Tho Belgian Government has ilecid
fd to hold an international e xhibition
on n largo scale at Krusscls in 1897, in
spite of tho fact that the Paris exhibi
tion will follow only threo years after
wards. In Japan tho largest privato bank
has been in busine8s for moro than
three centuries and has over thirty
branches. This upeaks well for tho
fctabil.ty of tho institutions, tho lion
My of eabhiors and HUpt-rvixiou of di
rectors. Dr. Lapncan, member of the Taris
Academy of Medicine, has been mak
ing an cxhauitivo study of what war
Las cot Franco in tho past century.
Ho concludes that from 1793 to 1893
battlo and diseano h.tvo killed 0,000,
COO French soldiers. Of this enor
mous number over 3,003,000 perished
betweeu 1801 and Waterloo (June,
1815). j

Even tho real cstato men are sur
prised at the thousands of now dwell
ings, flats, apartment houses and busi
ness blocks that are boing croctod in
New York at the present time, says
the Commercial Advertiser. Tho big
gest part of the boom is in the north
ern section of tho city, in Harlem,
and in what is known as tho Annexod
District, whers the activity in build
ing is something phenomenal. Five
story flat houses seem to spring up
out of the earth in a night, and to bo
occupied tho day after.
Hardware says: It is doubtful if
such a condition of affairs as exists at
present in the bioycle business has
ever before witnessed by our naturally
wide-awake dealers. Scarcely ,1f J ,
lug manufacturer of wheels bat has
found his sales through agents
greater in number than he ever sup
posed it was within his ability to
gather so far surpass his most san
guine expectations, that ho it to-day
tinnblo to supply to any appreciable
extent the constant, steady, and in
creasing demand for high-grade wheels
apparent on every hand.
According to the Chicago Times
Herald tho bicycle has very largely
stimulated the suburban movement,
i'oung householders and married poo
plo with small families have discov
ered that the bicyclo has solved the
transportation problem. Not only
thcbe, tut clerks and employes of both
sexes have miulo tho sauio discovery.
To a person who can rido a wheel it
matters littlo whether ho lives three
tuiles or ten miles from his placo of
buM'ncps, nor does ho care whether ho
is near tho elevated or tho cublo or
the steam cars. With littlo exertion
Le can ride at tho ruto of ton miles an
hour, and that will allow him to hvo
in a very far suburb, indeed. The re
sult is that this year people have beeu
buying bicycles and renting houses or
securiug boarding-places in tho far
boundaries of the city.
Suva the Detroit Freo Press: It is
in a lur;tiLriuu tone that soiuo of tho
leading papers of Europe are tolling a
new and interesting story in regurd to
Japan. They have sad lenly reached
tho conviction that tho littlo empire
is as .smooth iu diplomacy as she is
puitsant iu war. According to tho
European authorities referred to the
Powers have been induced to play
Japan's own game and now that they
havo been victimized see how tho
fcbells were worked. They say that
the empire expected interference so
soon us its terms of peace were an
nounced und arruuged its stipulations
with a view to having them interfered
with just as they were. Japan gets a
big pay in return for a comparatively
trnull amount of territory which she
used as a Jecoy, and is to remain in
control of thut territory uutil the debt
i paid. With such reul estate security
fc'ue is not liable to push tho debtor,
and the wise old Governments of
Europe are rubbing their eyes to take
another look at this precious upstart
th..t so cleverly took them io at the
Hist attempt. i. -
THE BALTIC CANAL OPENED
GRAND NAVAL DISPLAY.
A. Maritime Celebration That Bar.
pasted Previous Like Events.
Among (he greatest engineering works la the
history of the development of Europe, soil the
greatest achlevovent of Oerman unity. Is the
Daltlfl i' canal, which was opened Wednes
day with a eolobratlon In which the nations
ol the world participated, furnishing a tat .1
display unequalled in maritime history, lbs
eanul cuts the tongue of land thut runs
north and make the kingdom ot Denmark
and unites the Nor.h sea and the Baltic, giv
ing Germany control ot the line ot water
communication between her two seaboard.
Strategically this will add greatly to the em
pire's military strength. Commercially It
will give her shipping Interests a decldod Im
petus. It will make Kiel a port ot first-class
rank. The new waterway obviates the neces
sity ot the long voyage around tbe Danish
peninsula.
The canal, which with the Sues cut
divide the honor ot pre-eminence In
man-made waterways, was begun Jane A,
17. The estimate ot eoet ws (37.410,000,
and these figures bave not been exceeded.
The work has gone forwnrd without a bitch,
ami Is a triumph of German Knglneerlng
skill. I Hiring tbe summer months 8.600 men
were employed, and In winter 4,700.
Tbe Keltic sen canal differs In many ways
from the Hues rntml ami from the projected
Panama canal. The, Hues canal Is without
locks, since tlio mean levels of tbe Ited sea
and the Mcdlterranenn sre exactly the same.
1 he Ilaltic panel has two locks, one at cltber
end. It Is also crossed by two Immense rail
road bridges. Its length le 61 miles, while
that of the Sue, cnnnl Is 100 miles, including
about 73 mile of actual canal and 26 miles of
lakes. Ihe general width of tbe Ilaltlo canal
Is Ui'llfeet, but in plaeeg It widens out to .'lit
feet, allowing vessels to pass one another.
Tbe width of the Suez canal at tbe surface Is
0J5 feet.
The course ot the eanal li from Iloltenaa
near Kill, on tho Hal tic, across the l'rurslsn
province ot Holstlen to a point oa the Elbe
aear lirunsbuttel. The latter is below Ham
burg oa the Elbe and Dot far from where the
.la Into the North set.
The two big rail ay bridges, whioh bave
also driveways and promenades, croes tbe
canal at Uraencntbal and Levensau. That at
(irueneuthal baa already beooopen more than
a year. The construction of tbe bridge is re
markable. The supporting Iron structure
consists i if a slender arch. The roadway is
partly carried by it and partly suspended
fruui it. Tbe spun of 510 feet is tbe largest In
Germnny. The floor of tne Iirldge Is 138 feet
above the surface ot tbe water in the canal,
and the largest lull-rigged merchant and war
vesel eau pass it by lowering their topmaMs
The ends of the snau rests on strong piers of
masonry crowned with tower gates. The I
cost cf the Iron work alone was 413,000,000.

The most Imposing feature of the celebra

ctaok ships of the world were on parade.
Vucle hnm did not play second tddle la this
respect by any meaus. T tie star boats of tbe
White Hijuaitrou, the New York, Minneapo

tbe I'nltod watet. They eunlly etjual or out

point of speed, beauty and fighting qualities.
The American vessels shone with thous

the steamer Tantallon Castle, having on
board Hon. W. K. (Hailstone and a party who
were the guests of 8ir Donald Currle. Tho
presence of the "Grand Old Man" of Eng
land called forth universal regret that tier
man's Grand Uid Man, I'rinoe Bismarck, was
unable on account ot the feeble state of hi
health to be present. In the evening there
were fireworks and ton-blight process
ions and the Emporer entertained
his friends at a state dinner. The
German empire at the same time enter
tained tbe members of the Oerman
Itelchstag In a specially constructed ball
near Ho tenau. At the conclusion of these
functions the mamruvers of tbe Imperial
Oerman Navv took place, ending by tbe
Hobenr.ollern signalling thu Kaiser's adieu to
the departing foreign men-of-war.

After visiting tbe Ilusslan armored cruiser
Rurik Friday morning Emperor William laid
the last stone of tho baltio and North Bea
eanal In the presence of many thousands of
spectators, Tbe weather was brilliant and
tne ceremony took place in the open sir.
Tho scene ot tbe ceremony was embellished
by haiidaome design In landscape garden
lug, and the lighthouse standing close to tlio
pot showed the three bronze reliefs of Em
perors William I.. 1'rederlck III und William
II. Under tho relief medallion of Emperor
Willlnin I. is a black uinrblu tablet ou w Inch
la cugraved in gilt leitern: "Ills majesty,

seats fur about l.'i.UoO people. As the emperor
upprom'hed tho stouu Karon von lluol-liereu-berg,
prerideut of thu Itelchstag, addressed
bim as follows:
"May it pleuso your majesty to consum
mate uu vuierprlne the grauduur of which,
from a iiiecbnuioiil and Industrial point of
view, bits uover beeu eiunled on German
soli. After eight years the lubor bas been
accomplished with God' help aud without a
bitch. We now see tbu completed structure
which has long been planned, nud the ac
complishment of which hits been ardently
desired by Gcrmnu hearts. This structure,
which was at tlrst intended to Increase, the
defensive etruugth of tho butlou, will now
promote German tra le and commerce. We
may thus be permitted to Indulge in the
hope that the successful accomplishment of
of the work will permanently aud iu tbu
highest men-urn fiilllll the further object of
providing a pruiltubla opeulug for luturnu
lioual trsdo.
"May your majesty graciously duiga to
take this ma. let 1 Uuvo the buor of present

Inking the mullet the emperor bald;
"lu memory of Emperor Willlum the Great

His majesty then tupped the stone threo
time with the mullet suying.
"la tho name of tlio trluno God, In honor
Emocror William, iu tho weal of Germany
and the welfare of nations."
After the emperor had tapped the stone a
parchment nns pluced Inside ot it declaring
the circuinstituces of thu building and com
pletion of the cnnnl. lbo chuucellor, I'nuue
llohenlone, iu full official uulfurm, read tbe

that the navies of Europe ought to be used
for tbe advancement and maintenance of
Europe's mission of civilization was Judicious
and buppy. As bo said, all people need and
desire peace, iu which alone they can thrive.
A great step was made when the Ereucb
coatouted to take part lu the Kiel fetes. The
I'ruuoh and Umish Ambassador sat opposite
the Emperor at the Imperial bauiuet and bis
words seem to have been at least partly aim
