plunged, lilKHlng aud wrltlilug. down
tba valley of tlio iJenplules to Its June
'ilon with the Illinois Itlver on Its way
to tue'I-'ather of Waters," men who
watched the work felt that a great tcs
-aou was ended.
An offertory of some :K1,U00,0()0 had
Ifceu, ioured out by Chicago, ostensibly
to purify the water supply, vitiated by
thousand sewer conduits. Hut the
real service had not commenced, for
tba sanitary feature of the mighty
anal was and Is but a subsidiary cle
went. The real object sought to bo
attained when the work was under
taken was and Is the beginning of a
kip canal to unite the chain of Inland
fs with the salt tide-water of the
delta of the Mississippi lllver, some
1,200 miles away,
The opening of the mammoth chan
ael, over !tf0 feet wide and deep enough
la all Its thirty miles to float the heavi
est warship, was really the opening
wedge of a project which has been
HOW A PLANT FEEDS.
Vatss Helmont's Interaatlnac Kx,vl
Mat Hhowloa How Tre Orowa,
It Is more than 2,000 years since phil
osophers began lo speculate about the
food of plants aud what we limy term
tkelr "digestive" processes, but It Is
caly during the latter half of this ceu
tury that really clear and definite uo
tleos coueerulng the food supplies of
the vegetable world have been gener
ally accepted by scientific men. As far
U kuowu, says a writer lu Kuowl
dge, the first Iwtnnloal experiment
ver performed was conducted by Van
llelmout. He placet! In a pot WW
IMHiuda of dried earth, and lu It he
ylaittcd a-wlllow branch which weigh
ed five pounds. He kept the whole oov
rd up aud dally watered the earth
with ralu water. Afler five years'
growth the willow was taken up aud
gain weighed, and was found to have
gained HH pounds. The earth lu the
pot dried and weighed, and hud lost
only two ounces.
Kuowlege was not yet suttlelently ad
vanced to enable Van llelmout to Inter
pret thesostrlkiugresulls correctly, and
tie came to the erroneous conclusion
that the Increased weight of the plunt
was due to the water which hud been
ttpplled to the roots. He therefore
looked upon this experiment as sup
Krtlug the theory which he had ad
vanced, vis., that plants required no
food but water. .Stephen Hales ad
vanced the subject a great step by In
dicating that much of the Increase In
weight of plants was derived from
varbou dioxide lu the air.
Vegetable cells contain a liquid
known as "cell sap," which Is water
holding lu solution various materials
which have leen taken up from with
out by the roots aud leaves. These ma
terials are thus brought In contact with
the protoplasm, which causes them to
undergo changes lu composition which
prepare them to bo added to the sub
stance of the plant. Thus It Is In the
protoplasm of the llvlug cells of tho
plant that those "digestive" processes
are curried on which Aristotle believed
to occur lu the soil. We see, then, that
the living cells are microscopic labora
tories In which the digestion of the food
of the plant Is carried on.
Against tlie Current.
It Is well kuowu that salfuon can
awltu against a strong current, and
leap up falls, but It Is not so well known
OCKAN GOINO FREIGHTERS LOADING IN CHICAGO,
dreamed of, legislated upon and striven
after for half n century. It means that
the expressed fears of Federal engi
neers, of communities dreading water
contagion, of shippers anticipating a
loss of commercial prestige, thu deple
tion of our lakes, have all been set at
rest. It means that the Hennepin caunl
Idea the father of the snultury caunl
Is- In a fair way of accomplishment,
and by the use of n graud natural wa
terway the largest chain of fresh water
on the globe unites with one of the
largest rivers In the world, piercing a
mighty nation down Its middle.
Neversluce the first hasty $50,000 sur
vey was made lu the shallow Illinois
has the general government been able
lo rid Itself of the Idea that tlio frui
tion of the plan would encompass the
triumph of the grandest scheme of In
ternal Improvement ever undertaken In
this land. The first great step to con
summate nil this Is the proposed turn
ing over of the Chicago Itlver to the
drainage canal trustees, to enlarge, to
Improve, to chnnge, on the same prin
ciple that cau make of the veriest creek
lu tlio land that would not float a skiff
a channel wide enough and deep
enough to float a warship of the first
class with a draft of twenty-eight feet.
Without a partlclo of Improvement the
Chicago Itlver can to-day carry vessels
which haul 100,000 bushels of grain
that trout are also famous Jumpers.
Ou tho neaverktll Is a three-foot dam,
with four Inches of water on the breast,
aud a gentleman sat near and watched
the trout go up. lu many Instances a
first attempt failed, owing, however,
more to an uppareut want of Judgment
than lack or physical ability In the fish
lo accomplish the feat; the smaller fish,
as a rule, falling to get over In the first
Httempt. The larger Ash made a clean
Jump luto the smooth water above the
apron of the dam. These IIbIi were en
abled lo swim straight up this down
pour of water by the great muscular
power they possessed; there was no
trick about It, but pure strength which
Is evidently centered lu the tall and
tall flu. The query uaturally arises;
If a ten-Inch trout can swim up such
a fall, what Is the capacity of a forty
Inch salmou uuder similar conditions?
When Crowds Are Usorat.
Quite a brisk business exists in the
crowd line, said a well-dressed man to
the writer, aud I make a fairly good
living by supplylug them. All sorts of
people And a crowd useful at times.
For Instance, a young man who Is
about to make his debut as a lecturer
or musician cau, by coming to me,
make sure of having not only a nu
merically speaking respectable, but
highly appreciative, audience. Again,
a big crowd outside the pit and gallery
doors of a theater creates In the minds
of passers-by the Idea that the piece

that means something more than 4,000
ton of cargo. Brief work In the line
done on the caunl aud an ocean high
way Is opened up for Chicago and the
West, In meats, In grain, In all those
commodities flint now go to Liverpool
by other and more expensive routes
for wnter carriage Is much cheaper
than rail carrluge, and farmers who
grow grain lu Kansas, Nebraska and
Iowa arc to-day In a measure at tlio
mercy of the rail lines. Ocean rates
from Unlveston and New Orleans
would euablo them to beat the sea
coast rutes from New York by from
10 to 20 cents on a bushel.
It Is sij Id that nothing but money and
the authority to go ahead Is ueeded In
the work south of Lockport Half or
$1!S,000,000 would make the Mver chan
nel adequate. There Is a great deal of
boring and dredging to do; docking,
and the stratghteulug out of crooked
courses; but competent engineers have
been looking over the field, and the plan
Is simple wlratt.understood.
The lower Mississippi problem Is one
of the worst to the canal project. Many
millions of dollars have been Jumped
Into that river by succeeding Con
gresses and engineering boards without
substantial Improvement. Tho river
has depth sufficient for present com
merce, aud no decided effort has bceu
made to deepen It at certain "cross
must be worth seeing to attract so
many patient waiters. A few shop
keepers, too, have fouud out that half
a doxeu well-dressed people, gating In
tently Into a shop window, leads others
to do the same thing, and constitutes a
far better "draw" than anything put
In the window Itself. I have even sup
plied spectators for a wedding, In a
case where the bridegroom was a
wealthy parvenu who had a great de
sire for popularity. An artist once
hired from me about a dozen well-at-tired
people to stand In front of hU
picture at an exhibition, tho conse
quence being that his painting attract
ed considerable attention. Where do I
get the people? Ob, there Is no dim
culty about that. Some of them are'
sandwich men In the daytime, and
work for me at night; othera work for
me lu the day, and appear on the stage
as "supers" In the evening. I pay
them so much per hour, and find the
clothes. I have a most elaborate stock
or garments, and can turn out qultr
an aristocratic looking crowd.

lightest vessels run danger of striking
tho bottom. Engineers of national rep
utation nro a unit that the Government
should begin tho work of Improvement,
substituting docks of masonry for
wooden wharfs.
Tho pace has been set by tho drain
ago canal. It has been demonstrated
to the world that ship highways can
be constructed Inlaud wide enough and
deep enough to float any warship on
tho high seas. The West uow offers the
finished product of Its efforts to that
higher authority which alone can exe
cute one of the grandest projects of In
ternal Improvement ever presented to
a nation.
In this project every farmer In tho
West Is vitally Interested. The agricul
turists of this section ship through
Chicago nearly 40,000,000 bushels of
grain a year. Upon this, should the
transportation be made by the pro
posed route, the having would be some
thing enormous. Aside from tho strict
commercial Interpretation, there Is the
problem of making the great lakes a
useful body of water for defense. No
outlet to the sea now exists, but Can
ada and Great Britain have an Inlet
which Is controlled by them. The Mis
sissippi project would be purely of the
country and for the country, Involving
a new graud highway.
