FINISHING THE
CHANNEL WORK
U. 5. Engineers Expect to
Have River Deepened to IS
Feet by Sept. |

The work Of making a preliminary sur
vey for 35-foot channel from Allegheny
avenue to the sea is progressing rapidly
and is now completed as far as Listens
Point, Delaware Bay, by the United
States engineers The survey will not ex-
tend to the Delaware Breakwater, but
only to deep water in the bay at point
short distance below Bombay Hook. II
is expected that the work viii be COM
pleted in September.
The survey is being made with a view
10 obtaining a channel not only OF s5
feet in depth, but Of a grel>sr width in
line with the increasing size and draft
OF craft necessary for the present and
prospective commerce that vii. seek the
port OF Philadelphia. Major Delkyne. the
United States engineer IN charge Of the
survey, states that the test borings take
up considerable time and labor, as the
character Of the soil varies in the different
parts of the river and bay. This matter
is important, as it will largely determine
the cost Of exoavating in the proposed
channel.

MUCH POSTAL ADVICE
Suggestions Galore as to the Tying of
Mail Packages.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-With a
S225,OO0 bill for the twine used to tie
packages of letters in transmission the
Postofiice Department is endeavoring
to make a big saving in using the odd
ends. At the present time bundles OF
letters addressed TO the same destina-
tiou are tied by hand. and when re-
ceived the twlne is thrown away. Post
MASTER General Hitchcock believes that
if this twine could be used again and
again that S175,0O0 might be saved
every. year.
Accordingly a committee, consisting
of Assistant Postmaster-G General Grand
field, Steward and Degraw, made pub
lie announcement that they would con-
slider tying devices and substitutes for
twine with which they might savo
this money as well as much time. The
response was overwhelming. Models
of every conceivable character, employ
ing paper. tape. wire, rubber bands,
leather straps, chains and even three
quarter inch rope, have been submit
ted
The models include bands and fas-
teners like garters, large boxes with
compartments, small wooden boxes wit
compartments, small wooden frames wit
cord attachments sacks, with label
led pockets, rope and galvanized clasp
resembling a horse tying device, met
al frames, hooks and eyes, etc.

SILVER WATTS FOR WARSHIPS
Gift Of South Dakota to Its Namesake
Has Been Neglected Years.

Has Been Neglected 5 Years.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Whenever
Captain James T. Smith, commanding the
battleship South Dakota, wishes to decor
ate his table with magnificent silver SER
vice he can do so by merely making a re-
quest Of the Navy Department for the
transfer to his custody Of the gift made
to his vessel by the people Of South Da-
kota five years ago.
In 1904, long before the craft was a1oat,
the gift was made by the Governor of the
State with a request that as soon as the
essel was placed in commission the silver
be sent aboard. In January, 1908, the South
Dakota was launched The gift of the
State was forgotten. The silver service
had been boxed and stored in the New
York Navy Yard There IL is supposed
to be to-day. No one seems to be especial
~ charged with the duty of delivering il
TO the vessel. The people of South Dakota
have become restive under the indifference
shown toward their generosity. The bat
tleship is now on the Atlantic coast.

MASCOT FOR LATHAM.
Daring Monoplanist Given Live Pigeon

Daring MonopIanist Given Live Pigeon
by Fair Lover of Aeronautics.
That Latham has twice failed to
cross the English channel is not due to
the neglect of the fair lovers of aero
nautics. They have been on hand at
both of the important flights and have
given him every encouragement. The
aviator has been waiting for the OPP
portunity to emulate the feat of Bile
riot, and the tedium is relieved by the
lively interest of the women who flock
from Calais and the other nearby
towns. AS a mascot one of the young
women the other day presented to the
daring monoplanist live pigeon.
She did not share the popular super
stition that pigeon is an unlucky
bird She took the view that with the
guidance of one of these fliers that
cross the channel repeatedly Latham
may be spurred to success. Latham, a
true gallant, promised that the pigeon
would from a silken ribbon show him
the aerial road to Dover when he next
attempts to cross the international gap.

FATHER OF AMERICAN BlCYCLE
Career CT Colonel! A. A. Pope, Manu-
facturer and Good Roads Advocate.

Career CT Colonel A. A. Pope, Manu-
facturer and Good Roads Advocate.
Colonel Albert A. Pope. the noted
bicycle and automobile manufacturer,
who recently died at his summer home
i'll Cohasset, Mass, was born in BOs-
ton May 20, 1913. When lie was nine
years cid. his father having failed in
business, he obtained employment on
farm, and thereafter until he was nine
teen he peddled vegetables, acted as
clerk in store and sold machinery,
going to school during the winter
months. In 1862 he was commissioned
a second lieutenant in the Thirty-fifth
regiment Massachusetts volunteers,
which had been organized in response
to President Lincoln's call for 100000
volunteers.
AS soldier he served in the princi-
pal Virginia campaigns, with Burnside
in Tennessee with Grant at Vicksburg,
with Sherman at jackson, Miss, and
commanded Fort He'll at the attack on
Petersburg. He was commended for
bravery, and in recognition of his serv
ices he was several times promoted.
He was brevetted major ''for gallant
conduct in the battles at Knoxville,
Poplar Springs Church and in front Of
Petersburg.
When the war was over Colonel
Pope returned to Boston and settled
down to business in the manufacture
of shoe supplies. This business pros
pered to large extent, and in 1877 he
became interested in the bicycle, and,
realizing the possibilities in the devel-
opment of it's use, he determined to
employ his energies and capital in that
direction. A company was organized,
and in the following year he perfect
ed his plans for the manufacture of
bicycles on n large scale. He over
came the widespread prejudice against
the new machine and within few
| years created q market which not only
kept his company working to its full
est capacity. but resulted in the or
ganization of scores Of rival compa.
MES. AS the bicycle craze spread over
the United States he became known
as "the father of the American bi
cycle"
Colonel Pope was one Of the pioneers
in the movement for good roads ant
for several years delivered speeches
on the subject before chambers O
commerce. boards of trade and othe
organizations. He carried his cam
paign to such an extent that in 1S9
he began an extended correspondence
with the press, legislators, educators
writer's and all classes whose inf1uenc
he desired to obtain for the advance
ment of his project. He kept up tn
educational campaign through the dis
tribution of literature until finall
more than half Of the states Of tn
Union were advocating better higf
ways.
He was one of the first America
manufacturers to recognize the impol
lance of the automobile. and as til
bicycle lost in popular favor the con
pany Of which he was the founde
and for many years the active hea
began the manufacture of the hors'
less carriage.
Colonel Pope was member of se'
eral societies.

see a vision soon to come
When air obeys our will
And, soaring high and far and swift,
The sky with wings will fill.
Across the vast commercial fields
The bumbleships shall roam
And from the clover patches sweet
Bring heavy pollen home.
But they shall have another side
And more than peaceful arts
When nations fight among themselves
For honor. land or marts,
For when the parties rush to arms
Each quarreler shall find
A swarm of angry bumbleships
That leave their stings behind.
