BATTLESHIP FLORIDA.

On March 9th there was laid at
the Brooklyn navy yard the keel
plate of the "FlOrida," which on
the day of her launch will be the
largest battleship afloat. A sister
ship, the utah." is being built by
the New York Shipbuilding Com
pany, Camden, N. J. The "Flori-
da," 521 1-2 feet over all, will have
SO feet 21-2 inches beam, or a few
inches more than the "Maure-
tania.'' Her normal displacement
will be 21,S25 tons, her full load
displacement 23,O34 tons. She will
be driven by 28,O0O-horse-power
Parsons turbines at speed of 20
ga knots. Her armament will con-
sist of ten 12-inch and sixteen
5-inch guns. AS result OF the
economies due to consolidation of

tors expect with this ship to make
a new record for rapidity OF con-

THE SALTON SEA

That the so-called Salton Sea is
not sea mt all, but an accummula-
ton of waste water i'm the bottom
of a depression 200 or more feet
below sea level, is the statement
of r. II Newell, director of the q.
nited States reclamation service,
appearing in the appendix of the
annual report OF the Smithsonian
Jnsi ution. Mr.. Newell describes
wildly the break in the dixie of
the Colorado river, the knife-like e
cutting Of the new channel, the or
ganized attack on the water and
the final successful closing of the
break during the year. "The sea
may now evaporate at from 8 to 7
or more feet annually" he says i'm
conclusion, "but for many years it
probably will be a mark of inter.
est to the traveller, and the inhab-
itants of the Imperial Valley must
live, as do the people of Holland,
with an eye to protection against
the enemy of their homes.'

known only to the fisherman and

from Schooner Bayou through
White, Alligator and Grand lakes
and into the Mermenteau river,
that is cut up by small bavous and
lakes, whose waters abound with
fish all the year and are alive with
ducks and geese in the winter
months. This canal will offer easy
access TO these bayOus and lakes
and market outlet while the high
bluffs along the lakes will efford
the most favorable location for
and fishing clubs of the
larger cities to erect clubhOuses
and secur reservations. While

gone over Saturday, March 81, by

A movement has been launched
here by local capitalists to organ

1900 acres of marsh lands south
Of town and dredge a navigahle

nigh driveway along the canal, the
ength of which will be fourteen
