A CITY ON THE OCEAN
;e'RENCIO ENGIN'EER'S DAl'IING
PROPOSAL.
Would IRtrllri a ,Circular Steel Bing
,,large Enough to Contain 000,000
People, and Anchor It In Mid -
Atlantic,
A floating city, anchored in the
ocean between the Old and New
Worlds,is tho daring proposal of
Leon Foenquinos, a Marseilles engi-
neer.Monsieur Foenquinos 'wants
to build a circular steel ringlarge
enough to contain a population of
200,000 that woi, be "the most
majestic work of m. -:t.” It would be
anchored at a shallow spot, less than
200 feet deep, that is located In the
Gulf Stream about balf-way between
Paris and New York, at 43 degrees
longitude and 4$ degrees north lati-
tude. The ring would be 6$9 feet
high, its internal diameter 3,282 feet,
and its external diameter 4,600• feet.
"I have arranged for a handsome
outer boulevard and also an inner
one; as well as an intermediate
street," M. Foenquinos explains in a
memorandum he has sent to French
capitalists. "These circular boule-
vards will be cut by eighty-six radial
streets. Four full-sized Eiffel towers
will be erected at the four cardinal
points to serve as radio masts, light-
houses, and landing stations for air-
ships. Sky -scrapers will raise their
noble heads in the intervening spaces.
A subway will make the circuit of
the ocean city in the lower caissons.
The three boulevards will be lined
with gorgeous tropical plants, always
in bloom.
"The central pool or basin, which
will be entered 'through four broad
passageways, will serve as a harbor
for transatlantic liners and flying
boats. The pool will have no bottom
except the ocean.”
The principal purposes of this ex-
traordinary project are:—
A health resort --eternal spring-
time;
Landing place for transatlantic air
services of the future;
Meteorological station;
Fuel and freight depot for ship-
ping lines
A resort, like Monte Carlo, outside
international laws; •
Base for life-saving services.
"I particularly wish • to explain
that my steel island is not simply a
landing place for air lines across the
Atlantic," M. Foenquinos declared
when interviewed by a Tit -Bits repre-
sentative. "It will be an actual city.
"We shall have luxurious hotels
for tourists who • wish to take a
health treatment or break their jour-
ney for a few days; theatres, picture,.
palaces, bathing beaches, and every
possible amusement, as well as a
handsome casino.
"The principal shipping and come
secrela' interests of all countries will
have offices there. Ocean liners and
air liners will be passing every day,
every hour. Life-saving boats will be
clashing out when appeals come.
Mails, cables, wireless, telephones—
all will hum. Special ambassadors
will represent every nation. The new
Atlantis will be the eight wonder of
the world."
To protect his floating city during
rough weather, the inventor has de-
vised a protective system consisting
of radial and circular steel dykes,
resting on floaters, that will be ar-
ranged somewhat like a spider's web.
This whole mass of steelworks, which
will be semi-rigid, will be held to-
gether by steel braces and wire. ca-
bles. The idea is to use rustl.ess steel,
coated • with tar. The field of dikes
will be anchored to the bed of the
sea.
'The city proper will be built on a
sort of ring or crown that will be
entirely. metallic," M. Foenquinos ex-
plained. "The base will consist of
ninety-six huge caissons more than
660 feet long, 100 feet wide and 100
feet deep, fastened to one another.
These caissons will be the cellar of
Atlantis, for they will contain: power,
heating, and lightning plants, as
well as all the shops and machinery
required for repairing ships, also de-
pots, warehouses, and coal supplies.
There will be a system of Subterran-
eanwith the
streets, 11 connecting
can st ts, a�.
highways above, and a subway mak-
ing the round of the city.' At least
10,000 families will be required to
operate all these services. The esti-
mated population of 200,000
is in
addition to these families.
"The entrances into the harbor
will be majestic. Passageways will
be cut through the ring directly un-
der the four full-sized. Eiffel towers,
the ring being braced together at a
Sufficient depth under the water to
allow the passage of the largest ships
afloat."
M. Foenquinos estimates the cost
of this floating city at $4,000,000,-
000. He realizes what a tremendous
investment this sum represent, but
he is absolutely convinced that it
would be a profitable affair.,
He estimates the annual gross rev-
enue at the meretrifle of $800,000,-
000, and figures that the entire cost.
of construction would be redeemed
in less than seventy-five years.
"The whole world willflock to my
eity. Every liner afloat will be forc-
ed to stop there to let the passengers
see this eighth wonder of the world.
"I don't want to give the idea that
life will be prohibitive on: Atlantis.
It should not cost any more per day
than on a trip from Europe to, Amer-
ica. We must make a profit on our
investment and gradually wc, k off
the gigantic cost, but I doubt whe-
ther we need earn more compara-
tively than a big London or Paris
hotel.
"Atlazitis should have au 'interua-
tienal status. My hope is to find a
committee of solid bankers from var-
ious countries who will act as a
board of directors and guarantee to.
stock and bond holders that their in-
teresta willbe r,trefully handled."

Reply to Ingxriring Lady Suppressed
by Depart rm t Head.
The administration of the Tangier
Zone, says a correspondent of the
London Weekly Times, is making•
great e,lfor;s to destroy the young
locusts which have hatched out re
centiy and are doing great damage In
Ire country. The gendarmerie and
hundreds of villagers are being em-
ployed in driving the "hoppers" into
epecialiy dug ditches where they are
destroyed. Certain garden quarters
have been surrounded by low walls of
sine er tin over which the Young lo-
custs Cannot crawl. The country in
places Is black with there.
An Englishwoman visiting Tangier
inquired as to the' manner in which
the young locusts were being destroy-
ed. It appears that a youthful and
facetious clerk in the Department of
Agriculture replied that small Arab
boys were hired to catch and decapi-
tate them one by one by pulling their
heads off. The indignant lady has
formally protested, threatening
prosecution for cruelty. She asks
whether it would not be possible, and
more humane, for .each locust as it
is caught by the boy to be laid on
the ground and trodden on.
I lean that the clerk's reply, in-
viting the lady to supply the adminis-
tration with a humane'- killer, has
been intercepted by the head of the
Department and suppressed.
HOW ' PARIS. DOES IT!
Employ Gramophones to Answer
When Number Is Engaged.
Paris has found a new way of get-
ting even with telephone callers who
want to argue when told that a num-
ber is engaged. You 'lift off the re-
ceiver and put through a call.
"The line is occupied, Call again
later," says the voice. "But look
here," you cry, "1 am sure it can't
be." "The line is occupied. Call
again—" continues the voice. Ar-
gument is useless, for you are talking
to the gramophone at the exchange,
and gramophones don't listen.
The only thing to do is to hang up
the receiver and try in a few min-
utes' time. Then, quite possibly, the
same voice will tell you that the line
is out of order or that the number
has been changed. In any case, you
must grin and bear it.
This is a picture of what may hap-
pen, though actually the new device
is ,eat,d to be working satisfactorily.
It has been installed with a view to
saving labor and the tempers of tele-
phone operators by putting an end to
needless discussions. At each ex-
change there are several gramo-
phones, each provided with appropri-
ate discs. If .a number is engaged
the operator merely switches the line
to the gramophone, which says so. At
an automaticexchange the operation
is performed mechanically.
CHAMPION FASTERS.
Woman. Went Twenty -One Months
Without. Food.
When Mme. Henault recently com-
pleted her hunger strike of twenty-
eight days in a French prison, Scot-
land came forward with the assertion
that the feat was by no means a re-
cord and that it had been exceeded
several tunes in Scotland. It cited a
ease in 1772 which -became known as
"Pennant's Fasting Woman of Ross -
shire," from the fact that Pennant
described it in his "Tour of Scot-
land."
Katherine McLeod, aged 85, was
attacked with a fever,.. which occa-
sioned partial blindness and almost
total inability to take food. Her par-
ents sometimes put a little into her
mouth, but for a year and three-
quarters they had no evidence that
either food or drink •passed her lips.
By forcibly opening her mouth and
depressing her tongue they tried to
compel the passage of food, but a suf-
focating construction led them to
desist.

Jasper is an impure variety of
quartz. It. is compact in texture and
as It is very hard, takes a tine polish.
It occurs hi many colors, dark green,
brown, yellow, and sometimes blue
or black. -Occasionally, it is found
banded with sevexal different colored
stripes. Unlike chalcedony, light does
not show through it and it does not
break into splinters. The term jasper
is now restricted to opaque stones
but the ancient "Janis" was partial-

Mr. Whittier the 'United States poet
once: declared: "I ani really not a
hymn -writer, for the good reason`
that I know nothing of music, only a
very few of my pieces were written
for singing. A good hymn is the best
use to which poetry can be devoted,
but I do not claim that I have suc-

The religious world has, however,
been unwilling to allow the rich mine
of poetic beauty, sweet tenderness,
and deep human sympathy Whittier
endowed us with to go unexplored,
in the ever persistent search for
hymns of the sanctuary. Many and
varied are the types of human char-

He published many books of 'verse,
and many of his poems are reckoned
among the choicest productions of his
country's literature, such for instance
as "Snow -Blind," "Maud Muller:,."
"Barbara Freitchie" and ,`Telling the
Bees." He was emphatically a poet
of the country, its woods, farms and
waters, and as one writer puts it, "his
life was simple and sweet as is xnost
of his poetry."
He lived at Boston,and parts of
each year at Amesbury, Mass:, at

Whittier's anti -slavery poems have

ibis other work has little interest for
this generation. In fact it is quite
possible that as years pass on, he will
be best and chiefly remembered for

from him.

sung. This was Jeremiah Clarke, a:
well known English musical writer
who died in : 1707. His anthems,
"Bow down thine ear," and 'Praiee
the Lord, 0 Jerusalem," are still in
use, as are a. few of his songs, "The
bonny greyey'd. morn," for instance,
and some of those from the ctuaintly.
entitled "Pills to Purge Melancholy."'

years ago, but is not as frequently
