was necessarily meagre, but some OF
the vegetables wcrs so bright and
green that I could not help asking
how they were preserved so well. To

cultivated in garden patch OF n

been brought from warmer regions so
as to insure q fertility not found in

themselves had been grown from inn

QUEER NESTS FOR DUCKS.
Made Of Rushes and Hung on Poles In the
Marshes.


The watcr-fringed village Of Crow,
in Friesland, North Hollan d, is remark
able for two things-cheese and ducks.
the lakes which fringe the village on
three sides are thick with bulrushes
and water grass, and afford excellent
cover for wild ducks and other aquatic
fowl. To promote tbs comfort Of the
former and at the same time facilitate
the collection Of the eggs the villagers
construct nests. The nests are made Of
plated rushes, and are hung on poles
driven into the soil or psrched be.
tween the forks of trees. Above
each coterie the owner Of the nests
fixes pieces of colored cloth, which
enables him to readily distinguish his
nests from those of his neighbors.
These bits of bunting are useful also
to the birds, who invariably keep
to their own nests. Tie owner goes
each morning in his boat to the nest
ing ground, thrusts his arm into the
bottle-shaped nests, and collects their
contents for the market.

One English Canal Carried Across An
other on n DrawbridEe.
The recently opened ship canal,
which connects the city of Manchester,
England, with the sea, Is Of COM
mercial rather than engineering i'm
portance. There were few difficulties
to be overcome In It's construction, yet
one OF the novel features of the enter
prise Is so curious that IL deserves
passing notice. II is very common
occurrence for one railroad track to
be carried over another; much less
frequently we see on, canal con lucted
across the line Of another, but TO have
the intersections of two water routes
provided with q drawbridge is still
more unusual This. however, was
founl the most satisfactory way Of
dealing with the problem presented
where the route Of Manchester's new
highway to the Mersey ran up against
the old Bridgewater canal, leading
southwark from wigan, in Lancashire.
Just what reasons existed for not
having q grade crossing do not appear,
but II does appear that such scheme
was not deemed feasible, and hence
the smaller channel was borne over
the larger. But . hxed aqueduct
would have interfered with the mssts,
II not the smokestaclxs, Of big ships,
and therefore, q swinging span, like
that Of IN ordinary drawbridge, was
resorted TO. Obviously, the station
airy ends OF the severed waterway
needed TO be, and they are, equipped
with gates. which must be closed be-
fore the swinging span Is opened.
The latter structure Is similarly fur
nished, so that II Is possible 10 open

Arizona republican., 1894-06-12

HE REPUBLICAN party has for many years been giving generous protection to Louisiana's sugar industry, and all the time Louisiana has been voting for party and policy whose success meant destruction to that industry. At last Republicans in the senate have con- cluded that this one-sided liberality has gone far enough, and that here after Louisiana may have what she votes for. The decision is in accord with sound statesmanship. Cane sugar production has been the recipient of government aid for century and has utterly failed to develop, and there is no prospect that 1t ever will develop into self-supporting industry. It is not, therefore, deserving beneficiary of the protective policy.
