Berlin.—It is a common belief that water will not run uphill, That this principle is not quite true, or onts conditionally true, is proved by the} fact that an eminent Italian canal engineer, Sig. Pietro Caminada, has | worked out the plan of a canal over the Alps. The Alps are not to be bored by a/| tunnel. The canal is to be carried up to the summit and down the other} side. This sounds at first incredible, but the science of waterway construc- tion has made such progress that canal engineers fear no problems. This was proved by the speech made in Berlin a few days ago by Prince Lud- wig of Bava who is one of the most enthu ic partisans of Sig.| Caminada’'s scheme. | Sig. Caminada has just been re-| ceived by the king of Italy and has | placed a model of his canal, which will | go from Genoa to Zurich, on view in the rooms of the Academie dei Lincei, | the most important scientific and | technical society in Italy. | The fashion in which Sig. Caminada will cross the higher summits of the Alps is no longer quite new. He makes use of locks lying one above } the other, such as have already been constructed at the Trollhatta falls and combines them with double locks, such as are to be seen on the Telton canal at Kleim Machow. Original and decidedly novel is the extension of these locks to a long chain, which mount up the face of the Alps, and which are built to fit all the incidence of the upward ascent. For this reason Sig. Caminada transforms them into tubes. In the interior of this tube is a large number of sep- | | Artificial Basins at Entrances of Two Tunnels with Opposite Inclinations. jin unbroken succession and are sep- arated from one another by lock doors. Each of the locks has a floor sloping } downward and a similar vaulted roof. . When a barge is to be conveyed across ; {the Alps it is carried out in the fol- | lowing manner: It is brought into the , lowest lock and the doors closed be- ining it. The lock is then filled with | i water. The bottom of the lock is given a very slight upward inclination and is laid with a set of rails on| which is a carriage. To this the barge is made fast, and as fast as the lock | fills with water the barge, on its car- riage, glides up the slope. When it reaches the level of the next lock the operation is repeated. Sig. Caminada places two such tubes alongside one another, one for the up and the other for the down journey. The locks of each of them are connected with one another so that the water which runs out of one fills the other. It realizes a great economy of water. The tubular canals are only when the ground requires it. On the level stretches an open canal is constructed. Of these canals only the one which ascends has locks, the | other is built as a running stream, down which the barges glide rapidly. When the Splungen pass is reached a ten-mile tunnel will be constructed. | The canal is to begin at Genoa and | will run to Milan via Pavia and Ales- sandrie. From the latter place a branch canal will lead to Turin, while {2 second curve will be built from} Milan to Lake Maggiore. From Milan | the main canal runs to Trezzo, where the Alps are reached and the ascent | begins. The Lake of Como will be | traversed, and then the tubular canal rises sharply to Isalata, where the canal under the Splugen begins. It ends at La Nonna. At this point the highest level, 4,264 feet above the sea, is reached, and then the descent begins to Thusis and Chur and the valley of the Rhine, which the canal follows to the Lake of Constance and thence to Basle. At the confluence of the Aare between | Schaffhausen and Basle, a _ second ‘ projected cana' system starts which, | via Aarau, Solothurn, Berne, Basle, Lucerne and Zurich. connects with the lakes of Thun, Brienz and Zug and the lake of the Four Cantons. Germany's Economic Power. The immense increase of Ger- many’s economic power during the last 28 years is strikingly illustrated by the increase of coal consumption in that time. In 1879 it aggregated 52,204,000 tons, and by 1895 it rose to 105,877,000 tons, thus doubling itself in 16 years; but last year it reached 208,167,000 tons, having nearly doubled } itself again in 12 years. used FEDERAL JOB FOR MITCHELL.

Labor. j Washington—That John Mitchell, ! the retiring president of the anthra- cite coal miners’ union may be asked by President Roosevelt to go to Pan- ama and make a report on labor con- ditions there, is one of the results which may accrue from a conference on Panama affairs at the White House the other da The president, Secretary Taft and Col.

No conclusion was reached as to the appointment of Mr. Mitchell, John Mitchell. that James president's investigator, and it ‘is understood Bronson Reynolds, the Chicago packing house also was considered for the same work. The necessity of having ac- curate information on labor condi- tions on the isthmus has been em- phasized recently by numerous’ mi- nor complaints which are coming to Washington. It is considered desirable to have expert information on the manner in which the reforms _ or- dered as a result of the investiga- tion of Miss Betts, have been made effective. also TO HEAD DEMCCRATIC HOSTS. Missouri Congressman Made Chair- man Congressional Committee. Washington. — James Tighlman Lloyd, who been elected chair- man of the Democratic congressional has campaign committee in spite of the opposition of John Sharp Williams, the leader of the minority in the house, has always been a strong Bry an man and a stanch believer in free silver. He took little part in active politics until comparatively late in life, for with the exception of filling the office of prosecuting attorney of Shelby county from 1889 to 1893, a position which was virtualiy forced | upon him, he held no public office and aspired to none. It was only when a | vacancy occurred in the First district of Missouri that he was induced to run for congress, and he was elected | James T. Lioyd. on the Democratic ticket by a large majority. Five times since he has been re-elected, beating; his opponents with ease. He was born in Lewis county a trifle over 50 years ago, was graduated from Christian university, Canton, in 1878, taught school for a few years and was then admitted to the bar. He practiced in Lewis coun- ty until 1885, when he removed to Shelbyville, where he has remained ever since. Siow Work. The construction of a lighthouse on the Ar-Gazeck reef, on the French coast, near Ushant, is proceeding very slowly. During 1904 the swiftness of the’currents prevented more than 52] hours’ work on the foundation, more than 206 hours in 1995 and more than 152 in 1906. During three years, there- fore, only 51 days of eight hours were available for the work. s i iP {'<@iv2o Se THEFLYING MACHINE IT HAS COME TO STAY, SAYS HENRY FARMAN. Man Who Won Deutsch-Archdeacon Prize Talks About His Plans for Future Experiments with His Aeropiane. New York.—Contrary to popular be- lief, Henry Farman, who in a single day achieved world-wide fame by navigating an airship over a circular course one kilometer in leagth ‘and winning a prize of $10,000, is an Eng- lishman. The feat that set all Bu- rope talking and made Farman a so- cial lion in Paris, where the flight took place, was by no means his first achievement of note, although of far greater interest to the general public as pointing the to a means of navigation that has ever proved a stumbling block to mankind, “Farman has always been conspicu- ously successful in everything he un- dertook, and his has been an active life. Some 16 years ago, when the bi- cycle craze was at its height in Eu- rope, Farman was one of the cham- pions on the French racing track, with his brother Maur'ce, never having been beaten on a tandem. With the advent of the automobile, he naturally drifted into the game, and was one of the most fearless chauffeurs in a land that has turned out plenty of talent in that class. His way energies were by no means monop- olized by racing, for he embarked in the of automobiles, at manufacture ssent time being head of one of largest motor car concerns in Eu- rope. tos-Dupont, Mr. Farman took up the problem of aerial navigation with his customary enthusiasm and thorough- ness, Winning merited success. From boyhood, Farman has ex- hibited a fondness for risking his neck, having experienced some bad falls when racing with bicycle and automobile. Nevertheless, he leaves nothing undone put any machine he may riding in perfect condi- tion, and declares that he is the soul of prudence “When I risk course, every aeroplane have the nothing to be my man neck, which, of who mounts an to do, I at least that I have left make my = ap bound certainty undone to paratus as perfect as possible,” said Mr.: Far to an interviewer, recently ‘l take no unnecessary risks in the way of height. I could, if I wanted, soar off in the air to any height I please. If my motor | would work long enough I could elear the Eiffel tower. But at the present stage it would be folly to ascend a yard higher than is neces- sary The aeroplane is at present a very delicate machine, and some- thing may snap at any moment. The aeroplane is not like a parachute If anything happened to disturb its equilibrium it would shoot to the ground like a flash 3ut the flying machine has come to stay. It is at the preseht moment in much the same stage as the au- tomobile was 25 years ago. The first thing to do is to get the ideal motor The one I use is a 50. horsepower Antoinette. It weighs only 50 kilos, or 160 pounds. That means a horsepower for every two pounds. But unfortunately, I cannot carry a radiator, that the motor heats in a few minutes and brings my flicht so to a close. However, the other day I succeeded in taking up 15 kilos or 30 pounds of weight with me. I am also planning changes in my aeropla which will gain another 30 pounds. Then my new motor will give me four new horsepower—that is, a con siderable addition to the lifting power. This will, I hope, allow of my putting on a radiator and thus get rid of the heating of the motor.” In spite of his remarkable achieve- ments with the aeroplane, Henry Farman wears his laurels modestly, and is working hard to attain a higher degree of perfection for the machine with which he has done so much. Value of Empress’ Diamonds. Empress Augusta Victoria’s mag- nificent diamonds, which she wears on great occasions at the German court, are valued at $1,250,000. In them she justifies in a double sense the compliment the emperor once paid her when he gallantly referred to her as “the jewel that sheds luster by my side.” ag a Inspired by the success of M.
