scoTLANp,s GREAT CANAL.
the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 As was recently stated in a 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, o0,0oO. but powerful support is expected from the British government. One of the great en- glneetlng features of the scheme will be the carrying of the canal through the high ground near the Loch Lomond end. Fre- quent passing places will be made.
 An indication of the saving in distance that would be effected by the canal will be gained from the following figures: From the Clyde to ports on the east coast of Scotland, northeast of England. and north west of Europe, the distance saved would be from 529 miles to 238 miles. From the Firth of Forth to ports on the west coast of Scotland northwest of England, Ireland. America and the Mediterranean the distance saved would be from 4S7 to Al miles. From Tyne ports to the St. Law renee river the distance saved would be 150 miles. From the west of Britain and northeast of Ireland to middle western ports of the continent the distance saved would be from BIT to sS miles.

LONG HAIR IN MISSOURI.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 Maryville, Mo-, claims to have as many young women with long, beautiful hair as any town of It's size. The Tribune published an interesting "story" about some of them last week. Miss Pearl Briggs. telephone operator has hair almost five feet long. Mrs. Chloe Craig wife Of Gallatin Craig judge of the Cir cult court, has a mass of rich auburn tresses which. although she Is tall, reach to her shoe tops. Miss Katherine Tur- ner. who Is a blonde. has hair fifty-eight inches long, and 1t Is so heavy that she has not for several years been able to dress It without help. Miss Martha Smiths dark brown hair Is more than four feet long, and used to be somewhat longer. Miss Clara Yaple's ''crowning glory reaches below her knees None of these women recommend any par ticular method Of growing long hair. Miss Briggs was kept closely shingled till she was 10 years old. Miss Turner combs her locks every night with the fine teeth of coarse comb. The notion that long hair Is incompatible with good health receives little support from these Mary ville women, most of whom are well and strong

Interest Rate and the Crops.

Stocks are erumbllng in Wall street again This is directly due perhaps to the continuance of gold exports. Last week s7.142.31S of gold was sent out. and perhaps as much more will be exported this week. Altogether since January l gold to the value of s32 ,475, ,720 has gone across the sea. The shipments of gold are made chiefly to Berlin and Paris. These money centers are able to draw money from London via New York. The Bank of Berlin is still endeavor- ing to increase its specie reserves.
 It is believed, however, in New York that the gold exports will speed fly be made good by tho arrival of S2O.000,0oO from the Klondilze. Gold, too, is coming to San Francisco from Alaska. Altogether when the calen- dar year is ended VIC may hold as much gold as we did at it's opening, provided of course we make large corn and cotton crops, the wheat crop being large and well assured.
 The export of gold. together with the near approach of the season for the moving of wheat, corn and cotton, not to mention the lesser crops, will have a continuing tendency towards making money firm. Stiffer rates are anticipated. Time funds are held close up to per cent in New York. no matter how good the collateral may be. All have to pay for the use of money nearly, if not quite, per cent in New York, and the effect of such rates is felt, particularly in Wall street, and in milder degree throughout the country.
 It Is not probable that money will be easy and cheap again before Christmas. and this means that no lasting rally in stocks and bonds will take place before that time, although the knowledge that great crops had been made may work wonders. So that after all this is a waiting period waiting to see what the outturn of tho crops will be.

THE kAIsER's PIPE.

From ihe London Chronicle.
 The German Emperor seems bent on breaking fresh ground In every direction, for we learn that. on going ashore at Hegoland the other day he was wearing olslIlns and smoking a short pipe probably a French briar. unless indeed it may have been an Irish clay cutty. This is quite a new departure like his majesty's recent assumption of pince- neg when reading newspapers in the tran. When he began his reign the Kaiser smoked nothing but cigarettes-very long and big ones they were. and from these he gradually ascended to light Dutch ci- gars, almost of a straw color, costing penny each. Now he has taken to pipe such as may be seen between the teeth of vachfsmen at Cowes. His father, the Emperor Frederick. took his tobacco in porcelain pipe of the student type. The old Emperor. on the other hand. true to the tradition of his youth. never smoked, or at least he never went beyond raising a cigarette to his lips at military messes and shooting parties as signal to the rest of the company that they might now
 light 'up.

TAKING iE.s;--.ioDs. F; -
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
 It is ten years since novel readers all over the United States and all over the United Kingdom were reading Ships That Pass in the Night" and in that time Beatrice Harraden has not engaged public attention to any great extent. She is likely to be much talked about again, however, when her new moved. "Kath- crime Frensham,'' which is now running as a serial is published in book form; and when 1t becomes generally known that the authoress has quite definite intention of writing for the stage, Miss Harraden is confident that her latest work-which she Is now rewriting-will please her army of readers nearly if not quite as much as did Ships Certainly if careful work goes for anything. 'kath- crime Frensham' should fulfll its an- thors expecta lions. for the history of it's preparation must come near to consti- tuting a record.
 Miss Mary Chalmondeley is the de- spar of publishers In the time she re- quires for the delivery of a manuscript, but when the proprietors of "The Queen" the periodical in which Miss fIarraden's new story Is appearing- asked her to write them a serial the little lady stipu- lated for four years in which to accom- plish the taskl It is known that Miss Harraden prefers-in fact, is obliged on account of her health-to work very slow ly. but 1 do not think 1t has been stated that her period of work never exceeds two hours a day, and quite frequently she leaves her task after that period of time with little more than a page written.
 confirmed victim of writer's cramp. the authoress is obliged to use a pen with specially made holder of cork and of impressive size. Here Is a quaint little ehirography that looks as if the wind might have been blowing hard when 1t was written but no one who even has seen the authore5s's painstalsng manu- scripts with their numberless ensures and corrections has ventured to suggest the use of a typewriter to her So '"rhe Queen people had to wait nearly sthe whole four years originally set before the manuscript of "Katherine Frensham" finally came Into their hands The story will appear in volume form next autumn. It Is interesting to hear from Miss Har- raden herself that she rarely knows when she sits down to write a book what its plot Ia going to be. She has the lead ing characters clearly imagined in her mind. as we'll as what might be called the opening situation. and after she has .'r,ing up her curtain the story gradu- ally shapes itself as it's author sees ft.
 Miss Harraden has aspirations in the direction of dramatic authorship for some years and means to gratify one of them by starting work on a comedy the theme of which she has had in mind for long ti,ne--as soon she has m- parted the finishing touches to the re- uritten ..Katherine Frensham."

Mir. EnqstfeId Returns.

c. c. Engsfeld, member of the com mittee for revision of the constitution of the Engineering Association of the South, returned from a trip to Memphis yester- day. where he attended a meeting of the Memphis Engineering society. At this meeting a proposition was submitted by this committee through Robert L. Lund of Nashville, looking towards the amal- gamatlon of all the engineering socie- ties in the south to have local sections in the various cities in the south.
 MT. Engstfeld states that the sentiment at the Memphis meeting seemed rather favorable and the chances are very bright for a strong organization of civil engineers in the south.
 The Memphis society appointed a com mlttee to investigate the matter thor oughly and report at the next regular meeting, at which time definite action will probably be taken.

SOME POINTERS ON HOW
 TO ENCIRCLE THE GLOBE

and speed. Without handsome subsidies or official pressure there is not likelv to be any great improvement in the service of the line which connects the Siberian railway with Japan. The freight business alone will hardly justify 1t for some time yet. Practically all of the steamers which cross the Pacific start from Hong Kong, and make Nagasald and Yokohama ports of call Consequently. 1t is the trade of Southern China and of Japar which will dictate both the number of vessels en- gagged In the transoceanic service and their sailing dates. A steady development may be confidently expected here while any little dribets of freight. passenger or mail business which come down from Siberia will be small In comparison. II is to the growth of American commerce with the more densely populated parts of east ern Asia. therefore. that the world must look for more frequent trips across the Pacific ocean. and a reduction of the chances of detention to ransmundane passengers.

sr oalY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
IncontestabIe Deeds.

The squabble over coal lands held by the University of Alabama and oth- CT institutions recalls the fact that state after state is adopting the Tor rens system, which was designed for the purpose of quieting titles.
 Under this system all disputed claims are heard in a given time, and after such hearings titles became ab- solute to the holders of approved deeds. All such deeds are then taken up. and kept on file, and the state is- sues new deed, which becomes at once incontestable. As sales are made old deeds are cancelled, and new deed is made by the state.
 A movement has sprung up in Geor- gia looking to the adoption there of the Torrens system. "By this simple plan," says the Atlanta Constitution, "a deed to real estate would become as good as a government bond and could be used as basis of credit for loans and other accommodations with the same ease and expedition. Tho adoption of the system would be yalu able beyond computation to the real estate owners of Georgia, establish a higher order of credit throughout the state, end many causes of prolonged -and costly litigation, and emancipat- ing many man from sharks, shysters and land title speculators. MT. Des- sau will win an enyiable popular fame if he will follow up his proposition with active zeal to it's final adoption. :"
 The legislature in September will not have time to deal with this ques- tion of titles. but 1t could appoint commission without pay to investi- gate 1t and to report in January, 1907. when the next legislature will meet. The people will demand the adoption of the new system by that time.

Advice for Neuroes.

Booker T. Washington recently Sc- livered an address in a large church owned by people of his race in Att lanta, and here is an eytract from that address:
 Work, work with your hands and put the best that is in your head into the work of your hands. Do 1t better than any one else can do 1t. Buy your own houses. Buy land. Have bank account. Don't spend seven days at camp meet ing when you ought to be improving your farm. Learn how to use your hands in such a way that no one can take your place. Be taxpayers; and when you are taxpayers you will have the best interests of the community in your heart and thls much-mooted race question will have been settled"
 Whole volumes addressed to the negroes of the south might be written, and yet not give them more or better advice than is contained in the brief paragraph we have quoted. No men, tion is made, 1t is true. of common school education, but this is fairly implied, for the man works best who is best informed The principal of Tuskegee is a thorough believer in public schools-in the simple knowl- edge of reading and writing-and he rarely fails to commend it. He could not put everything in a few lines, and he has done well to compress so much valuable advice in small space.
 If the paragraph we have quoted were read daily or at least weekly. to every adult negro in Alabama, we would have more productivity. and therefore moro prosperity, in this state. If, better still, every negro could be compelled to learn it and to recite 1t daily, this new plan for soly- ing the race issue would be applied much sooner and more effectually.
 Nothing short of Booker Washing tons plan will serve the blacks of thls state efficiently, and whatever serves the blacks we'll will add to the pros perity of the whites. The improvi- dence of the blacks is their own worst enemy, and it is this that the Tus- kegee school Is trying to overcome. It has a gigantic task on it's hands. and there are plenty of whites who think it's task Is beyond the power of any man or any school. But this re. mains to be seen. The ceaseless dripping of water wears away the hardest of rocks. and it may be that years of reform efforts will render the blacks provident. The task is worthy any ones best efforts.

night at the old Academy of Music. The play was a farce comedy. and the third act set represented a glade in a forest. It called for q dark waterproof ground cloth, which we carried. The cloth was a necessity, as we used a rain effect in this act. and the thick canvas held the water and kept the stage dry. Late In the afternoon I went behind the curtain to see that everything was in readiness. him on the paint frame. To my horror he was painting the ground cloth. What are you doing? 1 demanded almost in a rage Matching the color of the trees replied props throwing more green on the canvas from a big brush. .But. you idiot, that won't dry before tonIght's performanee' I exclaimed Tn exaspera- ton. I think 1t will. meelly answered Robinson shaping on the finishing touches. There was nothing to do but to trust to props The performance began. and finally the curtain rose on the third act The actors came on. Every step they took their feet stuck to the freshly painted cloth. However, they managed to move through their parts. But the worst was to come. The two principal comedians started to fight a duel with pistols, and in the height of the fareical play, the rain pipe opened, and down came the rain if torrent Um- brellas went up. and one Of the come dians started to exhibit his joy at tho interruption of hostilities by a flourish of his legs when he slipped and fell full length on his face. He arose greener than the Emerald Isle. Props paint was all over him. The audience fairly shrieked with laughter. and the curtain came down. A moment later a thud was heard In the wings Robinson was out. The green comedian had put him to sleep with one blow"

From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 According to the editor of well known railway and steamship guide. there are a hundred different ways In which the journey can be made around the wrld, but there has been no concerted effort for a through schedule. Taking Into con sideration the best time now usually made on the component sections of route which includes the Trans-siberian road, It is found that only from forty three to forty-ive days need be spent in actual travel. Within the next two or three years this may be shortened to for ty. The trouble, though. Is with the connections. Were the Pacific coast of the United States to be the starting point for such journey. and were man to go in an easterly direction, his first change would be at New York. Only by the grossest mlscalculation could he misss his steamship here. If ne did, and he emergency justified paying for ac- communications by different line. he would never be delayed in this city more than from one to three days. Having reached Moscow, ten or eleven days later, he could be sure of catching a daily ex- press that traversed Northern Asia. At last accounts. the attachment of din- ing car was still only a weekly practice but that obstacle is not lnsuperable. and ought soon to be removed altogether. Hence. there should be no serious hitch in the travellers arrangements untii ne reached Dalny or Port Arthur.
 Theoretically those Trans-Slberian ex- nresses make the run in thirteen and a half days. but rarely do 1t in less than fif- teen. Russia has provided weekly steamer to connect with Japanese ports. If the San Francisco man waited any where from one to six days in Moscow, so as to take the right train, he would prob- ably waste no time at the eastern term mus of the line but If he took any other express he would probably miss the boat. His first serious embarrassment would be encountered. then, on the Pacific coast. The next one would be met at Yokohama. Steamers for San Francisco leave only about once in three weeks. There Is a line to Vancouver. and its sailing dates probably do not coincide with those of it's rival. It does not seem likely that man would leave the engagement of his passage to the United States until he ac- tually reached Japan. but whether he did or not he could hardly time his trip so as to avoid delay of at least week more in the latter country. Two letters for London were recently posted at Wei IIai-Wei, one going eastward and the oth- CT westward The former reached It's destination in twenty-nine days and the other in twenty-eight. Under what were probably exceptionally favorable circum- stances the globe was spanned in fifty seven days Hence. for the first attempt at a through schedule the railway guide edi- tor just mentioned thinks that at least sixty days should be allowed-a period mot unreasonably long.
 Steamships. like railways, make most of their money out of their freight traffic. As rule. the passenger business is a sec ondary matter. Transportation companies which carry mail matter are obliged to sustain relations with governments which can do something to promote frequency
