The New Manchester Canal.

According to latest advices it
appears that the costly undertaking
of turning Manchester into sea-
port is rapidly approaching COM
pletion. Five miles of quay are
already laid the ship canal, thirty
five miles long, connecting the city
with the tideway of the Mersey, is
expected to be open for traffic early
next year. One-third of the dis
lance is already open to shipping.
This gigantic undertaking was be-
gun in 1887. The cost has amour
ted to Els, OOO,OO0-some 100000
was sunk in parliamentary expen-
ses. The canal is capable of pass
ing through vessels Of as large tom
mage as the Suez canal. To carry
the four important lines of railway
which intersect its course over it,
has necessitated the construction of
viaducts seventy feet high. Six
swing bridges and a high-level can
telever bear main roads over its
waters. Elaborate arrangements
have had to be made for its inter
section by the Bridgewater canal.
The original plan was to level it
through on the high-water line of
the Mersey but that was aban-
doned, and a series Of locks now
bring the canal at Manchester up
to the level of the city, sixty feet
over Liverpool. The locks and
bridges are opened and shut by
hydraulic power. Vessels by the
aid of electric light will be passed
through by night as easily as by
day. Mr.. E. Leader Williams is
the engineer of this new wonder Of
the world. There has been con-
siderable jealousy between Liver
pool and Manchester with regard
to the canal; but, as in most such
cases, it is more likely to promote
the advancement of both cities
than lead to the decadence of one.
In any event, Liverpool may have
the satisfaction of knowing that,
so much has the cost exceeded the
first estimate, that not one penny
are the original Manchester share
holders likely to get back ont of
the enterprise.-The Nation.

OUR RARBOR LIGHTS.
Some Suggestions From Cor
respondent Concern
ing Them


Mr.. EDITOR In regard 10 the
recent accident to the Miowera,
and, on an investigation Of the
cause thereof before a naval court
of inquiry, the point was made that
the accident was due TO the fact
that the back-range light was OBJ
scured by the masts of a vessel
laying at one of the wharves. l
can also say, from experience, that
the same light is also hidden from
view by vessels laying at the
wharves with their upper sails
loose.
would respectfully ask: Could
not new set of leading lights be
arranged so that the masts or sails
of no vessel would interfere or shut
off the light ? A light placed near
the eastern end Of the Pacific
Mail wharf and another on the
land somewhere behind it would
be out Of the way Of all sailing
vessels, and, think, might be
placed so that line drawn through
them would clear the eastern side
of the reef.
Another aid to navigation that
would be of some benefit to vessels
making for the entrance of this
port at night, which l beg leave to
suggest, would be a couple of range
lights placed on or near the quar-
antine grounds, and arranged so
that vessels approaching the harbor
from the direction of Diamond
Head would be enabled to preserve
proper distance from the edge of
the reef by keeping those lights in
ine-the structures for holding the
lights could also be used as day
marks. More than one vessel has
touched on the reef within my rec
objection, for want of just such in
formation as those lights or marks
would afford.
/ have heard it said that the
present leading lights for entering
the harbor were established for the
use of the pilots only, but [ have
been under the impression that
they were established for the bene-
fit of all vessels, whether local or
foreign, to aid them in approaching
the entrance Of the harbor.
Everyone admits that no blame
attaches to the pilots for the mis-
hap to the Miowera, but at the time
of the occurrence a good dee. was
said about the length of time taken
by the pilot in waiting for the port
physician and in lighting up the
buoys and beacons. | respectfully
suggest that the buoys and beacons
ought to have lights placed on
them whenever a steamer is ex-
pected and it would not cost
much to have them kept there per-
manently from sunset to sunrise.
1t would be some help to coasting
vessels making the harbor on dark
nights also, and the pilots would be
relieved from a duty which in no
other part of the world belongs to
them. In Port Prize, South Aus
tralia, the approach to the harbor
is by channel dredged out of the
mud $50 feet wide for distance of
five miles, lighted on either side by
lights placed on buoys and beacons.
These lights are kept burning night
and day; are only filled once
week one man attends to them all
in half a day. Steamers of 1000
tons burden come and go, whether
day or night, whenever the tide
serves. / may add that the COM
merce of Port Prize is not more
than one-fourth of this port (omit-
ting the silver bullion).
Very respectfully,
w. G. GOODMAN.

Not "afonkeywrench', at All.

Many people wonder why the
monkeywrench received such a
name and imagine it must have a
connection in some remote with the
animal from which its curious de-
signation seems to be derived. In
fact its name is not monkeywrench
at all, this being a corruption of the
title originally given it.
1t was invented by Charles
Monck, of Williamsburg, Ny, who
sold his patent to firm who under
took to manufacture and put it on
the market. 1t honor of the inven-
tor they called it Monck's wrench,
but both they and he were soon
much disguised to find it known as
a monkeywrench. - Richardson

Take a piece of wire, coil
will do and stretch it in build
ing a fence; it's not hard to
calculate the tension you put
upon it, but whether you get
the exact number of pounds
or not, you know it is enough
to put the wire tight enough
for all practical purposes. If
it breaks while you are
stretching it. You conclude at
once that it is of inferior
quality. Take a coil of our
wire and stretch it and stretch
it, put your mules or your
oxen on it and see if it will
break. Coil it around your
posts and see if there is a sim
gle rough place on it after
you have bent into every con-
ceivable shape. In the Homo
lulu Iron Works, our wire was
put to a test for tensile
strength and it registered
1920 pounds. Take this good
wire and build a locked fence
with it and you have some
thing that will last forever.
The rainy weather creates a
demand for steel wire and
cocoa mats. Our stock is large
enough to select from and we
have many different varieties.
Our plain cocoa mats are

the bordered ones are good
enough for a parlor, the "Alo-

nothing will remove the dirt

them in all sizes.
