AN INcoNGRUoUs SITUATION.

On Saturday night the Salvation Army men and
women of New York City did a wonderful thing,
and the simplest thing in the world, too.
What was it!
They Invaded the bright light dance places on
Broadway where thousands were dancing as usual,
and warned the tangOists to stop and think for
moment of the higher and finer things of life and
to think upon life as Il serious proposition and upon
living as sacred thing.
This unexpected visitation startled the majority
of the pleasure seekers and many qucruouS
glance was shot from partner to partner.
Psalm singing and admonitiOn were the last
things the dancers expected to hear III their present
precincts and the thing was necessarily disconcert
ing In one of the places the most frcqnonted OF
its class on Broadway the Salvation men and wom-
en- sang "Whcn the Roll Is Called Up Iondcr
and the dancers stopped in awe. When it was over
some one started hand clapping and the hall soon
rcsounded with applause.
What did it mean
Was the signal to halt i'll timed! Was its giving
audaciOus7 Was it an unwarranted intrusion!
Answer for yourself. The SalvatiOnstS We're
given respectful hearing at every place visited.

ENLARaING THE sUEz CANAL.
{ Engineering Ncws.)


In order to make the Suez Canal of
sufficient depth to carry the largest
ships now anoat, work is now in pro-
gress toward deepening the canal to 40
feet throughout its length. When the
canal was opened in 1869 the width
was 70 feet and the depth about 26 feet
. inches. The maximum permissible
draft of ships using the canal in 1870
was 24.4 feet. In 1890 ships drawing
2J.4 feet were allowed and during the
succeeding 81 years the increase has
been at the average rate Of about one
foot every six years, thus bringing the
maximum draft authorized now up to
% feet. In June, 1913, the depth of
30 feet s inches had been increased over
n minimum width of lI7 feet 6 inches
for a length of about 50 miles and over
u width of 32S feet for a length Of 90
miles. Under the latest scheme a depth
Of 40 feet throughout is to he made and
u widening up to 1917 feet in the south
section and the cutting Of an appro-
pirate number of sidings ON the north
and central sections where minimum
width of l47 feet inches is believed to
be sufficient. The company has power
to raise bonds up to $30,O0O,000 for this
work, which it is expected will be
completed by 1919.

THE COST OF SMOKE.

For the benefit of any who may not see the
analogy between robbed coal pile and a smoking
chimney, it may be briefly and simply explained.
The visible part i'll smoke is nearly all carbon,
either as SCOT or cndcr and carbon is the principal
combustibe part of coal, l. e., the useful part the
part capable of yielding heat. Carbon completely
burned forms an invisible gas, carbon dioxide,
therefore, whenever the gases from stack show
black they contain carbon, which indicates that
complete combustion has not taken place i'll the
boiler furnace In other words, all of the available
heat in the coal has not been realized. 1t is the
same as though the corresponding part of the coal
fed into the furnace had been thrown away for,
although it has passed through the furnace it has
been thrown away up the stack beyond recovery.
Is this then so very different from robbing the
coal pcg
The owner who, through ignorance, allows con-
ditons to exist which are not favorable to the most
economical operation of his boiler furnaces al
though he is nwittngly robbing himself is never
theless stealing from his own coal pile.-Power.

MISLEADING COMPARATIVE
MUNICIPAL STATISTICS

In discussing the ACCESSIBILITY Of municipal own
ership for community, much prominence is usual
ly given to what is being done elsewhere, says the
Sandusky, Ohio, Register. 1t is common failing
in towns both large and small and it is the most
misleading thing that could be done 1t is almost
impossible for the person non-cOnversant with the
operation of public utilities to make fair com
parison. In most it is impossible for even an
expert to do so. Price of coal tax rate, even the
width Of streets and house lots original cost of
the plant, interest rates cost of waterfall these
and a thousand other items each have hearing on
rates and service

question was one of the old Fashioned

wherever seen. One fly killed today
