Giant Dredge at Liverpool

1t Is claimed by leading English ex-
perts that the dredging since 1890 OF
the river Mersey and its approaches
has been one of the most continuously
successful undertakings of that char
acter in the history Of marine engi-
neering. AS the port OF Liverpool is
used by vessels of the deepest draft 1t
channels at the bar and the approaches
to the docks and the landing stage
where the ocean liners embark and
disembark their passengers should be
kept not only free but that sufficient
depth of water should be maintained at
all stages of the tide. The Mersey
docks and harbor board, for the pur-
pose OF overcoming the sand accumu-
lation. in 1890 Instituted suction dredg-
ing, which has been SO satisfactory that
the board has since then largely in
creased the size and powers of their
dredgers. and recently has given an
order for the construction of a dredger
which Will be the largest and most
powerful ever built. The contract pro-
vides for a vessel which can lift 10000
tons of sand in so minutes and attain
a speed, II necessary, OF 10 knots. The
dimensions of the dredger will be as
follows: Length. Ats feet over all. SO
feet beam and 80 feet inches In
nodded depth.
The dredger Is now nearing compile
ton and when finished will have hop
per capacity OF 10000 cubic feet,
which Is to be filled from q maximum
depth OF 10 feet within 50 minutes, and
as the total load displacement WIN be
about $4,000 tons, exceptional strength
will be a prominent feature Of the hull
and jointing Of the dredger and the
she'll plates will be thres-1uarters OF
an inch thick, 2e feet long. each weigh
ing 2% tons, and the butts will be
quaduple rfveted. The dredger will
have four centrifugal pumps. each OF
which VIII be driven by an independ-
ent engine. and when driven they will
together lift the great quantity OF sand
mentioned.

ADJUSTMENTS

Do you know the production of
 company is just now very oppOrtune?
 General Kuroptakin of the Russian army is to have a series of articles in
 McClure's Magazine that will give us a pretty good idea of how things are done in the land of the cZar. These will be edited by George Kennan, an authority on such matters. The Bur
 gess company is right up to the min
 ute. Grattan Donnelly's play that they
 presented last night is a vivid picture
 of Russian social life and the exile
 system. How the members of the Burgess company managed to twist the various skys and moffs around their tongues is a miracle, but they did and well, and the Russian drama received splendid presentation. Miss Ander-
 son as Ida Barosky was a splendid fig ure and fairly lived the character. MT. Cornell made a dashing and pictur- esque young soldier. and MT. Iiller in
 the strong role of the minister of po- lice was splendid. MT Percival gave
 a splendid portrayal of Count Nazim- off There was a bewitching widow played by Miss Bronridge and Miss Rothe made the most of the small role of olga. Miss Grantley in the famous part of the Countess acquitted herself
 admirably, and Cobb, the American, was in the hands of Louis Lytton.

Camp Brodie, July 2s.-(Special Cor respendence of The Republican.)- JupiterPluvius. You certainly did your duty by the rifle range today. It was nearly II o'clock in the forenoon when we sighted the red signal flags and heard the pop pop which warned careless visitors to keep out of range. Nancy Hanks sister Sadie had taken US out from Prescott with Mir. Walter Hill handling the ribbons She was maid of peace and threatened to make pieces of us if we did not steer clear of the guns. Your correspondent forsook the buggy at the firing line as the most interesting point of observa- tion. The men were trying out on the 1000 yard range. We watched about half a dozen shots. which could be heard whizzing all the way from the muzzle to target. Then it began to come down, well seasoned with light ming and thunder, in drops about like birds eggs. When everybody from the colonel to visitors were onythe run for the tents some one pulled out the headgeate of the Grand canal and there was no respect for persons down below Great and small, they got it all. Riv- CTS ran in the dry places. The cooks tent became an irrigation ditch and the camp a miniature Salt river In fifteen minutes the water was coming down from the upper targets from four to five feet deep in places. In short we were having the benefit of a cloudburst. The men in the target house were drowned out as the water filled the ditch. came into the windows and rose to a height of nine feet. leav- ing drift upon the roof of the building.

A Novel Handmade Apron.

the home needleworker who Is fond of dainty things will ind the little apron a very desirable possession. It Is quite pret- ty enough, too. to serve as gift. and if we use our leisure in the Idle summer days to prepare Christmas gifts one or two of these little articles should find a place on the list. The edge of the apron (which may be made of sheer linen, fine lawn or dimity) is scalloped. and the oddly shaped pocket is also finished with hand-embroid- cred scallops and eyelet holes. These eye lets in the pocket should be worked through the apron. catching both layers of material-the pocket thus being attached. White dimity with a tiny flower sprig or rose design, button-holed in pale pink or blue. with washable ribbon ties to match makes a very attractive apron, but If all white linen or lawn is used q hand-em- broidered design In white. such as Is shown in the sketch. adds much 10 the effect.

Housekeeping Hints Advice and Suggestions Various Subjects

Of the three 'ly meals, breakfast at least should be informal. With many people. especially those who are at lowest ebb In the morning, breakfast is the greatest bugbear of the day. It is torture to them to respond to cheerful chat or even to witness the freshness and vigor of those who are differently constituted. To such 1t is luxury to be served with coffee and rolls in their own rooms. In many modern houses the breakfast tray has done away with the breakfast table.
 However. if this tray service does not meet with favor, a slmpliication of the ordinary breakfast routine may be used. as in one home where there are always guests. Breakfast consists invariably of fruit. cereal. toast, bacon, eggs and coffee Everybody goes down at the hour most convenient for him. He may hep himself 10 fruit or ring for the waitress if she Is not in the room. She will bring the cereal and hear how he wishes the eggs cooked. and whether the toast should be dry or buttered The cereal Is easily
