McGee of St Louie In a talk before the members of tha City dub, the Chicago Tribune. Dr. MoGee, who a member of national waterways commission appointed by President Roosevelt and one of tbe leading geologists of the country, on die "Control of Our Inland Waterways." He declared that tha railroads of the country have reached their capacity and that the coal supply Is being rapidly depleted as a result of toe tremendous demand for fuel In modern Industry. The substitution of ass for steam, he said, will work an enormous saving of eoal In that one ton of coal will as much energy for a gas engine as throe of coal will produce used as fuel In the production of steam. He also urged tbe construction of a complete system of Inland waterways In order that the manufacturing and eommerctal interests of the Interior of toe country might have adequate transportation faculties tor tbe annually in creasing products.

"Hitherto the Atlantic and the Partite seaboards have controlled policy this country," said Dr. McGee. new op to the people of the Interior to demand their share of lm proremeuto. This most consist In the Improvement of e-gre a Inland waterways. "The Mississippi valley la the greatest empire la the world and contains half of the people of this nation.

They are dependent upon transportation for the success or failure of toelr boat In speaking of tbe substitution of gas for steam as motive power, Dr. McGee said that Nlaeu. esse of the leading shipbuilders of the country, now is building an ocean liner at Elisabeth, N. designed to cross tbe Atlantic In four days, with gas as the propelling power. The new liner, he will carry only 40 per cent of the coal needed on a steam propelled liner.

"Tbe railroads have reached their capacity with steam," continued Dr. McGee. "Also there Is not enough iron mined In the United States te supply the rails needed tor adequate railroad transportation. Neither Is there enough labor to mine the Iron needed. "Ten tons of rails are required to toe mile, and when we know that there are approximately 200,000 of road la the United States we can begin to form some sort of an Idea of the quantity of rails needed.

"There 117 000 000.000 Inverted In the railroads of this country. A tenth of that stun spent on our waterways would equip the finest transportation system world "Here are twenty with a population of more than 40,000,000 people, half of the population of toe absolutely dependent upon transports Uaq tor' success or fhtture.

Augustus Baker on bis farm, near Gettysburg, has found a lot of asbestus, exceptionally fine, free from foreign matter of any kind and from grit It ts pure white, and nowhere is It more than three feet from the surface. SPO RTING WORLD Yanks Won Many English Derbies.

It la probably not known to tbe genrrallty of people that of the last six of the groat English Derby five have been won by Jockeys from America, and, though on none of tbaae occasions tbe finish been of an absolutely hair raising nature, yet on the sther hand, not one of these had been so easily won but that It required all the skill of a most accomplished rider to bring shout the result. Indeed, tbe very conformation of Bpsom course calls for an ample supply of both nerve and horsemanship throughout the whole of tbe Journey before victory can be achieved. The taktag place about half a mile from and opposite tbe stands, the horses then gallop up a slight Incline tor about half a mile, after which the next half mile la rather downhill until the famous Tottenham corner is reached, where they turn Into the one-half mile stretch. Round this same corner Fred Archer of days gone by was reputed to have raced many times with one leg too rails. This last half mile is a very gentle decline.

The "blue ribbon of tbe turf" the great race la called In England, and the term "Derby" has now become a household word In all countries where horse racing prevails, since every nation has now Its "Der by," and all over tbs globe stirring contests take place and great multitudes attend. Tbe scene at Epaom on Derby day cannot be adequately described, but must be viewed to be realised. Dentin to Be an Acter. of Mike Danila from the ranks of the New York National ball tram has left a big hole te world's champions Deako was a great bitter, a reliable fielder and a speedy runner. Mike has left ball to go on the stags.

His wife Is an actress, and they will Join forces. Joe Gene. No other pugilist in tbe ring has fought so many really hard battles as Gans. He is without doubt the cleverest man in tbe ring today, bar none. In any class.

He has the peculiar faculty of being able to pick out the vulnerable point of an opponent and goes at It os unhesitatingly as a surgeon with a knife. Withal be Is most merciful, and even with his groat cleverness he takes no pleasure In cutting his adversary to ribbons. He Is one of the many ptris fighters who do not save money. He Is very liberal and an Inveterate gambler, lie backs himself in those fights that be tries to win and dallies with every known game of chance. Gans is what many persona term a born pugilist and had be remained strictly square In bis ring endeavors he would without doubt be one of toe most popular fighters In the ring today despite bis color.

The Game Not fie Good. Malachl Ktttredge, the new manager of the Montreal team, said tbe other day that the baseball of today Is not the game of old. "We miss the great hitters of the past, like Conner, Brouthers, Ewing. Mike Kelly, Orr Delchanty and Hardle said the veteran catcher. "We do not see so many long drives nowadays as were frequently made by those old stars.

Then, again, the catchers of today are not like Bennett, Ewing, Totn Daly, Ganiel, Buckley, Mike Kelly, Clements and Morgan Murphy. Torn Daly, by the way, was one of tbe beat catchers I ever saw, while Amos Ruste was the greatest pitcher that ever stood In a box." Davy Jones Satisfied. Maiuiger Jones declares himself well satisfied with tbe result of the Chicago American champions' trip to Mexico All of the players are In fine shape. White's condition alarms omlekey, but "Doc" Is never In any kind of condition until well on In the eas on, but it's a cinch that he will round Into good form before long. It Josh Joshing? Joshua Crane, Harvard football coach, will start a new football school, teaching only technical points.

Idea Is on correspondence basis, funny fellow Perhaps Joshua is only Joshing. Show me the man who has more to offer In fine residence property for the price and more desirable as to location, between city and sisters school, the three minute walk from basinem to midst of churches and finest of neighbors and I will show you a man who does not see or think or figure as I do.
