It was Henry the First, and Henry the Second, and Henry the Third, and Henry the Fourth, and Henry the Fifth. In France the name of Louis was so fav- ourably regarded that it was Louis the First, Louis the Second, Louis the Third, and so on. But this King of whom I speak was Christ the First, Christ the Last, and Christ the Only. He reigned before the Czar mounted the throne of Russia or the throne of Austria, was lifted, “King, Eternal, Immortal.” A king dying! You remember. when the last Czar of Russia was in his fat- al sickness, that bulletins were every hour dispatched from the palace, say- ing, “The king is better, or “The king is worse,” or “ The king is delirious,” or “The king rested easier through the.night,” or “ The king is dying,” and“ The king is dead.” The bells troll- ed it, the flags signalled it, the tele- graphs flashed it. Tell it now to all the earth and to all the heavensâ€" Jesus, our King, is sick with his last sickness. Let couriers carry the swift dispatch. His pains are worse; he is breathing a last groan; through his body quivers the last anguish; the King is dying; the King is dead!

I respond that we make too little.

W'hen the fish had disap- peared beneath the water it was found that Quong VVah had sustain- ed a fracture of his arm and: several crushed ribs as the result of the fight. while his companions had no more serious injuries than painful cuts and bruises. ”While the men were ar- ranging nets a low: curling arm came over the side and seized the body of Wah. Grasping the thwarts of the boat he vainly attempted to loos- en. the grasp of the monster. His companions, paralyzed with horror, were helpless to aid him, until curling over the boat another serpentine arm glided toward them. Drawing their knives, they slashed desperate- ly at the tentacle that had wrapped itself around one of the seats and thneatened to capsize the boat. In a few moments the sharp knives h'ad done the wvork and the arm. of the octopus squirmed helplessly in the bottom of the boat, and the fish disappeared. This is the second time fishermen have been attacked by devil fish in. this bay. _ Never thinflr any portion of time too short to be employed.-Lord Ches- mrfield.

For a long time he was unable to trace the cause, but at length dis- covered that the sounds were made by shellfish, hundreds of them open- ing their shells and closing them with‘ sharp snaps. The noise, partly muf- fled by the ,water, sounded indescribo' ably weird. He was finally led to the conclusion that, as the shellfish made the sounds, they probably had some meaning, and that the clicks might pessibly be a warning of dan- gar when the shallow water was dis- turbed by the boat. On other occasions the~sounds re- sembled the tolling of bells, the booming of guns and the note of an Aeolian harp. A distinguished naturalist made a careful study of the sounds on many occasions, and found that it was not a sustained note, but made up of a multitude of tiny notes, each clear and distinct in itself, and ranging from a high treble down to a bass. When the ear was applied to the gun- wale of the boat the sound grew more intense, and in some places, as the boot moved on, it could not be heard at all. Most seamen can tell of curious clinking sounds heard on calm nights at sea, and the origin of. the noise seems so altogether unaccountable thét it has. often cmeated some alarm among superstitious fishermen.

A little later, blue sand used in the same way might show the formation of still other bars, and the removal oif the red sand bars prev- iously produced. Controlling the wa- ter as he does, Prof. Engels can have i It was with the idea at bringing !scienti£ic methods to bear on these iproblems that the Flsussbau Labora- itorium was established about three {years ago. Prof. Engels began his work in the typical German way, that :it, by investigating his subject thor- zousghly in the weight of science be- fore attempting to offer practical suggestions. A large room is set aside in the basement of the Dresden Tech- nical School, and here, elevated some four feet from the floor. Prof. Engels has had constnucted an iron trough. or tank about seven feet in width and two feet deep, reaching the full length of the room. At the upper end of this trough a large river tank is placed with appliances for permitting the water which it contains to flow into the trough in any required vol- um-e, and in such a way. that it will exactly imitate the even flow of; a river. The experimental trough is fill- ed to some depth with sand, and the course of a river is laid out, angling down the trough through the sand. It is at first at even depth through- out, and the banks are protected by small bags of shot. Into this mini- ature river the water is allowed to flow at a given speed, and Prof. En- gels studies closely all t‘hlose places where the sandy bortom is washed Otut, where it is filled in, where the banks have a tendency to cave away and where new banks are building up. As the water flows it naturally car- ries much sand entirely otut of the trough. All this is catught and pre- served in a most ingenious manner. As the Water leaves the trough it is carried over tin ribs behind which the sand is deposited, finally falling, en- tirely clear out all soil, into alarge tank at the lower end of the trough. Here a ptutnp is constantly at work driving the water which thus comes, through the “ river” back to the up-1 per tank. thus using it over and over a and enabling the river to flow on! without interruption for weeks. It is the ingrained waywardness of a river to do very much as it pleases, gouging out an embankment here and filling in a channel there. sometimes undermining a tower and often break- ing dams and piers placed in its way to keep it in order. .Vast suans of money have been spent by all the great nations, and spent injudicious- ly, as the Germans believe, in dredg- ing channels and in protecting the banks of rivers. In Germany; the ques- tion is even more important than it is in America, [or the reason that the country is more densely peopled. the land is more valuable and changes in the course of flow in a river are there- fore more destructive and costly, Moreover, the rivers of Germany are not, generally speaking. so swift and long as they are in America, and it is needful to keep thém at the height of effectiveness as to navigability.

For Ger- man science has been grappling with the problem of making the rivers of the empire flow according to rule, and with this in view an extensive ex- perimental station. called the Fluss- bau Laboratorium, river building lab- oratory, has been set up at Dresden, in Saxony in connection with the famous technical school of that city. It is directly under the control and support of the government and its work has now advanced sufficiently to warrant some description of the experiments. Recently were taken a number of photographs of the mini- staure River Elbe as it had been laid out in the experimental tank. The Elbe is only one of a number of Ger- man rivers which are now under dis- cipline and the results obtained can not fail to have the deepest import- ance and significance in America where there are so many navigable rivers. GERMANY SHOWING THE WORLD HOW TO MAKE RIVERS FLOW. SCIENCE STUDIES RIVERS. W, G. 3%: J. MCKECHME. .The keynote of the whole work is, as Prof. Engels ezgpresses it, to make the river regulate itself, to put down cribs and other river building devices in such a way that the river will keep its own channel clear and deep en- ough for navigation purposes, there- by saving dredging, and at the same time till such spaces as the engineer wishes filled. He believes that a more thorough knowledge of rivers and a careful series of experiments with ac- tual river courses will enable man to do almost what he wills with rivers, and do it much more cheaply than be- and do it much more cheaply than ever before. ,The work, as he says, is only just beginning; but he and oth- er distinguished engineers and scien- tists who are interested in the work 'believe that there is a great future for the work, They see the time when all rivers will be regulated. by the ad- vice of river-building experts who have laboratories, such as the Fl‘ussbau lab- 'oratorium, in which tests and experi- ments can be made.

C a change seemed desirable Prof. En- gels experiments with piers and cribs to see which will be the most effec- tive. In this way,‘ he will be able, from actual experimants, to make practical suggestions for river im- provements. The trouble has always been that engineers said that a crib here or a breakwater there would ac- complish certah results, but when the crib was built at large expense it fre- quently happened that the irrespon- sible river did something quite unex- pected, thereby discounting the effec- tiveness of man’s handiwork. But by testing these engineering schemes be- forehand in his miniature river, Prof. Engels horpes to do away with uncer- tainty and loss-and the government has so mpch confidence in his scheme that it is supporting it. Many of the rivers of Germany have been plotted with great accuracy not only as to their shore lines, but with regard to the contour of their channel beds. With these maps and contours in hand, Prof. Engels is now engaged in laying out to an exact scale various sections of the more im- portant German rivers. He duplicates exactly every curve, builds in every crib and breakwater, and then turns on the water at the ordinary rate of flow of the river under investigation. A stretch of the Elbe has just been completed, and a beautifully neat piece of work it is. the cribs all acc;ur-' 'ately placed and the banks held in place with bags of shot. When the water is turned on Prof. Engels in- dicates with great enthusiasm where the bars are being built up where the channel is deepening, where hollows were filled in and so on. Then he proceeds to indicate where a new crib might serve to preserve a deep chan- nel and at the same time cause the river to deposit its sand in shallows where the river might well be filled up and add to the usefulness of the shore properties.

The engraving, like all oth- ers of that time, was a metal plate complete in itself, and was regard- ed as a single picture. The impres- sion made upon the damp cloth sug- gested to the alert mind of Finiguer- ra the possibility of producing an in- definite number of pictures from a single original.
