a symposium or prosper
""fliy and ?i return of business confi
dence. In un in (crest in# summary, tho
editor says that American people as
a whole nro tlie richest on earth.
Their visible assets ex coed $1,500,000
000,000. 'J'tiis valuation does not in
elude our lands nor tin- estimated val
uations of our mines aild standing
timber. As a (Comparison it may he
pointed out ttint (Jieat Britain's visi
ble assets are $000,000,000,000. J\ac!j
revolution of the globe sees us richer
by the sum of $10,GOO,000. Our in
crease in riches in each two months
is gomthing in excess of tin: aggregate
banking capital of all the. banks in
Great Britain affd Ireland. In each
ten days we roll up a national gain in
riches that is the equivalent of the
capital and the reserve of the Hank
of England. We have 2/5,000,000
workers who earn $14,000,000,000
during a year, which does not include
dividends on any form of stock or
incomes from bank deposits, if the
total wealth of the United States
were divided into per capita allot
ments it would figure at $1,708. All
the riches of our millionaires in the
aggregate palo into insignificance
when contrasted with the people's
money in our saving's banks, which
contain seven times as much money
as is held on account of vll the crown
ed heads and nobility of Europe and
Asia. We possess one-fifth of the
world's money though our country
has but one-sixth of the world's popu
lation and only one-seventh per cent
of its area.
The industries of 1 his country which
consume agricultural products as the
principal materials employ 37 ' per
cent of ill 1 persons engaged in manu
facturing and the capital of those in
dustries is 42.5 per cent of the capital
of all manufacturing plants. The val
ue of the capitaTinvcsted in our rail
roads is almost $14,000,000,000. The
total length << the roads is 226,000
miles of double and single track lines.
Adding sidings and trackage in rail
road yards, th?x total line of tracks
measures 314,flOO miles. The annual
passenger traffic is 700,000,000, (he
yearly haulage of freight is l,(if>0,000
tons. To operate this service 1 ,f?f>7,t>00
freight, 3">,0no pjivsoiurer cars and fi'i.
-?{100 locomotives are required. The an
nual upkeep of these roads costs
$300,000,000, and they consume the
}ffrg?r part of the output of our steel
mills. In freight carriage there has
been a gain of 48,000,000 tons be
tween .1002 and 1007. This gain is
9,000,000 more than the total tonnage
of freight carried by all our railroads
in 1880.
The conclusion arrived at from a
review of these simple statistics is
that beyond doubt this country is not
only increasingly prosperous as the
years pass, but prosperous to a mar
velous degree at the present hour.?

CHANNEL-MAKING UNDERTAKINGS IN HISTORY
New Jctiles Ready For Bi$ Ships?Lower Mississippi Gels
One of World's Deepest Harbors.
New Or loans, La.'?One of tho
flreatost channel making undertak
ings in the history of American river
Improvement will he brought nearly
to completion when (lie Jetties at the
mouth of tho South went I'ass of the
M iBRiHH i |i j>1 11 i v?? v are finished. Thej:u#
Jotthjs, ufter some dredging betweenJ
them 1:4 completed, will give the
South one of the deepest harbors in
the world by openings to the nccoss
of the largest steamships afloat the
100 and L'OO foot depths of tho lower
Mississippi River.
The harbor thus made accessible
has navigable water connection with
at least a dozen States bordering the
Mississippi and its tributaries?the
Ohio, tiio Missouri, tl;e Arkansas and
the Red rivers. About $1,000,000 is
befng spent on this improvement by
the IJnlted States Government,- which
has the work in charge.
The new Je.Hioa wero begun four
years ago. They are on a larger
scale and more substantial than the
famous Jetties at the Mississippi's
South Pass, an outlet which for., more
than tjijrty years has biien the river's
commercial entrance. They are near
ly parallel walls, one about three'
and Iho other about four miles long,
lying more than half a mile apart
and built in the shoal water at the
Juncture of the Pass with the Gulf
of Mexico. Their purpose is to con
fine and thus accelerate the river's
current acj-oss a mud bar about,three
miles broad, so as to produce a chan
nel at least 1000 feet wide, with a
minimum depth of thirty-five feet.
Tho swift current, which they have
prodpced, aided by dredging, even
before their completion, has caused
a tremendous scour and has already
made fifty to eighty-live feet of water
in some/places?, where at tho bcgin
nlng of th<f work the depth was only
rv Utt'ur?<?o. .i head. To make
the uniform Contract depth there is
tillll ln\Rovoral spots about ten feet
of mud tsi> bo removed. It Is expect
ed that tjie high water duo within it
few weep will sweep the remaining
mud deposits out to sea by the be
ginning/of next summer.
I'roVHbly few walls ever have been
coustj^ucted under greater .dlflleul
| tics than were these jetties. They
| are f^ade of willow, scantling, stone
and Cvncrete. Although In some
I places th*<y are not uix feet deep,
\ and although th??lr greatest deptlyis
barely fifteen feet, they havo (eost
12,700,000. livery material entering
into their construction lias been
brought from distances of ono hun
dred to five hrndred miles.
Tho Jetties have no foundation^,
but rely for stability upon their ex
tremely broad" bases, being from 100
to 1 r?0 feet wide at the bottom. In
contrast to this great width of base,
the concrete capping which forms
the top of the Jettle.s, find which jn
tho work receiving its finishing
touches Mils week, is r?r?Iy u few teet
wide, 'I'ho' capping in h sea wall
four and one-half foot. high and Is
tho only portion of l ho Jetties not
submerged. Tho wall weighs between
two and tliroo tons to each linear
foot.
I ho cubniergrd Htructnro support
ing t)i 1?) mass of concrete la made
almost entirely of willow poles and
brush. With the a!d of frame works
of scantling tho willows wore formed
into ?<>-< ailed mattceases?broad, flat
structures resembling bed mattresses
In form each about two foot thick,
Jio0 feet long and varying In width
from thirty-five to 100 foot. Tho
mattresses wore sunk one ahovo tho
other, with the widest at tho bottom
and those nhovo uniformly diminish
ing.In width aa they approachcd tho
surface. Tho topmost mattresses
wore uniformly thirty-live foot wjde,
and on a level with the surface of the
water. Heavy broken stone was
spread evenly over the mattresses to
sink them, so that a layer of stone
rests between each of these willow
structures. Ttyo greatest number of
supperltnposcd mattresses Is live.
The Mississippi has done Bomc In
teresting work in addition to scour
ing out a channel, for it has mad a
tho mattresses practically indestruc
tible to any normal agency?of nature
In thij region l)y burying them under*
hundreds of tons of tnud. TheSo de
}>o&its follow closely the contour of
tho Jetties, in conjunction with which
tliey form now banks of tho rjvor.
Tho only change likely to occur ln
the Jetties hi their gradual sinking,
until In tlmo tho concrete capping
entirely disappears. This sinking
already has occurred to the Jetties
at South Pass.
Tn tho course of manv years a new
bar may form by silt deposits in tho
Cr.lt 1 f in I he now deep water beyond
the mouth of the Jetties, and then tho
remedy will he tho extension of tho
Jetties a short distance further. Tho
rate of bar extension during nearly
seventy-five years preceding tho
starting of tho Jetties was between
lfiO and "f>0 feet annually, and tho
deposits responsible for this advance
wore made when conditions, now
greatly changed, favored such accre
tions.

making the chann/d is being spent In

Some Tales and Their Uses.
A eat never actually wage its tail.
\\ liy should it when il can purr?
But, nevertheless, it seems to serve
tlie same purpose in permitting a I
temporary expenditure of excess ner
vous energy when the animal is un
der ft foal strain. For instance, when
carefully stalking a bird or a man,
as in the ease of a kiti.cn or a Hon,
the t?p of the tail is never slill 1'or
a moment ever curling ain] niictirl
ing. We may compare this to the
neiTous tapping of the foot or ling
ers in a man. When an angry lion
is roaring his loudest, his tail will
frequently lash from side to side, giv
i ing rise aiming the ancients to the
belief that he scourged his body with
a hook or thorn which grow from the
1 end of I lie tail.
i When a jagu'ar walks along a
! slender hough, or a house cat peram
bulates the top of a board fence, we
perceive ariotfier important function
of the tail?that of an aid in balanc
ing. As a tight-rope performer
swav* hw pole, so the feline shifts
its tail to preserve the center of
gravity.
The tail of a sheep seems to be of
little use to its owner, although in
the breed which is found in Asia
Minor and on the tablelands of Tar
tary, this organ functions as a store
house of fat. and sometimes reaches
a weight of lifty pounds. When
viewed from behind, the animal seems
all tail, and when this appendage
reaches its full size it is either fast
ened between fwo sticks which drags
on the ground, or it is suspended on
two small wheels.^?(\ William Beebe

Do Yon Own a Boy?
Jo*eph M. Hodger#, formerly man
aging editor of MeC'lure'? Mazarine,
au<l u journalist of national reputa
tion, haa just completed an import
ant series of f<>ur articles on AuierU
can boys' college preparatory schools,
which will appear in Lippincott'#
Magazine, beginning with the March
number. Secondary education, as
such preparatory training i? gcncral
ly called, has had sijrpr'laingly little
attention paid to it by'edncators and
philuuihropigts, notwithstanding thai
there are at leust live times as many
pupils irt such schools as are in
all our universities and <iIHu?<>h com
bined. These papers will prove to be
eho'dv-a block full of surprises for
even the well informed parent?who
ought to, but does not, know about
all the matter of his boy's education.
It is not too much to say that these
articles will create a revolution in
public sentiment regarding our boys-'
private Schools. From this it null*',
not be inferred that Mr..lingers is an
unfriendly critic?his articles are
really constructive in spirit; but at
the same time he hits some evils wit);
a mailed list.
