FORMAL OPENING OF
LIVINGSTONE CHANNEL

The formal opening of the Living
stone channel, twelve miles in length
through the sheal waters of Limekiln
crossing at the mouth of the Detroit
river, occurred with imposing cere-
mony on October 10. This deep chan
nell has been excavated thru solid
limestone rock and affords a straight
and safe passage for the immense
vessel traffic of the Great Lakes.
More vessels and a greater tonnage
pass through 1t than any other water
way in the world.
This channel As miles of which
lie in Canadian waters of this con.
sular district, has been some years
under construction by the United
States government at cost OF about
SlO,OOO,OOO. Before its completion
the channel was constant menace
70 navigation.
IL is hoped and expected by ship
owners that the next session of the
Canadian parliament will provide for
constructing a channel on the Can
adam side of Fighting Island, the es.
timated cost of which is not high, as
excavation would be in earth and not
rock. Marine men say that If the
channel were made navigable and
boats allowed to proceed but one way
-
through 1t, preferably up, that il
would work well with the plan of CD.
Grating the Livingstone channel as
boats could proceed all the way down
in Livingstone channel and up the
Canadian side. The work of widen
ing Billiards. reef channel Will be
completed next season, and IL the
proposed channel materializes there
would be little chance for accidents
The Canadian channel is wide, but
shallow and also winding The turns
are abrupt, and although boats that
have not heavy drafts can pass
through they seldom do for fear of
going aground. The next session OF
parliament will convene in Noyem.

that favorable action will be taken

sxhorted to be Of good cheer and to
count up their mercies." Paul's
words are not only hortatory, but
also mandatory. 1t is the duty or
the Christian. amid all vicissitudes,
to be thankful. A believer Is never
justified In forgetting Gods benefits
to him. He Is expected to figure out
every now and then the sum OF the
divine favors that have been shown
to him, or what might be called the
statistics of salvation. II Is true that
divine mercies have been innumer-
able, and cannot be tabulated with
anything like completeness; yet the
Christian believer is exhorted to
dwell upon these mercies in thought
and to render vivid to his mind, by
frequent reflection, 80 many of the
visitations of divine favor as he can
discern providentially unfolded in
his past life.
There is, then, a duty Of thanks
giving. Praise is the expected thing,
gratitude is demanded. God Is dis

men receive his gifts without return

Tells HOW BLACK
DEATH met CHECK
Havana Physician Describes War
Against Bubonic Plague
In Havana

Bubonic plague (black death)
broke out last summer in Havana,
several cases developing before its
presence was known. Three hundred
years ago, such an occurrence would
have been followed by a fearful out
burst of plague. which would have
killed from one-quarter to one-third
OF the people, the only remedy for
which would have been charms and
incantations. II this had occurred any
time before the Spanish-American
war, when Havana was under Span.
ish rule, an epidemic Of months du-
ration would probably have followed.
But 1t is known now that plague is
carried by the rat and the flea.
Havana is now modern city with
paved streets and an adequate sewer
system. Best of all, the health Off.
Ger Dr.. Juan Guiteras, is well
known scientific authority on tropi.
cal diseases. No time was wasted in
professions, charms or relics. Hav-
ana was cleaned up and rats were
exterminated. DR.. Guiteras says that
a general order was given to clear
all premises OF rubbish, refuse and
used up material. For many days the
amount OF such stuff including street
sweepings and garbage, carried out
to sea in lighters was increased from
the normal daily output of $50 to 1000
tons day with an. average Of 1900
tons.
The orders to wash out the floors
daily with carbolic solution for the
destruction Of fieas were cheerfully
obeyed, not only in the infected dis
trict but throughout the city. In the
more exposed localities they were
carried out by the disinfection bri-
gades, whose work cannot be too
highly praised.
A deratization service and rat bri-
gades for the poisoning and trapping
OF rodents were created. A premium
OF five cents was paid for each rat.
Up to September 3, 1894 OATS were
killed. The result was that the pla-
que was quickly stamped out with
only the loss of few lives journal

PROBE Of PATENT
OFFICE IS UNDER
ECONOM|STSCHARGE
Presidents Commission
Hopes To Improve Con-
duct of Bureau.

A general investigation of the Patent
Office. its facilities. and methods OF
doing business, by the Presidents Econ
omy and Efficiency Commission, Is un-
der way.
The Commission is to report to Con-
gress and recommend changes in the
patent laws, increases in approprla-
tions. and what additional building ac-
commodat!ons. may In its judgment be
necessary to the office to discharge It's
functions in a thoroughly economical
and efficient manner.
The Commission Is also. to give an
opinion as to what extent increased
expenditures recommended can be met
by an increase in patent fees.
A report on all these questions Is to
he in the hands OF Congress by De-
cember 10. and the Commission is hard
at work. Congress appropriated max
imum of $4,000 for the work, to pro-
vide for the employment of experts,
and accountants outside OF the Gov
ernment service. These experts. how
ever, can not be paid more than Sll.l
day. the maximum per diem all al
lowance, made by Congress for such
experts. An opinion on this ques.
tion was asked OF the Comptroller ol
the Treasury by Carmi Thompson, Sec.
rotary to the President. Mr.. Thompson
set forth that the Commission desired
to get expert reports from foreigners
patent office business by other world
powers. and that owing to the shor'
time they would be occupied S11.ll @

The Comptroller held, however. that
this was the maximum to be allowed.

DECLARES CARS ON
GREAT FALLS LINE
ARE "UASAN|TARY''
Attorney Asks Surgeon-Gen
eral Blue, of Health Serv-
F, ice, to Make Inspection.

Attacking the condition OF cars on
the Great Falls line OF the Washington
and Old Dominion railroad as 'contin-
ually most unsanitary," declaring that
the cars are never cleaned or fumigated
and that the arrangements for ventila-
ton are a disgrace to civilization At
torney John b. Daish today asked Sur
geon General Blue. OF the Public Health
Service. to begin a sanitary inspection
Of these cars. 81
Tho request follows the announce
ment by the Public Health Service that
II will investigate the conditions on
trains engaged In Interstate commerce,
an announcement made at the close of
the hygiene and demography congress
Mr.. Daish's letter asking for an inves-
tigation says that he. calls attention
to the unsanitary condition of these
cars at the request of clients Of his.
These clients a few days ago formally
appealed to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for relief from increased
tariffs and for a betterment Of the SER
vice, which is declared to be insuifer-
ably bad.
When the case comes up for hearing
the complainants will introduce
evidence that local rates between
Great Falls line are much higher than
they were; that no commutation,
monthly or family tickets are sold to
Washington from many Of these points,
and that as result OF witndraw,hhs h
inston and other points an additional
fare is required on each trip.

One of the complainants on the petit
ton flied with the Interstate Commerce

Ia a mechanic in the Navy Yard. The
change in fare will cost him an extra
8. 80 a month, while his house, which
cost him $500, is deprecated in value,
he alleges, by the increase In rates.
How service on the Great Falls line
has deteriorated is told by Walter w.
Burns. an examiner OF patents In the
Patent Office. He lives at Franklin
Park.

Indications point TO an increasing
use OF the various flounce effects.
One OF the favored styles for deyel-
opening the flounce skirt is the use
of a slightly gathered skirt yoke in
conjunction with two twanty-seyen-
inch flounces. Some OF these gowns
have the flounces in velvet, plush,
lace, net. charmeuse OF chiffon. The
three-piece skirt has scant flounces
about eighteen inches wide They
are cut in curved outline. the center
front being shorter than the back
measurement. These flouncos are
not held in as straight a line as for
merly.
Flounces that border on the cir
cular effect and form a ripple are
making their appearance. but they are
scant and cling closely to the figure.
Accordion plaits are very good for
these flounces. as they require no
trimming, which would accentuate
