FUTURE HIDDEN FROM CLAY.

Could the shade of Henry Clay, reused from the
slumbers of more than threescore years by the
pandemonum as 100 engineers tied down their
whistle cords and shriled forth exultant shrieks,
have trod the atmospheric space from his haunts
in the Blue Grass country to Sault Ste. Marie

the newly finished engineering feat spread out be-
fore his astonished gaze he would have been
forced to admit that his declaration back in 1910
was at least shortsghted.
ut is a work quite beyond the remotest settle
ment of the United States, II not in the moon."
said Henry Clay on that memorable occasion.
when by the power of his slver-tongued oratory
he influenced the congress of the United States to
defeat measure by which canal could be dug
around ST. Mary's falls.
He was believed, and the project that now in
finished form ranks In world Importance far great

than the Panama canal, condemned as i'm.

congress saw its mistake and yielded to the per-
s,lasion of influential citizens Of Michigan ami
New York to grant an appropriation OF land
whereby the state of Michigan could finance the

How English Aviator Exercised

a story of an aviator who did that ut the cost of

told the observer so, and the two men-the OBJ

to watch and wait with the hope that British
patrol boat would come along and pick them up.
The night came on and the young observer fell

listened all the night through In the morning
the fog lifted and the observer looking out over
the waters, caught sight of little black smudge

Suddenly someone cried "The pin has come
out!'
Whether Mackenzie had been in some other
part of the ship until that moment, or whether
he had been standing with the others staring in
hopeless wonder and was only aroused by the
cry reports do not say. But 1t Is recorded that
less than second after the shout was raised the
plucky Yankee boatswain's mate dashed down the
deck and flung himself the rolling bomb, much
after the fashion that football players throw
themselves the ball.
Three times he had his arms about It, but each
time 1t tore away, once almost crushing him as
the roll of the ship hurled it upon him. The
fourth time, however. he got firm hold on 1t,
and with almost superhuman effort heaved 1t up
right on one fiat end. Then Mackenzie sat down
on the deadly charge-though even in that po-
stion the bomb might have exploded and blown
him to atoms--and succeeded in holding 1t until
lines could be run to him and the charge dashed
safely to the deck.

report recommending that the medal Of honor be
conferred on Mackenzie. says
Mackenzie In acting he did, exposed his
life and prevented a serious accident and prob

the depth charge exploded on the quarterback

there is no doubt that the ship would have been
lost"
