comes to us with its accustomed reg1-
larity, and on examination of the Nov
elnber number, we find that the articles
are of a nature to make them highly
acceptable TO the readers of this popu-

ial, "The Admirals Ward" gains in in
terest, and the shorter tales are exceed
ingly well told. "Wanderers In The
Heavens, " winter resorts in Southern
Europe" and Jennie June's "Talk With
Women" are worthy of note. There is
a variety of very readable articles, some
ofwhich are illustrated. on instructive
topics, and every department, including
the Fashion, Household" and "Cur-

filed. A handsome oil picture forms
the frontispiece, and the art department

The importance of the new canal be-
tween the Chesapeake aud Della ware
bays has developed al inquiry into the
earliest history of the undertaking. AS
early as 1893, under Gov. Ogle, an act
was passed by the Legislature 10 incoI-
poTate q company for cutting a canal
between the two bays. The project lay
dormant until 1924, when steps we're
taken resul Ing IN he Completion OF tire
present canal in the year 1929. This,
however, Is not all the history. In a
lecture bsfore th9 Maryland Historical
Society Rev. George A. Leakin shows
that the proposition for canal by the
SaSsafras route was made as early as
1879 by bankers and SIuy ter, the ex-
plersrs of the Labidlst colony. The La
bidis.s derived ,heir name from Jean
Labidie, jesuit priett, who, becoming
q Jausenikt, establ shea a communistic
settlement In vari ous places, dying at
Altoona, Denmark, 1874. The coloRitt'
left Wiewsrd, HC land, for Snrinam,
given to the Dutch In exchauge for New
York. But tnis experiment fa ling,
bankers a I'd ny ter we're then seut To
America in 1879 for suitable locality,
and they reported IN iavor OF that b
tween the Bohemia aud Elk rivers as
a ne Bile piece OF land" and this they
purchased in 1884 fr I'M Augustine H' r
man, who had received his maRor by
pate ,t from Lord fillmore in 1860. In
thei- report the explorers say: "Wben
the Dutch covered this country camel
of six miles was much talked OF con-
Meeting the Appr q 1rmene asd Bohemia
creeks. By this the Marylandtr. might
buy II ON the South or Delaa are river

to the grtat bay OF Virginia, AS now
they do. is well to consider whether
this In POI t ant subject should not be
brought to higher althorit es than to
particular Governor. What Is now
done by land in car m ght be d0ne by

history of the Labidists Is tnus ident.-
fed with q work Of natloLal impoi-
tance. They were also connected " tn
