The North Sea Canal.

A most interesting and important
event will be the opening of the Baltic
and North Sea Canal, on June 20, by
Emperor William in the presence OF
the highest dignitaries of Germany and
representatives of other countries.
The principal nations will also be rep
resented by men-of-war. The Ham
burg-American line will join in the
naval parade with two of their twin
screw express steap- 1rs, the Augusta
Victoria and the Normannia. The ca
nal, which was begun early in 1891 ny
the German emperor, starts at Halte-
nan, on the north side of Kiel Bay,
and joins the Elbe at Brunsbuttel, be-
low Hamburg, fifteen miles above the
rivers mouth. It is 81 miles long,
200 feet wide Mt the surface, and 30
feet at bottom, the depth being 28
feet. The cost is estimated at S4O,-
100000.
It is expected that about $4,000
ships will make use of the canal an
nually. The saving of time will be
considerable, but more important than
the saving in time is the avoidance OF
danger, the passage through the sound
between the scandinavian Peninsula
and Jutland being considered one of
the most dangerous in Europe. Sta
tistics show that about 200 vessels
founder every year on these coasts.
The strategic value of the canal to
Germany will also be considerable

Nine Styles In q Century.

"Though the fashion in woman's
dress has changed hundred times in
hundred years, said young lady
Of observation to writer for the New
York San, sit has been change of
detail rather than of style, while OF
changes of costume, that is, of dress
which can be said to mark historical
epoch, there have been but two. Sim
ilarly in mems clothing there has been
but one radical change of costume
during the century-that from the
breeches to the trousers, with the in
terregnum of the pantaloons. The
change in woman's attire, which was
sufficiently radical to be called o
change of costume, occurred in 1920,
when the classical renaissance, with
it's immodesty, its single garment, and
its waist under the shoulders, went out,
and woman became the bodiced and
petticoated creature that you know her
today.
"Of styles as I understood the term.
that is, changes of distinctive fashion
in woman's garb, there have only been
nine during the past 100 years, which
I think is greatly to her credit. What
are they? Well, that's rather hard
question to answer. Let me see, now:
"From 1895 to 1919 or 1920 was the
era of the short waist.
"From 1920 to 1925 were the days
of the middle waist, short dress, no
sleeves below the shoulders, or elbows
OF the farthest, and natural shoulders.
"From 1926 to 1885 there was dis
tinctly marked spell of broad shoulders,
big sleeves and bell skirts. In fact
our present fashions have been consid-
erably based on that decade.
From 1885 to 1843 there were
sloping shoulders and big full skirts.
"From 1S43 to 1865 there was the
reign of the crinoline, the longest rule
of fashion that ever prevailed, L
guess.
"From 1865 to 1882 was period of
evolution. The train grew into being,
tho skirts shrank little by little, grow
ing simmer and simmer, until the
outlines of the figure were once more
revealed.
"From 1882 to 1887 was the period
of the bustle-just that.
"From 1887 to 1892 was the fashion
of the paniers and princesse dress.
"With 1892 came in the re-establish-
ment of big sleeves, and I'm sure that
you'll agree with me that there never
was style 80 fetching rs that with
which we make ourselves beautiful for
you today. But that's a peculiarly
of oil fashion. That which is worn is
the fashion, and that which is the
fashion is so becoming that we won
der when we think how we ever could
have worn anything else"

Chiffon Picked By Machine.

One of t1c-.ast remarkable meehani-
cal devices recently introduced in
Georgia is contemplating, machine.
The dimensions of the machins-a
approximately nine feet in length, five
feet in width, and six feet in height.
It is mounted on four metal carrying
wheels, and in general appearance is
not unlike road engine, except that
it is hauled by horses, and receives the
power to propel the working mechan-
ism from the traction wheels. The
rear wheels are four feet in diameter.
The tires are eight inches wide, and
cleated on the rira to provide traction
ample to operate the mechanism for
picking the cotton f.o,r the PLANTS,
and the stripping devices and elevators
in motion. The object of the elevators
is to deposit the cotton in large sacks
located at the top near the rear end
of the machine. The total weight of
the machine is about 1900 pounds,
and of extremely light draught, and it
can be drawn and operated by one
pair of horses. The cotton. picking
apparatus can be readily and almost
instantly raised or lowered to suit the
condition of the cotton and the sur
face of the ground on which it is oper-
ated. The picking and stripping
mechanisms are entirely encased with
in light metallic cases, except the
elongated slots through which the
picking needles protrude. The
needles ore mounted on suitable bear
ings in vertical carriers, thirty-four
in number, seventeen on each side,
being linked together, working stimuli
taneously. The gears are incased
within the carriers. Ench carrier in
making the circuit its oblong course,
makes nearly one turn on its own axis,
and each needle while in the plant
makes fifteen revolutions, and five
revolutions in the opposite direction
while being stripped. The needles
are inserted longitudinaliy into the
plant to an extended position, then
rotated rapidly and moved backward
at speed corresponding to the for
ward rate of travel of the machine,
thereby avoiding any movement of the
needles in relation to the plant except
rotary motion. The needles are
Withdrawn longitudinslly from the
plant, and pass between yielding
stationary strippers, whereby the cot
ton is deposited in the elevators. The
capacity of the machine is from six
to eight acres per day, and from two
to four bales per day, according to
the yield. 1t takes fifteen ordinary
hands whole day to pick one bale,
averaging about 100 pounds each, or
500 pounds OF lint after it is ginned.

Cannons Made of Stone.

The most wonderful cannons on rec
ord are those which are described by
Brydone, whose travels in Sicily and
Malta won well-deserved renown to-
wards the end of the last century.
Many facts and stories he recounts
that seem strangely old-world to us,
though the date is little more than q
hundred years ago, SO grandly did the
French revolution transform Europe.
Malta was full of wonders more or
less droll while the Knights held it.
But nothing equalled the stone guns.
Everybody knows that the fortiica'
tions were cut out of tn" solid rock,
but Brydone was right in saying that
kind of ordinance used to defend
them was unknown to all the world
besides.
.Aswe understand his description,
the knights left great block Of stone
where they followed out an embrasure
in the cliff, which afterwards they
shaped and bored in the form of q
gigantic mortar. These engines con-
tanned whole barrel of gunpowder.
That shovelod in, they plugged it with
a great piece Of wood, fitted exactly to
the bore, as wedding, and loaded up
with cannon balls, shells and other
deadly materials.
About fifty of these remarkable
guns commanded the spots which o
hostile ship was most likely to ap-
proach. ''The mouths of some are
six feet wide, and they are able to
throw 10, 900 pounds weight of balls
OF stones" The range is not stated,
but the falling proiectiles covered an
area of the over 800 square yards.
