DENMARK.
Copenhagen.

Business conditions in Denmark are
a great deal healthier than In Swe.
den and Norway at present The com
ing summer will witness much activi-
ty in the building OF new railway
lines, both private and national. and
will thus give hundreds Of idle men
an opportunity to secure work. Ac-
cording to latest reports there will be
not less than forty new lines of rail-
way built during the summer and they
are all backed by solid capital The
principal line to be built, is, we un-
derstand the national line staked out
from Copenhagen to Kjoge.
There are not less than fifty-three
agricultural papers published in Den
mark at present, which is, compare
lively speaking, the greatest number
published in any country in the world.
Sweden has forty-one agricultural pub
lications and Norway has nineteen.
The Copenhagen STREET railway did
an excellent business last year The
net profits were $541, $50 and the stock,
holders were paid dividend of 6 per
cent It is an excellent showing and
naturally the stockholders are all
pleased.
Denmark is about due for a cabinet
crisis. The present political situate
bears all the earmarks which would
lead one to make such a prediction
and the rumors to this effect will not
easily down.

system of water tubes, linking the Med

in pairs parallel at inclines correspond

with open water levels at convenient
intervals. Water derived from tha
mountain streams and lakes will be
used to fill the tubes, while gates SIT

upper end Of one of the tubes passes
down the incline to the lower end as
the water level falls, and at the same
time this water, let into the twin tube
may lift another boat from the lower
end of the incline to the higher. The
