Superiors mine products forced the con-
struction of new locks at the 500 with a
slxteen-foot waterway, and the deepen
ing of the st. Clair, flats chanel to a
similar guage, as web as the blasting
away of the rocky distractions of the
Detroit river. The century closed with
the beginning of work looking to the
construction of a twenty-one foot chan
mel all the way through the course of
great lakes navigation, with the ultimate
aim of the channels extension to the
sea. * Use
In fifty years the 900-ton freighter has
become the 500-foot steamer with 10000
tons carrying capacity, and the cost of
transporting a.; -bushel of wheat from
one-tenth of the charge of fifty years
ago Through the st. Mary's river there
is now carried annually 26643,073 tons of
freight, and through the Detroit river
more than 100000 tons. The 40, 100000
tons is carried in seven months, and ex-
ceeds the annual bulk of the Suez canal
tonnage fourfold. 1t exceeds by nearly
49, coo tons the total clearances for
eiSn and domestic, of the port of New
York for the last year.
The Hay Lake channel in the St.
Marys river, which strightens out some
bends and shortens the channel by
eleven miles, was completed by the gov
eminent at a cost of about $1,000, 0O0. The
estimated cost of the',S Clair and Erie
canal is from $6,50o,000 to s7,O00.0C0. ac-
cording to whether bridges or tunnels
are built for the four railroads which
cross the canal. The companys charter
permits it to sell bonds to the amount of
$40. 1000 for the construction work.
Among the plans incidental to the canal
project is the construction of a harbor
at the Lake Erie end of the canal. It is
said That there is no safe harbor in the
western end of Lake Erie for many miles
around the neighporhood of the proposed
canal outlet. and that the proposed har-
Dor would therefore be regarded as de-
sirable by the lake navigators. A ship
yard and coal storage yards are also
planned along d. contiguous to the canal.

!. PLANET PARTIES
A New Form of Entertainment De-
vised in California.


San Francisco Examiner
There is something. absolutely new I'M

the old saying should be paraphrased
into something absolutely new under the
moon. 1t is the planet party:'' and to
Mrs James H. eBudd. of Stockton. wife
of the ex-governor of California belongs
the honor of having originated it.
That statement in itself bespeaks some
thing out of the ordinary for there is
planet parties,'' mysteriously anuring
though the title sounds. They are a new
form of instruction.. made doubly in
teresting from the delightful entertain
ment they afford. And what could be
more romantic than a planet. party?''s
1t is intensely interesting to both young
and old alike, for the planet party is
star gazing in the most literal sense of
the term.
It,takes the guests from the restricted
limits of the parlor and the drawing
room out into the open air, across the
green. ass-earpeted lawn, though
the shadows of the towering trees and
up the winding stairs of the observatory
to revel in the glory of an autumn night
under "a clear star-iit sky There
of the heavens are brought down to be
viewed in turn by each of those present
and following this amusement refresh
ments are Servedato please the inner
man. Truly. whether it be spring. sum-
mer or autumn the planet party is
well calculated tot turn young mans
fancy to thoughts! Of the most tender
sentiments.
Mrs. Budd,s planet parties" however,
are the most -sedate and exclusive little
gatherings imaginable, for Mrs Budd
is very earnest in her chosen work, and
brings to her entertainments vast deal
of scientific knowledge, which she i'm
parts in a most pleasing manner. For
tunate indeed, dob those consider them
selves who haves had the pleasure of at
tending one of them. They are exclusive
for two reasons. In the first place Mrs.
Budd owns theFonly telescope in Stock
ton of any considerable size, and in the
next place it naturally follows that the
top, of an observatory that is only ten or
twelve feet square will not accommodate
a great many people Through Mrs.

the heavens. In the object glass of her
scope they assume distinctive form. Ju-
