A Curious Canal.

Between Worsley and st. Helens. In
the north Of England. Is the most re-
markable canal in the world. 1t Is
underground from end to end and is
sixteen miles long. In Lancashire the
coal mines are very extensive, half the
country being undermined. and many
years ago the Duke Of Bridgewaters
managers thought they could save
money by transporting the coal under
ground instead Of on the surface. The
canal was constructed and the mines
connected and drained ut the same
time. Ordinary canalboats are used.
but the power is furnished by men.
On the roof Of the tunnel arch are
crosspieces. and the men do the work
of propulsion by lying on their backs
on the coal and pushing with their feet
against the crosshars on the roof.
