Inland waterways need national system says Johnson
Prof Emory Kr Johnson argues inland waterways, rivers, canals, lakes and coasts cover 55 000 to 40 000 miles with only half navigable. He notes Congress has spent 208 million on Mississippi valley rivers since 107 and that private rail capital vastly exceeds public inland navigation funding. He calls for a single federal authority to plan and maintain a nationwide network, with future gains from public, not private, control. He cites France and Germany as models and stresses public rights and national economic needs.

In a tale from Ernest Dandet about Joseph de Maistre and Comte Maced, the Venetian ambassador De Tron lamented not seeing Austria’s sovereign.

Explosive with Safe Detonation Aids Quarry Work
A new explosive recently placed on the market is promoted as safe to handle under all conditions since it detonates only by initiation. In trials at a quarry it exploded when deto nated but remained inert to hammering hot iron or gun powder, and did not spread fire or fumes. Quarry owners see value for stone blasting as cheaper and less hazardous than existing explosives.
