Washington, D. c., May 14.-The
River and Harbor appropriation bill,
reported by Senator Nelson from the
Commerce Committee of the upper
branch of Congress is, in many ways,
the most important measure the Com
mittee has recommended in years, as
it urges legislation that cannot help
but prove a far-reaching character.
In extending the scope of the usual
investigations on the part of the En-
gineers which are required in order
that comprehensive reports may be
made on the same, the Committee en-
phasizes the position taken by
the National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress early in it's history, that of fix
ing time limit for the completion of
some of the large projects in order
that the public may be prepared to
use the harbor or waterway thus i'm
proved. The bill however goes farther
than any similar measure appropriate
ing money for rivers and harbors as
II calls upon the Chief Of Engineers
of the Army and the Board Of Engi-
neers for Rivers and Harbors to re-
port to Congress, Gin which shall be in
cluded a preliminary report not later
than Dec. II, 1912, upon the saving
as we'll as other advantages, which can
be accomplished by the adoption OF
the continuing contract system, the
rapidity with which projects should be
completed, upon methods of Standard
cation by which the waterways OF the
country may be improved uniformly in
proportion to their capacities TIC
enable the Board of Engineers to prop
erlv secure this information an appro
priation of 100000 is made. While
this is a decided step forward the
Commerce Committee is not content
to stop there but requires that there
shall be inquiries made into both prl
yate and public terminals, and trans
fer and dock facilities contiguous tt
the waterway to be improved.
The question of terminals has beer
one of very great Importance evel
since the adoption of the present sys

RIVERS AND HARbORS BILL
MOST IMPORTANT IN YEARS

tenn of treating the waterways of the
country, for one of the most serious
handicaps to water transportation has
been the lack of public dock facilities
at reasonable rates and within the
reach of all desiring to use them.
1.-THE tendency has been toward
ownership and control of such facili-
ties by railroads" the report says, cor
by these and steamship lines acting In
conjunction with them, practice not
conducive to healthy competition on
the cheap handling of freight. While
many communities, including several
of the larger cities, are awakening to
the Importance of freeing commerce
from this handicap, by municipal or
other public ownership or control of
docks and terminal facilities, there is
much remaining to be done"
Senator Nelson, Chairman Of the
Commerce Committee, who is looked
upon as the father of the Continuing
Contract System, which has been OF
incalculable benefit in establishing a
comprehensive policy of waterway i'm
provements, is enthusiastic in support
of these new departures In the river
and harbor bill and hopes to see the
bill signed by the President as it will
pass the Senate.

The Byzantine emperors were great
patrons of literature and greatly af-
fected superior bookbindings. The
byzantine coatings," or book covers,
were famous for their magnificence;
they were of gold, silver, copper, gilt,

Gospels, was rebuked by st. Jerome.

1t is interesting in this connection to
note similar observation credited to

| The books produced in the early CEN
turtles of the middle ages were of re-
markable beauty inwardly and out
wardly. Religious manuscripts were
enriched by Examinations within, while
their covers were of silver, gold or
enamel encrusted with gems. They
were bestowed as splendid gifts
by bishops and princes on monastic
houses and churches, where they were
laid on the altar or chained to desk.
Such chained books were named
"catenati" A rough outer covering
protected them. This was of dark
skin, or sealskin, and later of "chere-
votin," kind of leather, or Sandal"
a coarse silk. Such coverings were
also called 'chemises," as "chemise"
of sandalwood These precious books
were also placed in caskets, in shrines
or "capsoe." In Ireland they were
laid in satchels, otherwise named "po-
laires," orr "tiagha ubur," the Celtic
bookbinding possessing a peculiar
beauty of it's own.
There were secular bookbinders in
the middle ages who formed them
selves into guilds of craftsmen, but the
monks alone united the arts of COM

bookbinding, setting of jewels, enam-

The contract for the new unit at the electfo light stRt1on has been award. ed by the gas and electrical oommis- sioners, says President John McWll- Hams Of the commission, to the Gen. erHl Electric company. This company submitted the most advantageous proposition iR the opinion of the com mission, the new turbine generator being of the same style as the one aI- ready installed at the plant.

 The new unit which will be added this year Is to be 8 s,000 k1lowatt tur- blne generator, which is three times the s1ze of the present 750 kiOwatt turbine installed last year. Including the installation of the new turbine, which is similar to the present one, only larger, it will probably be fram four to six months before 1t is ready for uRe. The commission is better prepared for the installation of this big turbine, however, than for the previous one, for everything but ths foundation for the new one was put in when the other turbine was set. At tha time the whole cellar had to be changed extensively, but only the foundation for the new one is needed. The new turbine will be located about the center of the main building, west oE the present turbine, which will leave room. if third is ever needed, TO place it on the west side of tho building. thus having all the machines In hne.

McWilliams, that the commission has all it can do to keep up with it, but the new machine will be able to take care of the loads, together with the ether machines, for some time to come, even at the rate of increase of busi- ness, In summer, because of the low water at the Uncas Power station, from which the current is obtained whenever possible, the steam plant has to be in readiness to carry the load at anytime, and the danger of being unable to supply the needed current with the present equipment made it necessary to secure the new turbine. Many times only a portion of the needed supply can be obtained from the Uncas power station, but with the new machine there will be many units at the station. so they can be worked in various ways to cover the situation. The station has to be pre- pared to run continuously "A hours in the day, every day in the year.
 Big Saving in Coal.
 For some time past the Uncas Pow CT station has been furnishing all the current, there being plenty of water, and the indications now point to a continuance for quite a time to come With the new equipment however President McWilliams states that cleo tricity can be made about as cheap by steam as it can be secured from the hydro electric pant, provided the price of coal does not go too high. For 9 city up to 50,000 people a plant equipped with turbines would not care for hydro electric assistance. The tur- bine is a great coal saver and big saving with the new machine is an- ticipated.
 The new machine when installed will cost between $3o,000 and $35, coo, or within the appropriated amount, said the president.
