HOW FORDEEP WATER
To Concoct the Great Lakes With’ the
Atlantic.
THE COMMISSION RECENTLY APPOINTED
By the President Will Do Much to Promote
the Scheme—Lyman M. Cooley’s
Enthusiasm
Lymau E. Cooley, the accomplished
engineer, scholar, man of affairs and
head arid front of the great drainage
canal scheme now being materialized at
Chicago, must have been highly grati
fied by his appointment as one of the
deep waterway commissioners of the
\ United States by President Cleveland
the other day. This appointment will
enable Mr. Cooley to be of The greatest
service along the lines of what he evi
z' dently believes to be the work he has
been called to do. It adds much to the
probability that his dream of a continu-
E * W
V,
LYMAN E. COOLEY.
Ous highway for ocean going shins from
the lakes to the Atlantic will by and by
be an accomplished fact, since, with all
due respect to every other man who has
the project at heart, Mr. Cooley is un
doubtedly more thoroughly wrapped up
in its success, better informed as to what
must be done and more competent to
help in the doing of it than any other
living man. His enthusiasm for a deep
waterway is little less than sublime.
His studies of the problems to be met
in its achievement have been profound,
and have occupied the nights as well as
the days. He believes that it will al
most completely transform the internal
commerce of North America, and that
its influence will be farreaching in the
extreme and of untold benefit to the con
tinent. It is as informing and as inter
esting to hear him descant upon the
changes that will be wrought by and the
increased industrial growth of the Unit
ed States that will result from the carry
ing out of the stupendous improvement
proposed_as it is to listen to the most
popular and best equipped lecturer of
* these times, for Mr. Cooley knows his
subject thoroughly, and while bubbling
over with facts and figures is never dull
or commonplace in reciting them. Be
' sides he possesses in a high degree that
gift, as essential to the projector of ma
terial improvements as to the poet, the
novelist or the historian—imagination.
Already the great chain of canals that
shall make seaports of Chicago and
many of the cities between it and salt
water exists in Mr. Cooley’s brain. Al
ready the details of construction, and
even of administration after construc
tion, are carefully laid out by him ; the
levels and locks are approximately de
termined upon ju his thoughts, together
with the probable cost of each and of
the aggregate cost when the last sbov
elsful of earth shall have been removed,
the water let in and ships begun to
iriake their voyages through the heart of
the continent. Difficulties that seem in
surmountable to many engineers appear
quite possible of vanquishment to him.
He even seems to rejoice in the exist
ence of these difficulties, to feel like
Conan Doyle’s great detective character,
Sherlock Holmes —that obstacles exist
solely that they may be overcome by
him and to be happy only when engaged
in their overcoming. At least this is the
Sort of man he has seemed to me when I
'have listened to his talk upon his chosen
task.
j As every one acquainted with Mr.
Cooley knows, his enthusiasm is first for
the Chicago drainage ditch, but while
he does not fail fully to appreciate the
importance of giving to Chicago the in
creased sewerage facilities that will be
available after that work is completed
it is chiefly as a link in the eventual
waterway to the gulf that he is fond of
talking of it. The Chicago canal, as
■ «
JAMES B. ANGELL.
gome readers may remember, is the
greatest public work now under way
anywhere, and it employs thousands of
men of all grades of skill, from the
cheapest laborer to the most skilled en
gineer.
There arc many who believe ibat this
canal will draw away from the lake
enough water to interfere witn lake nav-’
igation, but Mr. Cooley is not one of
these, and it must be allowed by all who
have heard him express his views that
he makes as well sounding arguments to
prove the groundlessness of tliw predic
tion as those who believe in it do in its
favor. Before considering the projected
waterway to tie Atlantic it may be in
order to remind some readers of the
magnitude of the waterway of which
the drainage canal is to be a part. The
canal itself is 30 miles long, reaching
from Ashland avenue, Chicago, to Lock
wood, Ills Then the Desplaines river is
followed for 290 miles to the Missis
sippi, about 1,600 miles of whose course
lie below and to the south of the mouth
of the Desplaines. The “drainage dis
trict” of Chicago is bound to bear the
expense of improving the Desplaines so
that it will carry off the extra flow of
water without damage to the territory
or towns upon its banks, and this will
virtually make the whole of the Des
plaines a navigable stream. It will cost
$215,000,000 for the canal and $30,000,-
000 for the river improvement, and by
the time Mr. Cooley has superintended
the expenditure of that vast sum he will
probably be pretty well prepared to un
dertake the far more difficult deep wa
terway to the Atlantic.
The probable cost of this waterway
even Mr. Cooley hesitates to name.
There are several rou t s ] r< iposed. Some
of the Canadians are gjcatly in favor of
a canal from the Geui:.- br:y on Lake
Huron to Lake Simcoe, and thence to
Toronto and Lake Ontario, ignoring Lake
Erie, and with it Detroit, Cleveland,
Buffalo, and all the other ports along
the present lake highway between Lake
Huron and Lake Ontario. Another Ca
nadian scheme is to ignore Toronto even,
and cut a canal straight from the
Georgian bay to that strange arm of
Lake Ontario that is known as the bay
of Quinte. But as both these routes
would lie wholly within Canadian ter
ritory, Uncle Sam would not be likely
to put up much if any money for their
digging, and so they are not very prob
able of construction. Os course the St.
Lawrence would bo used for tho eastern
portion of the chain if either of these
routes were to be adopted.
The decision of the voters of the state
of New York to expend $9,000,000 upon
the improvement of the Eriecanal tends
to draw general attention in the direc
tion of th'e proposed route that shall
make Clinton’s ditch and the Hudson
river the two easternmost links, and it
is this route that Mr. Cooley favors. Al
though he cannot tell its probable cost
as yet. he has figured out that when it
and the waterway from the gulf shr.ll
be developed, the two, combined with
the water route along the gulf and At
lantic coasts, will make it possible for a
steamer to circumnavigate all tho east
ern portion of the United States, both
north and south, excepting New Eng
land and a little piece of New York, and
that a vessel which makes that voyage
will pass 50 cities of more than 10,000

inhabitants each, including almost ev
ery great city in the United States. In
cluding the Ohio, Missouri and Dela
ware rivers and Chesapeake bay and ex
tending the voyage somewhat along the
gulf coast to the southwest and along
the Atlantic coast to the northeast only
about a dozen cities of great prominence
would be out of reach. Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
ington, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile,
New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago, De
troit, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo,
Rochester, Syracuse, Albany and many
others would be on the line.
Mr. Cooley is only 45 years old. He
was born in Canandaigua, N. Y. He
went to district school when a boy and
when a young man was a teacher in the
Canandaigua academy. Then he attend
ed a technical school at Troy, from
which he was graduated a civil engineer
in 1874. Then he was made professor of
civil engineering at the Northwestern
university. After three years there he
engaged in practical work. In 1885 he
began on the drainage canal.
James Burrill Angell, one of the
other two deep water commissioners, is
president of the University of Michigan
and was one of the commissioners by
whom an important treaty with the
Chinese was negotiated some years ago.
He was also engaged with the secretary
of state, in 1888, in settling the fisheries
disputes between the United States and
Great Britain. He is a native of Rhode
Island and was born in 1829, being a
much older man than Mr. Cooley. He
was minister to China from 1880 to
1882 inclusive, and will be of special
value in the work of the deep water
commission by reason of his diplomatic
training and gifts.
John E. Russell of Massachusetts, the
remaining member of the commission, is
well known as a prominent Democratic
politician and an exceedinglyjible man.
The high character of all these mem
bers of the commission is fully appreci
ated by the Canadians interested in
I “deep water to the sea,” as is shown
I conclusively by the fact that O..AV. How-

land, VJ. K, president of the Dominion
Deep Waterways association, says their
appointment “will without doubt prove
eminently satisfactory to the associa

the international deep waterway conven
tion held at Cleveland a few months ago
and will co-operate with the new com
missioners in their work.

Movable Types Amoug the Roman*.
Adrian Diaconu of Hungary claims to
have made a remarkable discovery. Ac
cording to a telegram from Vienna, he has
found in the remains of the old Roman
camp of Bersovia, at Bogesau, near Temes
var, what he and certain learned men of
Bucharest regard as irrefutable evidence
that the Centurions of the Fourth legion,
who were stationed there at some time
during the second century, were acquaint
ed with tho use of movable typos. Such a
discovery, if verified, will throw back the
origin of the art of printing nearly 13 cen
turies. If is already known that the Ro
mans used stamps with which to impress
upon bricks such inscriptions as “Log.
Vic. Six., ’ but, there had bwn no trace of
the use of movable types.—New York Sun
Beware of
tiie Knife!
I
No one who has not been through the
ordeal, can possibly have any concep
tion of the terrible fear and dread occa
sioned by the anticipation of a surgical
operation. Well grounded, too, per
haps, in a majority of cases, for the keen
blade of the surgeon is too often used
indiscreetly, and where it cannot possi
bly do any good.
It is a little less than folly to submit
to a surgical operation for a disease of
the olood, and such a course always
proves either fatal or useless.
Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Hartville, Mo.,
had an interesting experience with the
doctors recently, and was on the verge
of a painful surgical operation. He
writes: “I hereby add my unqualified
endorsement of your excellent remedy,
S. S. S. For six years I have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts of
physicians in Washington, D. C. ;
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis, failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months’ constant treatment here my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. At this critical mo
ment a friend recommended S. S. S..
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju
dice against all patent medicines, I be
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tle the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though I am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your S. S. S. long age.
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $l5O. If this endorse
ment will serve you in any way use it.’
This experience is like that of all whe
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles
The doctors can do no good, and ever
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal, S. S. S. is the only
real blood remedy, it gets at the root ol
the disease and forces it out perma
neutly.
Cancer is another disease for which
the doctors at once resort to the knife
and there has never been a case cured
by an operation. S. S. S. has made
some wonderful cures of Cancer, full ac
counts of which will be sent out upon
application.
S. S. S. is a blood remedy for real
blood troubles; it cures the most obsti
nate cases of Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, etc., which other so-called
blood remedies fail to touch. S. S. S.
gets at the root of the disease and forces
it out permanently. Valuable books
