C'aiialH at» Rate Regulators
In the field of transportation there is
a decided revival of interest and activ
ity in interior canal construction. Be
fore the advent of the railroad the cannl
formed the most serviceable means for
the transport of freight between im
portant centers of industry. It had the
advantage over the freighting wagon
of being able to carry material in con
siderable bulk and at lower cost; more
over, under average conditions, it was
• more rapid method of transportation
Although the canal interests maintained
an active competition with the early
railroads, the all important question of
time decided the question in favor of
the latter and canal traffic declined,
many of thfe lines falling into disrepair
and finally into disase.
The decadence of the inland water
way has been more complete in some
countries than in others, for in France
and Germany there came, in course of
time, a revival of activity and a new
jen of construction which has brought
.canal traffic np to the position of im
ynrUnre. both as a regulator of rates
and an important auxiliary to the rail
roads. which it shonM prop**** £>IL
The canal system of Great Britain, on
the other hand, has declined until it
consists of a few inadequate and little
related. lines, whieh are too ill-equipped
and too insignificant to exert any
serious influence upon the freight traf
fic at large.
At the present time a royal commis
sion is engaged in an inquiry into the
system of the country; but snch
commissions move slowly, and the
necessity for individual action has led
/the individual interests of the great
snannfactaring counties of middle and
northern England to take action at a
-conference held at the invitation of the
.Birmingham Chamber of Commerce. The
points under consideration were, ttrtt.
that In order to provide healthy com
petition with the railroads, it was de
niable that a complete system of
through communication by water
should be provided between centres of
commercial, industrial, or agricultural
importance and between snch centres
and the sea; that in view of its national
importance, such a system should be
acqaired and controlled by the govern
ment, or by a pnbilc trust In which the
government should have the controlling
vote; and that in either case the sinking
fund and interest on capital expendi
ture should be guaranteed by the gov
ernment. The scheme should prove
sufficiently attractive to private capital
to render any appeal to the government
unnecessary ; indeed, it is questionable
whether to the heavy burden which it
already carries, the national budget
could add this additional heavy obliga
tion.
Here in the United States, our canal
system was never developed to the ex
tent that obtained in Europe. The de
velopment of the country to its present
proportions has taken place side by sid<
with that of its railroad system; indeed
it may truly be said that our stnpend
ous development in agriculture, coin
merce, and industry, has been ma<l<
possible by the railroad. With th<
cheaper and more quickly constructed
railroad available there was no indme
inert to undertake the construction oi
costly canals; and if we exoept the not
able Erie Canal, and a few otliers oi
less importance, the railroads have beer
practically free from canal competition
The enlargement of the Erie Canal
which is now being actively prosecuted
is destined to raiße that waterway U
something of the importance that li
possessed in its must flourishing days
and it is reasonable to expect that iti
•across in regulating rates and redirect
ing traffic into the natural channels frou
which it has been turned by arbitrary
discrimination, will prove a poworfn
stimulus to the extension of cana
systems between the principal manu
facturing and industrial centres of thi
country. Foremost among these wil
probably be the waterways conn*«ctin*
(he Pittsburg district with the Greal
Likes and the Great Lakes with th«
Gulf.—-Bel. Am.
THE Czar has appealed to Kings Wil
liam and Edward to help him out. but
no power on Earth can help him. Ontr
aide interference with their revolution,
a hundred years ago and better, set the
French people crazy, and they organiz.
«d armies, and whipped all Europe.
"PUBLIC discussion of the proposition
(or s constitutional convention has so
far failed to develop any overwhelming
demand for that measure. In addition
to the decided question as to its legality
raised by the fact that there is in the
present Constitution no provteon for a
new convention, it is well to remember
that the means which that iostrument
does provide for amending the Constitu
tion are adequate.

the boiler door. Wind had blown the
fire out and the air was heavy with gas.

of the boiler house and not realizing the
danger, because of his stupefied condi
tion, struck a match. Aloud explosion
followed, the pumper was hurled
through the door and landed *>') feet
away. After regaining his feet, a
glance toward the well showed the boil
er house in flames. Pontius says that
he still couldn't realize fully what had
happened though he hurried into the
burning structure and turned off the
gas By that time help had arrived and

MINOT LEDGE LIGHTHOUSE.
TUe Firat One Aimy With
It* OwopnnU.
Tfce lirst.lighthouse on Mlaot's l«*dse
wa.=? T>ullt hi IS4S It was an octagonal ;
tower resting on the tops of eight
wrought iron pllee eight Inches In dlnm
-1 eter nud sixty foot high, with their
bases sunk Ave foot In tho rock. These
piles were braced together in many
' os they offered lesa surface
j to than n solid structure. tJi.s
i lighthouse was considered by all au
i tlioritles upon the subject to bo excep
tionally strong.
Its great test came in April. 1851. On
the 14th of that month, two keepers
being In the lighthouse, an easterly
gale set fn, steadily increasing In force.
People on shore, and no doubt the
keepers themselves, watched the heavy
seas sweep harmlessly through the net
work of piles beneath the house and
feared no harm. On the 13th. however,
the wind and sea had greatly increased
and the waves were flung higher and
higher toward that tower in the air.
Yet all thought they surely could not
reach sixty feet above the leuge.
That night was one of keen anxiety,
for the gale still increased, ami all
through that dreadful ilriving storm
and darkness tho faithful keepers were
at their posts, for the light burned
brightly. <J*i Wednesday, the 16th, the
gale had become a hurricane, and when
at times the tower could be seen
through the mists an:l sea drift it
seemed to bend to the shock of tho
waves. At 4 o'clock that afternoon an
ominous proof of the fury of the waves
on Minot's ledge reached the shore,
a platform which had been built be
tween the plies only seven feet below
the floor of the keepers' room. The
raging seas then were leaping fifty feet
in the air. Would they reach ten feet
higher, for If so the house and the
keepers were doomed? Nevertheless,
whey darkness set in the light shone
out as brilliantly as ever. But the gale
seemed. If possible, then to increase.
What agony those two men must have
suffered! How that dreadful abode
must have swayed in the Irresistible
hurricane, and trembled at each crash
ins sea! The poor unfortunates must
have known that if those seas, leaping
always higher and higher, reached their
house it would be tlung down into the
ocean and they would be buried with
it beneath the waves.
To those hopeless, terrified watchers
the entombing sea came at last. At 1
o'clock in the morning the lighthouse
bell was heard by those on shore to
give a mournful clang, and the light
was extinguished. It was tho funeral
knell of two patient heroes.
Next day there remained on the rock
only eight jagged iron stumps.
How Katlarnc I* t'nn«e«l.
The fatigue felt after muscular ex
ertion Is chiefly due to the formation
within the muselos themselves of oer
-1 tain nitrogenous poisons which are
the result of chemical action going on
and which have a paralyzing action on
the muscular fibers. These poisons are
formed by the breaking up of certain
reserve materials which exist In tho
muscles without actually forming an
1 essential portion of them. When these
' reserve materials are thus split up they
| give out energy which may bo avail
able as a source of heat or as a cause
of motion. They accumulate In the tis
sues of persons who lead sedentary
' lives, and when such people take much
exercise they are very liable to an at
i tuck of gout or feverish prostration,
owing to the sudden accumulation
within the blood of too many waste
[ products for the kidneys to remove at
once. The immunity from fatigue pos
, sesaed by those who are continually
[ exorcising is due to ttc fact that those
reserved materials have been gradually
removed during the course of training
mid littlo remains capable of producing
gouty poisons when much exorcise Is
I taken.

It is this heat which literally burns up
' the body, and the very llrst day that
a bum ceases to renew the tissues by
taklug food he,loses about half a pound
or ,i pound in weight. Brain workers
glvO off a greater amount of heat than
physical workers; henee they are more

are obliged to lie up till they e:iu ob

body at a (julcker rate than it takes
nature to supply a quantity of fresh
tissue and muscle. The ages of twen
ty-one, twenty-eight, thirty-live and
forty-two are the most critical periods
of a person's lifetime, for at about
these ages nature will have litted the
body out with new raw materials,
which may or may not stand the test
of the person's ever changing habits of
life.

A Paint Education
in Three Minutes.
Oil is the life of paint. Dead oil,
de«d paint; it peels otf, washes off,
falls off. You have to paint again.
You've been there. Well, you have
been getting paint with dead oil in it.
Here's reason:
almost sure to
cause standing
•rices for canned oil. Get the^'best
linseed oil and mix it with Hammar
Condensed Paint yourself. Then you
know you've got fresh paint. I'aint
that will stick right, look right, wear
right and at the right price.
Men of experience always do this. It
saves money and saves work, too.
We'll explain paint points at length if
you will drop in on us some day—be
fore yon paint this season.
We are sole agents for the paint you
get without oil—and mix. It is the
famous Hammar Condensed Paint.
Gallon of paint, prallon of oil. Simple
enough'. Absolutely fresh and new.
Guaranteed for five years. We can
show you in two minutes how Hammar
Condensed Paint will save you money,
at least 25 per cent in cost and 100 per
cent in wearing qualities.
