data on the waterway is of interest
now that Governor Small has author
lied additional contracts SO that tn,
work will progress.
With the completion of the water
way fleets of barges can operate di
rect from Chicago to New Orleans
carrying manufactured articles and
grain from the Great Lakes to tht
Gulf at considerable saving under
the freight rates. and bringing back
sugar. coffee, rice lumber and Other
products.
Barges of 1000 tons capacity
could operate in fleets of nine 10
each tug, the locks being sufficient
size to handle 1900 tons of freight
at time-about ten average train
loads OF freight by railway.
Five Ail.Year Fleets.
Five such fleets can be kept busy
the year around bringing sugar north
from New Orleans.
The opening of this waterway will
automatically abolish the pittsburgh
plus differential on steel shipped to
the SOUTH" because the Chicago and
Joliet steel mills can ship by barge
far cheaper than the Pittsburgh
plants.
There will be but five locks be-
tween Chicago and New Orleans.
when the work is completed All
existing locks in the lower Illinois
will be abolished.
There are fifty.four locks, between
Pittsburgh and New Orleans, all in
the Ohio river. The lost time in the
Ohio will leave Pittsburgh at a dis.
advantage.
600 Foot Locks.
The FIVE locks will each be 110I
feet wide and 600 feet long. Their
width will be the same as that of
the Panama canal locks. while two
will exceed the far famed Gatun and
Mirahores locks in their lifting ca
pacity.
One, the Lockport lock, which will
connect the waterway with the thir.
ty'seven mile drainage canal to Chi.
cago, will have a lift of forty-one

OF the Panama locks at mean tide.
The Brandon roads locks, three |

The Bells Island lock, practically
completed. has twenty-one foot lift.
Pnd the fifth lock, at Starved Rock
will take care of the remaining thir.

(, The total drop from La Michigan
TO the water level at La Sale is 139
feet, but sixteen feet is taken up by
the fall of the river between the
locks.
. Between the locks the channel will
have minimum width of $50 feet
on the bottom and 200 feet at the
surface, with a minimum depth of
nine feet. The locks are so designed
that the depth can later be increased
to fourteen feet.

RACED LIKE THE GREYHOUND
Botafogo, Most Famous Horse Of
Argentina, Was Known to Turf
Followers Throughout World.

The most famous race horse that
the fine studs of Argentina ever bred
was probably Botafogo for he was
renowned among turf followers the
world over He died near Mar del
Plata a short time ago, being only
eight years old Not particularly
fortunate in his parcntage, as great
racers usually are, he nevertheless be
came a phenomenon Of the track Al
two Years he sold for $25OU at auc-
ton although he was never good
looking.
When he raced the horse stretched
himself out like a greyhound. He
made his debut in 1917 and all the
classics fell before his amazing
speed one day when he was not in
form and lost to Gray Fox the event
was regarded in Argentina as quite
u national catastrophe. In Subse-
Quout revenge race" he defeated his
conqu"ror with perfect ease before
the greatest crowd that ever assem-
hIed ut the Palermo tracks.

TO MAR ST. MICHEL'S BEAUTY
Sitting Up Of the Bay Is Causing
Much Anxiety to the People
Of Normandy.

The steady sitting up of the Bay Of
st Michel is a cause of much anx-
iety to the good people of Normandy.
II threatens to spoil the beauty OF the
famous Mont st. Michels, which at
present is linked to the mainland only
by an artificial causeway. Formerly
the Mont, which In the course Of the
centuries has been by turns a Druid
ical shrine, Benedlctine abbey and
state prison and wh!oN. c'r1e its
restoration by Violet-le-Duc, is jea-
Iously preserved as an historical
monument, was as inaccessible at
nigh tide, except by boat, as its Corn
lsh counterpart st. Mlchaels Mount
Still Is. But the causeway enabled
light railway to run to the very foot
OF the Mont, and this causeway Is
stated by experts to be one of the
great causes Of the sitting MP. which
II is predicted, will eventually make
the Mont just part of the ordinary
cOastline.

Power in Silence.

The proper value Of the power of
silence is probably best expressed in
the scriptural reference to the vari-
Gus commissions Of nature. the wind
and the earthquake followed by the
still small voice Coming down to a
more recent period and a less re-
nowned authority, we are reminded
Of the man who advised his son to
keep his mouth shut 50 that people
would not know he was fool This
advice is still good for the great ma
jority. Astronomy is said to be one
of the best means of teaching the in
dividual his relative unimportance in
the universe Of matter. but to be left
alone far from any human habita-
ton, in a vast silence will probably
accomplish the same.

LETTERS FROM RUSSIA
 CARRIES MANY STAMPS

CHAUNCEY, Ohio, June 26.-Her- man Luckoff, local merchant, has received a letter from his aged father in the Russia Crimea which is at tracting much attention.
 To the back of the envelope is at tached a great square of stamps, each marked 1000 rubles." There are thirty of these stamps. In the olden days there stamps would have been valued at $16,O00 in American money.
 "We can earn millions of dubles daily for our labor" wrote the elder Luckoff to his son, 'but it will not buy anything. Forty pounds of flour cose 100000 rubles in Soviet money One cannot get the flour It is not to be had"
 The elder Luckoff wrote that So- viet printing presses are working night and day turning out money for the peasants. Gold and silver, he said, are rarely seen.
