ELIMINATING SPACE.

or devices for the elimination Of
space there is no end. There can be
none. until the people stop progress
ing. Occasionally a project is pro-
posed OF more than usual daring. The
particular prize for which the COM
mercial world is now striving is the
trade OF South America, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. North Amer
lea and Europe each want the bulk
of IT. The natural advantage which
this continent possesses has SO far
been more than balanced by Euro
pean aggressiveness. And now Eu-
rope proposes to cut in two the time
distance that separates her from the
object of her commercial longing. II
is figured that five days are long
enough TO transport European goods
10 South American consumers. To
establish such a schedule involves en-
gineering and financial difficulties
which may, of course, finally prove
its impossibility. BY reliable parties
the "Ibero-Afro-American railway is
proposed, first, to cross Spain to
Gibraltar. where ferry boats Will
transport trains to the African coast;
thence run to Bathurst, the nearest
point to South America. From Bath
hurst to Pernambuco, Brazil. is but a
three-day run for fast steamers. The
cost of carrying out this project,
daring as it seems, would be but a
mere fraction of what the United
States alone is paying for the Pana-
ma canal. And a half dozen Euro
pean nations would be benefited by
1t. 1t seems by no means impossible.

An unusually peculiar damage suit
has just been decided in New York
by which the widow of fire chief
has been awarded $4,000 for the loss
of his life in a furniture establish
ment fire. The chief fell through an
open we'll hole in the building into a
cellar half filled with water and was
drowned before he could be rescued.
The open we'll hole was in violation
OF a city ordinance. This suit, with
its large damages, will help to en-
phasize the highly important fact that
such ordinances are intended to pre-
vent just such accidents, and that dis
regard of them leads to criminal and
civic liability when a life is lost.
There are many ordinances Of the
kind held lightly in regard until a
fatal accident shocks the authorities
into enforcement.

An object the size of a battleship can
actually be hit at that distance.
The rifled mortars supplement
these. The mortar is gun that never
appears above the breastworks. 1t re-
mains out of sight and drops it's mis-
sile over the intervening embankment
The missile takes a curve high into
the air, but its course is so calculated
that it will drop upon the enemy.
Powerful bombs are dropped into the
midst of the hostile camp at a dis
tance of nine miles. The armor of the
attacking vessel is avoided in this
case and the shell is dropped in her
vitals.
The fortifcation board plans the
building of breastwork Notifications
about the locks where they might be
attacked by land. These works would
be erected at either end of the canal.
In connection with them would be laid
the foundation of a camp. Sewers
would be laid, water put In. These
are the vital things in an army camp.
With this preparation it would be pos.
sible at any time, having the soldiers
available, to meet any land invasion.
Then 1t is planned TO establish an
army post at Culebra, the highest and
healthiest point on the isthmus. This
camp will be pitched on the edge of
the big cut opposite the town of
Culebra. A bridge will be thrown
across the cut TO facilitate communi
cation. Here quarters will be pre-.
pared for 5000 soldiers. It will be a
model army post for the tropics. Ce-
ment will be the central idea in con-
structions, and hollow walls will lend
themselves to GOODNESS. The moisture
will have no effect upon them and
ants may not devour them.
The garrison would consist of four
regiments of infantry, one squadron of
cavalry and three batteries of field ar.
tillery. There would be some twelve
companies of the coast artillery. 800
men. These It Is contemplated quar-
tering near the Pacific end of the
canal, but they could be quickly trans
ferred from one station to another.
So 1t seems reasonable to surmise
that in the end the Notifications at
Panama will be such as the world has
never before known.
If the strongest of naval forces of
the Pacific should attempt to attack a
fragment OF our navy at Balboa. the
Pacific terminus Of the canal, the guns
of the coast defense could hold that
navy at bay until other battleships
were brought through the canal. The
same thing would be true If the at.
tack were made on the Atlantic side
with the process reversed.

lish municipal baths for the million
at Coney island, other and ever more
ambitious plans for its improvement
have been formulated. These include
a continuous walk and drive along
the entire five miles of it's water
front, and a new bulkhead line, which
has been authorized by government
engineers. A contract has been let
for a rip-rap wall, forty feet thick
at its base and twenty fe-t at the
top, surmounted by a concrete walk
This will protect the island from
those periodic invasions by the At
lantic which have frequently been
quite destructive. All Of which is
expected to attract a higher average

Il the needs of the strip from
the war standpoint. The pre-
| Iiminary sum appropriated and those
amounts that are TO follow are to be
placed at the disposition of Col
George w. Goethals, chief engineer OF
quarters are to be built in conjunc
ton with the other work in this, the
greatest engineering undertaking in
all history.
The Panama canal in its simplest
terms is an inland lake accessible at
either end through locks. The few
miles of channel between the locks
and nayigable water on either end are
mere accessories to the canal. The
great Culebra cut is important only be-
cause of the work in making it, The
locks are the vital thing when the
work is done.
For these reasons the board of for
tification decided that it was between
these locks and the sea that the great
iefenses should be built. The high
lands near the sea should be the loca-
| ton Of the coast defense stations. The
chief of these on the Atlantic side
would be on Toro point, commanding
Limon Bay and the entrance of the
canal. Another battery would be To-
Gated across the bay with the same
command. On the Pacific side the
greatest point of vantage would be
Battle point, with a twin battery on
the opposite side of the canals mouth.
Or possibly on the island of Culebra
In the harbor. All of these points
are on high ground and command the
waters within ten miles of the mouth
Of the canal.
Military authorities today declare
that the coast defense is the most inn
pregnable of all Notifications. Hours
Of heavy bombarding from powerful
navy should have little effect upon It,
while in return the probabilities are
that II would send many battleships
to the bottom.
The mainstay of the coast defense
IS the disappearing gun. Those to be
used at Panama are to be of 14-inch
caliber. They will be placed back of
Notifications which are nothing less
than mountain ridges, for the coast
defense station is sunken underground
at the brow of some eminence. The
ammunition, the stores. the men who
operate the guns, are all underground
with many feet of castiron between
them and any intruding object.
Two styles of guns are the main
dependence of the coast defense, the
14-inch guns and the rified mortars.
The 14-inch guns adapted to coast de-
fenses Is the most powerful imple-
ment of war known. The missile that
Il discharges weighs 1,640 pounds. II
would be a good load for two horses
to drag. II is a steel jacket with
most powerful explosives inside The
gun is OF such strength as to throw
this missile a distance of ten miles.

Wasted Hints.

A sea captains wife tells this story
Of a maiden lady, sister of one Of the
owners of the ship on which she once
made a long voyage. She had very
decided opinions on most matters, and
she and the captain had many spirited
arguments at the dinner table.
The captains wife, meek, submis-
sive little soul, fearing that in the heat
of argument her husband might say
something to offend their august pas
senger, was in the habit of kicking
him on the shins to hint at modera-
ton. Nevertheless all these reminders
passed unheeded.
One day she administered more
vigorous kick than usual and noticed
an expression of pain fit across the
face of the mate, who sat opposite her.

D. D. D. has become so famous as
a cure and instant relief in Eczema

that it's value is sometimes overlooked
In clearing up rash, pimples, black

The fact is, that while D. D. D. Is
so penetrating that it strikes to the
very root of Eczema or any other seri-

are so carefully compounded there is
no wash for the skin made that can
