Scientists at Work on
Roosevelt Trophies
Work of Classifying and Mounting the
Specimens Brought from Africa
Will Take Two Years.
WASHINGTON, March 13. All possible
speed la being used by the Smithsonian
institution In preparing the specimens ob
tained by ihe Roosevelt African expedition.
This is the reply made by officials of the
Institution to the declaration made several
day ago by Colonel Roosevelt that he
wished congress would appropriate suffi
cient money to enable tho Institution to
prepare the collection for Immediate ex
hibition. It may require two or three yeara to
complete the work, it Is aald by officials of
the institution. The work, however, they
declare la being curried on more rapidly
and with better results than has ever
been the case with any collection approach
ing this one in magnitude. Nothing Is
being left undone, it wu stated, to give the
Roosevelt series of Kaat African mammala
Its proper place among the treasures al
ready In the national museum.
As an illustration of the innumerable de
tails of the work which have made prog
ress appear alow. It was pointed out that
one phase of the work, namely, the classi
fication of the species and the exact de
termination of their sexual. Individual and
geographic variations, mean months of
study on tha part of Dr. Edmund Heller,
who, before It Is finished, will have to
visit other museuma In the United State
and In Kurone to make numerous compar
isons. Only those species will be-mounted
which aro not now adequately represented
or which ate needed to supplement the
various aeries now shown.

The Mississippi river power project la one
of the greatest enterprise of recent time,
and involve the carrying out of a plan
that ha been an engineering dream for
many years, but which haa only recently
taken on concrete form. The project con
template the construction of a dam across
the Mississippi river at Keokuk, where tur
bulent rapids mark the division between
the upper and the lower Mississippi. Thl
dam will Impound a body of water five
mile wide and twenty mile long, and
will furnish a head of seventy-five feet to
drive the turbine wheels that will generate
the power. St. 1-ouis ha already contracted
for 60,000 horsepower of the output. Other
cities along the river are making con
tracts for the electric current that will
be generated. It I proposed that even
Omaha shall share In the distribution. The
plant will have a capacity when completed
of 250,000 horsepower.
Will Drown Government Canal.
The work Involves ome stupendous en
gineering problems. For example. In 187S
the government completed a canal around
the rapids In order to facilitate steam
boat navigation. Thl canal 1 twelve miles
long and haa three Immense locks, two
being within a mile at the lower end of
the canal. These lock will be completely
flooded when the dam Is finished, and a
new canal and locks will have to be con
strusted In order that the free navigation
of the river will not be obstructed. The
Hurl.ngton railroad tracks, which run along
the canal, will also be flooded, and a new
line will have to be constructed. On the
Illinois side of the river many acres of
bottom lands will be covered by water.
The projectors of the dam have been at
work on the preliminaries for months, and
have accomplished a great deal toward
the actual construction which is now being
energetically pushed. Police Commis
sioner Wapplch, who Is a native of Keo
kuk, is still interested in property there,
and last night said he Intended going over
this week to look after his Interests. He
say Keokuk has taken on a new lease of
life, and Is booming as It did In the days
before the war, when it was the principal
point on the upper Mississippi.
