The surveyors in charge of the pre-
limnary work of laying out the route
of the proposed inland waterway from
Narragansett bay to Watch Hill, the
Rhode Island link in the government s
plan for inland water communication
between Massachusetts bay and Beau
fort, S. c., have run the route from
point at Charlestown pond. This week
will see the line run alongshore
through many of the salt ponds that
dot the southern Rhode Island coast
in the general direction toward Bright
mans pond, Westerly. The projected
canal will enter Little Narragansett
bay at Watch Hill.
The survey is being conducted by
A. ]. ODER of Newport c. 0. Abel of
Taunton. w. M. Thompson of Saund-
erstown and Edward Parish, Jr., of
Newport. 1t was begun last week.
The canal calls for a depth of rs
feet and of sufficient width to accom-
modate the small craft which have
heretofore been compelled to encoun-
ter the high seas so frequently met
off Point Judith and the southern
Rhode Island coast.
The greatest elevation met with in
the survey thus far is % feet at Green
Hill, though it is probable that fully as
great cut will be necessary at
Watch Hill, where the canal enters
Little Narragansett bay; but as this
will be for only a short distance. it is
not likely to prove a serious draw
back to the execution of the scheme.
The surveyors in charge of the work
say that the route is a favorable one
and that in many places the natural
waterways can be utilized with an ex-
cavation of from ten to fifteen feet.

DEFECTIVE SIGHT CAUSES
FAILURE OF MiDSHIPMEN
Physical Exercises Now in Vogue al
Naval Academy Said to
Impair Health

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Although
conditions existing at the United States
naval academy at Annapolis are giving
the navy department officials much
concern, it is not considered probable
that Secretary Meyer will adopt radical
corrective measures until Capt. Bowyer
relieves Capt. Badger as superintendent
this month.
The recent report of a board of FIVE
naval officers specially detailed at the
academy, which was in substance that
physical exercises now in vogue were
responsible for poor physique common
among recent graduates and midship-
men, has been borne out in a measure
by the failure of forty-three out of $50
midshipmen to graduate this year on
account of physical disability. Most of
those who failed, however were re-
jected, it is said, because of defective
sight
