India Has m Irrigation Canal Which

Washington Star
The Chenab irrigation canal, in the
northwest provinces, India, is 200 feet
broad. 1t is doubtless the largest
canal In the world. It's main channel
is $50 miles long, while the principal
branches have an aggregate length of
1000 miles, and the village branches
will extend, when completed, for an
additional 1000 miles. Apart from irri-
cation, the longest canal in the world
is that which extends from the frontier
Of China to st. Petersburg, and Is
4,472 miles In length. Another Russian
canal from Astrachan to st. Peters
burg. is ,434 miles long; both the last
named canals were begun by Peter the
Great. The Bengal canal, connecting
with the River Gauges, completed In
1854, Is 900 miles in length, and cost
$4,000, 600, or 1920 per mile. The total
length Of canals In India for irrigating
100000 acres is calculated at $4,000
miles. The Canal du Midi, connecting
the Atlantic with the Mediterranean,
is 14S miles long. The Caledonian
canal in Scotland has a length of 60
miles. The Suez canal is SO miles long,

Wide bracelets and necklaces that clasp
close about the throat, after the fashion Of
the Duchess of Marlborough's famous pearls,
are really in fashion, as long predicted they
would be. But all not being as fortunate as
the duchess in possessing the real article,
strings of imitation pearls fastened with sill
yer clasps are worn about the neck and
wrists with evening gowns. But pearls are
trying to the complexion. Gold necklaces and
bracelets are more becoming, hence are bound
to be most in vogue.-Boston Herald.

verdict, they were discharged and
the case continued to next term OF
court Doubtless Nolan's attor-
neys will make application in a
day or two for the granting of bond
to the accused and il the court
deems such a course judicious he
will name the sum. II it is low
enough Nolan may succeed in
making the same and will be at
liberty until the next term of
court.
1t is reported that three men on
the jury felt that Nolan deserved
some punishment and "involun-
tary manslaughter" was agreed
upon to satisfy them. Involun-
tary manslaughter could hardly be
a crime, because 1T is the element
of intent which makes the act of
an individual crime. Criminal
negligence is, of course, an excep-
tion could but not apply to any
thing which partook of the nature
of a homicide.
\ Nolan's crime consisted in kill.
ing a neighbor near Sapulpa in the
presence of the sons of both. AT
the time Of the killing they were
engaged In a fight. The defense
was justification. The government
sought to establish that the de-
fendant provoked the difficulty on
the occasion of the killing. Nolan
has been in Jail most of this year
and would have been tried in Feb
ruary had not the waters been up

He is a man, rather small of statue
and sadly lacking in intelligence.
