THE STORM IN FLORIDA,
A DISASTROUS STORM VISITS THE LAND OF
FLOWERS—DAMAGE TO PROPERTY,
Reports on Tuesday from various lo
calities in the state of Florida, indicate
that Monday's storm was a disastrous one
to property. At West Jacksonville, four
or five miles out in the country from the
city of Jacksonville, three or four houses
were blown dowun and two churches
wrecched from their foundations.
Through the outlying country for many
miles, fallen trees were encountered
everywhere, many of the monster moss
hung oaks, which had withstood the
storms of a hundred years, were pros
trated. At Switzerland, Panama, Park,
Scotland, Mayport, New Berlin and sev
eral small settlements on St. John's
river, houses and trees were blown down.
At the Sandhills hospital, made memo
rable by the epidemic of 1888, the main
buiiding was wrecked and the whole
scene is one of ruin.
WANTED FOR A SIDE=SHOW.
A ST, LOUIS MAN ASKS THE PRIVILEGE OF
EXHIBITING DICK HAWES.
Solicitor Hawking, of Birmingham,
Ala, on Friday, received a letter from
W. B. Simpson, of Bt. Louis, askinz if
he could obtdin the privilege of exhibit
ing Dick Hawes, who murdered his
wife and children last winter, at the
state fair to be held in Birmingham
next month. Bimpson wrote that he
would keep Hawes well guarded, and
return him to the county jail when the
fair was over. He proposes to make
Hawes a side-show at the fuir, charging
admission to see him. He says: ‘‘l be
lieve there is big money in it, and if you
will let me have the noted prisoner, I
will divide with you.” Solicitor Haw
kins declined the proposition.
: A Dritisa Ship Canal
The American eng;neers who are now
making a visit to Paris were afforded
while in England, says the Boston
Herald, an oi)portunity of examining
the work which has already been done
on the Manchester shig)canal. Although
only eighteen months have passed since
the first sod was turned the amount of
excavation is computed to be 17,000,000
or 18,000,000 cubic yards, leaving about
28,000,000 yet to be done. With the
exception of the Suez and Panama
‘canals, the Manchester ship canal is
probably the largest and most expensive
work of the kind that has ever been
undertaken. When completed it will
have a water depth of twenty-six feet
and a width varying from 135 to 260
feet, according to local requirements,
and although its length (thirty-six miles)
is much shorter than a number of canals
that have been built in this country, yet
in all other respects it far exceeds any
thing we have yet attempted. The
great expense in_constructing the canal
is found in avoiding or overcoming the
already existing obstacles to direct
transit in the shape of railroads, canals,
viaducts, and other public works. Thus,
in one instance, in order to make the
London & Northwestsrn bridge at Run
corn 8o that ships can pass under if, it
was found necessary to build twelve
miles of new railway deviation and em
bankments for the trains to approach
the new bridge, seventy five feet above
high water, by gradients not exeeeding
one in 135. Altogether there are many
novel devices to test engineering ability
in the construction of tilis work, an un
dertaking that is now giving employ
ment to 20,000 workmen, and that,
when completed, as it will be at the end
of 1891, will make the inland city of
Manchester a considerable seaport, hav
ing dock water space of more than 104
acres and more than five miles’ length
of wharves.
Seeing Behind Them.
Nature has enabled some animals to
gee objects behind them as well as in
front without turning around. The
hare has this power in a marked degree,
Its eyes are large, prominent and placed
laterally. Its power of seeing things in
the rearis very noticeable in greyhound
coursing, for though this dog is mute
while running, the Tare is able to judge
to a nicety the exact moment at which
it will be best for it to double, Horses
are another instance. It is only neces
sary to watch a horse driven invariably
wi%out blinkers to notice this. Let the
driver even attempt to take the whip in
hand, and if the horse is used to the
work he will at once increase his Jmoe. |
