R MSI NG THE MAINE.
On* would hardly think that in
uusins the Main* engineering work
?ooM be undertaken the like of whi<l?
has never been attempted before
Ye' such is the fact, as *e get it
f-om Erc;nevri;,g N-?s. That pap<"
presents the details of the mork. and
they are interesting, even to the
layman
The new urn! untried engineering
"a*.k lies in the construction of the
<effer dam about the Maine wreck,
which dam, in character, dimensions
*nd conditions to be overcome differs
from any other ever btillt It is to
"v built against steel piling so as to
surround the wreck of the ve*sel
aboat 32S feet in length, and lying
in thirty-seven feet of water. The
uxm must be strong enough to with
stand the pressure on all sides, and
b.gh enough to keep out the water in
*!1 tides and weather.
This plan is considered the only
feasible on* which will permit the
engineers to study the wreck and de
termine its cause. When the dam is
pumped oat the wreek will be Open
tc the inspection of the experts Just
.vj it sunk after the terrific explov
ion. It is on y by such inspection
taat the experts can get at the
trtth as to the cause o* the expkxs
!on, so far as ?e wish to determine
whether it wa> external or internal.
An additional appropriation of
has been voted for this
?ork. S30.0M of whii h will be re
qt ired for the completion of the
coffer dam: for pumping out
the dam and bracing the ship: J-'-W
<KH> for removing the wreck and ro
.-torinc the site to its oririnal con
dition: and IKv'nv for carinc for th
it ad and setting the mainmast of
the ship as a monument at Arling
tt n. The remaining K&.909 will be
vsed for returninc the plant used in
undertaking to the 1'nited Stat>^
and for incidental expense. The only
possible credit to the account will
le som. to be realized from
th sale of the steel piling U;-ed in
the construction of the coffer dam
As an engineering feat, and as
a work of National good faith and
f* rness. to say nothing of the pa
t-icUc duty involved, the raising of
the Maine will be infinitely to the
credit of this country. ? Portland Tel

FOR THE PROTECTION OF LEGA
TEES.
Massachusetts is considering a
bill for the protection of legatees ;
or to be more exact, such a measure
has been introduced before th. Mas
rachusett? Legislature According to
the provisions of the bill a man that
has made and executed a will may
g>. before a Probate Court and have
tb question of his legal ability
thus to dispose of his property pass
ed upon, favorable determination of
'be Probate Court will be a matter
of record. and will contests on the
?isoal grounds wiil be stopped.
If this bill passes. as it seems
likely to, and is put to the test,
and stands it, it should serve as an
ix&mple for similar legislation in
ev?TT other state. The moral aspect
of will-breaking, as a rule, reminds
on? of looting. Where an estate is
lar*e there is general greed in con
Jucction with conniving legal talent
to contend all sorts things, and
frequently to the blackening of rep
itaUon
It is sometime* the case that the
owner of a large estate deems it
bef that his children, for example,
should not inherit the bulk of his
wealth: thinking it better for them
to earn their own way in the world
In such cases, where property is left
to charitable institutions, the "un
Kind mind" or "undue influence"
contention is almost sure to pop up
as the basis of a will contest. The
allegation of the contestant is a lie.
and the purpose is to get the money
