A few children still come to the Office
of the health officer TO be vaccinated,
but the rush has been over for some
time. and there are very few children of
school age who have not the marks of
the lancet on their arms. Many little
children have not been vaccinated,
however. and there are probably ten
thousand adults in the city who also
failed to avail themselves of this meth
cd Of securing immunity from the pre-
vailing disease. Estimates of the total
number of vaccinations inc the city,
during the past ten months, range from
twenty TO thirty thousand, but even
the highest estimate would leave near
ly ten thousand without recent vaccin-
ations. and the actual number is per-
haps greater that that.

ony and Wurttemberg and the regent of Bavaria, Prince Luitpold, representing crazy King Otto, will also be on hand, but how many other potentates will at tend has not yet transpired. There was some question for time about the at tendance of the three dignitaries named, differences having arisen regarding prec- edence, but the kings of Saxony and Wurttemberg have agreed tp give way to Otto's representative, and he will be ranked next the emperor throughout the ceremonies. The United States will send four of its modern vessels, the New York, the Columbia, the San Francisco and the Marblehead. Germany, of course, will make a fine showing, and every other nation that makes any pre- tentions whatever as a naval power will send as many ships as possible.
 The Baltic canal Is destined to prove of great importance in the commercial progress of the nations of Europe. For five centuries it has been talked of, for the navigation of the Skager Rack, past the Skaw or northernmost point of Den mark, and through the Cattegat, to the Baltic from the North sea, has always been counted one of the most difficult, dangerous voyages Known. The con struction of such canal as the ono now approaching completion, it has been pointed out, would do away with the necessity for using this dangerous route to any extent and besides would great ly shorten tho distance to be sailed and the time to be occupied in the passage The following table will show the ma terial advantages to be gained by the Baltic canal:

The sopoy Elutlny of lNj7-S was one of the most tragic uprisinGs in history. Two huudrcl million fanatics reyolted against British rule. and the flaming plains of India were swept by fire and crimsoued with the blood of the inno- cents until faraway England rose in the might of her wrath, and her heroes ground the rebels 10 the earth. The Mogul empire was proclaimed at Delhi, i'll May. ISjG, and Cawnpur mutinied on the last day of that month.

 The British government offered re- ward of $50, 900 for the capture of Mana Sahib. and every effort was made to trace him, but he vanished as utterly as if he had never been.
 Investigation, however, has made it quite certain that Nara Dhoonda Pant. known in history as Mana Sahib, fled with few followers 10 the jungles of Oude and penetrated deep into those dismal solitudeS. All died miserably, and the eagles of the Himalayas alone look down from their lofty heights upon the crass of the royal vagrant who per lshrd there long years ago

 It should not bo supposed that Miss Burt Is devoid of ability. ShO has lots of it and is easily one of tho best actresses in her lino on the American stage, but her extraordinary luck in having had very good parts in very successful plays Is a matter of frequent comment in theatrical circles. She Is said to Do mcditating Q starring tour to begin in the fall of 1896.
 Laura Burt was born in n little town in the islo of Man Her father was an Eng lishman and her mother Welshwoman of good family. Tho first few years of her life were spent in a small village with an unpronounceable name in her mothers na- two land. When about 10 or l2 years of ago, her parents came to America, and she of course with them They settled in Hi noiS, from which locality Miss Burt went to Cincinnati to live with relatives. The unnlOns first discovered her great ability and employed her for several sea sons as Fantasma, and her great woman's $ rights speech introduced in one sccne of that great fairy spectacle will long be re- membcrcd, Her next engagement was as Juno in Blue Jeans,

tually an arm uf the North sea Its east ern tcrmin1s i3 at Holtcncau, near kiel, on an arm of the Baltic, and between these two points it crosses kuden lake, and follows from Rends5urg the course of the old Elder canal At each end there is a tide lock, and the two are among the greatest in the world, the dimensions being: Length. 800 feet; width. S3 feet; depth on the sill, 32 feet. These two locks are the only ones it has been nec- essary to erect. and these have been built solely because of the varying tide levels and the strong current of the Elbe.
 The lock gates at the Baltic end of the great trench will not need to be closed often, for the Baltic is an almost tide less sea, but at the North sea end they will be opened and closed every day, for there the tides run strong, and there Is great variation of level. It is considered an advantage rather than otherwise that this is so, since the opening of the gates at low tide will cause Q movement of the water in the canal, aud this will have tendency to keep it sweet and clear The locks arc of the most massive masonry, after the fashion of all old world stonework, and like the breakwaters now building at each end to protect the mouths of the canal arc made of mt terial from the famous quarries neal Niessen, Saxony. have said that there are no locks excepting those at the ter minal points, and this is virtually true
 so far as the course of the canal itself
 is concerned. but in the valley of tho lower Elder there arc two locks con necting the canal with that stream.
 The digging of the canal has occupied
 about eight years, one of the last per

CHAPTER II.


 My caller rightly interpreted the ex- pression on my fate
 Ut is strange story. but 1 tell you the truth Mana did not fec until the year after the Cawnpur massacre, and it was g years later that met one of the spies who was with him He was all old man, living in the sacred city of Benarcs, on tho Ganges. He was at the point of death when 1 helped-bcing q physician-tob bring him back to life. He told me the story and volunteered to show me the path to the spot where his master died. But though he led the way to the neighborhood he either could not or would not take me to the place. We returned from our bootless errand. and he died few years later. His se- cret was buried with him. "
 The speaker paused and changed his lolling attitude. Noting my interest, he resumed:
 "I knew that when Mana sahib en- tered those ju2gles the great ruby was in his turban, and if the spot could be found where he died there would be found the gem which have brought to you. Five years ago went back with A single companion, 6 native like myself of the country"
 He paused long enough for me to re- mark:
 Then so years must have passed since the death of Mama"
 Fully that. and not a Vsstigs of his rags or bones was left How could hope to discover the gem? Ttsre was nc reason to believe I would, but all such great finds, as you know, arc the result of chance. knew where to look for it, and kept up the hunt for weeks until stricken with fever and 90 smaoiated that could barely stand.

terpriSes. About 5000 persons were con tinually employed from beginning to end The canal crosses four lines of rail road and five high roads. There arc two fixed bridges. each l30 feet above the surface of the water. and two swing bridges. and at several points ferries have been established.
 Denmark lrofcsSes not to fear the cf feet of the canal upon her commerce, but it is generally agreed that there is real danger to her capital, Copenhagen, tho metropolis f the Baltic. The ton mage of the ships that have annually passed through the narrow. tortuous channels lying between the North sea and the Baltic aggregates moro than %, GOO. 900, and there has been an annu al average of 200 wrcck$ there, Sn that it is not likely that . ton of Baltic freight will now be transported via Co penhager that can conveniently pass through the canal This is the moro probable einco the table of delays given in the first part of this article does not show the average detention to sailing vessels hv any means. In case of adverse winds they have sometimes been obliged to lie to for days and even weeks. anti though there will bc canal tolls for sail ing vessels which traverse the canal tU pay besides towing fees. these will Tot aggregate, all told, a great enough cN- pcnSe. as d rule, to offset the dangers and delays of the old route.
 That Copenhagen is alive to the men ace to her commercial supremacy Is evi- dent from tho fact that she has been spending money freely in the construc- tions of docks, lighthouses, etc, and has been made free port.
 It is more than likely, too, that the new canal will have some influence upon Hamburg, Lubbock and the other Ger man and Dutch ports, and it is certain that St. Petersburg hopes to derive some benefit from it's opening. for q new deer water dock has just been built there a Q cost of $500, 1000.

 According to all predictions. the na- val display to take place at Kiel, Ger many, on June 19. in celebration of the opening of the Baltic canal, will be more imposing than any previous one of modern times, greatly exceeding in mag nificence even the naval parade in the harbor of New York in October, 1899. As the weeks pass the programme grows longer and more elaborate, and it now seems probable that several royal per sonages will be present along with the ships.

The saving uf time and distance and the increase i'll safety make the canal of great value to the commercial world at large, but it k cxrcedingly doubtful if it would have been built had it not been for the fact that Germany con sidrrs 1t of great strategic importance
 In this the TcutunS are no doubt cor

 Although the scheme was first brOaCh ed in the fourteenth century, little was done beyond talking of it until about 800 years ago. Since the sixteenth cen tury no less than l6 plans have been put forth.

 but it was not suited to the require

 who was authorized by the Prussian
 government to begin the preparatory
 work. and his operations were made the basis of tho pro, ont completed canal. The total length of tho canal is about 64 miles. Its western terminus is be-
