OUR DOMESTIC WATER COMMERCE.

\ man must travel up and down
the Great Lakes and navigable rivers
OF this country to gain even faint
idea of the extent of Americas do
nestle water commerce. Some very
interesting facts and figures, how
ever, bearing on this matter were
cited by Thomas J. Vivian of the
Census Bureau, in his recent address
before the Worlds Water Commerce
congress at Chicago. According to
the traffic.records compiled by the
census there were in 1890 no less
than 22,079 craft conducting trans
portation on what may be called
domestic waters" Of these 22S2
were steamers and 6S37 were sail
ing vessels engaged in carrying
freight and passengers, their united
tonnage being 2,912,693 tons 455
were ferry steamers, with tonnage
OF ING, O99 tons; 1914 were steam
boats engaged in towing freight
laden barges, with a tonnage of
1896 tons, while the barges so
towed number 1851, with ton
mage of 4,00S,S47 tons. The total
tonnage of this traffic fleet of 22,079
craft was 7,213,343 tons and its
value 1854, 126, O53.
AS may be imagined, this great
aeet did a business proportionate to
us extent. According to the report
OF operations made to the author
l'ieS, 169,07S, 1920 tons of freight
were moved in year, while the pas
singer list numbered 199,079,577.
~ may surprise the reader who does
NOT realize the extent of navigable
waters within the bounds of this
country to know that in the pursuit
VI business these busy craft Travelled
10 456, 164 miles. Besides possess
ing the largest lake system in the
world, Uncle Sam has glorious
W. waterway of %, sos miles of naviga-
o rlvers-which only lacks a little,
ss Mr., Vivian says, of being long
tthhough to belt the globe. Under
'uese circumstances it isn't strange

THE HEART OF THE TREE.

A gentleman living in the state of
New York said, not long since, that
one day when he was boy he be-.
came angered at a command of his
father, and as an act of revenge took
an axe, and hacked deep cash in a
maple tree that stood in the yard.
The bark soon grew over the wound
and nothing more was thought of It
until many years later the tree fell
before a wind storm. The gentle
man went to the tree, and found the
hack he had made had gone to the
heart OF the tree, and the whole
heart had become rotten. So like
wise is he who harbors in his heart
some secret sin. In the course of
time ne may rest assured "his sins
will find him out. In the course of
time, his heart will become polluted,
and he will fall.-[C. w. Bib.

one traveller of another. "Now,

Open both of the back cases, so,
hold it with open side down, and

you gave it, it is time to take it to
