Novel Craft.

In the harbor of Port Weller. the
Ontario entrance of the Welland ship
canal, says the Engineering News, the
surveying staff use a fat-bottomed
boat that can lift itself clear Of the
water 1t is drill boat or sounding
scow, of catamaran model. built parti,
cularly for the work Of finding the
elevation of the rock that underlies
the bottom of the river. In order to
have steady platform on which TO
work during rough weather, the sur,
veyors had the scow made with q slot
at each corner through which a very
heavy spud or post can be raised OF
lowered. The lifting mechanism con-
sists of a wheel on top of each post,
over which a wire cable passes from
the side of the scow to an individual
engine. When the scow heaves anu
sways in the water too much, work
men start the four engines. and pres
emily the scow is standing firm, with
it's four stout legs on the bottom OF the
river.

When Man "eoes West.n

A soldier writing from the trenches
asks what Is the meaning of the sol
diers curious phrase for death, 60
ing West" Can any reader suggest
an answer to this question? Is 1t sol
der slang, or is 1T phrase that has
grown up during the present war?
If a poetical explanation were permits
sible, the metaphor would be obvious.
AS the sun goes west so life travels
to its end. Henley put the thought In
some Of his finest lines
Let me be gathered to the quiet west,
The shutdown splendid and serene-death.
Diminishing that symbolical inter-
probation, one can only guess that the
phrase comes from America or the
colonies. 1t is possible, though, we new
er heard Of It in the eastern states of
America, that going West" may be
slang phrase for dying, being con-
sidered from an eastern point of view
as an equal misfortune. One has to
remember that in this war America,
Australia and India are all making
contributions of men and along with
them contributions of slang.-Man-

sented at Malecon, the capitals famed
drive and promenade along the sea
wall. In the daytime the chairs which
one rents for a small sum at night
are free. Theaters also are open In
the evening, and the ubiquitous NOV.
ing picture houses are also in opera
ton.
Havana is city of plazas, prom.
enades, colonnaded buildings, churches
and palaces. 1t is all very European
and yet there is just a touch that
makes the American feel that while
he is in a strange country he is at
home and among friends. Sugar is
the islands greatest commodity. The
cane once planted continues for near
ly score of years to give three good
crops of cane each year. 1t is now
possible for the tourist to visit the
sugar country from Havana, and the
railway also will take him into the
heart of the Vuelta Abajo country
in Pinar del Rio province, where the
finest cigar tobacco in the world, the
kind that goes into the real Habana,
is grown.
All of Cuba is enhancing in the ro-
mantle and entirely foreign landscape
it presents wherever one goes. The
trips from Havana are almost illimit-
able. The island has several good
railroad systems, and almost every
part of 1t that is likely to prove inter
esting to tourist is tapped by one
or another of the transportation COM
panies.

nered, kills policeman and Is himself
killed. Enough of adventure, excite
ment and tragedy to last a lifetime
crowded into few hours, with MUIR
der at the end. But what for? The
chances of the man getting away were
so remote that only fool would have
undertaken the job. The next day 1t
Is In Kansas City. Two men rob a
shopkeeper of diamonds and money
and try to escape by running through
crowded streets, a-silly and futile
thing to undertake. The end of their
folly will be years and years of hard
work, hard living, lonesomeness and
heartbreaking monotony in prison.
The man who undertakes to live by
his wits, to get money without work
ing for it, is foreordained to failure.
And yet there are always men start
ing on that road. In general they are
men who failed in youth to learn the
lesson of industry. They got the idea
that the end of life was to get on with
as little effort as possible. The boys
who are spared all work by indulgent
parents, who expect everything to be
done for them and to do nothing for
anybody else, are on the wrong road.

In the architecture new note; but in
the older structures, with which Ha-
vana Is principally furnished, the old
Spanish architecture, with something
added, a something that is found in
the greater part of Spanish-America,
the true, characteristic of the capital
is found The narrow streets, with
their still narrower sidewalks, are
lined with stores or residences of two
stories. The first floor Of the resi-
dences especially is arcaded in front,
and over this extends balcony on
the second floor. 1t is all typical of
the tropics, the streets being too mar
row to permit of awnings, and these
permanent shelters from the suns
rays and from the heavy rains in the
summer, or rainy season, proving
probably more effective and conven-
lent.
The impression that the visitor re-
ceives at once, and the one that he
takes away with him, is that Havana
is beautiful foreign city. There is
an air of comfort and of luxurious in
dolence in the place, but for all that 1t
is now a very busy commercial port,
but the population is not so large as
to crowd the town, and the busy
scenes are chiefly witnessed at the
docks, where ships are being loaded
or unloaded, or at terminals of the
railroads 1t is an admirable place
to take rest or to go sightseeing.
An Evening In Havana.
II you desire to see the inhabitants
of Havana enjoying themselves you
must see them in the evening. Then
the Central park will be filled with
strollers, or with thousands seated on
little chairs which they rent for five
cents Spanish silver. listening to the
concert by either the Municipal band
or the Artillery band, both noted or

after a moment.

and make the other"
Very good. sir. / am glad the af-
fair has been settled without blood

The young chevalier stalked off,
leaving Mr.. Eaton very happy. He
was to secure an introduction to the
sister, which was above all things else
he wished for.
Does your honor demand that you
call there?" asked his sister-in-law.
"Why?"
Because that girl will make you
minute and a half"
But / think she saw the funny side

Then you've got another think COM

Brother and sister were sitting on
the yeranda as Mr.. Eaton drove up
next day. Miss Mabel had been told
of the call and the apologies demand
ed, and what she was most surprised
about was the sensible way that Mr..
Eaton had taken the matter. He mast
have been laughing inwardly all the
time at the young hotspur, but he
had let him down very easy.
When Master Robert had made the
introduction he went away to the
other end of the yeranda, and the
apologist said: II have come to beg
your pardon for my language yester-
day"

1t is no great fault, and as he
grows older he will see things differ

From this they branched off into
a general talk, and at the end of 80
minutes, when the apologist took his
leave he was invited to call again.

- EFORE the Spanish-American
war a visit to Havana, Cuba
was something of an adven
ture, and not altogether safe
one because of the prevalence
of yellow fever But the American
sanitary engineers who followed the
army OF occupation cleaned up the
city and the island, and Havana is
now one Of the most healthful places
in America. In recent. years, too, the
transportation facilities for reaching
the West Indies. have been so revolu-
tionized that the trip no longer re-
quires unusual endurance or courage,
being made easily and speedily in lux
ury.
Though Havana has been to a great
extent Americanized, 1t has not lost
its individual charm. In all the nu-
merous changes that have taken place
in the last dozen years no attempt
has been made to obliterate those
characteristics which were both pic
turesque and innocent. 1t is true

volante, the native carriage, he has
to make request, otherwise he is
more than likely to take a motor
car. AS, generally speaking, the
roads around Havana are good, these
little motor tours are very agreeable.
In this connection it Is useful to know
that one may bring into the island his
own motorcar without paying duty by
giving the necessary bond that it is
not for sale or for rent. Facilities
for storing and running the car are
entirely modern.
Still a Foreign City.
Havana is still foreign city, so far
as the eye discerns; and It may also
be said that it is foreign SO far as
language is concerned. However, the
English-speaking tourist finds no diff

War Stops Imaginary Ills.

A peculiar accompaniment Of the
war Is the reduction in the incomes of
noted English physicians and sur.
geons. Consultants who formerly
made $4,000 year or so. find them
selves earning little or nothing. As a
consequence they are volunteering
their services to the government In
such numbers that the authorities are
barely able to cope with the supply.
The reason for this loss of practice
is said to be that the persons who
cherished imaginary illnesses in times
of peace have forgotten their hypc-
chondria since the war began

oranges which could not have cost
