac
curate, due to magnetic variations
caused by the influence of steel on
board ships. In order to correct these
errors and obtain surveys of absolute
accuracy the Carnegie institute decid-
ed to construct nonmagnetic vessel.
The vessel will be 1856 feet long, 33
feet beam and IL feet draft and
barkentine rugged. 1t will cost APP
proximately $125,000 1t will be pri-
marily a sailing vessel, but win be
equipped with auxiliary power to
give speed of six miles an hour.
This power viii be supplied by gas
engines.
The propelling engines, machinery
and other parts Of metal on the craft
will be chiefly bronze. Manganese
metal and gun metal will also be EN-
ployed Every bolt, nail, bar and
brace in the vessel viii be of this ma
terial, which is nonmagnetic. The
Carnegie will carry a plant for max
ing gas from coal, and all this machin-
cry will be of bronze, as well as the
uACuOAC.
There is some doubt as to whether
the crank shaft In the engine can
be constructed of this metal If 1t
should turn out that this piece must
be Of steel 1t win be the only scrap of
this metal employed ON the entire
vessel. There win be absolutely moth
ing else about the craft to exercise the
slightest magnetic influence on the
compasses and other scientific instru-
ments employed In making the sur
veys. This feature will double what
would have been the cost of the
vessel IL 1t were to be built with the
usual materials.
The first voyage Of the Carnegie Will
be to the north, visiting Hudson bay
and Greenland. It's second cruise
viii be to the south seas. 1t is ex-
pected that as result Of the charts
made from the surveys of the non
magnetic vessel new sailing routes
win be plotted which win materially
reduce the time required to steam to
Liverpool and other European ports.
The Carnegie Is to be delivered by
July 1. 1909.

NO WATER IN FORTY YEARS.
Illinois Woman Says Drinking 1t Is a
Habit She's Missed Entirely.

Etaptt one MtSS0Q 6ultTctys
Water drinking is just habit like
gum chewing or, for the matter of
that, tobacco chewing, according to
the view Of Mrs. Mary Craig, who
lives near Piasa Greek Crossing, twelve
miles north Of Alton, ILL.,
Mrs. Craig had the habit when she
was younger, but she got over it and
for forty years has not tasted water.
Not that she considers herself entitled
to any considerable credit for her abb
stemiousness. On the contrary, she is
free to confess that doing without
water is as much a habit as using it.
II just got into the habit of not
drinking water" she said, "and, like
most habits, I have not been able to
throw it off. While leave 1t alone
as matter of habit, others use it as
matter Of habit. 1t is just as hard
for me to break my habit and drink
as 1t would be for others to break
their habit and quit drinking it. Some
times ! feel would like to take q
drink of water, but as l have not
tasted any for forty years / know it
would make me sick"
