A LOVELY COUNTRY RIDE.

The five miles Of beautiful rolling
country through which this railway
passes, in full view of the proud Della
ware river and bay, cannot be excellea
anywhere in the Eastern States. 1t Is
l lovely country ride, during which, in
5Outherly and sOutheasterly winds,
most bracing and invigorating breaths
If salt air are inhaled. The tempera-
.ure all along the route below Rose Hin
.s fully ten degrees cooler than in
Wilmington. A half hour from Will
nington takes one over the entire
route, including the street railway
through New Castle.
All along the route, real estate has
taken o big jump during the past
month. Trolley cars carrying people
through that section at all hours of the
lay and night have caused such a gen.
raj revival and an opening up of that
country that every available property

characterization in the public schools

annual report of the state board of cd
ucation. mo one," says the report, is
so suspectible to influence as the
child, and there is no place where a
classical ornament or beautiful picture
can have the same power for good as
in the schoolroom." All of which Is
true. But as a rule, the schoolrooms
have bare walls, where they ought to
be hung with paintings, etchings and
engravings. 1t is not proposed that
those things should be paid out Of the
money raised by taxes. There are
other ways Of procuring ornamentation
for the schools. People of means will
be found ready to contribute pictures
to the schools, II their interest is en-
listed in the matter, and money can be
raised by the teachers and school chill

POINT OF INTAKE FOR CANAL.
and thus diverting the water from the
st. Lawrence, minimum fall can be
obtained of about forty-four feet. The
water taken from the St. Lawrence will
be restored through the Grass river,
which will thus form a natural tail
race.
Where the canal reaches the high
banks of the Grass river II will turn
parallel to that stream, and the water
supply for the turbines will be by dl.
rect pipes from the canal, which will
be connected by short conduits to the
Grass river. The canal will be of such
dimensions as to be capable Of deliver
ing 150, 900 horsepower on the turbines
on the Grass river, and the requisite
electrical machinery will be set up for
delivering 75,000-horse power of this
electrically. AS the demand for power
warrants it, the works can be extend
ed to produce, 1t is said, up to 100000
horse power.
With the birth of what may be
termed the new chemistry" which
may be explained as the manufacture
electrically of the chemical products
used in commerce, the existence of this
huge water-power is matter Of enor'
nous interest to the trading communi-
ty. The great difficulty hitherto in the
various new clectrochemical processes
has been the cost Of power. Steam
power, in the most favorably situated
districts, costs on an average $75 per
horsepower per year. At Niagara a
charge of $22 is made per horsepower
per annum, while at Massena 1t is pro-
posed to sell at the rate Of from $12 to
SIS per horsepower per annum.
The construction of the canal is to
be commenced at once, and 1t Is anti
cipated that at least $4,000 electrical
horsepower will be ready for delivery
next year. A large proportion of the
capital required for the st. Lawrence
Power Company of Massena-a COM
pany incorporated under an act of the
legislature of the state of New York
has been found in London.

greatest water-power on earth. Now
however, Gods country" has sur
passed itself, and a canal is to be con-
structed from the st. Lawrence river
capable of delivering between four and
five hundred thousand horsepower
These figures are so stupendous thai
1t is difficult to grasp them. at first, fol
such an amount of power is tantamount
to the discovery Of new coal field
with this immense advantage, that
while the largest coal fields must in
time be worked out, the mighty waters
of the st. Lawrence, fed by the great
lake system, will roll on unaffected by
the huge power developed. The site
Of this proposed great engineering
work Is Massena. small town situated
on the Grass river in the state Of New
York about sixty miles above Montreal
and about eighteen miles below Og'
densburg. A canal Is to be cut from
the st. Lawrence river to the Grass
river, which Is tributary Of the for
mer, and runs into 1t about six miles
below the town of Massena. The two
rivers run practically parallel to each
other for considerable distance, di-
vided by an almost level plateau OF
allutlal soil; but owing to the extraor'
linary topography of the land here, the
Grass river is about fifty-four feet be-
low the level of the St. Lawrence. By
cutting canal between the two rivers.

Located in Tama county, Iowa, where
the farm home Of Secretary of Agri-

large reservation of civilized Mus
quake Indians, says Judge. The red
skins were disgusted beyond express
sion, some years ago, when prohibi-
tion was adopted in Iowa, and have
taken no interest in legislation until
the past few weeks, while the assem-
bly, has been considering bill to per-
init the manufacture of liquor in the
state. Recently delegation Of nine
braves came down to the capital to
visit the state house. They called upon
the governor and high officials, in
spected the big building from top to
bottom, and finally were ushered into
the house chamber while that body
was In session. Upon invitation of the
speaker the chief addressed the law
makers as follows: "Chief Walk On
