GROWS BLUE ROSE.

HIGH WYCOMBE, Eng.-The an
nouncement a few days ago that AL
fred Smith, rose specialist, of Down
ley, Bucks, had succeeded in raising
a blue rose has drawn letters of in
quiry and applications for the rose
from all parts of the world. The APP
plications are not only for specimen
blooms and buds, but also for trees.
Lady Coventry" the new blue
rose, is of exceptional quality and
color. It's production is the result of
| four or five years experimenting IT
| it cross between the well-known
Mile. Eugene Verdier" and several
other varieties. The rose, in open
ing, is vermilon, shaded and veined
with intense blue, which predomin-
ates and extends until the ruling
color is lovely blue. The blooms
are large and handsome and require
no special treatment, while the stock
is exceptionally hardy.
Mr.. Smith has had considerable ex-
perience as a grower and exhibitor,
having been awarded two medals at
the international exhibition in London
in 1892, and half a dozen medals at

Twelve Locks.
The canal viii possess twelve locks,
all in duplicate There will be three
pairs in fight at Gatun, with a com
bined lift Of 50 feet, one pair at Pedro
Miguel. with a lift OF 30 10 feet, and
two pairs at Mirahores, with a com.
bined lift Of 81 2-3 feet. Each lock
has disable length of 1000 feet, and
disable width Of 40 feet, and is a YER
liable chamber, with walls and floors
Of concrete and watertight gates at
each end
The side walls at the surface of the
floor will be about $50 feet wide, will
be perpendicular on the face, and will
narrow from point "A 1-3 feet above
the floor until they are feet wide at
the top. The middle walls will be 60
feet wide, about 81 feet high, and each
face will be perpendicular. This wall
at a point AZ 1-3 feet above the surface
of the floor and Is feet above the top
Of the middle culvert, will divide into
two parts, leaving a space down the
center shaped like the letter "U,"
which will be 10 feet wide at the bot
tom. In this center space, Al feet wide
at the top, will be a tunnel divided
into three stories, or galleries. The
lowest gallery will be for drainage,
the middle for the wires that will car
ry the electric current to operate the
gate and valve machinery which will
be installed in the center wall, and the
operators. The lock chambers will be
filled and emptied through culverts in
the floors, connecting with main cul-
yerts, flowing I'm and out by gravity.
The gates of the locks will be steel
structures 65 feet long, feet thick
and from AZ to 50 feet high, and will
weigh from 300 to 600 tons each. The
Canal will require a total of 90 leaves,
with a combined weight Of 81, 900
tons.
The locks will be provided with in
termediate gates, I'm order to save
water and time, If desired, in locking
small vessels through, these gates be
ing 80 constructed as to divide the
locks into chambers 600 and 400 feet
long, respectively. OF all the vessels
navigating the high seas 95 per cent
are less than 500 feet long.
IL Is estimated that approximately
100000 cubic yards Of concrete, re
curing about the same number OF
barrels Of cement, will be used in the
construction of the locks.

The Canal Zone embraces an area
of about 448 square miles. 1t begins

and more than 1850 years passed in re-
view before the spectators in two and a
half hours of kaleidoscope color. The
great celebration of Warwick is remem-
bered by all readers, as well as that at
old Chelsea. Naturally one would ex-
pect to find that the revival OF pageantry
had taken a stronger hold upon the Brit
ish than up the American mind. because
our history is so recent as to preclude
any external parades. But such is not
the case. Indeed America may be said
TO have set the pace for England.
The first great pageant on the Amer
lean continent was that given in Boston.
Mass, June and S, 1908, when the his
tory Of education was depicted in a most
remarkable series OF tableaux and pro-
cessions in which hundreds of perform
ers took part. The pictures of the diff
ferent epOchs in the history of the ad-
vance Of civilization were presented with
a briliancy OF color and accuracy of de-
tail which set a standard for the world.
Closely following this came the great
tercentenary celebration Of the founding
Of the city Of Quebec. The pageants took
place on the historic heights OF the city
where many Of the most stirring episodes
in the history Of the American continent
have taken place. Then Evanston, ILL.,
came forward with. a pageant of the
great middle west. Philadelphia told the
history OF American people in the pomp
and panolpy Of pageantry when its 225th
anniversary was celebrated with 5000 peo-
pie taking part. And last fall New York
celebrated the anniversary of Fulton and
Hudson In a similarly elaborate fashion
As sort or forerunner TO the popular
pageants of the day there was held in
Cornish. n. H.. in the sumner OF 1865 a
celebration which in point of artistic merit
perhaps eclipses anything of the kind
ever undertaken before or since in the
United States. 1t was a masque given
In honor Of the great sculptor. Augustus
Saint-Gaudens, in which some 20 promi-
nent artists took part. The masque was
given late one June evening in the grove
on the estate OF the sculptor. A sympho-
ny orchestra was hidden away behind a
pine thicket. Two giant pine trees
marked the limits of stage and served
TO hold the great green curtain in place.
The masque represented the determina-
ton of Jupiter TO resign as ruler of
Olympus and when he announced his in
tention TO the assembled lesser gods a
great golden bowl was presented to him

speak, for a number of years does not
mean that such celebrations are apt to
drop out of fashion again in the near
future. On the contrary, they seem to
have come to stay and no surer guaran-
tee of this can be found than the fact
that they have proved to be great BUSH
ness successes. No form of advertising
has been found so effective for cities as
great pageants. The people flock to the
celebrations from all parts of the coun-
try and the enactment of historical, edu-
cational or symbolic scenes is a matter
of nationwide comment, receiving the in
dorsement OF educators, civic benefactors
and clergy. In future no exposition will
be considered a success unless some vast
pageant is given to symbolic and typify
the event. The field for novelty. inven-
ton and artistic effects in pageants Is
unlimited, and the planning of such an
event Is a task worthy of the most in
Ventive mind and the most artistic per-
ception.

less than martial pageants depicting the

show Of outward affection, was probably
the most gorgeous event of the kind ever
