The Oldest Canal,

A Harrisburg, Pa, correspondent of
The New York Sun says: The Union
canal, which was the first canal pro-
jected on the American continen t,hav
ing been suggested by William Penn
in 1890, and its route surveyed seventy
years later, before there was canal in
operation, even in England, is to be
sold. The route on this canal was sur
veyed by David Rittenhouse, the as
tronomer, and DR.. William Smith, pro-
vost of the University of Pennsylvania,
in. 1765. It extended from the Schuyl-
kill river, near Reading, to the Susque-,
hanna, at the present site of Middle
town, Dauphin county. It was the first
link in a proposed chain of water COM
municatiOn between the Delaware river
and Lake Erie, project SO gigantic for
that early day, when canals and even
turnpikes were unknown, that the pro-
jectors We're believed by the people to

its old Portage railroad.
The Revolutionary war inter upted
work on the pioneer canal, and in 1871
Robert Morris, Robert Fulton, ,and
Tench Francis, became interested in it.
The work was too far in advance of the
times, however, and it was not COM
pleted until 1927. The canal is eighty
nine miles in length, and some of the
greatest engineering work of the day
was necessary in its construction. The
trst tunnel in the United States was
bored for this canal through nearly 800
feet of solid rock, and the summit of
the canal being higher than its terminal
feeder, pumping apparatus had to be
constructed to raise the water to the
necessary height. The canal cost
S5,0O0,0O0. Railroad transportation
having made the ancient waterway un-
profitable, few years ago it was aban-
doned and it is now offered for sale.

The busiest persons. i'm thisscity at

probably is unknown in any other

There. are few families in this city from
the highest to the lowest, that fail to.
put down a supply of sauerkraut every

heads OF cabbage day during the put
ting down season: His cabbage-c cutter
he imported from Germany, and he
says there is, not another Like it in this
country.
1t is the well ll-to-do families and sa-
loon-keepers who hire their cabbage
cut, although the charge is only one
cent a head. The saloonkeepers are
the best customers of the cabbage-cut-
ters, for they order hundreds of heads
cut at a time. Sauerkraut for lunch is
one OF the delicacies of Reading all the
year round
During the last half of October and
the first half OF November, Cutter
Bruekman estimates, there are not less
than 1000 heads Of cabbage cut every
day for sauerkraut in Reading, or co.
900 heads for the season. Those who
do not hire their kraut crop cut have
cutters of their own, or wait. their turn
to borrow of a neighbor who has. No
Reading household is exactly complete

who cuts cabbage for kraut profession
