MADE IN c ERMANY.

German thrift and skill have brought to our markets many things of excel lence and made in Germany has had talismanic influence in promoting their ready sale. The last thing, how ever, to be made there, comes as a sur prise and that is a full fledged wide awake big temperance movement The land of Rhine wine and lager beer had been, it was supposed. joined to it's (spirituous) idols" But things are not always what they seem," and in Ger many total abstinence movement has been started and has achieved wonders. In a recent issue of the Christliche Welt of Marburg, the writer Otto de Serra, expresses himself most entflusiastical- ly as to the present results and future prospects of the temperance movement. Herr de Serra says that ''the number of those who are joining the total absti- hence ranks is constantly increasing from 1902 to 1905 the number has in- creased from SOOOO to 6O,OOo. However, these figures do not give an exact pie ture of the victorious march of the movement, since in addition to the tenn perance associations there are, a large number. of temperance people who do not belong to any organized society But the fact is that in Germany there is great improvement to-day compared to the old days; the temptation to drink particularly among the upper classes lis not so powerful and unchecked as a few years ago The same writer gives details of the extent and ramifi- cation of the movement telling of the cheering reports made at the Evangeli- cal-social Congress in Hanover and then of the big convention lasting four days of the German Grand lodge of more so. Here the attendance was very large and it was evident that the move ment had made great advances both among the people at large and the highly educated upper classes also. And lastly there was still another conven- tion-that held in Munster of the Ger man Union against the abuse of Alco- hol

THAT CANAL.

As has been remarked before, the reason why we are to have a lock canal at Panama is because we can have it built years sooner that way. and because lock canal is more easily defensible in case of war than sea level canal. The great hGllabaloo at the present time over the expense al- ready incurred in this project is, of course, mainly politics. Folks won't have chance to ride on the canal for some years yet, but when they do, if the lock plan is followed, they will en- ter it somewhere in Llmon Bay, and steam between shores that are mainly low-lying until they reach Bohio. There their vessel will be lifted by locks eiglty-five feet into the air, and they will find themselves entering a large inland lake, made by the damned Charges River, About it high hills will loom. After some twelve miles this lake will narrow to gorge, and the travel
 CT will enter deep cut, with walls looming high on either side, which will extend about eight miles. Then anoth- CT little lake and lock, and they will be dropped to the level of the Pacific ocean, to steam half a dozen more miles into the Bay of Panama.

when ninety of the principal citizens joined in giving to the Rev. A. F. OW- ems, colored minister of Mobile, a handsome gold watch and fob Among the men who made speeches on the oc- casion of the presentation was W. c. Fitts, former attorney general of AL oama and an alternate candidate for the United States Senate. MT. Owens is now the head of the theological de- partment of the Colored Baptist Uni versity at Selma. On presenting the watch, the Register reports, MT. Rich ard recounted the work of Dr. Owens as a humanitarian and philanthropist in the city, with especial reference to his good work in providing annual Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners for the poor of the county asylum and the inmates of the City hospital, through collections from the merchants of Mobile, for twenty-eight years. He also mentioned his good work during yellow fever visitations in this city in 1870 and 1S97" In the course of his speech acknowledging the gift MT. Ow- ems said that he thought there is too much ado about the negro problem" The problem was with the individual, and he considered the man his friend who helped him to solve the individual problem, whether he came from the North or South.

nraMhridres.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier;
 Why is it that this matter of deter mining what is necessary in this line allover the country Is left to the war de- partment of the government? There is, possibly, some good reason for this in some special cases in large seaport towns with large foreign trade and na- tional defenses, but for the war de- partmeht of the national government to come to New Haven, and decide that public necessity and convenience re- qures drawbridge over Mill river at Grand avenue, might be passed by as absurd if the issues Involved were not so serious, for If a bridge is built there, it may not be long before one might be called for at Humphrey, State and Orange streets, if some one with few hundred dollars worth of land thinks It's value would be appreciated by such large outlay, and perhaps ordered by some officer of the war department, who possibly was never in our city be- fore in his lifetime, But this thing Is being done all over the country, ex- pensive drawbridges being ordered and built at great expense, and must be maintained for all future time, increas- ing the dangers of public travel, espe- cially by steam roads.
 In many cases all the property bene- fited by this outlay was not worth half the first cost required, saying nothing about endless expense of maintenance of the draws. The benefits to the city as whole and the property owners above the Grand avenue bridge is not two per cent. of the cost and constant maintenance of the bridge
 The same might be said of some of the drawbridges built and maintained by the steam road In this state, and also, in connection with them, by the towns and cities for public travel. We hear much In these times of self-gov- ernment, as applied to local conditions and interests, and the encroachments of the national authority, and if there is any question that should be deeid- ed by those locally interested it is this one, and not by a stranger sent on from Washington, with no interest in the burdens of the taxpayers here. The large amountof freighting of coal, and many other kinds of goods by barges in tows, makes it possible to receive in this way as cheap or cheaper as by sail vessels, and in less quantities at one time. a large amountof most kinkds of heavy goods and if anything is now needed in such places as at Grand ave- nue, where the stream Is small and the advantages to be gained limited, a closed bridge a few feet above the wa- ter could be built at much less expense than a draw and ought to answer. But even this is not as imperatlvely need ed as many other things of pressing public necessity, and hope everything possible will be done to prevent an or der from the war department of this new burden on the taxpayers of this city. Issuing bonds does not in the end lessen the burden, and postooning till 1908 only puts off the evil day. What may be best in the future can bide its proper time.

One of the greatest developments of electric power in the world is likely to take place at the Victoria Falls of the Zambesi River, in South Africa No large industries are in operation near that cataract, and there is no prospect that an important industrial center will be created within hundred miles at date interesting to capital But the falls are so high that immense poW- CT can be developed with a compara- lively small flow of water, and the dry climate and freedom from ice and snow make conditions in South Africa ex
 tremely favorable for the transmission of power long distances. It is proposed to supply all the power needed to op- crate the machinery in the Witwaters- rand gold fields of the Transvaal, and experts believe the extraordinary dis tance intervening will not prevent the realizing of large profits.

 The most extensive irrigation works in the world are in India. There an area equal to more than the entire sur face of the State of Maine is supplied with water from rlvsrs which are con- troled by artificial means. This takes no account of the land irrigated by pri- vate enterprise or from tanks. The value of the crops raised on land irri- gated by the government is about $1S5,- O0O, 900 yearly. It is believed that if all the tanks and other small local sources of irrigation were taken into reckoning the area watered would be nearly as great as that of the British Isles-say a region not far from three times as ex- tensive as Ohio.
