Moved tho Sea to a City.-Though 1t
is IS years ago since the Manchester
ship canal was inaugurated, few people
beyond the radius of Lancashire realize
the Importance Of this great inland
waterway, that carries ocean-going
ships into the heart of one Of our larg-
est cities.
The ship canal Is a trifle more than
thirty-five miles in length, and has a
depth of twenty-six feet, whilst it is
300 feet in width, or as wide as the
Suez. In places the canal is sixty feet
above sea level, and it cost consider
ably more than $75,OO0,000 to build.
In cities like Bristol, Ipswich or
Chatham, approached as they are by
tidal waterways, one expects to find
ships, but hardly in a city more than
forty miles from the open sea.
The biggest canal in existence is
that connecting Pekin and Canton in
China, 1000 miles in length. The Suez
canal Is ninety nine miles long, the
Caledonian sixty miles, and in Great
Britain and Ireland the inland water
ways total no fewer than 1907 miles,
more than 5000 Of which are in Eng
land.-London Answers.

the news would come. At $50 o'clock
