How Music Affects Animals.

The effect of music on animals was
recently tested by a violinist in Ber-
lin menagerie. The influence Of the
violin was greatest on the puma, which
became much excited when quicksteps
were played, but was soothed by slow
er measures. Wolves showed an appre-
ciative interest, lions and hyenas were
terrified, leopards were unconcerned,
and monkeys stared in wonder at the
performer.

CANALS IN THE. NORTHWEST.
The Great Development and Increase
of Traffic During the Last
Few Years.

The first locks at St. Mary's falls
were opened in 1855, in which year
the registered tonnage was l06,296.
The half-million mark was reached in
1863, and the 1000, 900 mark was passed
an 1873. In 1881, exactly coincident
with the opening of a new and much
larger lock. the northwest began to
grow by leaps and bounds, and the ton
mage of the canal rose from 100000
tons in 1852 to 100000 in 1880 and to
16 600 .onO in 1896. During the past five
years. Two more enormous locks have
