GUINEA, Va, June Napoleon
Bickelman, the Union soldier who
fought with the 96th Pennsylvania
Volunteers during the Civil War, and
three years ago painted picture of
Gen. "StoneWall" Jackson. visited the
Jackson shrine here this week and for
the first time saw his gift adjoining the
walls in the house in which Gen. jack
son died. Next to the bed in which the
famous Southern general expired, this
gift is one of the most interesting ex-
hibitS in the house.
Mr. Bickelman was wounded at
Charlottesville on the same day on
which Stonewall Jackson received his
mortal wounds. Ever since the war the
Northern soldier, who halls from Read
ing, Pa, has had the greatest admira-
ton for the Southern leader, and in
1927 at the age of SO years, decided to
paint a picture of Jackson. He per-
formed this artistic tribute splendidly
in spite of the fact that he has one

we'll out of the other. His labor of
esteem finished, he sent it to the
Daughters of the Confederacy, it was
accepted and soon found its way to the
Jaskson shrine here.
The Pennsylvania signed the register
here this week as IS years old. He
greatly enjoyed visiting the shrine and
recalled many incidents in the fighting
at Charlottesville. Before he started
painting the picture he read every
thing he could find on the life and milf
tary career of Gen. Jackson. In all
his study, he said, he had the greatest
difficulty in finding an accurate state
ment regarding the color of Jackson's
hair. Brief references. however, led
him to paint it a dark brown. The
photograph from which he made the
painting is now in the house here.
Bickelman attended the G.. A. R
exercises in the National Cemetery at
Fredericksburg on Memorial day and
hopes to come here again next year.

, foundations and into the sides of Black canyon, which is to be the actual site of the dame.
 In the fourth year the excavations will be completed and then the first concrete will be thrown into the foundations of the dam itself.
 The best of Americas engineers are agreed that there is nothing of q dangerous nature involved in the building of Bould 1T Dam and that the plan is quite within the limits of what is considered feasible.
 5000 Workers Needed
 The controlling construction fac tor however, is the cramped quar- ters at the bottom of the canyon. It is estimated that about 150 engi- neers and perhaps 5000 other work CTS will be used on the job.
 The plan is to lower and lift these men in huge elevators for a distance of at least 1000 feet and the installation of these elevators will itself be a spectacular piece of engineering. The workers will live in a model government town on the Nevada side, about q mile from tho dam site.
 The river rises every summer and after the tunnels are built the en- gineers must get ;n and build their cofferdams high enough to divert the waters before they get into the

feet with cheap water. The me- jor section of this aqueduct will be open canal and the rest part tunnel and part pipe line.
 5,O00,000 Authorized
 Congress has authorized ap- propriation of S165,00O, ,000 for the Boulder Dam job and Secre- tary of the Interior Wilbur is en- gagged in getting contracts for the sale of power sufficient for amortization of the cost. AS soon IS Congress actually appropriates some money, as it will doubtless do at its next regular session, the reclamation engineer expect to be ready to start work on the rail road.
 Reclamation engineers have been the leaders in dam building in this country ever since they put up Roosevelt Dam. 190 feoi high. More recently they built Arrowlock Dam, at 349 feet.
 The actual height of Boulder Dam will be nearly 700 feet and it will raise the water $50 feet A great lake, many miles long, will back up behind the massive barrier.

 Washington, Aug. 30-The hui!G- ing of Boulder Dam on the Colorado river on the Nevada-Ari border, which will be the highest dam in the world and for which congress has authorized S1G5, ,000, Wll: require seven years.
 Four of those years will be de- voted to the preparations necessary before the erection of the dam it. self can begin.
 Congress is expected to make the first appropriation this fall 90 the gigantic task can be started in the near future.
 Preliminaries af almost prodigious scope are now being planned by the engineers of the federal reclama- tion service in the interior depart nlent in their tentative sevcn-y9lr program.
 . In the first year they will con- struct fl miles of railway from Las Vegas, N. M., over which they wi! transport the personnel and an enor- nous amount of machinery and material They will also start on the temporary power plant to be used for the dam operations.
 Four-NIiIe Long Tunnels
 In the secon1 year they will be- gin the four great tunnels, go feet in diameter and mile long. through solid rock, which will serve as d. version channels for the Colorado river during the construction period In this year they will also start on two high cofferdams one above anu one below the dam site, and design ed similarly for protection from tn" river.

WHAT PASSENGERS
 DID ABOARD GRAF
One Made Maps, Leeds Played
 GraphOphone, All Thrilled

New York, Aug. 30 (UP)-A GO year old retired Swiss army officer came back to New York yesterday after flight around the world on the Graf Zeppelin and proudly an- nounced that 40 years had been lifted from his life by the eXhilara- ton of the flight.
 He was but one of the interest ing stories told by the returning just what the passengers did while the Graf Zeppelin sailed over the sparsely settled wastes of Siberia. over the Atlantic and Pacific, over mountain ranges and fiatlands.
 That too was answered:
 One man made small maps of the country he passed over
 Another-wealthy William B. Leeds of New York-played the gramophone.
 A kings physician sought con- stantly for a thrill and claimed he found it in the historic voyage.
 Feels Young Again
 It. Col. Chrlstoph lselin, the re- tired Swiss officer, was as jubilant as a boy when he told of the flight and how it had lifted the years from his life.
 "I feel sure the next few years will see a great amount of the worlds passenger and freight traf- fife carried by dirigibles. They are especially useful in countries like my own Switzerland, for we have no harbors,' Iselin said.
 "The greatest thrill of the trip for me came in Siberia. After We had travelled over the wastes for two days without sighting a soul, we spied a little shack and outside it was a man wildly waving greet ings."
 William E. Leeds, of New York said he played the gramaphone whenever somebody else didn't"
 He said he enjoyed the trip inn mensely and admitted that he did mt cut his face "any more than usual" while shaving.
 Sir Hubert Wilkins, the explorer, said he enjoyed the trip but was glad it's over.'

 Drill Through Solid Rock

Those tunnels through the walls of the canyon, running parallel with ly circular with a 50-foot diameter. tke stream bed, will be approximate They must be drilled and blasted out of the solid rock and their capacity is designed to carry as big flood as ever came down the Colorado They vii be lined with concrete, for after the dam is built two of them will function as permanent spill ways and the other two will carry water under full reserved pressure for Boulder Dams big permanent power plant. A network of smaltcr tunnels will also be dug out tor pow CT water.
 The upper cofferdam, of course. will divert the waters of the river into the tunnels. The lower coffer- dam will be designed to keep them from backing up into the excavation and building operations, for behind it the engineers will be digging down a couple of hundred feet to find the dam foundation.
 The proposed 41-mile railroad would tap some of the nearby gravel deposits and quarry sites About halfway from Yas Vegas # would fork, one branch going to the top of the site and the other to- ward the bottom. The so-called res- idence level above the dam is about 1900 feet higher than the bottom of the lowest excavation. Latest in formation is that the railroad plan will be definitely adopted, though an aerial tramway, suspended cn cables, has been suggested.
 Although al these prelimlnarics are essential and require great eX- pense and labor. the biggest single item of the job is the concrete for the dam. It is estimated shat 3,- 500,000 cubic yards of concrete ard 4,000,0o0 barrels of cement will De used 10 build Boulder Dam to its elevation of 1900 feet.
 In Thre Big Projects
 There are three main projects In the general program:
 1. The dam and reservoir. ?. The power plant-a million horsepower development.
 3. The all-American canal. The first is expected to cost about $70.000,000 and the other two about S40,ooO,000 apiece.

 H. Von Perkhammer. German commercial photographer, returned with more than 900 exposed mega tives. He recalled that the Graf Zeppelin started it's aerial trip across Siberia 39 years to the day after he began his first rail journey across the same territory.
 Gustav Kauder of the German Ullstein syndicate said that the Graf's voyage had provided a splen- did trip.

 RosendahI Outlets Fears
 Lieut.. Commander Rosendahl of the United States navy who was q passenger aboard the craft mini mixed the pc. ible dangers Of lightning to dirigible, even though inflated with explosive hydrogen.
 Only one dirigible accident has been directly traced to lightning. Rosendahl said, and that accident was charged to human frailty.
 Dr. G. Megias, personal physician of King Alfonso and head of the Institute Llorente of Madrid, said he had searched the world for a thrill and I got it on the Zeppelin's trip"
 Dr. Megias revealed that King Alfonso was intensely interested in the Graf's flight, and had received two messages daily from the phys- elan advising of progress and incl dents aboard. The Spanish mon arch radioed felicitations and con gratulations to Commander Ecken- CT yesterday in one of his numer- ous messages, Dr. Megias an nounced.

Paris, Aug. 30 Pl-Seldom has man met death as did Dr. Pierre Andre Marie. scientist of the Pas teur institute. this summer.
 He died of botulism poisoning one of the rarest and most deadly of diseases. This infection some times comes from preserved food. After four years experimenting in search of an antidote, Dr. Marie got the bacilli in his eye while per forming. a laboratory experiment.
 Up to the hour before death when he lost consciousness, he de- scribed to attending physicians every symptom and reaction that he felt, giving them the most com- plete record yet made. When paral- ysis closed his eyes, he begged them to raise the lids so that he might look at the blue discoloration of his fngernails-sig of the ap- proach of the crisis.
