A GREAT EVENT.
Canal Between the Baltic and North

Seas To Bo opened june 30.
BERLIN. Feb. 27.--An event Of far
reaching Importance will be celebrated
in Germany on the 20th OF June of the
present year. On that day the canal
between the Baltic and the North
seas will be opened by Emperor Will
liam In the presence of the highest Dig
nitaries Of Germany and representatives,
Of other countries The principal ma
tions will also be represented by mem
of-war. II Is expected that the pomp
and ceremony will rival the scene at
the opening OF the Suez canal. A few
data in reference 10 the canal will IL
lustrate the Importance of the work;
The line Of the canal starts at Kiol on the
Baltic sea aud crossing the PrusSiau province
of Holstein Joins the Elbc NJ Brunsbuttel be-
low Hamburg Work was begun on June 3,
1857, and over s,00l men we're employed during
the summer months. while In winter tho
number was reduced 10 about 400.
Tho estimated cost was l5G0O0OOl

OF preparation and efficiency OF execution can
not be better illustrated than by mentioning
the fact that the estimate has not been cx-
ceeded Tho canals length Is b3N, miles.

feet The speed allowed on the canal will
be 3 miles per hour, making the time OF
passage about 10 hours. The toll will be
- pfenuigs or is cents per net register ton
Qoading capacity. II Is expected that about
10000 ships will make use OF the canal annual
ly. representing about 100000 tons Hitherto
about 5000 ships passed every year through
the Skager Rack ana the Cattegat, between
the Baltic and the North sea, so that the ostI-
mated percentage seems fair. The saving OF time
will be considerable, since for all ships bound
To or from any point south OF Hull the dis
tance will be reduced by 23S miles, while
