out and insisted on the pilots to take
ttem out, regardless of the roughness

out, but they had not motored far into
the bay before the fans sung out
enough, let's go back to harbor.
Many of them then concluded to go
up Murderkill River and try the small
fish and those who went returned
with a good supply of catfish, perch
and cells.
Those who came from a distance,
especially from Pennsylvania, Mary

tions for future visits and promised to

The oyster dredging boats are all

oysters have made wonderful growth
and are in splendid condition for use,
as such can be attested by the suckers
here who furnish them oysters for
their trade.

RED SEA SLAVE TRAFFIC
 STOPPED BY WARSHTPS
English Navy Has Been Engaged For Past Two Years in Suppress
 ing Human Race

London, Nov. Is. Although the slave trade is commonly supposed to have been suppressed all over the world, two British warships. the Gel matis and the Cornfower, have been engaged in suppressing this traffic in the Red Sea for the last two years Not only have they succeeded in stopping most of the Red Sea slave trade, but they have also stopped gun-runnfng which was occasionally attempted.
 High prices are paid for slaves in this part of the world, who are gen. erally captured from the coastal tribes and sold to the Arabs, who take their victims inland.
 A communication from a member of the crew of the Celmatis tells an interesting story:
 We had spent period of two years in the Red Sea-" he says. wit messing very varied scenes of tropical life. and experiencing the almost in- tolerable heat of two summers. The duties of the two Red Sea sloops are primarily to frustrate the diabolical bartering of humans which unfor- tunately still continues to much larger extent than one is led to be- lieye.
 'On one occasion a dhow was de- tained which had been thus trading, but 1t is to be regretted that the oc- cupants successfully evaded capture, and carried away with them the gold they had received for their slaves.
 Tt was however, an exciting incl dent. for when we first tried to board they opened fire on our whalers. This necessitated the latter returning to the ship and we eventually fired about eight rounds at the escaping crew
 An another occasion a dhow was captured full of slaves, boys and girls between the ages of seven and r.
 Tt was heartrendering to stand by and see the hungry mites ravenously attack the bread we gave them. The dhow crew endeavored to escape by jumping overheard and swimming ashore. but were successfully cap tured. and hopes are entertained that they got their full deserts"

CHICAGO DRAINAGE CANAL


The Chicago Drainage Canal ranks
well to the fore among the great en-
cheering feats OF modern times.
The purpose OF its construction was
twofold. Primarily TO purify Chicago's
supply Of drinking water. which Is OBJ
talned from Lake Michigan. by revers-
ing che flow Of the Chicago river so
that the sewage from the city. instead
OF being dumped into the lake, would
be carried of into the Des PLANES riv-
er which In turn empties into the I'LL
nols river. Ultimately, 70 provide a
ship canal from Lake Michigan TO the
Gulf OF Mexico.
Commenced in September. 1892, and
formally opened In January, 1900. this
so-called canal Is approximately forty
miles In length, has a minimum depth
Of twenty-five feet, varies in width
from 100 TO 300 feet at the top, and has
a capacity OF about 100000 cubic feet
OF water per minute.
Four major operations were In
volved In this huge task. First, the
Chicago river had 10 be both widened
and deepened for more than Ave miles I;
next the digging Of canal for twenty
eight miles; then the river had 20 be
diverted from the old 10 the new chan
mel and finally the building Of a tail
race and a new channel for seven
miles.
Grave fears were entertained By
many that the cities past which this
diverted sewage must flow and which
obtained their supplies Of drinking wa
ter from this stream would be visited
by an epidemic OF water-borne diseases,
particularly typhoid Again the CUES
ton as to whether the taking OF suf-
ncient water from Lake Michigan TO
flush the canal would adversely affect
the interests Of the states and cities
bordering on the lake. through the low.
ering Of the surface OF the water In
the lake. and In turn interfere with
the navigabIe capacity Of the rivers
which flow into the lake. was long and
seriously discussed
But scientific examination and inves-
tigation failed to substantiate the
threatened dangers from disease; the
imagined damage to the navigation In

failed 20 materislIze.
That Chicago has benefited immeas-
ursbly from a sanitary standpoint
there IL not the question Of q doubt,
according to the reports OF the health
department. When the locks In the
Des PLANES and Illinois rivers. which
connect the canal with the Mississippi
river are increased In size and the
