ConcernIng Mark Twain.

One day recently Mark Twain got
home from Europe. He said that he had
been gone nine years, which seems inn
probable, but he accounted for all the.
intervening time. admitting that he pass
ed through this country in 1875 on his
way to Australia and lectured every
nigh, from New York TO San Francisco.
Half OF 1891 he spent in France and Ger
many. 1892 in Florence, 1893 and 1894
In France, 1895 and 1896 on his travels,
1897. 1893 and 1890 in London and
Vienna and Sweden. and now he comes
from England. 1t was in 1895 that he
formally began the labor of paying $780,
600 of the debts of Charles L. Webster
& Co. He accomplished it in a little
more than two years. He may be rich
man again by this time. He admitted
that he was rich enough to decline an
offer of $4,000 for 100 lectures.
Rich or poor, Mr.. Clemens is a very
much respected man and is nightly well
come home. He means to spend the win
ter in New York and to go to Hartford
when he gets ready in the spring and to
go to work at his trade as the spirit
moves him. He is a man of sentiment,
and a remarkably durable, sturdy and
well disciplined sentiment it Is. The only
sad thing about him Is that he has be-
come almost too exalted and exemplary
a person to joke about. But he can joke
about himself stillt and that's a comfort.

Why may we not by general consent and

of the trip, the 800" canal, as 1t is
Familiarity known, viii receive within
the next few months its much needed
enlargement and Improvement
There are now two locks in the
American canal. known as the Poe and
the weitzel locks, which are named
after eminent American engineers. The
Poe lock is the newer and is 800 feet
long and 100 feet wide The Weitzel
lock is COO feet In length and narrower.
The proposed Improvement to the
canal contemplates the enlargement OF
the Weltzel lock to the dimensions Of
LOGO and 100 feet, making 1t the
largest lock In the world. When 1t Is
completed, 1t will be able to accommo-
date Mt one lockage four Of the I'M
mense lake vessels, which are fully
500 feet in length The vessels en-
gagged In the lake carrying trade are
now quite as large as the transatlantic
liners Of few years ago.
The cost of the Sault Ste. Marie
canal has been very great The Welt
eel lock cost $2.50O.0OO. while for the
Poe Uncle Sam had to pay more than
twice as much. The cost of the new
improvements to the canal will be
fully S9.OOO,000. When one considers,
however, that there were more than
10000 lockages during the past year
and that on some days 160 vessels
passed through the canal and that
more than 90 per cent of the lake COM
merce is Yankee, our rich uncle seems
well able to afford the money.
The Sault Ste. Marie canal was In ex-
istence a long time ago, and its prin-
cipal users were the fur traders and
Indians. The word ''sault," by the
way, is French and means waterfall.
The old canal was diminutive In size
and of use only to canoes. When
American settlers appeared in the up
per peninsula, the need of a good ship
canal around the falls soon became
apparent. and an agitation was start
| ed to have congress appropriated the
money to build one. The government
has probably spent more up to date
than S1O,00O.00O on our canal.
The freight transported through the
| Sault Ste. MarieA canals amounts tC
more than $200,OO0,OO0 N a year. The
season Of 1900. has broker all theil
records. The end Of the season is a
hand, and almost 100000 tons o.
freight have passed through since
spring. The articles carried are man!
and varied. and some idea OF thei
magnitude and vshe may be gaiHe'
from this list: Nearly 6.00e,Q00 bushel
Of grain. more than 100000 tons, .
-four, more than 1900, 600 tons Of irol
ore and nearly 100000 tons of'coal
Quite a respectable showing for a re
gion that was antsbsolute wilderness
q century and a'half ago.

Most Americans know, of course, that
up here in what was once region in

ers a prosperous, thriving common
wealth has grown up, but few know or
realize that we have here ship canal
through which are transported more
tons of freight yearly than through the
world famed Suez canal. Through the
SauIt ste. Marie canals-there are two,
the American and the Canadian-about
1000 vessels pass annually, bearing
more than $4,000 passengers and more
than 100000 tons of freight. The
canals are open only months Of the

greater tonnage passes through them
than enters the port Of London or of
New York in twelvemOnth.

canals have been constructed, each
about three miles i'm length. The
American canal is the older and dates
back about n century. The Canadian
canal WAS constructed because the
Canucks wanted n waterway of their
own. st present each canal is used
by the people of both nations without
any hindrance. The use of either de-
ponds entirely upon their relative con-

1t is this congestion Of the canals
that presents serious difficulties to

has grown so enormously that the
canals no longer furnish sufficient ac-
commOdation for the shipping. A few
