bulletin of the Atlantic Deeper Wa
terways Association.)
1t was a curious dispatch a few
days ago that told of the NARROWING of
a steamboat in the Everglades for
more than a week before the occu-
pants managed to get out to deeper
water and down to civilization. 1t
appears that the steamer was conSid
erably below the middle of Lake Okee-
chobee, and got into shallow place
where the level of the water had been
lowered by the drainage canals and
a strong wind had blown the remain
ing water off into the other end of
the lake, SO that our travellers were
left high and dry, like the Israelites
at the Red Sea. Without knowing
the whole facts of the case, it would
appear that the State canals are bring
ing about the result for which they
were constructed, and are gradually
removing the superfuous water from
large area of that wonderfully rich
soil within the circular rock-rim- of
the Everglades.

In a conspicuous place in the study of
the Kaiser's new palace in Potsdam is a
genealogical tree showing on his mothers
side direct descent from King David.
According to the tree the reigning
house of Great Britain is descended from
David, through the eldest daughter of
Zedekiah, who fled to Ireland in charge
of the prophet jeremiah and eventually
married Heremon, King of Ulster.
Well, well! Wish we had known of this
before. Might have saved lot OF
trouble
But even at this late day, why not refer
the whole matter of the trouble in Ulster
to Emperor william?
1t has been said that "the Celt and the
Saxon get along very well after a few
