SCOTLAND'S GREAT CANAL.
Undertaking VIII Save Hundreds OF
Miles and Cost 10000, 900 Big
Engineering Feat

AS was recently stated in cable dis
patch, the plans for the construction OF
a ship canal between the Firth of Forth
on the east of Scotland, across to the
River Clyde, on the west, have been
definitely arranged The canal will cost
$50, 100000, but powerful support is ex.
pected from the British government
One of the great engineering features
of the scheme will be the carrying of the
canal near the Loeb Lomond end. FIRE.
quent passing places will be made.
An indication of the saving in dis
lance that would be effected by the
canal, says an exchange, will be gained
from the following figures: From the
Clyde to ports on the east coast of Scot
land, northeast of England, and north
west of Europe the distance saved
would be from 500 miles to 238 miles.
From the Firth of Forth to ports on the
west coast of Scotland, northwest OF
England, Ireland, America and the Med
iterranean the distance saved would be
from 4S7 to 141 miles. From Tyne
ports to the st. Lawrence river the dis
lance saved would be $50 miles. From
the west of Britain and northeast
of Ireland to middle western ports OF
the continent the distance saved would
be from 377 to SO miles.

British View of West Point
SURROUNDINGS BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRING AND
ARCHITECTURE OF THE BEST

various institutions of the academy, the
quarters of the married instructors, and
the barracks in which the attachments
of the regular army are housed. On the
river side there are several tiers of bat
teries. These, of course, are obsolete,
but they serve their purpose in furnish
ing instruction schools for the cadets.
There is nothing mean about the ar
chitecture with which the United
States government has surrounded its
military cadets The headquarters
buildings, the riding school, cadets bar
racks, library and gymnasium are all
fine buildings, and to these have now
been added the garrison officers mess
house and the Cullum Memorial hall,
the former a beautiful clubhouse,
erected at government expense, for the
G0-odd officers who hold appointments
as academy instructors; the latter a
magnificent public entertainment hall,
with spacious ballroom, theater, IL
brary and underground bedrooms,
raised in the interest of the cadets and
past graduates from funds bequeathed
by Gen. Cullum.
The little post is beautified with other
memorials. Near the flagstaff, to the
north of the parade ground, stands a
handsome monument to the memory OF

all West Point graduates who fell dur
ing the civil war. There is another mon
ument to perpetuate the memory OF the
late Mai. Dales command, which was
annihilated by Indians in 1885. Dotted
about the post are statues OF eminent
American generals, and into prominent
rocks the names of famous battles have
been inserted, the lettering usually
being of gun metal, trophy from that
particular engagement 1t commend
rates Altogether, the surroundings OF
West Point are beautiful and inspiring;
and, far removed from the evil in
fiuences of town life, the cadets find
there just the necessary relaxation tc
save them from mental breakdown. A
certain amount of social intercourse Is
open to them through their dancing
hall. The countryside in the environs
of West Point is studded with the coun-
try villas of wealthy New Workers.
During the summer there Is no difficulty
in arranging partners for the dancing
lessons, as all fashionable New York
has fed the city to escape the heat
Thus the cadets obtain just sufficinet
social intercourse to make them pol
ished gentlemen. but cot enough to turn
their heads.

addition has been fitted for loom

their increased trade called for more

The company have made great adj

now have an uuto-date plant. When
they started business here few
years ago, it was in small frame
building facing on Raleigh street, but
their increaing trade called for more
goods, aud to meet the demand more
wor kmen had to be secu red, and be-
fore this could be done more machin-
erv aud building had to be placed.
From time to time. as the call for
their goods increased, large brick
buildings we're erected, until at last
they occupy neatly a square. AL
though one building has just been
completed. there is no telling how long
it will be before others will have
to be erected.
Since starting business in this CITY,
the company has opened other branch
mills in virginia, one of the largest
being at Brucetown. where business
is progressing, although OIL smaller
scale than ia this city. Most of their
workinen are skilled at the work, and
the goods that are turned out are OF

some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.

easy way out of the difficulty

the United States, has many in
terestlng things to say about our great
military training school.
West Point, he writes among other
things, as its name in part suggests, is
a point on the left bank of the Hudson
river, about As to so miles from the sea-
The point stands out well into the
stream, commanding both reaches
which form the angle of the river. In
front of the now obsolete defenses that
defend the waterway on the far bank,
rise the succession of verdure-clothed
hills which finally mass themselves into

formation of the hills Che Hudson here
is narrow, deep and turgid, so that the

not for the forest setting to the back

The president has not indicated
whether or not he has personal de-
