DISMAL SWAMP CANAL.
An Artery Connecting Northern an
Southern Commercial Interests.

An Artery Connecting Northern and
Southern Commercial Interests.
NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 30.-When the pro-
moters of the Dismal Swamp Canal. re-
Gently opened to navigation. evolved the
scheme Of more closely connecting the
commercial interests of the North and the
South by means of this inland waterway it
is doubtful If they fully realized what an
important artery of commerce their en-
terprise was destined to be.
As soon as the canal was formally OPEN
ed to traffic several OF the largest lumber
firms Of Baltimore and Philadelphia, quick
to see its advantages. Immediately availed
themselves of its opportunities, and as
result the canal is doing a business which
is doubtless far in excess Of what was an
ticipated by its owners. One day last week
three barges. carrying over 100000 feet
OF dressed lumber. passed through the ca
nal, en- route from North Carolina to Phil
adelphia. Other vessels, schooners. barges,
tugs, and yachts find a safe and pleasant
route South through the canal.
The recent passage of the four -masted
BERTHE and Maud. Captain Levins, was an
event which proved very gratifying to those
interested. This vessel Is considered the
most difficult to handle Of any that uses
the canals in the North Carolina lumber
trade. The schooner drew eight and one
half feet of water and carried the largest
single cargo ever taken through the canals.

Losses in Maryland.
FREDERICK, Nd, Oct. 30.-The fires
that have been raging in the Catoctin range
Of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the vicinity
of White Rock, northwest of Frederick,
have been greatly checked and in many
places entirely extinguished by the heavy
downpour of rain that commenced early
yesterday morning and continued through
out the day. The mountains had been on
fire in many places in that vicinity since
Monday, and but little attention was paid
to them, as nothing but underbrush and
leaves were being consumed. but Saturday
a stiff wind prevailed. which famed the
smoldering embers into flames, and large
pine trees burned like tinder. The fire was
visible from any part of the city Saturday
night and large volumes of smoke rolled
down over the town.
1t is said the path of destruction is nearly
two miles, and that timber has been burned
off Of about 1,20G acres of land, and that
many small outbuildings have been con-
sumed. The rapid progress of the fire Sat
urday night created the greatest alarm, as
It was gaining great headway toward a
thickly-settled section of the mountain,
where there are many fine homes and barns.
Many hundred men went to work plow-
ing and grubbing up the underbrush at dis
tant points TO create an intervening space
to check the flames. but the heat from the
pine trees was intense, and the wind carried
flames beyond these points. However, the
heavy rains coming TO the rescue, soon
checked it. Many hundred people drove out
10 the mountains last night TO witness the
scene of destruction.

MAGICIAN HATAL DEAD.
Fatal Effects of q Miatake In a Shoot.
ing Trick.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3o.-Michael Hatal. the
magician known as ''the bullet catcher" ,"
who was accidentally shot on Saturday
night while giving an exhibition at an East
Side hall. died at 4:3O o'clock yesterday
afternoon in Bellevue Hospital
Frank Benyo, who under Hatals in
structions, fired the fatal shot at him,
was discharged by Magistrate Olmstead
yesterday in the Yorkville police court.
Hatal having made an ante-mortem state
ment generating him from blame.
Hatal was a cabinet maker by trade, but
devoted much of his spare time to con-
juring. His prize trick was catching a
bullet supposed to be fired at him from an
old-fashioned musket. The leaden bullet
chosen by somebody in the audience to
be fred when the trick was properly per-
formed was never placed in the gun, a
harmless one of wax which the heat of
the explosion would melt taking its place.
On this occasion the leaden bullet got into
the musket somehow, and Benyo. who had
gone from the audience to fire the gun,
shot the conjurer near the heart.

present building with one that will be
credit to the roads and an ornament to

new station is made imperative by the
necessity of elevating the tracks of the
Lake Shore and Rock Island from Six
teenth Street into the station, in order to
do away with the dangerous grade cross
ing at Harrison Street. That crossing, Just
at the end of the trainshed where the
trains enter the station, not only endan-
gers life and property but seriously delays
the movement of trains. The city officials
have been urging elevation of the tracks
at that point for some time but the rail-
road officials claim that 1t cannot be done
unless Taylor Street is vacated by the
city between Clark Street and the river.

They Are Rapidly Developing Intelligence and
Learn to Pick Cotton in the Southland.

It was surprising how fast the mon
to hold the cotton were placed at each
end of the rows, and one man besides
the trainer was necessary to take the
cotton out of the sacks and put il in
the baskets provided.
The female monkeys proved mich
better pickers than the males. For
they not only picked cleaner cotton,
but they also picked more Of it in 4
day than did the males. In less than
a month after the twenty monkeys
were started they could pick 300
pounds of seed cotton a day. They
picked in weather when negroes
would not have picked, and always a
cleaner grade of cotton. The cost Of
picking was, of course. infinitely less.
This first experiment proved to Mr.
Mangum that monkeys could be used
with great success as cotton pickers.
So. in June. 1898, he gave an order for
500 monkeys of the same breed to an
exporter of monkeys from Africa. with
the understanding that the greater
part of them were to be females.
About the first Of September of this
year the new batch Of monkeys ar
rived, and the services Of the old train
er were again engaged TO train the
new lot. But this was not such an
easy task as was at first imagined. for
many Of the monkeys were wild and
untamable at first. Finally, with the
aid of the twenty old monkeys. who
were OF great assistance, and a great
deal of harsh punishment and OF re-
ward, the new gang OF monkeys was
trained by the middle Of last October.
Cotton planters throughout the
South have watched the experiment
with a great deal of interest. Many
have visited the plantation near

Charms Of Christmas Island.

Christmas Island, in the Indian
Ocean, is curious place, according to
the description of Mr. Charles w. An
drews, an Englishman, who recently
visited it. The island is entirely COW
cred with forests, except on the verti-
cal faces of the cliffs, and ferns and
creepers beautify its scenery. The eli
mate is delightful all the year round.
but some of the inhabitants are not so
pleasing. Among these are swarms Of
rats and many varieties Of land crabs.
The robber crab abounds, and when
Mr.. Andrews sat down for a short
time anywhere in the forest numbers
of these crabs could be seen approach
ing. They readily climb trees in
search Of food. About 40 people now
live on Christmas Island, which has
been found to be we'll suited for coffee
growing.
