The greatest attraction at Sault

the vessels from the level Of Lake
llaron to that OF Lake Superior.
Fifty years ago the first lock was
opened 1t was a small affair com
pared with the present canals. On
the American side two locks are in
operation. The larger Of these it
500 feet long, 100 feet wide. deep
enough to permit the passage OF
vessels drawing twenty-one feet of
water and big enough TO permit four
large vessels to pass through at once.
On the Canadian side there is also
lock. greater in length, but Of
less width. and of sufficient dimen-
sions TO allow three vessels to be
raised or lowered at once. All the
shipping from the upper to the
lower lakes must 90 through these
three locks. The commerce passing
through these canals is by far the
greatest in the world. In 1904 the
Suez canal passed approximately
l2,ooo,0oo tons of shipping, In the
same year the canals at Sault Ste.
Marie carried 31,546, l06 tons. Yet
all the business in the 800" must
be done in seven months, while tn

THE STURGEON.

Prolific One.

Sturgeon can trace IFS lineage
back TO the paleoniseide, which lived
a long time ago, before the de'o-
MAN rocks had hardened. Fossil
surgeons indistinguishable from

skeletons of the modern species
have been found. Bony plates cover
the surgeons head and ITS subcy-
lindrical body is armed with I'VE
rows of bony plates or bucklerS'
The snout is long and the mouth
has no teeth. About twenty-five
species in two genera are recognized,
all inhabiting the fresh waters ana
seas of the northern regions. Stur-
geons are very prolific, large ie-

animals and plants, which they suck
into their mouths. The common
sturgeon of the coasts and rivers
Of Europe and North America has
been known to weigh as high as
500 pounds.
The lake or rock sturgeon was
once very abundant IN the great
lakes and the Mississippi valley at
tanning Il weight of $50 pounds, al
though the average is much less. Its
sides are reddish. often with lrregu-
lar blaclish spots. The shovel nose
sturgeon, very common in western
and southern states, Is a pale Owe

On the Pacific coast the white stur-
geon attains a weight of from 800

Duke MAMMALIAN.
The Only Money He Ever Earned as 4
Musician.

The following amusing incident
j. related Of the Duke MaNimli'ah'
who was a great lover Of the zlther'
i. sinsularly plaintive instrument
and the national guitar OF the ter
man AIMS. During the summer ne
delighted in wandering over the
mountains in the garb of a common
hunter. armed with a rifle, and enc
either hung around his shoulders.
During one of these excursions he
sat down on the trunk of ire" ana

chain of hills. Concluding he was
alone. he reveled long in the sweet
sounds. When. however, he ceased
some peasants who had been hls
secret auditors drew near to HIM,
and one addressed the duke in the
cordial way of the country. as FOL
lows: Thou. indeed. canst play 1t
wonderfully; now come with us and
we will dance to thee in the inn
down there. We will pay for a.
much beer as thou canst drink.
"Thank you," replied the duke,
81 am not thirsty, but shall Ger
tainly 90 with YOU" which he dld,
and PLAYED for more than two hours
! in the inn down there"
The peasants and their lassleS
were in ecstasies while dancing To
the tunes of their new friend. With
the poetical feeling native to the
mountaineers of the Alps, they sane
jumped about and kept up a steady
demand for more Tunes. The duke
whose face bcamed with JOY, at
length became weary and prepared
to leave.
"Thou mayst 60" said one of the
peasants. "but not till thou has
PLAYED the new dance composed by
Duke Macmillan. 1t is the most eX
quisite piece of music | ever heard

In Michigan some years ago bill
was before the Legislature to restore
the death penalty for the crime Of
murder. Three of the ablest mem
bers of the house made long
speeches in favor of the bill-so
long as to be found wearisome, es-
pecially by those who disagreed with
the opinions expressed. When the
third man had finished a young
member on the other side of the
chamber rose and said very sarcas-
tically:
"N1r. Speaker, l rise to a question
of privilege"
''The gentleman will state his
question of privilege" said the
speaker.
"Mr. Speaker, | wish to inquire of
our friends of the other side of the
house which they think is preferable
to be hanged or to be talked to
death ?"
The question was greeted by APP
plause. Then suddenly some one
with very loud voice said:
"Oh, well, if you're going to talk
we prefer to be hanged"

glad to find rest at hotel he very

as follows:

His favorite waiter sided up to
him as he was studying the notice.

IN A gEtR'S CLUTCH.
The Prostrs~ at Was Not as Dead
80 he Seemed.

In Russia it is the practice to
hunt bears just as they are creeping
out after their long sleep. " things
are managed the most timld indi-
vidual may 90 bear hunting with
perfect IMMUNITY. Armed with a
good rife. accompanied by friend
and guide similarly equipped, the
most Impractical hand can usually
get his quarry before the half
awake creature has proceeded far
from his lair. And yet occasionally
the unforeseen occurs. as 1t did IN
an adventure related by Mr.. Viii
shaw in "Out OF Doors In Car
land"
The baron and the colonel had
purchased rights over alternating
bear. declared to be one of the
largest ever seen. When the ami
NAL was fairly dislodged from his
place of concealment the baron, who
had secured the first shot, fired, and
the enormous creature fell PROSTATE
and motionless.
The baron was jubilant. Hand
ing his rifle to the keeper, he seated
himself on a fallen tree.
Its a magnificent specimen,
said the colonel. "WOuldn't it be
awkward if it should get up
Get up" exclaimed the baron
"He's as dead as Caesar. Look!
And going up to the PROSTATE crea'
ture he gave it kick with his
heavy shooting boot. To his horror
the bear roared and rose to its full
height. With blood pouring out Of
its mouth it fell bodily on the baron
forcing him to his back and pitching
on top of him. The colonel tool
one step toward his rifle, but the
movement caused the bear to place
one huge paw on the baron's ches
and to fix its wicked eyes on thu
colonel.
"For PHYS sake, don't move!'
said the baron. ''lf you do he'll
murder me. Let him fix his atten
ton on you. He suspects you anC
won't move if you don't"
The moments seemed intermina
BILE At last the keeper managed t,
edge near enough to receive tn,
baron's whispered instructions.
"Creep up behind the colonel,
gasped the poor man, 'take his riff
and shoot the bear behind its shout

Luckily the keeper was an excel
lent marksman and shot the bea
through the heart. The creatur
loosed its hold, shivered and role,
off the half stihed baron.
