Magnificent Canal Planned.

A canal is to be built about the
grounds Of the Pan-American exposi-
ton to be held in Buffalo in 1901. In
the construction of this canal 1T will be
necessary to remove 10000 cubic
yards of earth, for the canal will be
nearly two miles in length. and it will
be not less. than 40 feet in width and
from 31s feet to feet in depth, says
the New York Herald. This magnifi-
cent waterway will skirt the entire eS-
position grounds. and on either side of
1t there will be beautiful walks 80 feet
in width.

MACHINE TO FIRE ENGINES.
Indiana Mans Device May Dust All
Locomotive Firemen.

Locomotive Firemen.
a device has been invented by n resi-
dent of Indianapolis which is expected
to work a revolution in the matter of
firing engines on railroad trains. 1t
will soon be given test by the Penn
sylvania company with a view to using
IL on that system. The device has not
vet been patented, and for that reason
the name of the inventor is withheld
for the present from the public.
The work of the machine is to throw
coal into the fire box of an engine and
evenly distribute it and is so arranged
that the. engineer, by turning n little
wheel, can place the coal in the fire box
at the rate of about 81 cubic feet in a
second, says the Chicago Times-Her-
aid. This work is now done by the
fireman with n shovel, who throws
about 20 pounds at a time.
The machine has been tried and has
been found TO work perfectly, and it is
thought that il will solve the problem
of poor firing of engines and do away
with firemen entirely. superintendent
Mansfield of the Pennsylvania COM
pany has examined the machine and
says that there appears to be nothing
in the way of its accomplishment OK

ATTACKED BY A DEER.
Hunter Was Becoming Exhausted
When His Dog Came to His Rescue.

Hunter was becoming Exhausted
When His Dog Came to His Rescue.
ID. II. Eaton CT Wilbraham, Mass,
was out hunting foxes on the old road
on Wilbraham mountain the other
morning when he heard a rustling be-
hind him and, looking around, saw a
fine buck weighing at least 300 pounds.
He was unprepared for large game and
thought TO frIghten the animal by
jumping 1T it and giving a whoop, says
the New York Sun. The deer was not
frightened at all Rather, in turn, did
il seek TO intimidate Mr.. Eaton by rear
ing and charging on him.
Mr.. Eaton took a neighbours fence at
bound. The deer bounded over also,
and when Mr.. Eaton leaped over back
the deer followed. So it continued for
several minutes Mr.. Eaton lost his
gun and, becoming exhausted. feared
he might be trampled to death. Just
then his hound put in n welcome APP
pearance and attacked the deer, catch
ing it by the throat. After throwing
the dog about 20 feet the buck started
off on n run. with the dog on it's trail.
That is the last Mr.. Eaton has seen of
either of them.
