The establishment of through line
OF steamers between st. Louis and New
Orleans is only one of many tokens Of a
revival OF waterway transportation In
this country, and serves to call atten'
ton to the many ship canal projects
under consideration at the present
time Twenty years ago river and
canal navigation were pronounced
dead. 1t was said that the steamboat
had seen its day; that the canal boat
had gone to join the stage coach, and
that the railroad had superseded all
other methods and means Of transpor-
tatlon and traffic. To-day the govern
ment OF the United States Is engaged
in the construction of an interoceanic
canal. The Erie Canal is to be deep
encd and wldened by the State Of New
York at an expense Of one hundred
million dollars. Canada Is talking about
connecting the upper lakes with the
ocean by locking and canaling the OF
tawa River, while our own Congress is
investigating the feasibility of con
structing a deep water canal between
the great lakes and the Mississippi
River. 1t would appear, therefore, that
water transportation, In this country at
least, Is still In its infancy, 1t Is claim.
ed by the advocates Of inter-waterway
enterprlses--and they present strong
arguments--that canals are well worth
their cost in protecting the publiC
against extortionate freight rates. A
any rate the country Is likely to wit
ness In the near future remarkable
renaissance Of canal building and cana
traffic.

FOOD OF MADAGASCAR.
Pith of Tree Compounded Into
Edible

Pith of a Tree Compounded Into an
Edible
According to the report of NJ. R. Gal
lerand, a French scientist, the Saka-
laves Of Madagascar use the pith of a
certain palm tree as an article of food,
says the Scientific American. The tree
is found in the AmbOngo region, and is
known as the satranabe. According
to Pernlr, 1t is the mcdemla nobills,
nearly related to the hypahene. In
that region the sataranabe covers vast
spaces either along the sea coast or
bordering the rivers. After cutting
down the tree the natives take out the
plth, which runs from four to ten
pounds per tree, then dry, powder and
slft it, thus forming a kind of -four.
Some of this flour was sent to Mar
seilles to be analyzed at the Industrial
labOra tory.
1t is fine yellow powder, and when
fresh has a somewhat sweetsh taste,
which it had lost, however, upon ar
rivlng, and its solution did not act
upon beam Of polarzed light. When
shaken up with water the flour swells
up and light yellow liquid is obtained
which has the odor Of beer. About II
per cent of the matter is dissolved.
When fresh the product contains 1873
per cent of water. After drying, to
expel all the water, 1t analyses as fol-
lows: Starch 66.S33 per cent; cellu-
lose, 12939; albuminoid matter, 1O,53S;
fatty matter, 1O37; mineral salts, So
per cent. Among the salts are sui
phate Of potash, chloride of sodium,
phosphate of lime, magnesia, oxide of
iron; silica is also found.
What is to be remarked principally
about this product Is the relatively
large proportion of albuminoid matter
1t contains. In this respect 1t ranks
ahead Of the potato, manioc and sweet
potato, seeing that the latter contain
G.23, $50 and 3.3S per cent of nitrogen
substances

1t would have been better II George
Meredith's short-term marriage propo-
sltion had been received with that ST.
lence which scheme so repugnant to
all that Is finest best and holiest In
humanity merits. For no matter what
may be Mr. Meredith's place in the
world Of letters, he has not shown him
self competent to deal with problems
affecting the most sacred and most mo-
mentous relation that can be entered
into by man and woman.
We are not disposed to take the En-
glish writer seriously. There is a sus-
plcion that his belief that the plan sug-
gested would "cause a devil Of an up
roar let's us into the real motive actu-
ating him In giving his unlovely
scheme to the public. A little free and
exceedingly vulgar advertising may
please him better than the solving Of
complex social problems. We do not
propose to enter into any argument
with Mr.. Meredith. Judge Kersten, of
Chicago, has said about all that needs
saying In the significant sentences:
George Meredith must be insane; the
few who would entertain his PROPOSE
ton would be better satisfied with one
year marriages or shorter period"
For the rest we are content to leave
Mr.. Meredith and his repulsive remedy
for unhappy marriages TO the thou
sands OF husbands and wives who are
travelling through life hand In hand,
sharing together cheerfully the bur
dens and the joys Of home making;
to the fathers and mothers who are
rearing as best they know how our fu-
ture citizens; to the boys and the girls
growing up with that sublime love for
parents which strengthens and In
ereases in tenderness as the tOttering
steps of father and mother draw near
to the end OF their earthly journey.
For after all is said about this matter
we face this question: What of the
boy and the girl2 Would FIVE or ten
year marriage satisfy the love Of the
child for father and mother? Would
| II compass the demands Of that divine
mother love, than which there is moth
ing fner2 Would It meet the longing
Of every human heart for home? To
these heart-touching and all-lmportant
questions there comes a mighty NO
echoed from Eden and reaching the
last man and woman on earth who
shall plight their troth and say It'll
death do us part"

Chance for Woman Inventor.

"Now that the preserving season is
here" said the busy woman, II am
reminded Of something that for long
time | have been meaning to invent
and patent. 1t is to be called the
Never Burn Cooking Spoon. OF course
no home will be complete without it.
This Is the design; a broad, deep
bowl set at right angles to the ad-
joining upright handle, which will be
as long as a preserving kettle is deep,
and then, at right angles to this again,
a second length Of handle long enough
to permit the cook to stand away from
the steam and heat and yet stir the
contents of her kettle as frequently as
she wishes.
"The advantage Is that with this
double right angle handle the whole
bowl of the spoon, instead of Just the
point of it Is, sure to rest on the bot
tom of the kettle and hence the stir
ring has the desired effect of prevent
ing the dreaded catching on that is
bound to ruin the flavor of whatever
is being cooked.
II don't know why have never vet
had tlnsmith carry out my idea.
Some day | suppose some one else will
put such scheme on the market and
| shall be saying why didn't l do
that myself? f?'-New York Sun.
