A New Canal System.

A new system of canal construction
has been designed and recently patent
ed by an Englishman. The object is
to do away entirely with the necessity
for steam or horse power in canal
traffic, and this end is sought TO be at
tanned by the creation of a current of
water strong enough to carry the boats
along from point TO point Mr. Pick
ard has designed a double canal. al
one end of which is a screw, resemb
ling the propeller of a steamship This
screw, which is worked by steam
power, forces the current in one direc
ton and causes it to return in the par
allel division of the canal, the direction
Of the current being reversible at will
BY this arrangement all loss of water
is obvlated aud the bed of the canal is
kept CLEAN. This current is, of course
confined to each separate level o
canal, and when locks intervene an
other current has to be created

The Cobra's Revenge.

It is commonly believed among the
Hindoos that no animal is more re
vengeful than the cobra, and that if a
person attempts TO kill it, or does kill
It's mate, it never rests until it has
wreaked vengeance. An employee of
the Madras Railway company, while
seated on the veranda of his bungalow,
observed two large cobras on the bar
rem plain Immediately in front of the
house. Aiming himself with sharp
cutlass, he sailed forth and succeeded
in killing one of the reptiles. but the
other although wounded. made its
escape He then returned to his bun
galow, and, later in the day, prepared
to dress, when he was Mortified to see
a cobra coming in at the window. He
lied In alarm, and when he returned
with gun the snake had disappeared
The next night VIXEN returning home
he was pursued by the same snake
and had all he could do to ESCAPE
This had such an effect on his mind
that he made application for change
to another division; but before the an
plication could be granted the yenpe
tui cobra actually attacked him one
evening while at tea and bit him on
the leg. The other guests killed the
snake. but the man never recovered in
spite OF the best medical aid.-Phila

"Hellor cried this penetrating
guard, here's some Eyetalianfs

brown paper mass at the head of the
man opposite him. In like manner
the parcel was passed back again, and
the fun was kept up until the end Of
the trip, when il was suggested that il
be presented TO the starter with the

the matter seriously, opened the par
Gel carefully, and then thanked the
men grayely for giving it to him,
There was 81 500 in the greasy brown
paper, but the starter said he felt
obliged TO hold on to it until the
owner called for it, which he did the
next day. Train men now invariably

The Beautiful Red Bird.

/ have never been able to find an
instance i'll which red birds have been
bred in captivity, and although SO
many thousands are kept as pets, all
or nearly all must have been trapped.
This year thought my birds were go.
ing to make a record for themselves,
but the usual failure ensued. The hen
laid tive eggs, but refused to sit. Then
the male bird became ferocious and
nearly killed his neglectful mate.
They are now separate, but whenever
he is let out of his cage he flies to that
OF the hen and tries to resume hostili-
ties. Yet canary bird can knock
him out the first round every time,
and takes Immense delight in doing it
whenever the opportunity arises. st

Expansion of Water.

Water expands with both heat and
cold. II is the fact that water expands
In freezing, which enables frost to act
SO powerfully as disintegrating agent.
Water enters the cracks and pores of
rocks, and on freezing expands with
such force as to break off fragments
from their surface. Reaumur found
that three of the metals also slightly
expand, under the influence of cold
on becoming solid, namely, cast iron
anumony and bismuth, and hence the
precision with which cast iron takes
the mold. If metallic bottle be filled
with molten bismuth and tightly
plugged up, the bottle will be rupt
ured when the metal solidifes.-New

the repair shops and shown his car, on
which the painters had begun work,
and he at once seemed to realize the
difficulty, for he went back and will
ingly took his place beside his mate
and drew the strange car all day
The next morning, though, the same
trouble ensued, and he had to be shown
that his own car was not ready. Where
Stonewall showed the greatest intelli-
gence, Pat says, was stopping appar
emily without reason while on a trip.
He did this one day when an extra
conductor was in charge. The con-
ductor came forward after minute or
two to see what the trouble was. The
driver knew we'll, and told the extra
that he had collected a fare and had
not rung his bell punch. At this the
conductor did ring, and old Stonewall
jackson shook his head as much as to
say, "You can't fool me" and started
off on trip without word from the

A reader of the lyric poetry of the
EliZabethan age is struck with its
adaptation to music, its limpidity and
directness of utterance.
Each composition" says Mr.. j. A.
Symonds, in The Fortnightly Re
view, is meant to be sung. and can
be sung, because the poets soul was
singing when he made it"
The lyrics of the present age possess
but little Of this quality. Mr.. Sy-
monds once asked Jennie Lind why
Shelley's lyrics were i'll adapted to
to music. She made him read aloud
to her the Song of Pan" and ITO the
Night" Then she pointed out that
verse is full of complicated thoughts,
and packed consonants. Not one
melodic phrase could be found to ex-
press the poetic emotion.
Il can sing Millions
let the bright Seraphim in burning row,
Their loud upIifted angel trumpets blowl"
said Jenny Lind, land can sing Dry
den, but | could not sing Shelley,
Wordsworth Keats; no, and not much
Tennyson either Tennyson has
sought out all the solid sharp words,
and put them together; music cannot
come between.
The lyrics of the present time, sc
Mr. Symonds sums up the facts, are
not SO singable as the Elizabethan ly-
RIGS because they are far more complex
in their verbal structure, in theil
thoughts, images and emotions Theil
words carry too many, too various
and too contemplative suggestions. =
