COMPREHENSIVE POLICY IN
TREATMENT Of WATERWAYS

O rother instrumentalities of water
traffic. The time has come when we
must recognize that railroads and in
strumentalties of water traffic must
be operated with common purpose,
for the serving of the people and for
the public good. There is absolutely
no just ground of conflict or of con-
troversy between the waterways and
the railroads.

Need for Improved Waterways.

Speaking of the growing needs for
improved waterways and terminals,
Mr. Small said: The excavation of
canals and the improvements of
streams do not fill all the require
ments for the building up of water
way navigation and of waterway traf-
fic. That is a delusion which men
thoughtlessly indulge in. There are
other essentials in order for the prop
er utilization of our waterways and
for created waterway traffic. Ter
minals must be constructed. Water
ways without terminals are Just as
useless as railroads without terminals,
and whenever there are stopping
places, whether it be village, town OF
city, a proper and modern terminal
must be constructed and facilities for
handling the freight fro mthe ware
house to the barge or steamer, and
vice versa provided at the cheapest
cost. These terminals ought to be
owned by the public, either by the
state or municipality, and they ought
to be free, under proper regulation
for the accommodation of all barge'

Joint Ownership of Water Carriers.

Joint Ownership of Water Carriers.
"There is another feature. To my
mind, one of the evils which has
come up in recent years has been the
joint ownership Of the water carriers
and the railroads by the same compa-
MES. The waterways naturally hold
an independent position. Just as Il
is IMPOSSIBLE for one man to serve two
masters, so is it absolutely impossiblH
for one set of officials to manake 4
railroad and water carriers Al, the

A GHOST AT SEA.
The Phantom That Boarded the Bark
Sea Flower.


The following incident is recorded
as a true short story by al English
publication:
The Sea Flower, d bark of some 40
tons, was in the early hours of the
23d of June, 1864, bound for Bristol.
England, under the command of the
first mate, her captain, John Ellis,
having been left behind at Kingston.
Jamaica. suffering from yellow jack"
1t was about four bells in the middle
watch Tor = Il. m.I when b mate. who
was standing ear the pinnacle giving
the helmsman his course. suddenly be-
came ware of Il mysterious presence
in the waist of the ship. At the same
moment his companion clutched him
by the arm. and. pointing, shrieked.
Dye see him. SIR"
Before he could reply the mate be
came WARE that the dark shadow he
had just before observed had SO far
materialized that it bore the appear
ance of Captain Ellis. The figure Of
the captain advanced along the deck
and disappeared slowly down the com
panion.
Recovering himself. the mate left the
helmSman and hurried down into the
cabin, meeting. just coming out of il.
the second mate. who told him he had
been awakened with a start after
dreaming that the captain had come
aboard and was calling him. Both
men then made a cOmDlete search of
the saloon and the other cabins. but. it
is needless to say. without result.
Later it was found that Captain Ell
lis had died between / and 2 a. m. in
the morning of June %.
The story got about. and the ship OBJ
tanned a reputation for being haunted;
consequently Il difficulty was found in
obtaining crews. and in the end it was
renamed and sold to 4 foreign firm.

A Scientific Theory Concerning the
End of Our Planet.

End OF Our Pldnet.
Credulous individuals who are al
ways fearful that some Of the ends
of the world predicted by sensational
prophets may prove to be true will
find considerable comfort In the asser-
ton of Professor Lowell that there is
good scientific evidence for the belief
that mankind will have many years
warning Of the great catastrophe that
is destined 10 put an end to all things
on this planet.
According to Professor Lowells
statements. there is somewhere within
the remote confines Of space Il great
mass of matter-once a world. but
dead-that Is hurting itself to-
ward our sun. In time it is certain
to reach the goal TO which it is tend
ing. and when the two come together
the globe Oh which we live is destined
to cease to exist.
Fortunately for our peace of mind,
there is at the present moment no
such dead world within dangerous
proximity, and yet any day it may
appear. Any day the morning papers
may that one of these dark
bodies has come within the reach of
the telescope-that it may readily be
seen by the light of the sun reflected
upon it.
While it would then be certain that
the end of the world was in sight,
there would still be ample time in
which to prepare for the inevitable.
If the first view of the intruder was
caught at the eleventh magnitude
it could scarcely come much nearer
without being detected-it would not
be until twenty-Seven years later that
it would become visible to the naked
eye. and three years more would
elapSe before it appeared Il us as
equal in size to a first magnitude star.
In two years and three months more
Jupiter. and by that time it would be
far the brightest star in the sky. In
fact, its effect upon the world would
already be felt. Our seasons would
change. and the days would grow long
ger. Finally. just l45 days later,
those who were still alive would wit
ness the beginning of the end. The
stranger would not strike the earth,
but would pass so close in its dash to
the sun that the earth would turn and
follow until together they would drop
silently into the Sun.-Brooklyn Eagle.
