futile. even though he pontifCates over
his poet after the fashion Of the Brown

in prose the story that Browning put
in verse; in the second part he follows
with needless minuteness the trail Of all
the characters from Arezzo to Rome, q
trip that his readers will envy him: in
the third part he tells what he thinks
of the people in the poem. He took his

DREDCES AGAIN
WORK In RIVER
Excavation Resumed, and De-
termined Effort Under Way
for Deepening Of Delaware
CHANNEL CONDITIONS
BETTER THIS YEAR

The work of eXcavating the 35-foot
channel In the Delaware river was re-
sumed yesterday, when eight dredges
were put into commission and an
energetic effort made to effect good
substantial start after three months
OF idleness
AT the beginning OF the cold wealth.
er the work of dredging was COM
pletely tied up. Not even the main
tenance dredges remained at work
The cold and ice on the river made
all further progress impossible.
The first warm rays of the sun was
the occasion for the contractors re-
iuvenating the old dredges which
have seen service for so many years
The Maryland Dredging Company
quickly put two dredges on the river
and with them were associated four
dredges from the American Dredging
Company. All the dredpes began work
near Schooner Ledge just outside
Chester.
Two United States dredges which
are used every year for the purpose
OF maintaining the channel al the
depth OF 35 feet were also put on the
river. These dredges the Delaware
and Manhattan. began working near
Cherry Island flats, near the mouth
of the Christiana river. Here, ac-
cording to the army engineers, now in
Philadelphia, the condition of the
channel is poorest This, they say
is due to the shoals at the mouth of
the Christiana river.
Eight more dredges from the Coast
wise Dredging Company at Norfolk
Va, and the Atlantic Dredging Com
pany of Philadelphia, will be put to
work on the channel in a few days
The work will then be in full swing.
and army engineers in this city say
there Is every prospect for some rap
id progress.
Channel Conditions Good.
During the winter period OF idle
ness the channel has maintained a
satisfactory depth, according to Off
cials tn the army engineers office
The depth of the Horseshoe, near the
Navy Yard, was tested and found to
be "a feet. At the lower end of the
river, Reedy Island, Baker Range and
Liston Range, the depths averaged
abont 30 feet. The satisfactory con.
diuons at these points are due to the
dikes in the vicinity. Many places
in the channel seem hardly to have
been affected by the period of idle
ness. The depths seldom fell below
81 feet
A new set Of bids will be opened on
March 2i, for the 12-foot channel ex-
tending along the Delaware river
front at Trenton, y. j. All the old
bids put in about month ago have
been rejected by the government, on
the ground that they were excessive
No contract was awarded.
Another set Of specifications have
been drawn up and were issued 10
contractors today. It Is believed that
the bids will be considerably reduced
at this bidding.

BY VIRGINIA VALE.

Once upon a time a little brown
rabbit lay down under tree to
nave nap He went sound asleep
and dreamed. Oh such a dream. He
thought that all the rabbits had
shed their feet and new ones had
grown in their place. He was to
take all the old ones and go 10 the
big gray fox to sell them. He did
not think much OF that but as rab-
bits feet are supposed to bring
good luck to any one that owns
