Most of them are reduced society women. who, searching about for some method whereby to pad their incomes. have hit upon the champagne rivalry as offering them a profitable field. and they make money. The word tout isn't exactly a pleasant one. but these women wine agents are really cham pagne touts. They induce their friends and acquaintances to use their firms brands of champagne on occasions of festivity, and not a few of them have been known to go after business in con- nection with hotels and cafes, but they do this in a roundabout way.

Fort De France. Martinique. May II
1t now seems to be generally admit
ted that about 10000 persons lost their
lives as a result of the outbreak of the
Mont Pelee volcano at st. Pierre ON
Thursday last.
Careful Investigation by competent
government officials show that the ear
lier reports of the Associated Press
were accurate.
Briefly put. last Thursday morning
the city of ST. Pierre disappeared with
in ten minutes. in Il whirlng vomit
from Mont Pelee: 10000 persons were
instantly and horribly killed. and vol
cano. whose ancient crater for more
than fifty years had been occupied by
quiet lake in which picnic parties
bathed, suddenly discharged Il torrent
Of fiery mud. which rolled toward the
sea. engulting everything before 1t.
Then the last of cable communication
was broken. and the doomed city was
isolated from the world.
The American consul at GuadalOupe,
Louis II. Ayme, has reached the desc
late spot where st. Pierre stood and con-
firms the awful story in all its essen
tial details. From an interview with
Consul Aymc. who is a trained Ameri-
can newspaper man. Il correspondent
of the Associated Press learned the fol
lowing facts:
Thursday morning the inhabitants of
the city awoke to find heavy clouds
shroudng the Mont Pelee crater. All
day Wednesday horrid detonatiOns had
been heard. These We're echoed from
St. Thomas on the north to Barba-
does on the south. The canonading
ceased on Wednesday night, and fine
ashes fell like rain on st. Pierre. The
inhabitants We're alarmed, but Cover
nor Mouttet. who had arrived at st.
Pierre the evening before, did every
thing possible to allay the panic.
The British steamer Roraima reached
St. Pierre on Thursday with ten pas

Stokes and her three children. and Mrs.
II. J. 1nce. They We're watching the
rain of ashes when. with a frightful

Pierre was reached.
The city of st. Pierre stretched near
ly two miles along the water front. and
half mile back to Il cliff ut the base
of the volcano The houses of the rich

The still smoking volcano lowered

With great difficulty landing was

tact. Viscid heaps of mud, of bright

were seen on every side. The streets
could hardly be traced Here and
there. amid the ruins, were heaps Of
corpses. Almost all the faces were
downward
In one corner twenty-five bodies of
men, women and children We're
mingled in one awful mass, arms and
legs prOtruding as the helpless beings
fell in the last struggles of deaths ag-
ony. Through the middle of the old
Place Bertin ran tiny stream. the re-
mains of the river. Giant trees, with
roots upwards and scOrched by fire.
, We're strewn in every direction. Huge
blocks and still hot stones We're scat
tered about. From under one large
stone the arm of white woman pro-
truded. Most notable was the utter
silence, and the awful overpOwering
stencil from the thousands of dead.
Careful inspection showed that the
fiery stream which SO completely de
stroyed st. Pierre must have been COM
posed of poisonous gases, which in
stantly sutfocated every one who in
hailed them, and of other gases burn
ing furiously, for nearly all the vic
tins had their hands covering their
mouths or were in some other attitude

from suffocation. All the bodies Were
carbonized or roasted.

Brltain's earliest canals date from
the time of the Romans; and one of
them, the Foss Dyke, in Lincolnshire,
can still be used. But it is to the Duke
of Bridswater that the British people
must look at the initiator of canals as
a recognized means of transit. He,
aided, by Brindley, gave an impetus to
canal-making in the country which re-
suited in great commercial develop
ments. In 1867 Manchester and Liver
pool were united by canal. and coal
and iron industries grew with enor-
nous rapidty. Soon 5000 miles Of
canals were established.
The total mileage of canals in Eng
land is 3,O5O; in Scotland 1854; in Ire
land, 500.
OF course the Manchester ship canal
Is the greatest canal in the British Is
lands; its construction was one of the
greatest engineering feats of modern
times. Thirtyfive and a half miles
long. it cost 100000.
France has 5000 miles of canals,
owned by the state. as are the canals
OF Belgium and Holland.
The Amsterdam ship canal, giving
an outlet to the North Sea, is over six
teen miles long, took ten years to
make and cost E2,6O0, 900
Though only four miles long. the
canal across the Isthmus of Corinth
took more than ten years to construct.
and cost nearly f2,OO0,OOO
Sixty miles long is the Baltic canal,
which starts near Kiel. and joins the
Elbe at Brunsbuttel. 1t cost G8,O0O,-
900.
Sea-going vessels reach St. Peters
burg by a canal between that city and
Cronstadt, twenty miles long.
Lake Erie is connected with the
Hudson river by canal which is part
Of system of waterways over GAO
miles long, owned by New York state.
Canada has. after ten years. COM
pleted scheme which opens an i'm
mense waterway between the great
lakes, the st. Lawrence and Montreal.
admitting ships of fourteen feet
draught.
The Suez canal is too well known to
need description. This waterway of
ninety-five miles length is, owing to
the greater tonnage of present steam
ers, to have its depth increased TO
thirty feet.
The longest canal is the Imperial
canal of China which is 1000 miles
in length
OF schemes for canals not yet con-
structed. the most famous are those
for cutting across the Isthmus of
Panama. and connecting the Pacific
and Atlantic oceans; and the rival
project for canal through Nicaragua
Many lives and 120.000000 francs
were lost in the Panama scheme for a
forty-seven mile long canal.
The Nicaragua canal will be ITO
miles long. if it is ever finished. 1t
was started in 1889. but want of monay
has retarded its progress. But Am
ericans favor it, and they have way
of seeing things through.
An interesting suggestion has been
made for shortening the route to the
east coast of India by $50 miles. by
cutting through the Island of Rames-
waram, and making channel through
the Gulf of Manaar and Palk Strait,
not now navigable.
