er wishing to go TO Cologne. $50 miles
inland in Germany, may find his way
by sea-faring steamer. At Strasburg,
300 miles inland, where yesterday only
the smallest water craft could be
seen, today may be observed beats
carrying 800 to 1000 tons. The chan
mel CT the Main up to and beyond
Frankfort, the commercial metropolis
of Germany, has, at a cost Of $5,000,-
900, been deepened from two feet, un-
disable for shipping, to nine feet in
order to give the industries Of Frank
fort cheap transportation. Towns, sit
uated miles from navigable stream,
accomplish the same result by digging
and operating canals.
$4,000 Boats Used Inland.
Most Americans are somewhat IA.
miliar with the marvellous increase Of
the German merchant ocean ships. The
North German Lloyd, with its steam
ships on every sea, and other mer-
chant marine companies, have devel-
oped at phenomenal rate. Less con-
spicuous but equally great has been
the growth of the inland merchant
fleet of Germany, the shipping en-
ployed on its inland waterways. In
thirty years the tonnage Of the German
inland fleet has nearly or quite quad
rupled. Twenty years ago the ton
mage Of the inland fleet was so per
cent. larger than that of the ocean
fleet, now it is four times as large.
More than 10000 boats are employed
today on Germany's canals and rivers
with tonnage exceeding 100000.
Boats Large as Possible.
Germany has been quick to recog.
nize the economic value Of the large
vessel. The Imperators of the ocean
have their humber and less snowy.
but equally important, counterparts
on the inland waterways. Boats Of
100 tons and less have decreased In
number in the last ten years, while
large boats OF 800 tons and more have
increased in number ten fold. The
small boat or barge is being aban-
doned in Germany as out of date. The
present day boat Is built of the largest

professors were seen the advantages
of cheap and alternative transporta-
ton system, both for actual use and
fer the regulation Of freight rates.
What the professors saw they wrote
III the German press. AS a conse-
quence the empire has each year en-.
larged, extended and improved it's nat.
ural and artificial waterways. The riv-
ers OF Germany, Rhine, Weser, Eibe,
Oder, Weichgel, Isar, Main, and others,
are not naturally well adapted to use
for traffic Of a large kind In a major
ity of cases their banks were soft and
easily washed down by the waves
from large boats, while their beds
were uneven and shallow. The Ger
man problem, with the rivers, was to
deepen their beds and strengthen the
banks. The cheapest transportation is,
obviously, by means Of the largest
ship CT barge which can travel most
rapidly. Size and speed were sought
in the barges and a development of
the river and canals that would permit
economical and rapid navigation.
The Rhine, the best known river in
Germany-at which the French, it may
be noted in passing, yet look with
longing eyes-affords an example of
the changing conditions which make
for tomorrow's industrial world. The
ruined castles and the romantic seen
cry which have given to the Rhine it's
pre-eminence among rivers have now
rival in interest in the strings of
barges which the traveller sees as he
goes on the express steamer up or
down the river between Cologne and
Mayence. In order to make the Rhine
thus continuously disable natural
earthbanks have been, where neces-
sary, replaced by walls Of solid ma
sonry, the channel deepened and wild
ened, wharfs built, and at Bingen-
concerning which we all learned in
our schoolboy defamation days -
rocks dangerous to navigation have
been blasted away.
Inland Cities Reached by Water.
What has been done for and with
the Rhine has been done for and with
other rivers. Even the shallowest
streams, mere bitches, have been
made into thoroughfares. Next to
aerial navigation for military pur-
poses, the German finds keen inter-
est akin to sport in the business utili-
cation of the waterways. From Am

impressed by the businesslike use of
the waterways. Hundreds of barges
carrying thousands of tons Of freight

the canalized rivers and artincially
constructed canals.

miles inward, she has brought them
raw material by water at cheapest
rates and shipped the finished pro-
ducts, made in Germany" to compete
in the worlds markets successfully
with the products of nations where
original conditions are far more favor
able. This has been done by putting
all the German rivers to work. While
Great Britain. with the Oldest and, at
one time, the best system of water
ways in Europe, and the United
States, with water-courses uneQualed
among great nations, have permitted
these waterways to fall into disuse,
the young giant of Northern Europe

over, to add to her difficulty, though all the companF claimed to know the old drama backward, no one seemed to have an idea of the lines she, as Lady Isabel, would have to speak.
 "Oh. thatn be all right" said John Mccullough, the manager, to whom she appealed Just you sob and look sorry, and 1t will go."
 So Miss Eytinge, rather than cause the loss of closing the theater, went on totally unprepared to act in an abso- lutely unfamiliar play.
 Tom Keene, the Archibald Carlisle, instructed her in the proper emotion from scene to scene. Now she's a jealous cat, a jealous cat" he would whisper. Now she's kitteny." Now she's sorry she was such a fool" "Now she wants her young Ones." Now she up and dies"
 The performance seemed to cause en- tire satisfaction to the audience, and Mccullough, as he generously handed over half the receipts to the heroine Of the hour, declared, Well, you may have had to yamp that part, but I've often seen 1t played with less soul"
 The story of an experience demand ing similar readiness of wit Is told of John Brougham, the early American comedian and playwright. On one oC- casiou, when his own clever burlesQue, "Pocahonas," had been billed and the house sold out in advance, the leading actress left without warning to take another position in Baltimore. The au- dience had assembled before her ab- sence was discovered by the manager and star. As 1t was that play or nOth- ing, Brougham, who was famed for his witty impromptu speeches, went before the curtain and suggested giving the piece without Pocahontas, He recalled the old story of the actor who played Hamlet so execrably that on the fol- lowing night the tragedy was given with that character omitted by request
 NOW, if Hamlet can be acted with out the hero," he remarked, "why not Pocahontas' without the heroineH Of course you are all aware of the fact that 'Pocahontas' is Q much greater play than Hamlet Even if you do not kuQw that, I do, and ought to, for I wrote 1t myself. Are you willing to fry ir?"

In "What Pearls Pearls Did" Pearls husband comes home Ill. She calls Dr. Cross and sends the maid for pills. Pearl leaves the empty box on the ta- ble. She'accidentally breaks her pearl necklace and puts the pearls into the box. Her husband feels worse. She telephones the doctor to call again. Hubby sees the box of supposed pills and swallows them. The doctor calls with two other doctors and upon ex- animation learns that the patient has various diseases. Pearl suddenly dis covers that he has swallowed her pearls, and upon explaining her hubby Is saved from being operated on.

"GO aheadw came the cries from the audience, who settled themselves back to see the result.
 The burIesquc proceeded as usual until the entrance music was played for PocahOntas; then, turning toward the audience, BrOugham, as Powhatan, sadly began: Ladies and gentlemen, that sweet strain is supposed to bring my daughter Pocahontas on the stage. You are already aware that she Is in the city of Baltimore, and the stern law of the land will not permit a Chris tan, much less a savage, to be in two places at once Thus does the law protect that most useful instrument, the alibi However, If Poky were here she would hasten to say WheTeupon the comedian gave her lines fin exact imitation of the missing actress, keep ing up the dialogue in two persons all through the play. The delighted pco- pie who were fortunate enough to be present declared that Brougham was avenged.
 G. P. HuntIey tells of an incident that took place at an east side theater in London. The gods" were bOoing the piece and throwing chunks of bread at the performers.
 At last the star came forward and said: "Now. look here, We're trying our best to amuse you. Throw bread, if you like; but" ha added as he stopped and picked up a chunk. "lhamk heaven I'm not too pgoul to eat it."
 The gods were vauquished.-Anna Bird Stewart in New York Tribune.
