A CANAL TO THE WHITE SEA.

The Engineering Plans Approved by
the Russian Authorities.
In communication to the state de-
partment concerning the ship canals of
Russia, John e. Kehl, the United Con-
sui at Stettin, says:
"The proposed ship canal between
ST. Petersburg and the White sea, en-
gineering plans of which have been
approved by the minister of communi-
cation, is to be commenced in June of
this year. In brief, the plans are as
follows: The naval port Cronstadt
(the entrance to st. Petersburg is to
be connected with the new naval har-
Dor Sorotskaja, on the White sea, by a
canal of sufficient breadth and depth
to admit the passage of Russia's great
est cruisers. The extreme depth will
be thirty-one feet, while the water sur
face will have breadth of 200 feet.
The length of the canal will be 963 kilo-
meters. and it will pursue the following
course: From the river Neva to Lake
Ladoga; across the lake to Svir river,
and the entire length of this stream to
Lake Omega; due north through new
canal to Sego lake; again by canal to
Vigozero lake; and thence to the gulf
of Omega and White sea.

The Peril of Pride.

Once there were some very swagger
from the metropolis who decided that
no society yet punched together was
exclusive enough for them. Even the
Colonial Danes failed to meet the re-
quirements. So they determined to
start new aggregation that should
be the real thing.
After considerable thought they
concluded that il they limited mem
bership to direct descendants &C
Fernando de Soto it would be suf-
ficiently exclusive for their fastidious
tastes. "a Society of the Sons AMI
Daughters of de Soto" was the out
come. All the best people in the vil-.
lage proved that they were eligible,
and were enrolled as charter mem-.
bers.
However, there was one man On
the outer fringe whose proof If
descent was not accepted; in short.
he was blackballed. This made him
angry, and he started to investigate
the subject.
One day he published his findings
in the local newspaper. The princi-
pal fact was this: f. de Soto died
bachelor"
The Sons and Daughters Of de Soto
are now known as the Elite Euchre
Club.

The whole of the residential portion
OF Windsor castle was rebuilt during
the reign of George ", by Wyattville,
at a cost of $500, 200, from first to
last, including the Round Tower.
The fact is that nothing could
possibly be more magnificent than the
interior of the castle, and the private
apartments combine comfort, luxury
and splendor to degree which is
not surpassed by any other imperial
or royal residence in Europe. The
corridor is absolutely unique, and the
drawing rooms and the state and
private dining rooms are very fine.
AS to the suites of rooms occupied by
members Of the royal family or by
guests, they leave nothing to be de-
sired in their arrangement.
Another statement that Sandring-
ham Hall is to be considerably en-
larged is also incorrect, no additions

plated. Sandringham viii be con

THE ROYAL SAVAGE.
Old Wreck in Lake ChampIain Being
Searched by Divers.

The recovery, within the last few
days by a Chicago diver, of various
interesting relics from the wreck of
the schooner Royal Savage. in lake
Champlain, south of Valcour Island, is
g reminder that the beautiful lake was
once scene of naval warfare long
before Commodore McDonough won his
famous victory on its waters in Au-
gust, 1914. The Royal Savage dates
back to 1776, and belonged to an expe-
dition under command of Benedict Ar
mold. After an attack by the British
she was grounded and abandoned by
her crew. Then the boat was set on
fire by the enemy and sunk. The hull
is still intact, but no one supposed that
it contained relics of value, until the
diver, the other day brought to the
surface several gun carriages, a large
number Of 10-pound solid shot, grape
shot, buttons from officers uniforms
and other articles. Benedict Arnold's
private papers were lost at the tima1
of the engagement and it is possible"
they may still exist somewhere in the.
wreck of the old ship. Should the
be recovered, they might prove VI a
peculiar contribution to Revolutions
history, especially if they should te1 =,
to show that Arnold was even theD
plotting to betray his country.
The enterprising diver, however, APP
pears to have struck a snag The
wreck lies in New York waters, and
the United States officials at Platts-
burg have been after him on a charge
of violating section 1888 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States which
provides for the punishment of every
person who plumbers, steals OF de-
stroys any money, goods, merchandise
or other effects from or belonging to
to any vessels in distress, or wrecked,
lost or stranded, or cast away, upon
the sea or in any other place within
the admiralty of the United States"
He got out of range temporarily by
moving his boat into Vermont waters.
He claims, however, that the law has
not been violated, as the wreck of the
Royal Savage has never been reclaim
ed by the American government, and
though it lies in American waters it
long ago became public property In
any event, the government might well
make an exception in this case and
allow the explorations to proceed
