A FORGOTTEN CANAL.
Uncle Sam Is Now Asking About
Illinois and Michigan Project.

From the Worcester Telegram.
Illinois may be the first State to wake
up the modern beginning for canal ship
ping in the United States. And that may
be forced on that State because of a new
move made by the Federal government
For years Illinois has made no use of the
Illinois and Michigan Canal. which was
dug before 1910 and used for some years
with success, and the Federal government
is now looking TO the State to account
for a great deal of land 1t was presented
by the Federal government as a reward
for the cutting Of the canal to connect
the waters of the Great Lakes to those
of the Illinois River and finally the Mis-
sissippi River. There is now in bad shaps
a waterway which cost more than se5.-
0oo.oI0 and which not more than two ship.
ping clerks in Chicago ever heard Of in
their business.
The big discouragement of tina: canal
was the fever of the people years ago
when the railroads came to this country
and began to do great things. They did
so much around Chicago that all but his
torians forgot about that old canal and
its so5.0a.oD expense. The government
of the United States wants Illinois to pay
for the land, and at its present value,
which Is dreadful in comparison with the
past value. and also to indemnify the
country for the neglect of business which
that canal should have done. That looks
like compromise with the Federal gov
ernment taking the land, canal. and all
and putting the ditch 10 work Railroads
do not fear the canals now as much as
they did years ago. and the resurrection
of that one near Chicago would not mean
death or illness for any railroad stock or
bond.
The letter which has been written to
the State Of Illinois on the subject OF
getting back on earth contains these sig
nificant words: 1T would appear that bv
the acceptance Of the said land grant,
together with the enjoyment Of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of considerable portion
of the land. the State assumed con-
fractional obligation TO the United States
TO maintain the canal as a public high
way for the use of the United States
which would be violated II the canal be
allowed to become unfit for use or hs
abandoned" 1t appears that the canal
mas been practically forsaken by Conn
merce because the State has not pro-
Tided terminal facilities for the use O.
shippers. by the ditch route and which
makes the obligation of the Federal gov
ernment binding. There is a prospect
now that the government will take the
canal away from the State and proceed
to open it for business with terminal
facilities for loading and unloading pro-
Vided. The history of that Chicago canal
reads like what might be expected OF
the railroad history Of Massachusetts, il
the state should take the roads over and
set out to manage them. The people
may see the follies in advance by remem-
bering the difficulties of the Illinois canal
of long ago.

THE PULSE OF A sKYsCRApER,
Constant Slight Vibrations in Every
Direction.
From the Christian Herald.

From the Christian Herald
BY day or night a modern city Is never
wholly at rest. 4 hundred disturbins
factors are constantly setting up curious
vibrations which travel in every direc-
uon. The tracing out Of these vibrations
and their accurate measurement is a
new problem among builders which has
a peculiar interest for the layman as
well. This problem OF feeling the pulse
or buildings is not limited to great cities.
out often arises in comparatively small
towns throughout the country. Let a
train rush past the foundations Of a
high building. or even. a low one. or a
powerful windstorm beat against its
walls. and the entire structure may vi
orate like giant tuning fork. Incl
dentally. the problem is so we'll UNDER
STOOD that accidents from excessive vi
oration are practically unheard Of. The
cradle may rock but 1t never falls.
The measurement Of the pulse-like vi
oratons Is made much the same as that
OF an earthquake, and almost as accu-
rately. The marvelously delicate instru-
ments which are depended upon for these
records trace curious pulsing lines,
which show at glance Just how wide
an arc the building swings through. and
now regular is the recurrence Of the
movement These readings are accept
ed in court as absolutely conclusive. and
II Is not uncommon for damage suits in
voiving immense sums of money to bo
decided by these delicate tracings.
Public opinion is all wrong. or nearly
so. as to the amplitude of the vibrations
OF buildings, both large and small. Every
one has felt such vibrations but ones
sensations are apt to be very misleading.
1t IL a surprise to many that the most
violent vibrations are not felt in the ex-
tremely high buildings. as Is commonly
supposed. but In the comparatively low
ONCE buildings, and as a rule those of
solid construction. Arbitration OF three
sixteenths of an inch Is extremely vio-
lent FOR movement Of one one-hun-
aredth OF an inch is readily noticeable.
As the records show, there is a peculiar.
method Of rhythm in these movements.
