At exactly $50 clock an electric

Shriners visiting here from the United
States and the officers of the British
cruiser New Zealand, were rewarded by
wonderful sight.
Hundreds of tons Of mud and stone
were thrown high in the air; there they
hung suspended and then fell back, as
the thunderous roar of the explosion re
echoed in the nearby hills.
About 20 long tons or II 500 pounds
of - per cent dynamite constituted
the blast, which was one of the largest
ever set off in the canal.
The charges, which were planted in
oil holes at an average depth of &c
feet, tore a big gap in the barrier, but
not to a sufficient depth to permit the
water to flow through, as the sea level
channel was at low tide.
Equally as interesting as the explo

An especially large congregation for
this season of the year was present in
the Congregational church Sunday
morning % hear President Marion LEROY
Burton of Smith college, who occu-
pied the pulpit, The gifted speaker
gave remarkably foreeful sermon,
notable not only because of the depth
aud breadth of thought which it in
volved, but also by reason of the
excellent English commanded by the
speaker and the earnestness and eff
fcctiveness with which it was uttered.
The text chosen was Acts 20, 10:
''Wherefore, o King Agrippa, | was
not disobedent unto the heavenly Wis
sion - In that assertion of Paul, the
speaker said, is the secret of achieve
ment in any age. On his way to Dam
ascus Paul had vision, the nature of
which we may disagree about, but be
cause of that vision he lived from that
time forward a life of unusual achieve
meut Any man who is to achieve
must be open-minded, must know how
to glorifv his own task. He must have
great courage and in his courage must
ind = willingness to take n risk. There
is high value in hard work and dis
agreeable tasks, and in the last analy-
sis one 5 success is measured by the
difficulties which he overcomes.
To one s vision must be added cour-
age and to courage steadfastness if he
would achieve. Paul's vision created
in him fixed purpose to devote his
life to preaching Christ, and his cour-
ace and indomitable, resistless, perse-
| ycrancc set the seal of achievement
upon his life. He was not disobedient
unto the heavenly vision. Those three

In the course of discussion of
grade crossings and their dangers the
Greenfield correspondent of the Spring
field Republican mentions two that
Brattleboro people have frequent OPP
portunity to traverse. These are the
crossings at the south end of Bernard
ston village and at Mt. Hermon sta
ton. The latter is fully as bad as the
one at South Deerfeld where last
weeks double fatality occurred while
the Bernardston crossing is nearly as
dangerous. Considering the traffic over
both something should be done to
guard them.

the idea of 5o-cent fishing license
looks like a case of wiggIing about for
some means of meeting the expenses
of the state fish and game department,
and believes in cutting down expenses
rather than devising ways and means
of raising money. But why should the
Sitter care if the fishermen themselves
are willing to bear the cost of improv-
