Biggest Engineering Fee on Record.

The work of converting the unhealthy and disease-breeding city of Santos, in Brazil, into a modern commercial center, begun in 1892 by Professor E. A. Fuertes, director of the college of engineering at Cornell University, is still going on. The cost will be between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, and, as Pro-" fessor Fuertes receives 4 ner cent, of the total outlay, he will probably enjoy for some time the distinction of being the best paid engineer whose compensation is on public record.
