American Motor Boat ON Historic
Canals of Venice.

American Motor Boat on Historic
Canals of Venice.
The American motor boat has invad-
ed the romantic canals Of Venice, says
the New York Tribune. AS the gon-
dolier bends over his swinging oar he
hears every now and then the "chug
chug" Of a gasoline engine behind him
and the next moment beholds a wasp
ish craft dart past and on in the dis
lance The city Of Venice recently es-
tablished transportation system Of
it's own and is operating fifty or more
motor boats through the canals and Ia
goons, much as New York might op-
crate it's own street cars. Venice be-
lieves in municipal ownership.
To ride in the motor boats Of Venice,
however, costs the passenger consid-
erably less than the New York street
car. The fare is only cents. The
sprightly little vessels ply up and down
the Grand canal, which divides the city
like a huge S, and also the smaller
waterways which intersect it like SO
many veins and arteries. Their plain,
clean cut bulls, built only for speed
and strength, when cOntrasted with
the bright beaked gondolas, with their
black leather cushions and gayly col
Ored curtains fluttering from their win
dows, form as much Of an antithesis
as an American In business dress
placed alongside some knight OF the
middle ages bedecked In silks and
laces.
To the average inhabitant the motor
boat is far more welcome than the 9TH
er craft which the modern age Of In
vention has brought to Venice. Be-
cause of its low cut stern the motor
boat does not kick up waves against
the houses as does the steam or gasO.

REPORTING MoK,NLeY's DEATH
How the Associated Press Worked to Give
the World the News.

t..c ''OAAu tAso A$o"os
On the afternoon of September 8,
1901, worn out by long period of ex-
acting labor, set out for Philadelphia,
with the purpose of spending a few
days at Atlantic City. When l reached
the Broad street station in the Quaker
City, l was startled by number Of
policemen crying my name. / stepped
up to one, who pointed to a boy with an
urgent message for me. President Nc
Kinley had been shot at Buffalo, and
my presence was required at our Phil.
adelphia office at once A message had
been sent to me at Trenton, but my
train had left the station precisely two
minutes ahead Of its arrival. Handing
my baggage to hotel porter, jumped
into cab and dashed away to our
office. l remained there until dawn of
the following morning.
The opening pages of the story of the
assassination were badly written. and
l ordered a substitute prepared. An
inexperienced reporter stood beside
President Mckinley in the Music Hall
at Buffalo when Czolgosz fired the fatal
shot He seized neighboring tele-
phone and notified our Buffalo corre-
spondent, and then pulled out the
wires, in order to render the telephone
a wreck, so that it was a full half hour
before any additional details could be
secured.
ordered competent men and expert
telegraph operators from Washington,
Albany, New York and Boston to hurry
to Buffalo by the fastest trains. All
that night the Buffalo office was pour
ing forth hastily written, but faithful
and complete account of the tragedy,
and by daybreak a relief force was on
the ground. Day by day, through the
long vigil while the Presidents life
hung in the balance, each incident was
ruthfully and graphically reported. In
the closing hours of the great tragedy
false reports of the Presidents death
were circulated for the purpose of in.
nuencing the stock market, and. to
counteract them, Secretary Cortclyou
wrote frequent signed statements, CIV
ing the facts to the Associated Press.

ciated Press" in the Century.

Describing the making of the most
powerful gun in the world, Day Allen
Wiley says, in the Technical World
Magazine:
Technically this great 'peacemaker'
is called a sixteen-inch breech-loading
rife. 1t is, perhaps. unnecessary to
say that the sixteen inches refers to
the diameter of the bore, or the calibre.
In fact, this is so large that a man Of
ordinary size can crawl inside the muz-
Gle without difficulty. A better idea Of
the gun can be gained when it is stated
that the fOrgings for the tube and jack
ct weigh no less than 1874 tons. The
tube itself is forty-nine and half feet
in length, and. as the gun is Of the
built-up type favored by artillery off,
GERS of the present day. it is reinforced
at the base by the jacket, which was
shfunk into position. The tube is fur.
ther strengthened by four sets of hoops,
which really make it Of four thick
nesses of metal between the centre Of
the tube and the breach"

The Southern Cotton Association
has undertaken a novel experiment,
whose results may establish Eew
principles in economics. In its con-
vention at Asheville, North Carolina,
It resolved to fix minimum price
of eleven cents a pound for the new
crop, which it estimates at 9,5S8, 1873,
bales, or nearly Ave million bales
less than last years output. Here
tofore the price of cotton, like that
of other farm products, has been fix
ed by the frep play of the market.
If the Southern Cotton Association
can have its way, the rate will be
regulated hereafter, at least as to its
lower limit. by majority vote, con-
tinues Cclliers Weekly. The prices
of sugar, oil, and steel rails are fixed
by edict, and the cotton growers may
be able to accomplish the same thing.
II they succeed they will be essenti-

naturally lead to the formation Of
similar trusts among the wheat grow
ers, the corn raisers, and the hay
makers. Labor trusts are already in
successful operation. Thus the evils
Of monopoly may cure themselves
