NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Disruption

CHESAPEAKE AND DELAWARE
TO BE SEA LEVEL CANAL

Printed specifications have been
received at the United States Engin-
GERS Office, Wilmington, for complet-
ing the work of dredging the vChes-
apeake and Delaware Canal to
depth of rs feet. Approximately
100000 cubic yards of material are
ito be removed and new entrances
dug at Delaware City and Chesa-
peake City. The canal has been di-
Eided into -four sections, designated
as section A, B, G, and D. The work
to be done under the new specifica-
tions is to excavate insectlons A. B
and D a channel which, when the
water level in the canal shall have
been lowered to sea level, will pro-
vide navigable channel having
depth of IL feet below mean low
water and "a bottom width of 80 it,,
with approaches having a bottom
width Of $50 feet.
Important changes in the plans
for construction of bridges across
the canal have been announced. They
will be much larger than first plan
ned. The openings of four Of the six
bridges at the Delaware entrance
below Delaware City, St. Georges
and Summit, Del. and Bethel, Md.
will be ITS feet each, instead of LIS
as first proposed. The opening of the
bridge at Chesapeake City, the larg-
est structure along the canal, will be
approximately $50 feet. ALL of these
five bridges will be of the vertical
lift type, uniformly. The sixth bridge
in Delaware City will be of the bas-
cube type. It will have an opening
of about so feet. The canal that now
runs through Delaware City will be-
retained for smaller craft, larger
bridge at this place, therefore, not
being needed. i,
In addition to the above structures
all of which will be built by the
Government at cost of from ST.
100000 to $2,000,O00, seventh bridge
will be constructed by the Pennsyl-
vanIa Railroad for its crossing be-
tween st. Georges and Summit. The
Improvement has been decided on in
order to provide for any future en-
iMgement Of the canal.
The vertical-lift bridges will be
lifted to maximum height of las
feet, 10 feet higher than BROOKLYN
Bridge. The ship canal will be a
sea-aevel project wholly, and will
therefore not have locks. This will
necessltate unusually deep founda-
lions for all the bridges.

George Macaulay Trevelyan, author
Of an old book about the Italian pa
triot, tells this story about his love Of
animals:
"The tenderest Of the brave, he took
thought not only for men and women,
but for the joys and sufferings of an
imals. Ever since the day when, as a
child, he had cried oyer the wound
ed grasshopper. he was brother to ev-
cry living thing. He could not endure
that bird should be Gagged, nor allow
an animal to be struck in his presence.
1t panied him even to see flowers
plucked, or bough wantonly broken.
During his dictatorship in Naples,
In 1860, he spent, In trying to remedy
the condition Of the cab-horses, much
time which others thought he should
have given to tasks Of government in
time Of crisis; and in the following
year, when he was the most famous
man in Europe, he thought 1t natural
to go out at night in the rain to seek
strayed lamb among the rocks and
brushwood Of Caprera."

dition Is best cured by ceasing to ex-
hibit the baby's accomplishments to
admiring friends.
This does not preclude the occasional
skillful quiet fondling of baby by it's
mother or nurse. In this atmosphere
the baby thrives. No one should kiss,
the baby on-its mouth, nor should he be
handled for anyone's amusement.
\ Playthings.
A VARIETY of toys is unnecessary.
The baby is just as happy with one
simple toy as with many complicated
ones. Only those which can be cleaned
should be selected.
A pacifier should never be used. 1t
cannot be kept clean, it deforms the
arch of the mouth, and inteEferes with
the regularity of the teeth, probably
promotes the development OF adenoids,
produces drooling, and its use is alto
gether i'll advised.
Thumb or finger sucking is habit
easily acquired and difficult to break.
This habit has many of the bad con-
sequences that follow the use of the
pacifer. The earlier the habit is
broken, the easier it will be. Splints
may be applied at the elbows so that the
arm cannot be bent, or the arms may be
pinned to the sides so that they can
not be raised. Attention and per-
sistence from the beginning will always
succeed in overcoming this bad habit.
Training OF The Bowels!
TT is remarkable how early in life
baby can be trained to have move
ment regularly each day. He should be
taken up early in the morning after his
first feeding and placed upon a vessel.
1t may be necessary for the first few
days to use soap stick, but if this
habit is conscientiously carried out
often after a month ..ef.- two,.ia well
baby may be trained not to soil his
napkin, with the result of great
saving in laundry.
Training of The Bladder.
THIS is matter of habit which is
acquired later in infancy. 1t is
brought about by the frequent use of
the vessel and the avoidance Of heavy
material for the napkins which make
the baby's buttOcks too warm, and by
the change from napkins to drawers
at as early date as practicable. If
the training of the bladder is not under
taken, bed wetting may persist for
months and even years with great an
noyance to all concerned.
Crying.
THE mother soon learns to distinguish
the cry of pain from that of fret
fitness or habit. Crying is natural
expression of baby. Many babies cry
to be taken up. One should be sure
that he is not hungry or thirsty; that
he is dry and comfortable; that he is
not ill, and if no cause for crying can
be found, it is better to leave him
alone Under these circumstances he
will not do himself any harm by crying.

a tea kettle. The effect is increased by
having the steam introduced under a
tent placed over the child. The impor-
tant thing to remember is that attacks
which begin so suddenly are rarely
really dangerous, and are to be sharply
distinguished from diphtheritic con-
ditiOn.
Commissions.
THE CONFUSION is another condition
which terrifies mothers, but usually
is not serious. Commissions which ap-
pear in child who has been previously
healthy are usually due to undigested
food in the intestine. They occur also
in children frequently at the beginning
of any acute disease with fever. Before
the doctor comes, the child should be
given hot bath and cold application
placed on the baby's head. 1t should
be kept as quiet as possible until the
arrival of the doctor. If there is any
reason to believe that the convulsion is
due to indigestion, an enema may be
given and dose of castor oil.

Collie.
CUDDEN abdominal pain (colic) 10
~ not infrequent IN Infants and young
children, especially in those who are
improperly fed or who have developed
indigestion. The pain is usually due to
pressure of gas in the bowels. Holding
the baby over the shoulder with warm
hot-water bottle pressed against its abb
domen or gentle massage of the abdo-
men will help him to remove the gas
from the stomach. A little hot water
and a pinch of baking soda may also as
sist. The gas lower down In the bowels
is best removed by an injection of warm
water. 1t is important that the baby
should be kept warm.
Swallowing Foreign Bodies.
INFANTS and young children fire.
i quently put small objects in their
mouth, and occasionally swallow them.
Usually the article is passed through
the intestine without causing any dam
age. Many times mothers fear that GER
tain objects have been swallowed. They
are often mistaken. In nearly all in
stances there is no reason for alarm,
and the safest thing to do is simply
watch the child to see that no symp-
toms develop. The movement should be
examined for the appearance of the OBJ
ject swallowed. OF course, if it is feared
that poison has been swallowed, the
baby's stomach should be emptied by CIV
ing .teaspoonful of syrup of ipecae and
an abundance of warm water. In any
case, the doctor should be summoned at
once.

i should be under the care Of ply
stefan throughout it's entire illness.
There are so many possible complica-
tions that may arise that no one but
physician should properly assume the
responsibility in illness. There are,
however. certain general arrangements
that should be made by the mother in
the care of sick child.
The SickrOOm.
THE si"kroom should be quiet and well
ventilated. There should be Their
mometer near the bed, and the tempera-
ture of the room should be kept at a
point directed by the-doctor. The sick
room should not be gathering place for
the family or neighbors. This practice
is disturbing to the patient and helps to
spread a communicable disease. The
mother should accustOm herself to the
use of clinical thermometer under the
doctors orders. A child who has a
temperature of 99.5 degrees should be
kept in bed, and in case the illness has
been at all severe he should remain in
bed several days after his temperature
has become normal. This practice will
prevent many dangerous consequences.
Ally child whose temperature is over
1O1 needs a doctor promptly.
Written Record.
TT is well for the mother to keep a
i written record of the patient, in
Guiding the temperature taken two or
three times a day, the regularity of the
respirations, presence of cough, sleep,
pain and the general appearance of the
child. She should also record the
amount of food and water taken, num-
Der and character of the stools, the
amount of urine, presence of vomiting
or any unusual symptom. A specimen
of the stool and urine should be saved
for inspection by the doctor.
If there is fever, bath at about no
degrees Fahrenheit may be given once
or twice a day. If the hands and feet
are cold, hot-water bottles may be used.
In acute illness the food should be re.
duced. Water should be- given freely,
and the amount Of urine voided re-
corded. In hot weather where there is
vomiting and diarrhea all food should
be withheld until the arrival OF the
doctor. Fhe result of treatment OF an
III baby depends more upon the nursing
care and skillful handling than is the
casein the care OF sick adilts.
A few general considerations may be
In order concerning certain conditions
which alarm parents and sometimes
come on suddenly before a doctor can
be reached.
