WATERWAYS OF TWO COUNTRIES

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
Waterway improvement in Canada
comes high, but it seems to be more
comprehensive and effective h most
of h so called improvement that we
have in the United States. The Toron-
to Mail and Empire says:
Upon its great waterway Canada
has already spent the huge sum of
500, 900, 900. The projected deepening of
h Weiland canal to 30 feet will cost,
according to estimates, nearly 50,000,-
go. Many millions will be spent in
canal at Sault Ste Marie. In the course
of creating a 30-foot waterway from
the e to the head of the lakes a
project pon which Canada is now
definitely entered. the St. Lawrence
canals will also be deepened and en-
larged, at a cost not yet estimated, but
which will inevitably be enormous.

financial burden will be carried as
easily as thu country has already car

lures, and the cost of other vast pub

The United States has spent al enor-
nous amount of money on it's rivers
and harbors, but for the most part it
has been spent in such a way that the
benefits are not appreciable. AS a
consequence the largest rivers in the
country are not %navigable all the year
around and steamboats, that are a
credit to the name almost have disap-
peared from their waters. The big
liners have quit business and their
place has been taken by local packets.

 The preservatiye, Mir Mansfield explains. consists of a prepared sub stance of adhesive character, the in eredients of which may be easily and cheaply obtained in any country The process of preservation .s very simple A flat vessel of about 100 quarts is filled to half it's capacity with the pre-. serving agent. into which the eggs are dipped for two minutes and then allowed to dry For the dipping process the eggs are placed in flat wire baskets. each with a capacity of 300 to 800 eggs One basket is dipped after another. and by employing a larger vessel several baskets may be dipped simultaneously In tbis man ner two or three persons can dip 100000 eggs per day
