Moved Sea to City.

Though it is eighteen years ago
since the Manchester Ship Canal was
inaugurated, few people beyond the
realms of this Lancashire realize the
Importance of this great inland wa
ter-way, that carries ocean-golng
ships into the heart of one OF our
largest cities.
The ship canal is trifle more than
35 miles in length and has q depth OF
2s feet, whilst it is 800 feet in width,
or as wide as the Suez. In places the
canal is so feet above the sea level,
and it cost considerably more than
75,OOO,O00 to build.
In cities like Bristol, Ipswich or
Chatham, approached, as they are'
by tidal waterways, one expects to
find ships, but hardly in city more
than forty miles from the open sea.
The biggest canal in Importance is
that connecting Peking and Canton,
in China, 1000 miles in length. The
Suez canal is 900 miles long, the
Caledonian 60 miles, and in Great
Britain and Ireland the inland wa
terways total no fewer than S,907
miles, more than 5000 OF which are
in London.

REAL TRILBY THIS.
New York Music Teachers "ShOwn"
by Hypnotist.

The eyes of 100 or so music teach
ers, singers and PHYSICIANS were de-
lighted yesterday by the sight OF a
good-looking young woman singing in
her sleep. She was sitting, singing
on the stage of Earl Hall at Colum-
bia University, where the New York
State Music Teachers Association is
having it's convention, and she was
singing because Charles Munter, who
has a prof" before his name, told
her to go to sleep and do it. Mr..
Munter says that the young woman,
who is Miss Marion H. Graham, can't
sing at all until he comes along every
now and then and hypnotizes her.
Most every one is critic of pull
chritude, but none of the reporters
present was a music critic, and so
while it's safe to say that Miss Gra-
ham is good looking, even while she
is asleep with her mouth open, there
must be silence as to her music. TO
the lay ear it sounded like regular
singing. And before this goes any
further it may be reassuring to state
that nowher in this piece will you
find any mention of a young woman
who sang so we'll while she was hyp-
Noticed by a foreign feller in a beard
in a book that our fathers named
small feet after her.
Miss Graham is secretary to Mr.
Munster, who has thought up chest
expanding deep-breath, compelling
health-giving garment in time, and
she says that she never has taken
any music lessons. Of course, like
most young women of. her age-she
is 22-she used to go around the
house singing about Mr.. Brown, or
rising from dreams of antique wood
en- buckets, but the result did not
drive the Graham canary to moult
from jealousy.
Last February Miss Graham went
to see a throat specialist, DR.. Frank
E. Miller, and had an operation per-
formed for an abscess. She happen
ed to say that it had always been
her ambition to be a singer, but now
she never could be. DR.. Miller tried
out her voice on his piano and then
said:
"Well, they'll have to hypnotize
you before you can ever sing"
That's easy" said Miss Graham,
lets try it."-New York Sun.

CAPTAIN ANDRESEN'S
ROMANTIC HONEYMOON
Adventures of the Sailor and His Bride, Ship
wrecked in the South Seas-Spent Two
Weeks on a Coral Island.

tiers and see great forests of wonder
full coral.
Natives provided the young couple
with a bridal hut built of thatched
cocoanut leaves and gave them the
finest turtle steak that could be had.
Just before they were about to
leave the native chief of the island
proposed a great feast, at which all
the natives from that and other coral
islands in the nearby group in the
South Seas were assembled. There
was wild pig, wild goat, sharks fins,
turtle steak, the breasts Of great wild
pigeons that are almost as large as
chickens and wild chickens.
But at last came the day when they
must leave. From their island they
sailed to Riotea, and from Riotea
reached Papeete, on the big island OF
Tahita, and took the steamer home.
They sailed from their honeymoon
isle in a little native sloop that had
been sent to them.

CHURCH STEEPLES.
And the Ancient Mountain Peak
Shrines of the Storm God.

There is a theory which finds the
spire of the New England meeting
house in the mountain peaks of Ara
bia.
Tracing back the process of evolu-
ton, we come first to London, where
the clean sweep of the great fire gave
Sir Christopher Wren his opportunity
to experiment in steeples, and then
Venice, where the campanile is shin
ing example Of a tower beside A
church, but separate from it, and then
to Alexandria, where the famous
lighthouse on the isle of Pharos con-
tributed to the religion of Mohammed
both the form and the name Of the
minaret, and then to the tower OF
Babel at Borsippa and the zikkurats
of the temples of Babylonia and As
syria. A zikkurat is huge quadran-
gular mass of brick, rising in dimln-
ishing stories-as a child places big
block on the floor and puts smaller
one on it and on that smaller still
and ascended by a winding .balus-
traded stair to shrine on top.
This, according to the theory, was
the ritual equivalent of mountain.
Into the fat lands between the IT,
girls and Euphrates came the ances-
tors of the Babylonians and Assyrians
out of the mountains of Arabia.
There they had worshipped the storm
god, who dwelt upon the heights
among the clouds, with whom they
communed like Moses, by climbing
up and making their offerings and
saying their prayers upon the sum-
nit. And because there were no
mountains in their new country they
erected beside every temple a little
mountain in the yard. Thus the
zikkurat, and then the minaret, and
then the campanile and then the
steeple of the parish church.-George
Hodges in Atlantic Magazine.

BaIdy and Keeper in Savage Battle

New York, July 9.-Baldy, the
Bronx Zoo chimpanzee, went to the
mat for fifteen minutes yesterday af-
ternoon with solar plexus blow CIV
en- to him by his keeper, Fred Engel-
holm, on whom he turned for the
first time in his life on the way from
his own quarters to the big cage in
which the chimpanzees and orang-
outangs sit at civilized feast once a
day with human visitors as specta-
tors. The chimpanzee was in no
condition to eat after his knockout
and perhaps he has seen the end OF
public banquets. 49,.
The motive for yesterdays attack
was a vicious memory, of which Bal
dy had not been suspected. Since
peaches came into market that fruit
has been served as desert. The sup
ply ran out at Saturdays dinner and
Badly received bananas instead. He
threw his plate to the floor and would
not touch the fruit.
It was his habit to wind his arms
around the keepers neck and hug
him closely on the way to the feast,
He seemed as affectionate as ever
when Engelholm called for him yes
terday. In the dark passage between
the small cage and the big one he
suddenly began to claw and bite En-
gelholm. AS the attack came as a
surprise Engelholm's throat, face and
coat were badly torn before there
was time to put up defense.
Engelholm says they had seventeen
unwitnessed rounds in the dark pas
sage before his fist struck the knock
out spot Baldy is seven, weighs sew
enty, hasn't an ounce of superfuous
fat and can bite as hard as he can
claw.
When the racket brought Keeper

nothing for him to do except help
carry the unconscious Badly back to
his own quarters, DR.. w. Reed Blair
patched E gelholm's wounds and
then xnassaE ed Badly back to consci-
o;<s,z,.sss. E,ngelholm said after the
fzns that Badly has been feeling
his cats and getting husky of late
and 1nat if he shows further signs

frou distinguished visitors to the Zoo
as lis fame has gone around the
worth. On one occasion President

NO EXCUSE FOR IDLENESS.
Hands" in Demand All Over the
Country.

The United States Steel Corpora
ton, crowded with orders, needs 81
900 men ard needs them so urgently
that it is not only advertising but
is sending out canvassers to look
for them. Other steel mills and all
kindred industries are in the same
plight. In the automobile, furniture
and other industries which center
in the neighborhood of Detroit the
shortage of workmen is keenly felt
From the free labor bureau of Cleve-
land comes the statement that the
demand for labor is so acute that not
an available workman can be al
lowed to leave the city. In the daily
papers of any considerable city the
Help Wanted" columns are swelled
far above their average space. Sales
men, clerks, book-keepers, chauffeurs,
and men for domestic service are
wanted by the hundreds.
Nor is this insitent demand con-
fined to those who possess some spe-
cial training or mechanical skill.
From the West comes stentorian
cry for $4,000 men to help with the
harvest. In every section new work
is in progress and the call for day
labor can be heard. From New York
there soon will be demand for 1O,-
900 unskilled workmen to help build
5000, 100000 Of rapid transit lines.
The supply already shortened by the
aqueduct and other big undertakings,
is likely to be far below the demand.
All this tells of satisfactory busi-
ness in every branch. With labor
employed all over the country and
at the good wages which must prevail
when demand exceeds supply, every
retail store, every traction line, ev-
cry place of recreation, will feel the
benefit.
Unless something unforeseen oc-
ours to breed lack of confidence,
the coming autumn promises to be
one of excellent business all around,
and one in which no able-bodied man
who really wants to work need lack
for a means of earning support for
himself and those dependent upon
him.-Wall Street Journal.

NAMING THE NEW PARTY.

What name will Roosevelts party

The anxious voter cries,
without a name that creature rare
We might not recognize.
It cannot be Republican,,
Nor yet Democracan, that's fiat;
Perhaps the Party of the Hat
Would be about it's size."

Sounds like the very thing;

Or else the Bingbangbing,

In one concise and compact phrase
Until it's members, full of praise,
Proclaim it as The Ring!
The Anti-Malefactor bluff
Suggests a fitting name;
The Bull Moose isn't big enough
(The Mastodon the same;)
The Oysterettes might fill the bill
In honor of his domicile,
Although this man of mighty will
Says oysters are not game.
"Ho, Ormsby!' Perkins! willy lads
Who ne'er advised me wrong,
What say you to the Teddytads
AS being odd and strong?
Or why not raise our clarion shout
Below the title Inandout?
There is the theme, without doubt,
To make campaign song.

Strangely Tongue Tied.

The police of western city tell a
singular story of the capture OF a
burglar there. During severely cold
weather the burglar went out alone
one night to make raid on a small
bank. His plan was to enter through
a window at the rear of the building
and to make his way through the Of
fees to the vault. An iron grating
protected the window.
The night was intensely cold and
the streets were like glass, heavy
snow having melted as it fell and
then frozen smooth and hard. While
the burglar was filing the first bar of
the grating his foot slipped, throwing
him forward violently against the
window.
AS luck would have it, the fall
jerked his mouth open, his tongue
was forced between his lips, and froze
instantly to the icy iron bars. All
Efforts to release himself were vain,
as nothing short of pulling his tongue
out by the roots would have effected
this, and he could not bring himself
to that. A watchman making his
round found him a half hour later
almost dead with cold.
The burglar is alive and safely
housed in jail, but his tongue was
never used again, being completely
and 'hopelessly paralyzed. =

abounds in each of the four acts.
the second and third of which have
city settings. The play is not mel

also permeated with humor, whole
