WALKING A LOST ART.
Most HeaIthful Exercise Has Lost
Favor With People.


Pittsburg Gazette.-As the result
of one of Cleveland's typical traction
tangles, threatening a tie-up of sew
eral important lines, it is predicted
that thousands of persons will be
compelled to walk to and from their
work" Such a state of affairs is re-
garded almost in the light of calam.
ity. There Is evidently much truth
In the assertion which places self
locomotion among the lost arts. Tn
til the coming of the electric car and
the invention of the bicycle, Shank s
mare was among the popular modes
of conveyance. Then the automo-
bile still further reduced the ranks
our grandparents walking parties
were all the rage. A company of
young people thought nothing of a
five-mile stroll into the country, stop
for refreshments and another five
mile walk back home. Today such
healthful means of recreation would
be voted slow" in some quarters and
low" In others. Those who cannot
afford automobiles for themselves
have friends more fortunate of whose
kindness they can take advantage.
Rides on swiftly moving open trolley
cars are scarcely less enjoyable on
summer evenings. Walking for health
or pleasure is practically unknown
Many a business man takes a car to
ride one or two blocks.
The London lancet once declared
it would be fortunate thing for the
public health If all the cabs and ON
nibuses in me metropolis were forced
to stop running for three months.
In that time, the editor figured, thou
sands of persons would regain the
powers of locomotion with which na-
ture had endowed them and learn to
depend less on 4orse-driven vehicles.
Clevelands experience might have a
like happy ending if the people were
only given chance; but such is the
popular antipathy toward the pedes-
trianism that the cobwebs will not
be allowed to gather on the trolley
wheels for long.

Germany,s New Canal.

The greatest recent canal project
in Germany is the Telton canal, near
Berlin. The immense river traffic on
the Havel and the Spree has been
much hampered by being Obliged to
follow these streams through the city.
The Telton canal permits this traffic
to be diverted.
The canal is only twenty-three miles
long and there is a saving in dis
lance of only twenty miles in the main
river route. But the gain is in the
time formerly necessary to get through
the city. The total expense of con-
struction. including buildings. har-
bors and electric works, was about
$11.50O. 900
The channel, says the World Today,
is 20 metres broad at the bottom and
from 2 to $50 metres deep, with
towpath 2 metres broad.
There is only one lock with fall
Of water of 2.7 metres In its con-
struction the latest and most improved
system has been employed. It's
gates, etc, are worked by electricity
supplied by the canals own electric
works. TIE towing also being mainly
done by electric locomotives. Fifty
fiy bridges had to be built. but the
expenditure is fully justified by the
enormous traffic through Berlin,
which amounted 70 1895 to nearly
1000 coo tons.

The attention of the bureau OF

to this new branch of industry 1t
made inquiries of the consuls in Sax
ony regarding it, and Consul Hurst
made an interesting report on the
subject.
He states that "xylolin." as The

Emil Claviez of Saxony after many

that the processes are patented in all
civilized countries.
