a SCOTCH SHIP CANAL.
THE Proposed Improvement OF the Canal
between the Clyde and Forth.

THE Proposed Improvement OF the Canal
between the Clyde and Forth.
The agitation in favor OF canals and
waterways, which has been waged in
England for some time hack, has at
last extended to Scotland. Such agita-
tions are contagious, and 1t is not
therefore. surprising to hear the revi-
val OF an old suggestion from the North
on the subject. The proposal is to
improve the present existing canal be-
tween the Clyde and the Forth, so that
ships might be able to pass through.
The canal was constructed century
ago. and is 35 miles long, extending
from Bowling on the Clyde TO Grange
mouth on the Forth, the line being al
most due east and west, and there is a
branch Of 2f miles to Port Dundas in
the north of Glasgow. 1t rises l56feet
and has 80 locks. AZ the present time
only very small craft can be passed
through, not only because of the short
locks, but also owing to the depth OF
water being about nine feet. It is pro-
posed that it should be made suitable
for deep sea-going ships.
There are no great engineering diff
culties in the way. The cost is vari-
onsly estimated between Gl.500,000
and f2,000,0 ,000--a sum which, It is
thought, might be easily raised by a
company. 1t is contended that, being
the shortest route between America
and the Baltic, the Continent and the
east coast OF Scotland, and England,
the through traffic would be consider
able. This may be true; but the gain
in time would be reduced materially
bv the fact that vessels in coming of the
Atlantic would require to sail up the
long firth (Clyde), and would probably
require, particularly II deeply laden,
to wait on the tide to get to Bowling,
which is some distance up the river,
or the channel would need to be broad
ened and deepened, thus adding TO the
cost. For channel steamers going from
Ireland Or To the west coast Of Scot
Land, England Or Wales to the east
coast or the Continent, the canal would
be decided benefit, fornot only would
their voyage be shortened, but the

Declining Years

Declining Years
Have you a mother? II so, honor
and love her. II she is aged. do all in
your power to cheer her declining
years. Her hair may have bleached.
her eyes may have dimmed, her brow
may contain deep and unsightly fur
rows, her cheeks may be sunkcn; but
you should never forget the holy love
and tender care she has had for you.
In years gone by she has kissed away
from your cheek the troubled tear; she
has soothed and petted you when all
else appeared against you; she has
watched over and nursed you with a
tender care known only to mother;
she has sympathized with you In adj
versity; she has been proud Of your
success. You may be despised by all
around you, yet that loving mother
stands as an apologist for all your
shortcomings. With all that disinter-
ested affection, would itnot beungrate-
full In you, if in her declining years
you failed TO reciprocate nor love and
honor her as your best, tried friendp
We have no respectfora man or woman
who neglects an aged mother. II you
have mother love her, and do all in
your power TO make her happy. Chris
