CANAL LOCK DISPLACED.

The lock on a canal is usually
the most expensive part of the con-
struction requiring, as it does, deep
and heavy foundations protecting
side walls and constant supervision
and inspection to guard against leaks
after it had been opened. The use CT
the inclined plane is old and has oeeu
widely used both in this country and
abroad with success and satisfaction
The advantages of the inclined plane
are that heights may be overcome that
would be impracticable with single
locks. so that the whole drop may be-
constructed at a single point
fine example of this has recently
been installed at FoXton on the Grand
Junction canal in LieCstershire, Eng
land, where a single incline is made
to take place of twelve locks. The
other advantages are that boats may
be raised and lowered by an expendi-
ture of only about ten per cent OF the
water required for locks, and that
there is great saving in time of opera
ton In this instance a boat may be
put from one level to the next in IF
teen minutes. while one and a quarter
hours would be required with locks. and
three men are able to do the work
There are two basins at the incli re:
one at the top and the other at the
bottom, where every facility is pro-
vided for passing the boats from one
level to the other, and these are
twenty-five feet apart.
The cars Or cradles are run upon
the rails one of which is going up
while the other is going down. the
connection between them being mads
with wire cables The machinery
driving the cables and the drums OYER
which they pass are set upon solid
masonry at the head of the incline
The cradles are really large tanks
into which the boats are floated and
as both are filled the weight Of one
balances that of the other with a re-
suit that a minimum amount of power
is required to effect the movement.
Boats of fifty-three tons can be accom-.
modated and these can be handled at
the rate of from fourteen to sixteen an

Elizabeth shuddered. Does Herr

she asked, in a trembling voice
No, I have had no opportunity of
speaking to him about it."
No one of all this company seems

Fortunately not, thanks to our
prudence and silence" replied the doc
tor. ironically. Poor Herr Won Waldo
has scarcely survived the storm of
congratulations, as it is. Woe to him
if the occasion for congratulate ting him
upon his existence has been a double
one"
Lorenz the steward approached
the group, and offered Elizabeth a
little silver plate, upon which lay sew
eral rolls of paper. When the young
girl looked at him in surprise, he said,
respectfully: please be so kind as to
take a paper"
Elizabeth hesitated.

FORTUNES In GuNRuNNING

FORTUNE IN GUNRUNNING.
The cartridges seized recently at
Newcastle, Sunderland, and else
where constitute but a small proper
ion Of those made on the continent
o the order of the Russian revolution
Lries, and intended to be smuggIed
into Finland through England. So
long ago as last July the British
government issued an official warning
to shipowners and masters against the
practice, doubtless at the bidding of
the Russian intelligence department,
who are far better informed, because
more deeply concerned, in this matter
than we ourselves. But it is an open
secret that the warning fell upon deaf
ears.
And no wonder. The profits are
enormous ans the risks small. The
rifles, made mostly In Belgium, cost
30s apiece delivered in England, and
the revolutionary committees pay e5
for every one placed in their hands,
and in ike proportion for suitable am
munition.
South Finland is where practically
all the cases Of contraband arms and
ammunition are consigned to. It is an
| ideal smuggNr's country; the interior
| little more than huge labyrinth of
| lakes, morasses, breads, deep dykes,
and short, rapid streams called "fjar-
den"
The inhaJlLants are revolutionaries
| to a man, so that the gunrunners have
| practically the whole countryside at
their beck and call, to act as carriers
! or as spies On the movements Of the
| 'eneny"-that is to say, the cars
| soldiers and policemen
The principal risk lies in getting
! the cargoes landed, but in this con-
nection it must be remembered that

TO HELEN.

When you are very old, at dusk by
candle-light,
Talking beside the fire, the while
you spin your wool
Singing my verse, you'll say, as
something wonderful,
Thus Ronsard, long ago for love of
me did write.
Then not a serving maid, grown
drowsy with the night
And slumbering DER the task she
plies beneath your rule,
But startled at my name will quit
her spinning-stool,
To bless your name with praise the
years shall never blight.
l shall be in my grave. a disembodied
ghost,
Resting where myrtles bloom along
the shadowy coast;
You crouching DER the hearth will
be an aged crone,
Regretttng all the love you proudly
put away.
Wait for no morrow. All! believe me,
snatch today
The roses of life that shall soon be
gone
-Ronsard.
