NAVfcGATION OF THE PROPOSED

Some Interesting Particular* of Its |
Construction and Probable
Length of Time It
Will Take.
—
To make it possible to pass a ship
■ from ocean to ocean, even by a high
j level design, will require from six to '
eight . ears, and by one at sea level J
ten years, though possibly 12. Which
of the two types, all things considered,
is the better is a question requiring
great thought for the proper answer,
writes William Barclay Parsons, in
Century. On the one hand, there are
require^ a greatly increased lnve»t
ent of capital and some delay in time,
although the latter in the life of such
an enterprise is probably of small
amount. The deciding factor will
probably be the practical usefulness |
of the type when completed. No mat- •
ter what the design, the canal cannot !
be navigated its entire length by large
steamers with the freedom that ;
they pass up and down a broad 1
river. It is contemplated that [
the width of thd canal at the j
bottom shall be about 150 feet,
giving a width on the surface of from j
200 to 350 feet, according to the flat
ness of the side slopes, dependent on
the varying local character of the rock
MODERN TREASURE TROVE.
Island in Lake Michigan Yield* to |
Searchers a Large Store
of Gold.
From an island off Grand Traverse
bay. in Lake Michigan, two men. ac- j
cording to uncontradicted report, have
just dug up >150,000 in gold. It is sup
posed to be gold that was stolen from
Chicago at the time of the great fire.
It is also stated to be ‘ Spanish gold.”
though the currency of the pistole and
the doubloon in Illinois only two years
before the crime of ’73. is a fact in
financial history not hitherto noted.
This, however, is mere detail. The
important fact, is that a treasure hunt- j
er has actually unearthed a very sub
stantial sum, and in real money. it
will put hope into the hearts of many
hitherto unsuccessful Excavators, and
the stocks of treasure-prospecting
companies—none of which, so far as
we know, are listed on any exchange
—should go up several points.
The phrase “like finding money”
(one of the most familiar in our pop
ular speech) shows in itself how even
humdrum twentieth-century society i3
permeated by the notion of treasure
trove. Other equally common fighres
of speech, it will be noted, relate
to experiences as familiar as them
selves. Spilt milk and chickens count
ed before they are hatched come with

But hardly anybody finds money.

or earth through which the canal will
be dug. As large modern steamers
have a beam of 75 feet, it is obvious
that two such vessels cannot pass each
other in the regular channel.
On arriving at either terminus the
ship will report to the harbor master
for a permit to pass, and, if she be a
sailing vessel, for a tug to take her
through. After an inspection, the tak
ing on of coal, supplies and a pilot, and
being measured for and paying toll
charges, the vessel will then receive an
order / entitling her to proceed. This
orderwill be like a train order on a
single-track railway, giving authority
to go to a certain point, and there
either to meet and pane a ship coming
from the other end or to draw to one
side and permit the other ship to pass,
or to get other orders to proceed fur
ther. The passing of ships will be ar
ranged by constructing “sidings;” that
la, widenings of the channel into
which a vessel can draw and moor to
clusters of piles. When the passing is
made the vessel then advances to the
next siding where a vessel is expected,
all of which will be controlled by tele
graphic orders from a central dis
patcher’s office, where there will be a
chart showing the exact position of
any ship at any time, corrected in
stantly by advices received from the
local stations. Along the banks there
will be semaphore signals by day and
lights by night, indicating the position
of obstructions or vessels ahead, so as
to prevent collisions.*
On arriving at a lock the steamer
will find a structure similar in princi
ple to the small canal locks with
which the reader is familiar, but vast
ly larger. These locks will have a
length of about 1,000 feet and a width
in the clear of 100 feet, in order to ac
commodate not only the steamers 800
feet long now building, but to allow
for such increase in size as may be
realized. The gates closing the locks
at the down-stream end will have a
height equal to the depth of the canal,
the height to lift, and, say, ten feet of
surplus, or a total of 75 to perhaps 100
feet, according to conditions—dimen
sions far in excess of those of any
other lock gates in the world. As soon
as the lock is entered and the ship
made fast so that It cannot be moved
about by the in or outrushing water,
and yet may rise or fall with the
change of level, the great gates behind
her will be closed d water admitted
into the lock from the higher level or
drawn off into the lower as the vessel
is ascending or descending. When
the new level is reached the other
gates are opened, and once more the
vessel continues her journey between
banks crowded to the water’s edge with
the wild tangle of a tropical jungle or'
the long-leafed banana trees set out Id
regular rows in plantations. On arriv
ing at the far terminus the pilot is
dropped and the vessel disappears at
sea.
American Bank in Japan.
An American bank in Japan, as a
profitable enterprise and a great aid to
the American manufacturer, is a sug
gestion from C. A. Francis of the
Higher Technical school of Tokio, who
also advises his fellow-Yankees to
study Japanese manufacturing condi
tions and needs. One Tokio shop em
ploying from 15 to 20 workmen makes
by hand a sewing machine which is
claimed to be better than a famous
American product of which it is a
copy. 'It is sold for nine yen. while a
poor quality of the American machine i
costs from 40 to 50 yen. How shall I

phrase goes into homely language be
cause people are thinking about find
ing money, not because they are do
ing it.
One reason for the fascination which
hidden treasure has for persons of
all ages and periods is that oji no other
ground do romance and practical sense
approach so closely. That there were ,
pirates along our coasts—enough of
them to make up a popular series of
the now extinct cigarette pictures—ia
as indisputable as that there were
signers of the Declaration of Independ
ence. They certainly amassed great
stores of gold and silver. It was their
regular practice to bury this, and no
body has ever dug it up. Therefore,
it is still where they buried it, for
anybody’s taking.
JILTING PROVES COSTLY.
When Engagements Are Entered In
to in Germany They Must
Stand.
It Is no light matter to enter into
an engagement in Germany. Cupid
plays by no means the principal part
in the contract. The German law
grim, practical, relentless—is close at
hand to see that no wrong is done to ,
either party. No wonder, therefore,
that an engagement is entered into
only a little less lightly than the
estate of matrimony itself. Once the
betrothal feast has taken place the
knot is as good as tied. The one who
breaks the engagement, except for
good reasons, recognized by the law
as such, is obliged to pay, not for
damaged affections or broken heart,
but for material loss. If the bride
have given up a lucrative employment
in the prospect of marriage she must
be compensated, and all moneys spent
by parents or guardians for the trous
seau, the wedding breakfast, etc., must
be made good.
On the other hand, the bride-to-be
who jilts her fiance without good cause
is required to make good to him any
loss he may have sustained through
her influence, as in exchanging a good
business for one less lucrative, in or
der to be near her; renting a house in
prospect of marriage or entering into
any contract in which money is in
volved. All such claims must be estab
lished within two years.
The majority of women ovar men
in Germany is more , than 800,000. In
the small towns, therefore, the prob
lem of marrying the young girls is
getting to be a very serious one.
When a hostess wishes to give a ball
or a small dance she finds that for •
50 or 60 young girls she can find
only about six young men. For this
reason the boys in the high schools
and gymnasia are permitted to go
out early, although it is openly ae
linnwlpfiered that it is not eood for
them to be thus distracted from their
work. The number of girls training
for business or professional careers in
creases every year as their chances for
marriage decrease.
King Alfonso’s Night Guards.
King Alfonso is perhaps more se
curely and carefully guarded during
the hours of darkness than is any oth
sr European monarch, except, perhaps,
the sultan of Turkey. For four cen
turies the slumbers of the successive
sovereigns of Spain have been watched
ill night by the "Monteras de Espino
sa"—a body of men to whom is rele
nted the exclusive privilege of guard
ing their monarch from sunset to sun
rise. They must have an honorable
military career, and be natives of the
