The Saxon forefathers used to carve
upon squared stick about a foot in
length the courses of the moon for whole
year, with the new moons, full moons and
changes, as also festival days. Some of
these curious almanacs have been pre-
served, and are called 'clog almanacs."

dental result of the exercise OF what people
of large means regard as privilege.
We learn, for instance, that the thou
sands of tourists who annually invade the
Orient have created lusty demand for the
products of civilization while on their
travels and that as epicures they have
discovered the superiority of California
canned fruits and have caused the opening
up of a trade OF which the growers of Cali
fornia are receiving the benefit. The North
american RevieU asserts that during last
year 1900 tourists visited Egypt alone,
spending $5,000,00 on the trip. Half OF
these, according to that authority, were
Americans, and that can be easily believed.
No doubt, further, the Americans spent
three-fourths of the $5,000.000. In provid-
ing themselves with the luxurles which
they required in the ascent of the lie the
tourists required timed goods in great
quantities, particularly fruits, and those
Americans who had been educated Ill the
superiority of the California timed fruits
demanded them to the exclusion of all
others.
But they found these goods very expen-
sive. The tins had been shipped by the Pacl-
fic Mail to Hongkong at a cost Of $l2 ton
and had been carried thence to Alexandria
by the Messageries Maritimes at an addi-
tional charge of $12 a ton. Some shrewd
Englishman, measuring the demand
against the expense of transportation, con-
ceived the idea of shipping from America
by sail to London at cost of 40 shillings
and thence to Alexandria for Is shillings,
thus making a saving OF 40 per cent, and,
although the time was much longer than
by way of Hongkong, the goods arrived
just in time for the demand of the Nile
tourists. 1t requires an Englishmau to
grasp the possibilities of trade extension.
There has thus arisen an unexpected de-
mand for California timed fruits and it is
growing prodigiously. AS Egypt is only
one of the Oriental countries involved in
this development it is easy to understand
that encouraging possibilities abound. 1t
is not at all clear that the most rational
way of sending timed fruits from Califor
MIA to the Orient is by way OF England and
the Mediterranean. 1t seems absurd to
ship our fruits either across the continent
or around Cape Horn to London and
thence to the Orient, when we have our
selves direct means of communication
Win the OrleHt over Tue IdclHc OCeaH. IL
our fruits can be shipped by sailing vessels
across the Atlantic SO cheaply they can en-
Joy the same advantage over the Pacific,
there being merely the question of devel-
oping the possibilities which exist. 1t
would be just as easy for us to load sailing
vessels directly for the Suez canal as to
acknowledge an Englishman's superior
wisdom in taking our goods after they
have arrived at New York and shipping
them thence through his own country to
Mediterranean ports.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-31
THE SEATTLE CANAL.

The beginning of the work on the canal
that is to connect the harbor at Seattle
with Lake Washington has been rightly
made an occasion in that city for re-
joicing. While the benefits of the canal
will be confined almost wholly to Seattle
itself, the magnitude is sufficient to give it
an Importance for the whole Pacific Coast
1t is one of the great enterprises of the
year in our section of the Union and in
directly the whole of the Greater West
will profit by it.
Any undertaking that advances any Sec
tioE of the Pacific Coast ought TO be hailed
with satisfaction by every other section.
In the broadest sense the interests of every
part of the coast are at this time identical.
For the full growth of any one of them
there is needed the development of all.
When along the shores of the Pacific we
have population approaching that along
the Atlantic, then we shall be in position
to make something like an adequate use of
our resources. We cannot expect any one
point to grow much unless there is growth
everywhere. For this reason all signs of
progress are gratifying no matter where
they occur, and the prosecution of the
noted with pleasure here.
1t is certainly wonderful future that
lies before the Puget Sound country. Be-
fore many years have passed the cities
around that spacious sheet of inland water
will begin to rival those around the great
lakes. No single one of them may perhaps
attain the rank of Chicago, but it certainly
is not too much to expect that several will
rank with Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit
and Buffalo. The commanding position of
San Francisco, which will be greatly aug
mented and strengthened by the compile
ton of the Nicaragua canal, will of course
secure her supremacy so long as she has
men of courage and sagacity to direct her
affairs. She has therefore nothing to fear,
but everything to hope for in the growth of
other cities.
The beginning of q work at Seattle of
this magnitude will largely increase the
prestige of the coast as place for the in
vestment of capital and will attract the
attention of progressive and enterprising
investors to the whole of this section of the
Union. The influence will be felt in a
greater or less degree i'll every Pacific Coast
industry, and we have good reason there
fore to send greeting and congratulation
to the vigorous and thriving city on the
