Although Chicago's altruistic sup
port of deep waterway projects won
the next autumn's convention of the
Lakes -to-the- e-Gu1f Deep Waterway
"A the city, has lost in ten
years 10,0O0,0O0 tons of commerce
to Milwaukee, Duluth and other lake
ports, because of its neglect of its
own harbor According to reports just
made to commercial organizations
here, the water in Chicago river and
the s53,OO0,O00 drainage canal has be-
come, by filling in of sediment, much
too shallow for commerce. The re-
ports have startled business interests
here and seem likely TO arouse them
to effective action. According to the
figures submitted TO the Real Estate
board the shallow water in the drain
age canal was due TO neglect to dredge
the channel, and the choked channel
was the cause of back flow to Lake
Michigan during freshets in February.
The report gave the depth in some
places 20 feet from the dock line at
2 feet. In the west fork of the old
Chicago river, there was shown 10 be
only 12 feet In several places. At
other points the depth is 13 feet,
with a maximum of "a feet. During
the past seventeen years, except for
turning basins, less than 100000 has
been expanded in improving the Chi
capn river and sol ono of that
amount was expended in the purchase
of projecting land. The Govern
ment Engineer Col. Bixby, has put
the tonnage receipts of the two har-
bors, Calumet and Chicago, barring
iron ore, at 1,506,7S1 tons less in 1905
than was received In 1889 in the old
river alone.

seeeARs, UNION.
French Organization for Protection
Against Pretenders.

Not long ago an Austrian
association of dancing masters
sought redress at the hands
of the law for the infringe
ment of their prerogative by an un.
fortunate doctor of medicine who had
found It impossible to make a living
by the practice OF his own profession.
But the most remarkable trade union
of which we have heard Is one in
the south of France formed by beg
gars for the suppression of unqualL
fed practice
the lame. the halt and the blinu who
extract voluntary contributions from
the charitable public was held at
Marseilles, one legged man being in
the chair, for the purpose OF organlz-
ing themselves into body strong
enough to resist the encroachments
Of pretenders. The association was
duly constituted, with statutes and
bylaws. 1t was decided that only
French subjects with genuine malfor-
nations or sores could be admitted
to membership.
Compliance with this condition may
not be altogether easy to enforce, for
the limitation OF diseases is a fine art.
Readers of the life of Ambrose Pare
may remember that when he was ST.
a barber's apprentice ne won some
reputation in his native town by the
exposure of beggar who used to
stand at the door of the parish church
exposing to the pity of the faithful
a frightful fungating tumor of the
arm which proved to be a piece of de-
composed mutton. Since the founda-
tion OF the association two one legged
men-named, We learn from the Jour
nal des Dedats, Roisin and earlier
have started on q mission, delivering
addresses wherever they go. warning
the public against impostors.
The headquarters of the association
are to be In Paris, and the organiza-
tion will be under the direction of one
Doussineau, who though he walks on
crutches is said to be a man of de
vouring activity, going up and down
beating up recruits. Some difficulty
seems to have arisen in regard to
contributions, many of the members
preferring to keen their earnings to
themselves. A feeling of uneasiness
seems also TO exist lest the list OF
members should find its way into un-
desirable hands.

The United States weather bureau
has denied that the coming of the equl'
nox brings with 1t a storm. The be-
lief 1t says, that the old fashioned peo
pie put In this theory is all misplaced.
ANY big storm that happens TO occur
within week or two of the time that
the sun is crossing the line, say the
weather men, Is dlgnitied by the name
of "equnoctIal Storm" when, as a
matter Of fact, there is generally some
atmospheric disturbance every week or
two, and those that occur about the
time of the equinox are just taking
their turn and are not the result OF the
crossing of the sun.

A Remarkable Church.

At Stlvichall. near Coventry, Eng
land, there is a unique place Of wor-
ship. In 1910 John Green. stonema-
son of strongly religious turn Of
mind, laid the first stone of the editice,
and seven years later he completed the
building. In all that time lie had as
sistance from no one, doing all the
work with his own hands until the
church was ready for Its interior fit
tings. Wooden and even brick build
ings erected by one or two men are
not uncommon. but this Is the only
structure In England and probably III
the world of which every stone waa
laid by one man. The building accom-
modates quite large congregation,
and the church derives a considerable
revenue from the contributions of
sightseers who are drawn to the place
through curiosity.

JOHN AND HIS IDOLS.
The chinaman Is Utterly Devoid Of
Reverence In His Religion.

The chinaman Is Utterly Devoid Of
Reverence In His Religion.
How the Chinaman regards his idol
is told by the Rev. John MacGowan:
"The Chinese is a person utterly de-
void of reverence. sentiment or devo-
ton In his religion. With him 1t Is n
matter either of fear or OF business,
but mainly the latter. A house Is
plagued with sickness, which Is put
down not TO bad sanitation or other
natural causes. but TO the presence of
evil spirits. This leads to II visit to the
nearest temple TO get the idol TO drive
them away. A new business Is going
to be commenced. but before doing SO
Il Is deemed essential to get the sup
port of the idols. If one idol says 1t
will not succeed another IL appealed to
for its opinion. and II 1t is favorable II
Is at once accepted as the correct one.
SHOULD the venture turn out fail
ure no reproach of any kind Is uttered
against the god whose prediction has
been falsihed The man takes the
blame upon himself. His character has
not been pure. he says. or he was born
under an evil star. or he was naturally
unlucky and so was bound to fall In
anything that he undertook.
"Men never dream of thinking about
their idols as we do about God. No
affection is shown for them. 1t IS most
amusing to watch the faces of the Chi
nese when you ask them II the Idols
love them. The eyes CLEAN. the face
broadens into n wide grin, and soor
hearty laughter Is heard at this most
facetious and side splitting joke;"-

YEARS Work With Spades.

During the year 1906 number of
interesting archaeological finds have
been made in the British isles, OF
which the London Globe gives the fol-
lowing descriptions:
In the course of some structural and
excavatory work carried out by Lord
Raglan at Castle Rushden, in the Isle
of Man, am old minting-house was
discovered. Portions of crucibles.
much copper dross. and large num-
Der Of Derby coins were found. 1t
Is very probable that this was the
spot where the coins which the Der
bys, when Kings of Man, made cur
rency, were minted. Still more i'm
portant was a find made early in the
year at Worcester, In the cellar of a
house known as king Charles's
house." from which his majesty es-
capped beyond the city walls after the
battle of Worcester. Here excavation
disclosed an almost perfect Roman
pottery kiln.
At Dorchester, where several Roman
pavements had been discovered in
years gone by, another of exceptional
beauty was found in the heart OF the
borough. This beautiful relic, laid in
a design of unusual elaboration
vases, serpents, leaves, etc, entering
into the design-has been carefully
taken up and successfully relaid in
the local museum. Remains of Ro-
man buildings have been uneartned
near Bath, at York, In Berkshire,
near Merthyr, and elsewhere. Near
London Roman vault was found be-
heath the foundations Of an old house
at Chiswick. In London itself not
only have several additional frag-
ments of the old Roman city wall
been laid bare, but in the heart OF
the city, In the course Of excavations
connected with the new fire station
IN Canon street, the remains OF
small Roman bath were found only n
few weeks ago.
There are few months of the year,
indeed, in which some fragment OF
one or other of the Londons long ago
does not come to light. Very early in
the year u considerable length or
foundations of the Roman wall was
exposed in the course of digging n
trench for telephone wires along the
city thoroughfare known as London
Wall. In March, in the course OF
certain excavations for new building
In Water street, arches and piers
were discovered which are believed to
have been part of the old Bridewell
Palace. Among the ruins were found
some fragments of medieval pottery, a
pair of deer-horns, and skull OF
tragic interest-for a significant cav
| ity over one temple showed clearly
how its owner must have come by
his death. Two months later came
the extraordinary discovery of hoard
| Of Georgian coins--mostly guineas
and half guineas-on a site in Ken
slngton High street. In October the
excavation of a cross-trench in con-
nection with the electrifcation of the
tram lines In Theobalds road, Hol-
born, revealed a section OF the ancient
wooden water conduit, which was
constructed by William Lamb, in
Henry Wis time, who gave his name
to the adjacent Lambs Conduit street.
And the list might easily be extended.

of the grain that changed hands May

made and paid for under Board of
Trade rules, and which now will go
forward to its ultimate destination.
The focus of this rivalry for traffic
lis the Board of Trade, for the grain
and provisions bought and sold here
run into tonnage figures which are
now enormous. The cured meats In
I1907 totaled 753 3,259,255 pounds, and
grain and flour 766,950,7S2 pounds.
The figures incidentally threw new
,light upon the great legitimate busi-
ness of such exchanges, which has
been confused with the gambling done
in their counterfeits, the 'buoket-
shops" which have been persistently
fought by them for years. In order
to maintain a continuous market for
live stock, the packing companies
sell in the provision pits for future
delivery those meat products which
must be cured, and on which they
need to borrow as otherwise. for lack
of capital, the record of 7,201 ,061 hogs
and 3,305,314 cattle marketed for cash
in Chicago In 1907 would not have
ibeen possible. About 100000 bush

have got about 100000 bushels. The
elevators here, with capacity of 63,.
