THE mANCHEsTER SHIP CANAL

The chances which capital takes in in
vestments Of great magnitude are exem-
plifed in the great Manchester ship
canal.
This great waterway is 35 miles long,
1872 feet wide and 26 feet deep. II was
constructed for the great purpose Of
making inland Manchester . seaport.
Rich and poor alike we're enthusiastic in
the project. which, when the conditions
are taken into consideration, would seem
one OF those vast and bene6cient enter
prises sure OF success. 1t is not easy to
see how the success Of an enterprise
could have had Q surer basis both in
theory and in undeniable statistics than
this canal. Within thirty miles radius
OF Manchester town hall are three
fourths Of the cotton manufactures OF
England and large part Of those Of the
world. Seven million people live within
the circle circumscribed.
To the Manchester wharves this canal
would bring the cotton Of the world and
the returning ships would take away the
Manufactured products. By taking this
canal foreign ships would avoid having
to unload at Liverpool and transship by
rail.
The first error was made 10 the esti-
mated cost Of construction OF this canal.
II was begun by private company on an
estimate Of $25. 900. 900. The company
had spent $52. 600. 900 on IL when it had
reached the limit Of its borrowing cspac.
ity. The city Of Manchester was per-
suaded to adopt the canal as 9 municipal
work and expended s22, 500. 600 more be.
fore il was completed.
The anticipated rush Of vessels did
not come. The great terminsl docks
costing immense sums are empty Of the
expected forest Of ships. Every induce
ment has been offered to shippers; tolls
and dues are low and many usual charges
dispensed with. yet few vessels enter it
other than small steamers employed in
the Manchester coastiug trade.

a.eer Things He Did fn the Pres
euce OF Royalty.

tmGG % s>VS.a'S
The late Shah Nasr-ed- Din literally
r;.b. Of the world) was the first Per-
~, monarch who ever visited Europe.
u. peculisr habits led to many funny
.,;.odes while he was the guest OF the
..owosd heads. His first visit to Eng
la was made in 1889 and his initial
dinner ss Windsor, ss the guest OF Queen
v;c.oris. was marked by the destruction
~ . yslusble collection OF rare china.
Ths Shah insisted on throwing under the
table his plates and other dishes as fast
AZ he finished course.
Al all meals after the first one at
Windsor four walters were kept standing
h.h;nd him to snatch up his plates the
momsut he seemed done with them. or at
,s.., 10 take them from his hand before
hs oould throw them under the table.
Bus in spite Of these precautions the ORR
.,t.l monarch hit some OF the other
sussts on the feet and shins with the
dishes and kept Queen Victoria in state
Of continual but suppressed vexation.
AT one dinner when some especially fine
china was used the floor underneath the
table was covered with feather cushions
and an expert juggler was placed under
the table, near the Shah's knees. to
catch any dishes he might cast in that
direction. In this way the priceless
china was preserved without offending
the visitor.
On one occasion the Shah was seated
Al q table next to one Of the most stately
and dign6ed royal Princesses OF Europe.
He was helped to some asparagus. cooked
in . peculiarly delicious manner. Pick
ing up q stalk in his fingers. he sucked
the end Of II with evident delight. Then
turning to his fair neighbor he exclaimed
"Bah bah how good il is !" and thrust
the same stalk into her mouth for her
also 10 taste.
Nor was his conversation less embar-
rsssing than his table manners. Talking
with nobleman Of great distinction he
suddenly ssked: "Is that your wife
over there 7"
"Yes. your Majesty"
"But she 10 old and ugly. Why don't
you get rid Of her and take . new one
one Of these young and pretty women !"
As he spoke in tone perfectly audi
BILE to the lady under discussion, and in
deed to most Of the company 10 the room,
the sensation produced may best be left
10 the Imagination.
On another occasion. the Shah sp-
preached the Princess OF Wales. who
wore dseoletts dress. and, patting her
fsmiliarly on the back. remarked that
shs was worthy OF her position.
The same evening the monarch began
to pat and pinch the plump shoulders OF
one Of the royal Princesses.
"Ah. you are the kind Of woman !
like I" he exclaimed. "You are not all
bones. I will get rid Of one Of my
wives and take you in her place I"
The Shah strongly recommended to
the Prince Of Wales. after being enter
tanned by the Duke OF Sutherland at the
lattsr's magnificent country seat. at
that II would bs in every way
advisable TO put the Duke to death, on
the ground that be was much too pow
