LIGHTED LIFE BELT IN FORM OF LADDER
Ship Really Climbs on Its Pas.
sage Through Locks.
Economical Device Where Waterway
Has to Be Cut Through High
country-superiority Over
Tide-Water System.

1t is fact that a ship really climbs
a ladder.
Each step in the ladder is a small,
lock in which the ship can float. To
begin the ascent pair of gates al
the bottom Of the ladder Is opened
and the ship sails in. Then the low.
est gates are shut and more water
is allowed to go into this lock, or
dock. where the ship is.
When the water in this lock is .eye,
with the water in the upper lock, an.
other set OF gates Is opened and the
ship sails into the second lock. The
gates are then shut. and when the
water has been allowed to flow into
the second lock, in which the shin
now is, other gates are opened. And
so on the ship goes up the ladder.
If it were not eor the system OF
locks, which may be really called ship.
ladders. the canal would need to be
cut very. very deep where It goes
through high country, so that the sur.
face OF the water would be on the
same level throughout the entire
length Of the canal. But with locks
the cutting of canal Is much easier
and cheaper
1t was for this reason that the Pan.
anna canal was designed and construct.
ed as lock canal, although many en-.
gineers favored the tide-water or non.
lock as the better system. 1t is
claimed that the slides which have
already caused thousands of dollars in
damage to the canal would have been
ia worse had the channel been cut TO-
depth which would have directly
connected the two oceans.

How flies and mosquitoes carry dis.

the exhibit on hygiene and sanitation
made recently by the colo;ed pupils

The models in this were made by

how children may aid In keeping com.
munities in which they live clean and

models displayed. One OF the points
of interest about this part of the quad
ruplex exhibit was that the cost Of
the material used was but slight Old
boxes, pasteboard. clay and illustra.

used to good purpose. Miss Jessie

rected the students Students taking
the domestic science course under
Miss Helen Irving compiled exhibits
showing the various uses to which cot
ton is put, as well as it's by products.
From the raw material to various
finished products was shown through
actual material and pictures, not only
of cotton, but also of linen, wool,
hemp, ramie, jute and silk. So far as
is possible material and information
furnished was used. The students
made crayon pictures, showing various
nutritive materials and units contained
in the ordinary foods. Some of the
most modern pieces of apparatus were
on display in the laboratories under
Charles M. Thomas, who has charge
OF the sciences in the school. The
equipment for psychology tests is up
to the minute" and serves double
purpose-for instructing the embryo
teachers in psychology and how they
can best teach those who come under
them, and for carrying on psycholog-
ical experiments, particularly with de-
fective children. Although the material
used in the science department is al
ways out, being in constant use, it is
attracting wider attention now than
ordinarily, in connection with the 9TH
er exhibits. Teachers attending va
rious Institutes recently have in.
spected It, and had its used explained
to them by Mr. Thomas.

GREAT OFFENSIVE
WAS PART OF PLAN
OF FRENCH LEADER
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, July 4.-Major General
F. B. Maurice, director of operations
of the imperial staff, today said that
the great Anglo-French offensive un-
der way was part of the general
plan of the allies and was scheduled
to begin on July l. He said it was
planned with the Russians and Ital-
ians offensive already under way.
Speaking of the criticisms directed
at the British for not going to the
aid of the French at Verdun, he said
that was part of General Joffre's
scheme. He indicated that the
French, for tactical reasons, did not
want to lose the east bank of the
Mouse and Joffre said they could
hold it until the end of June, hence
the offensive was delayed until all
preparations were completed.

THRILLING RESCUE
THE SWAN S CREW

Hundreds of persons along
the water front Wednesday af-
ternoon witessed what might
have be termed the thrilling
rescue of three men from the
Swan, wich capsized. They
were C. Nicholson, J. F. Viii
iams and Arthur Burlison.
They remained with their boat
to the last, fighting to hold her
to the wharf. For hours they
remained, but at length the
Swan, when the lines parted,
suddenly veered over and came
athwart the bows of the steam
tug Okoloosa, which was lying
in the slip.
Fearfully hois ted up and
down by the waves, the upper
works of the Swan, began to
crumble The Swans crew leaned out as
far as possible and we're grasped by men
on the Okaloosa and drawn to safety
Crash after crash followed the Swans rise
and fall, and at length, water flowing into
the hole made in her side, caused the Swan
to sink lower and lower, finally going owe
, on her side. Later, the overturned boa
drifted up into the slip, and when darl
ness came, she was between the OkOloos
: and the Tarpon, on either side of the sli
between Palafox and Central wharves.
