M., to have +a book telling how to catch, tame, and care for animals +that inhabit our own woods. And I would suggest +that these animals be simply described. We +boys who are interested in our animals and birds are +in great need of such a book; it would have helped +me in any of the following cases. The summer resort +at which I have spent several summers is infested +with moles, yet for two years I have tried unsuccessfully +to obtain one alive. Last spring I had three +young crows, all of which died, not from inattention, +but because I did not know how to care for them. +Again, I have come across animals that I could not +find a name for. For instance, last summer I came +across two animals, one that resembled a shrew, an<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_291" id="Page_291">[Pg 291]</a></span>other +that looked somewhat like a mouse. Now if I +had had a book like this proposed one on hand, +I would simply have looked up its habits, would +have found its name, would have known how to tame +and feed it, and would have had a new addition to +my menagerie. At least, I could do this if the animals +were simply and plainly described as I suggested.</p> + +<div class='right'> +G. L. S.<br /><br /><br /> +</div></div> + + + +<p>Harold H.

Little of absolutely +reliable information has been made known, and until +something is officially stated by the court of inquiry, +judgment must be suspended.</p> + +<p>The court of inquiry began the investigation almost +immediately after its arrival at Havana. The sittings +were held on the lighthouse tender <i>Mangrove</i>, and +lasted for a number of days; the court then adjourned +to Key West.</p> + +<p>The investigation has been a secret one throughout, +and though the numerous correspondents have done +their best to obtain information, very few facts have +been ascertained; and fact and fiction have been so +mixed in the newspaper accounts that it is not safe to +accept as final any of the statements.</p> + +<p>In some foreign papers it has been hinted that the +disaster resulted from an accident due to lack of discipline +on board the vessel. The utter falseness of +this statement is shown by the facts. Just think of +a crew, or what was left of it, mustering without confusion +on the deck of a sinking, burning vessel, and +this vessel likely to be blown to pieces at any moment! +Could any better evidence of perfect discipline +and heroism be given? Every man took his +place without comment; each order was given quietly +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_294" id="Page_294">[Pg 294]</a></span>and coolly, and obeyed with precision. Is it possible +that an accident could have happened on that ship +through lack of discipline?</p> + +<p>Of course, many of the newspaper accounts have +more or less foundation in fact, for no effort is spared +by their correspondents to be the first to ascertain and +report the truth. The general impression now seems +to be that no explosion in the ship originated the +disaster.</p> + +<p>One New York paper stated that the most important +evidence was given by an officer of the <i>Fern</i>, who +is said to have discovered that the keel and armor-plates +of the <i>Maine</i> had been driven upward, this +proving in his opinion that the explosion must have +occurred under the vessel.</p> + +<p>The correspondent of this paper also said that the +ten-inch and six-inch magazines were upset and hurled +from their places in opposite directions, and added +that the forward boilers were overturned and wrecked. +There were no fires under these boilers at the time of +the explosion. Fires were under the after boilers +only.</p> + +<p>He added, that from the discoveries of the divers +there was every indication that the explosion came +from a point beneath the keel, just forward of the +conning-tower, and that this explosion drove keel, +plates, and ribs almost to the surface, the main force +of the explosion having been exerted on the port side +of the vessel.</p> + +<p>According to this report, the ascertained facts, collectively, +indicate that the contents of the reserve six-inch +magazine were exploded by the first explosion, +and that there was no explosion in either of the other +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_295" id="Page_295">[Pg 295]</a></span>two magazines. In the reserve magazine was stowed +twenty-five hundred pounds of powder, in copper +tanks, each of which contained two hundred pounds.</p> + +<p>Several of these tanks have been found by the +divers, all in crushed and shapeless masses. It is +important to note that in the six-inch and ten-inch +tanks recovered the excelsior used for packing the +charges shows no injury from flame or gases.</p> + +<p>The powder stowed in the six-inch reserve magazine +was used for saluting purposes only. The magazine +itself appears to have been utterly destroyed, +only a few traces being left to show the spot where it +was once located.</p> + +<p>The under part of the ten-inch magazine is wholly +inaccessible to divers.

In +an interview recently published in a New York paper, +he stated that it is a fact well known to residents of +Havana that its harbor was fortified with both torpedo +and submarine mines by order of General +Weyler. Early last spring Captain-General Weyler +engaged the services of Charles A. Crandal, an American +torpedo expert, formerly a member of the crew +of the United States ship <i>San Francisco</i>, to lay out +the mine and torpedo service of the harbor of Havana. +Crandal worked at night, and during the time that he +was in the service of the Spanish Government he +placed ten mines and seven torpedoes in the harbor.</p> + +<p>Crandal went to Havana in the latter part of 1895, +and was employed by his firm as a packer. He stated +that he had served as a marine and diver on the +United States cruiser <i>San Francisco</i>, while Capt. W. +T.

Crandal told him that these +contained mines, which he claimed were to be placed +on the west side of the island to prevent filibustering. +When Crandal had completed his work of placing the +mines and torpedoes in the harbor he was retained in +the Spanish service, but when General Weyler was +recalled he took Crandal to Madrid with him.</p> + +<p>In contradiction of Sherman's statement, one of the +Madrid newspapers which is known to express the +views of General Weyler declares that it has the authority +of one of the chiefs of the army, supposed to +be Weyler himself, for saying that there are no submarine +mines beneath the harbor of Havana.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> +<img src="images/tb.png" width="300" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /> +</div> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_302" id="Page_302">[Pg 302]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 400px;"> +<img src="images/illus-018.png" width="400" height="239" alt="THE GOVERNOR'S PALACE AT HAVANA." title="THE GOVERNOR'S PALACE AT HAVANA." /> +<span class="caption">THE GOVERNOR'S PALACE AT HAVANA.</span> +</div><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_303" id="Page_303">[Pg 303]</a></span></p> + +<p>After staying for only a few days in the harbor +of New York, the <i>Vizcaya</i> quietly sailed away +to Havana.</p> + +<p>Her departure was a great relief to our Government, +not because she was a menace to the safety of +New York, but because it was feared that harm might +come to her while she was in American waters.</p> + +<p>The presence of the vessel, however, in the greatest +of our ports at so critical a time made the War Department +realize the importance of protecting New York +more carefully.

Nevertheless, it is only +the few who win great profits, while the majority suffer.</p> + +<p>The Canadian Government is taking an active interest +in the Klondike, and it will probably undertake +before long to have surveys made to discover the +best route from the interior of Canada to the Yukon, +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_314" id="Page_314">[Pg 314]</a></span>and will also have the Mackenzie-River route improved. +Sir Wilfrid Laurier has lately expressed the +belief that there are gold regions in the Rocky Mountains +yet to be discovered.</p> + +<p>Our Government has several questions to settle +with Canada, arising out of the conflict of opinion regarding +the boundaries between the American and the +Canadian Klondike. These are likely to be settled, +however, in a perfectly friendly way.</p> + +<p>We continue to hear reports of suffering among the +miners, and the Government is doing its best to provide +relief. The best relief it can provide, however, +is to keep out of the gold regions those who are not +sufficiently provided with supplies to keep them alive +for a long period.</p> + +<p>An American correspondent from Dawson City has +lately given a gloomy picture of the way affairs are +managed in the gold regions. The Canadian Government, +he claims, is doing more for the miners +than our own authorities. The Canadian mail service, +for example, is much better than our own. +Throughout the Klondike, governmental discipline +seems to be very poor. Most of the money used is +United States money, but the store-keepers and the +owners of saloons do their best to keep it out of circulation; +they naturally find gold more profitable. +According to the correspondent, the miners are the +men who are making the smallest profits in the gold +regions for this very reason, as the store-keepers +have their own methods of measuring the gold and +estimating its value. No doubt by next summer +banks will be established where miners may exchange +their gold, at full value, for money.</p><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_315" id="Page_315">[Pg 315]</a></span></p> + + + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> +<img src="images/tb.png" width="300" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /> +</div> + + +<div class='center'> +<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="Progress"> +<tr><td align='left'><h2>Progress</h2></td><td align='left'><h2>Invention<br /> +and Discovery</h2></td></tr> +</table></div> + + + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 138px;"> +<img src="images/tb2.png" width="138" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /> +</div> + + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<h3>THE NICARAGUA CANAL.</h3> + +<p>The Nicaragua Canal has been so often referred +to lately that it will prove interesting to our +readers to know more about this project and what its +successful completion will mean to the maritime nations +of the world, and especially to the United States.</p> + +<p>After Columbus had discovered America and it was +known that the Indies had not been reached, but that +a new continent barred the way, the early discoverers +sought a short route past this continent. Hudson, +Baffin, and others sought this route in the North, and +others tried every available opening in both North +and South America, but of course unsuccessfully, as +it was soon known that no such route existed.</p> + +<p>It must be remembered that the expeditions sailing +to the new continent had no knowledge of it geographically. +It is hard to understand now, maps are so +familiar to all of us now, and we can in a moment call +up the shape of the continents, that then they had no +knowledge of the Western hemisphere except what +could be obtained by their ships slowly crawling along +the coasts.</p> + +<p>It was not unnatural, therefore, when they sailed +into what we now call the Gulf of Mexico and observed +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_316" id="Page_316">[Pg 316]</a></span>how far west they went before coming to land, that +they should expect to find the passage there.</p> + +<p>When you look at the map that we print herewith, +you will see that it is but a short step—for the mind—from +the strait that was not found to the idea of +connecting the two oceans by a manufactured strait +or canal. Much more than a century ago the suggestion +was made, and ever since efforts have been made +to build such a canal.</p> + +<div class="figleft" style="width: 212px;"> +<img src="images/map1.png" width="212" height="250" alt="map" title="map" /> +</div> + +<p>The Panama Railroad, a regular steam railroad for +passengers and freight, was built across the narrow +part of the Isthmus, as indicated in the map, in 1850 +to 1855, and at +that time negotiations +were definitely +entered into +looking toward the +construction of a +canal.</p> + +<p>Ferdinand de +Lesseps, a Frenchman, +who made +himself famous by +building the Suez +Canal, organized a +company in +France, and work +was commenced on +the Panama route. His plan was to construct what +is known as a sea-level canal across the very narrow +part of the Isthmus (see map). "Sea level" means +that it was to be merely a cut in which the water +would be all the way at the same level—an open clear +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_317" id="Page_317">[Pg 317]</a></span>waterway from one ocean to the other. This proved +impracticable on account of engineering difficulties +and the crossing of the Chagres River, and in 1887 it +was decided that it could only be built with locks.</p> + +<p>The system of using locks allows the water in different +parts of the canal to be at different levels. +This is done by closing both ends of each section of +the canal with gates; a second pair of gates is placed +a short distance beyond, and the space between these +is called a "lock." If a vessel is to be taken into a +section of the canal higher than that from which she +has come, she goes into the lock; water is then let +into this lock +from the higher +level by opening +a water-gate until +enough has entered +to float the +vessel up to the +level of the higher +section of the canal; the gates before the vessel are +then opened and she passes out into the new section. +If she is to be taken to a lower section, the reverse +of this operation accomplishes this: the water is let +out until she is on the lower level.</p> + +<div class="figright" style="width: 300px;"> +<img src="images/map2.png" width="300" height="154" alt="ROUTE OF NICARAGUA CANAL." title="ROUTE OF NICARAGUA CANAL." /> +<span class="caption">ROUTE OF NICARAGUA CANAL.</span> +</div> + +<p>Mr. Eiffel, the engineer who designed the great +tower in Paris which has his name, designed locks +for the Panama Canal, but in March, 1889, work was +stopped on account of lack of money.</p> + +<p>How extravagant an operation this canal was, is +told by the figures. Two hundred and fifty millions +of dollars were spent, and only one hundred and forty +millions' worth of work can be shown for it. This +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_318" id="Page_318">[Pg 318]</a></span>great difference created a scandal throughout France, +especially as the poorer French people had been led +to invest in canal shares, in the belief that they +would yield great profit.</p> + +<p>The Nicaragua Canal plan is a very different one. +The distance across the Isthmus at the point chosen +for this route is much greater than for the Panama +Canal, and yet there are fewer difficulties in the way. +Although the route is one hundred and seventy miles +long, there will have to be only twenty-seven miles +of actual canal and only six locks. This is on account +of the use of Nicaragua Lake and the rivers. +The lake is the largest of any lying between the +Great Lakes of the United States and Lake Titicaca +in Peru.</p> + +<p>The route, as laid out after many exploring expeditions +have been sent to Nicaragua, is: From Greytown +on the Caribbean Sea to the San Juan River by +canal, through this river to the lake, through the lake +a distance of over sixty miles in clear open water, +then by the Lajas River and by canal to the Pacific +Coast at Brito. It will be seen that about seventy-five +miles of the course is in the rivers and over sixty +miles in the lake. Of course the waterway of the +rivers will have to be improved, but the cost of this +is small compared to making an entirely new cutting. +The engineering expeditions have been over every +inch of the route to be traversed, and have made +thorough examination both of the surface conditions +and of the formation of the soil, etc.</p> + +<p>All engineers who have investigated the project +unite in believing it thoroughly practical and not +subject to any extraordinary difficulties.</p><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_319" id="Page_319">[Pg 319]</a></span></p> + +<p>It was at first planned that the United States Government +should build and control this canal, but a +bill for this purpose was vetoed by President Cleveland +on account of the conditions named by the Government +of Nicaragua.</p> + +<p>In 1889 a private company was formed to undertake +the work, but this company has since failed. It +is now hoped that bills can be passed and financial +arrangements made which will enable this company +to finish the work and the United States to control +the canal. The estimated cost of this canal is $150,000,000, +and, as General Tracy said in his speech, the +saving, etc., will more than compensate the Government +for the outlay.</p> + +<p>The importance of having this waterway joining the +two great oceans has long been recognized and is easily +seen. The distance from New York to San Francisco, +when vessels have to go all the way around +South America, is about fourteen thousand eight +hundred miles. If they could pass through a canal +at the Isthmus it would be reduced to under five +thousand, or about one-third of the distance. Think +of the saving in time and money that this would +mean!</p> + +<p>The great advantages of such a plan are evident in +a moment.</p> + +<p>We have referred to the speech of General Tracy, +who, you will remember, was, during President Harrison's +administration, Secretary of the Navy. In that +speech he stated that, were this canal completed, we +would need to have but one navy where now we practically +must have two,—one to guard the Atlantic +coast and one the Pacific coast.</p><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_320" id="Page_320">[Pg 320]</a></span></p> + +<p>If the canal were open, vessels of our navy could +be sent from one coast to the other in a very short +time.</p> + +<p>Moreover, the canal would make trade with the East—China, +Japan, etc.—much more direct than now, +and, because the voyage would be easier and quicker, +greatly increase that trade.</p> + +<p>It has been said that the nation that controls such +a canal will hold the "key to the Pacific," and with +the considerations of our shipping interests, and the +desirability of having our war-ships easily transferable +from one coast to the other, and our great expanse +of country, it would seem that the United +States should control it.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<div class="bbox"><h2>SELECTED LIST OF NEW BOOKS</h2></div> + + +<div class='hang'><b>There often</b> come into our hands great bargains in DICTIONARIES, ENCYCLOPÆDIAS, +&c., &c., and we are glad to give our readers the benefit of these bargains.</div> + +<div class="center"><br /><br />WE NOW HAVE ON HAND<br /></div> + + + +<div class='center'> +<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary=""> +<tr><td align='left'><div class='hang'><b>One set of THE AMERICAN ENCYCLOPÆDIC DICTIONARY, 4 volumes, <span class="u">full sheep</span>, in all 4731 pages, illustrated, 1896 edition—published at $20.00, AS NEW,</b></div></td><td align='right'><b>$10.00</b></td></tr> +<tr><td align='left'><b>One set.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** + + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + diff --git a/18663-h/images/camera.png b/18663-h/images/camera.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8ca5fdb --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/camera.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/club.png b/18663-h/images/club.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5301e60 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/club.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/cover.jpg b/18663-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f837b43 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/cover.jpg diff --git a/18663-h/images/div1.png b/18663-h/images/div1.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d24e250 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/div1.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/div2.png b/18663-h/images/div2.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..aee7748 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/div2.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/div3.png b/18663-h/images/div3.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c2fafa8 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/div3.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/editor.png b/18663-h/images/editor.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..512fe4a --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/editor.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/hand.png b/18663-h/images/hand.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9976458 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/hand.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/illus-018.png b/18663-h/images/illus-018.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..851e27e --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/illus-018.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/magprice.png b/18663-h/images/magprice.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..14da37a --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/magprice.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/map1.png b/18663-h/images/map1.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..29f6e9b --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/map1.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/map2.png b/18663-h/images/map2.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5f2c940 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/map2.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/piano.png b/18663-h/images/piano.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a1646cb --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/piano.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/prince.png b/18663-h/images/prince.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..756b34f --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/prince.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/srecord.png b/18663-h/images/srecord.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4e5b124 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/srecord.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/statue-tb.jpg b/18663-h/images/statue-tb.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fa3a2a0 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/statue-tb.jpg diff --git a/18663-h/images/tb.png b/18663-h/images/tb.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ee332a5 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/tb.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/tb2.png b/18663-h/images/tb2.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..95fa51b --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/tb2.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/tb3.png b/18663-h/images/tb3.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bc0cbda --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/tb3.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/testm.png b/18663-h/images/testm.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8b17173 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/testm.png diff --git a/18663-h/images/title.png b/18663-h/images/title.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..490d357 --- /dev/null +++ b/18663-h/images/title.png |
