The manufacture of brooms is one Of
the industries that has grown from
very small industry 10 n of suel
magnitude that IL covers all sections
Of this and many other countries. The
broom is one Of the necessaries that
every business mar and family is com.
PEELED 70 have, and for this reason il
must always remain an article of pop.
ular and general use among the civil
lied and other peoples who set any
value on cleanliness, saw Brooms,
Brushes and Handles.
IL is hard 70 say just when the first
broom was made; but no doubt il was
a bunglesome affair made Of twigs.
reeds or some other like material. and
tied 70 a rough stick with some Of the
same stuff Of which IL was a part. But
il served the purpose, and that was
something. at least, for decency's sake,
and the inventor deserves credit for
this much.
The growth and cultivation of the
hroomcorn industry has made possible
the manufacture Of brooms on a large
scale at a comparatively low price;
furnishing a very desirable material,
and, at the same time, giving employ
ment TO many thousands of hand an
nually. Machinery has done a consid-
cradle part in the Development of the
business as well, and has, at the same
time, made il possible to keep prices
moderate.
But of late there have arisen several
matters that have a rather threatening
aspect as regards the price Of this com.
modify, and something should be done
TO counteract these evils IL such thew
can be termed. In the first place. the
cost Of the broomcorn has increased so
that the profits Of the manufacturer,
particularly the small one. have selt
il keenly; then the price of handles has
increased, due, in great part, to the
scarcity Of timber suitable for such
purposes, and last. but not least, is the
increased cost Of labor itself.
Regarding the handle question, the
only possible relief seems to be in the
adoption Of some substitute that will
give the same satisfaction as the pres
ent handle. What this win or can be
must be studied out; perhaps aluminium
or something similar.
The broomcorn question seems about
as difficult as the other two, and il is
one of the all-important considerations
and must be met.
These are some of the considerations
must soon confront the broom
manufacturer; in fact, they already
have to an extent, and they can not be
met too soon, if we are TO have a good
broom on the market that can be sold
at a reasonable price and at the same
time net the manufacturer a fair profit

must have, and brooms they will

observer had a chance to see what par

WIDENING THE KEEL CANAL
Work to Cost $50 100000. Far More
Than It's Original Cost.


When the Kiel canal was inaugurated
in June 1898. with such imposing festi-
Whites. the coustructorsa imagined that
they had provided permanent highway
by which battiesh!ps and merchant ves-
| sells OF the greatest size could pass from
the North sea To the Baltic. The four
teen years that have passed since the
opening 81 the canal have shown how
shortsighted were the promoters as re-
garded the dimensions which they gave
| to tho canal They had then to deal with
vessels about 40 feet long and y feet in
breadth, and, believing that these rep
scented fnality as regards the size Of
ships, they gave to the locks a length Of
4s1 feet. a width Of 81 feet and a depth
Of 80 feet.
1t was soon seen that these calcutta
tons We're lamentafuly below tAe mark.
Great Britain Germany entered into a
keen rivalryin the matter of ocean liners
and the creation of strong navy, and
the progress OF invention aided shphulld
ers in the production of vessels OF ever
increasing tonnage. To take three typical
vessels; The Kaiser AuguSte Victoria
,Nord- Deutcher Lloyd has a length OF
12S feet and a breadth of rs feet the
Meuaretania ,Cunard company has q
length OF ~ fct and a breadth OF IS feet;
whilst the Baltic (White Star line) has q
length of - feet and a breadth OF a
| feet.
For vessels OF such size the Kiel
| canal lis useless, but an even more inn
portant consideration has influenced the
government In deciding upon the enlarge
ment of the waterway. The original OBJ
iect was to increase the efficiency OF the
Germany navy by providing 1t with the
| means of rapid transit from the Baltic
to the North sea but while armored
| cruisers of about 1900 tons car make
the passage for any vessel of superior
| tonnage the canal Is practically non-ex-
| istent. and the striking power of the
high sea fleet is proportion ately dimn-
ished
These ara the considerations when
have influenced the government I'm its
resolve to spend elloOo00 in widening
of the canal The original cost was 81
$50 600, and when the expenditure on up-
keep, etse., of the last fourteen years is
included. the canal. with its entansle-
ment. will thus have cost, in round fc-
ures, about &30,0Oo00o. Any army of
workmen is already engaged on bot hsides
OF the canal In the necessary preparative
work, The length is to be Increased
from 20 to 36 feet. and other measure
ments are raised In proportion The
passing places are to he increased from
eight to eleven, and four OF them will be
SO spacious as to accommodate an en-
tire squadron.
AT Brunsbuttel new quays will be made
for a distance of nearly two miles, caus-
ing in the demolition or nearly forty-two
houses, which have only recently been
/ erected. Three lofty bridges aye to be
built al Holtenau, Rensbure and near
! Taterpfahl, respectively. For the neces-
sary excavations Ilungarians, Italians,
Poles and other lahorers, to the number
of about 5000 are to be engaged. and
they will be housed along the canal in
temporary dwellings of the most modern
kind, which are now in process of erec-
ton.
