Novel Opera plan.

Richard Strauss, the composer, has
suggested plan whereby German
cities of from 10000 to $4,000 inhab-
itants, in groups of three, might have
their own opera. BY pooling funds
they could afford to engage a first
class managing director at salary of
$12,500 year, who should be equipped
with sufficient funds to organize a per.
manent instrumental and singing or
ganization, to divide the period of nine
months, beginning in September and
ending in May, between the three cit
les. The remaining three months of
the year should be devoted to vaca-
tions and rehearsal of new pieces.
Such cooperative system would,
Strauss thinks, enable medium sized
communities all over Germany to hear
really first-class opera which they
could consider their own enterprise,
and would also offer new opportuni-
ties for aspirants, conductors and
singers.

TO DEEPEN THE SUEz CANAL
Plans for Egyptian Waterway Con-
template Uniform Depth of
Thirty-Nine Feet.

When the Suez canal was originally
made, for great part of It's 100 weary
miles nothing but mere furrow cut
through sandy desert, 1t had depth
of eight meters, or 26 English feet.
At various periods it has been
deepened, until it reached its present
depth of 80 feet Operations are
now in progress with a view of
making 1t uniformly SO feet
deep, a process which, with other
great works of improvement also go.
ing on, will involve a very large ex-
penditure. In one respect the Suez
canal has fortuitous advantage over
other great artificial waterways. such
as, for instance, the Panama canal
and the Manchester ship canal-it is
not affected by tides to any appreci.
able degree, and has therefore no need
of locks. There is not a single lock
between the almost tideless Mediter-
ranean and the Red sea, and the
waterway remains constantly at an
almost uniform depth. The 80 feet will
represent the minimum depth at low
tide at Suez.

Regardless of the internal strife and warning of nations in the European coun- tries, the peaceful and quiet business ot planting a shrub here. or adding one there placing tree or vine or a flower somewhere else, will continue in this country, and during these October days 1t Is we'll to remember that there is much that can be done in the way of preparation for such before our winter actually sets in.
 Out Door Flowers for Early Spring
 It is none too soon to set out peoniea, iris. tulips, narcissl. etc.. in order to in- sure a brave array of outdoor flowers for early spring.
 Next Summer Flowers
 In the way of deciduous shrubs for flow ering effects next summer. altheas. bar berries, deutzia, forsythla, hydrargea, spireas, viburnums, welgela. etc., should be planted now. They are rapidly bccom- ing dormant and if planted now mako new roots all through the winter, thus becoming well established by spring and able to stand the long hot months of next summer.
 Eyergreens
 All evergreens, both of the goniferous and broad leaved types. may be planted successfully throughout tine winter. bur best results are obtained by early fall planting. In fact. many of the large nur- series of the north recommend planting oonifers in August.
 Among the conifers the American and oriental arbor vitates. retlnosporas.
