The BALTIC SHIP CANAL.
How 1t VIII r,ske and Unmake Various
European Ports.

How IL VIII Geke and tnmake various
European Ports.
Germany does well TO make the
formal opening of the great Baltic
ship canal a ceremonial affair of the
first magnitude, says the London Re
view. When ships of the largest bur
den can pass by a protected short cut of
sixty miles length from the North sea
to the Baltic the ugliest as well as the
oldest problem of north European nav
igation will have been solved. Incl
dentally it will destroy what little re-
mains Of Denmark's commercial i'm
portsnce.
Copenhagen has ~cndeavored to fore
stall disaster by making itself into a
free port and spending large sums of
money upon dock and harbor improve
| ments; but. we fear, all in vain. 1t is
incredible that any shipping will here
after be sent into Danish waters, to
round the tiresome Jutland peninsula
and brave the dangers of the treacher-
GUS passage of the sound, which can
take advantage Of the shorter and en-
tirely safe route across Holstein.
Where the commercial supremacy of

it quits Copenhagen is not clear. Ham
burg is very confident about its own
succession to these rich honors. An
cient Lubbock is projecting an Elbe-
Trave canal, by means of which she
hopes to divert the increased raffic and
wealth to herself.
The Courland port of Libau has spent
two hundred and fifty thousand pounds
in enlarging its facilities for the compe-
tition, and even st. Petersburg, which,
with its new deep-water dock in the
Neva, becomes seaport this year for the
first time, has visions of maritime great
ness based on this novel Encouragement
of trade currents. While these rival
claims are as yet in the air the advan-
tages to British shipping are tangible
and immediate. Not least among these
advantages may be counted the in
creased incentives to peace which the
hnar nial Importance of keeping this
great canal open will give to the Ger.
man empire.

those early days Of wheeling, bicycles
for American ONE were imported
from England. One woman who had
never seen a bicycle, but had read OF
them and was possessed Of the true
wheeling spirit, bought one Of these
cumbrous machines. IL had wneels
thirty inches high. weighed ovcr fifty
pounds, bad a solid tire and cost one
hundred and forty dollars. The first
ride Of the owner upon this machine Of

miles, and produced a sprained ankle,
a black eye and an entirely demolished
gown. The riders spirit was u~nbroken,
however, and, after a rest Of two
weeks, she mounted again and rode 20

A woman was buried alive at An.

gravcdiggers were throwing earth upon
the coffin they heard a knocking inside.
They waited half an hour before max.
ing up their minds what TO do, and
then, instead Of opening the coffin,
went to notify the authorities. A
priest was the first TO arrive, and all he
dared to do was to have gimlet holes
bored SO as to let in a little air. Final.
ly, after three hours, soon after the
knocking ceased. the coffin was opened
and the woman's cheeks were seen to
be flushed and her eyes half opened. II
took six hours and q half more to get a
doctor, who when he came said she
had been dead less than six hours;
that Is, she must have been alive when
