pondence. What will undoubtedly prove
the greatest naval pageant in the history
of the world will take place on the 18th
of June at Kiel, Germany, on the occa-
sion of the formal opening of the great
ocean canal running 62 miles long from
Kiel to Brunsbutte, ON the Elbe, and
practically making Hamburg one of the
most important seaport cities of Europe.
Two years ago New York had naval
review when there were forty great ships
of war anchored in the harbor. A strong
effort will be made by the German Off
cials to surpass this showing and have
much larger fleet of foreign vessels on
hand. One hundred and fifty great war
ships are expected. Germany alone will
have So men, -of-war and torpedo boats
at Kiel, and the other European powers
will be careful to make brave showing
of their respective naval forces. England
in particular will strive to have larger
number OF its vessels at Kiel than any of
the other foreign powers. 1t has always
been England's policy to make such {;
showing, as was evidenced at our naval
display, where she was represented by
much larger and more powerful fleet than
either France or Germany.
The opening of the canal will be an
event in the career of Geramny, but the

Copenhagen fully appreciates the ieop-
ardy of her maritime supremacy, and the
port has recently been declared Il free one,
and the city is also spending vast sums
upon dredging, light houses and docks, in
the hope of diverting some Of the traffic
from the new canal.
The kiel canal which is now practice
ally completed and is only awaiting the
formal opening exercises before it is given
to the commerce OF the world has been
pet projectf for the past six hundred
years. Toward the end OF the fourteenth
century the city of Lubbock, then rich
and independent town, built canal from
the Trave to the Elbe. This was an in
adequate affair and in the beginning of
the sixteenth century Hamburg built
shorter connection from the East sea, but
the faulty engineering OF those times
allowed it to become soon filled with
sand, rendering it useless.
The great Wallenstein some time later
conceived project when appointed i'm.
perial admiral like that which is soon to
be consummated, but he was unable to
carry out his schemes. Toward the end of
. the last century King Christian VII built
the famous Elder canal. but it hardly
served the purpose of advancing COM

day the public:caught glimpse of it for
the first time. Everyone has been talking
of it ever since, and particularly of the
wonderful dining room, where the we'd
ding breakfast for 100 guests was served.
Passing through the Moorish parlor
with its walls of ebony, inlaid with
mother of pearl, past the East India room
and the gold room, which is used for a
music room, one enters the dining room.
The floor is covered with rich warm rugs,
the walls are paneled in mahogany up to
the door and window castings. The upper
part OF the wall is of dark red embossed
leather and the celling is raftered with
mahogany covered with dull gold.
The obong table and the chairs are of
mahogany inlaid with wreaths of mother
of pearl and gold. From chains in the
ceiling hang eight beautiful Moorish
lanterns OF dark gold richly jeweled.
Electricity is used for lighting them, and
the effect is indescribable of the soft
colored light falling upon the table with
its coverings of white satin damask.
golden candelabra and service and glisten-
ing cut glass.
Palms and ferns are everywhere, over
the doors and windows, and in the cor
ners of the room, wherever there is space
for the jardinieres of delicately colored
porcelain. Just beyond the dining room
is the conservatory filled with the rarest
of orchids and all kinds of foliage plants
from the famous Gould conservatories at
Lyndhurst.

The hangings are beautiful tapestries
lined with velvet of nearly as possible the
same beautiful oak shade as the furnish

Bowls and tankards and loving cups of
massive silver and cut glass, which spar
kle like diamonds in the red light of the
great open fire, give Just the right amount
of dazzling brilliancy to the quiet tones
of the stately dining room. All OF this
splendor is seen day after day only by
the dear old lady, who is now nearing 20
and who has little great grandchild 2
years old. Apart from the grandeur OF
her home, Mrs. Vanderbilt leads the same
simple life which hundreds of thousands
of women do who have not the thousandth
