SHIP CANALS HAVE TO BE WELL
LOOKED AFTER.
Nature of Ground Through Which
They Are Cut Makes the Most
Thorough Watchfulness
Imperative.
In the European war canals are per
haps of more importance than rail
., the Kiel canal to the Germans
and the Suez canal to the Uritish gov
ernment in Egypt It is not generally
known what enormous difficulties hare
to be faced in the endeavor to keep
these canals clear.
The Germans hare spent a gigantic
sum on their Kiel canal, which carries
their ships from the North sea to the
Raltic Just before they made this
war they had widened it at a cost o?
fifteen millions.
The United States has anxieties
OTer the Culebra cut In the Panama,
but not more so than the Germans
over their waterway. For the ground
through which the latter is cut is in
most places nothing but peat rotten,
black stuff which keeps on breaking
up and falling back into the canal.
Also the bottom continually "bumps
up," thus lowering the depth of the
passage. The craft that use the Kiel
canal have to crawl along. They say
that if a cruiser were to make a dash
through at top speed It would take u
year and several millions of money to
remedy the damage done by her stern
wave.
Leave any canal alone for even a
year, and it would no longer be fit for
navigation. Within five years a small
boat would be unable to pass through
It
Each canal has its own special trou
bles. The canal of Panama has land
slides. Many have taken place during
Its construction, many more will have
to be dealt with in coming years. Not
long after opening the canal was com
pletely closed to traffic because of an
enormous landslide.
The German-led Turks are said to
be about to attack Egypt If their
armies ever manage to cross the wa
terless desert of Sinai they will find
themselves on the far bank of the
broad Suez canal, which will be pa
trolled by British warships, mounting
guns beside which the Turkish artil
lery w ill be mere toys.
But the Suez, like the Panama canaL
could never afford passage for these
great ships unless work went on con
stantly to keep It clear. It Is esti
mated that If the dredging work on
the Suez were abandoned, within less
than ten years the Turks or anyone
else could cross it dry shod.
On both sides of the canal stretch
miles of dry desert, from which every
wind that blows lifts the sand in edg
ing spirals and carries It in great
clouds. A single storm may drop a
thousand tons of sand into one mile of
the canaL
Of late years a great quantity of
trees have been planted along the
banks in order to prevent the sand
from drifting into the water; yet even
so. great steam dredgers are always
at work scooping from the bottom the
blown-in sand, and dumping it along
the hore.
Another trouble of those In charge
of the Suez canal is caused by fresh
water rprings, which burst up In Its
leep bed and pile the sand In ridges.

Transcript
Laughter.
Laughter begins either with the
mouth or the eyes. Then come the
other muscular groups and then come
the' vocal expressions of laughter,
such as brays, cackles, sniggers, sim
pers, giggle, snorts, grunts, fog-horn
rumbles, yells, shrieks, guffaws, trills,
chuckles, sniffles and all sorts of pe
culiar bird notes and musical sounds.
The regiment held inspection drill
yesterday afternoon on the athletic
field preparatory to the inspection to
'be held a week from Friday. Drill
'commenced at four o'clock in order to
give time to complete the inspection
before time for dismissal.
Accordingly the cadets, arrayed in
full uniform, and with guns and equip
ment cleaned, assembled on schedule
time before the Armory last night
Roll call was taken and the cadets,
headed by the band, marched out on to
the athletic field.
After a few battalion movements,
the regiment was passed in review
before the reviewing ofiEcers. After
review the regiment was again formed
into close formation, open ranks was
given and the inspection proper com
menced. The Commandant followed by the
staff and captain of the company be
ing inspected then made the inspec
tion. The customary form was fol
lowed, the inspectors marching before
and behind each man and the men
coming to inspection arms on being
passed by the Commandant The in
spection starts at the head of the
column, following down each company
in turn through the band at the rear.
This inspection being but preliminary
to the government inspection, numer
ous stops were made to call attention
to errors and improper uniform or
equipment
After the inspection proper was
over the regiment was again passed in
review, followed by regimental parade.
Parade rest was given and the band
marched up the field and back again.
A list of promotions was read, after
which the battalion was again called
to attention and America was
tilaved. The officers were then or
dered "front and center," upon which
all staff and field officers marched for
ward to the reviewing officers. The
Commandant gave them a talk on the
handling of the regiment, on comple
tion of which the regiment was dis
missed. ,
This Is the first time the cadets
have been accompanied by the band
this year, for which reason Its liberal
supply of music was doubly appreci
ated In helping to pass the time dur
ing the tedious inspection.
This gave the regiment a working
idea of the form of the inspection to
be held next Friday under the govern
ment inspector. The regiment Is fast
molding into creditable form, as shown i Harvard recently. Capt E. W. Mahan
