Could any one imagine a more di-
verse group of women than these?
Catherine of Siena, the saint and
mystic of the fourteenth century;
Marie Blanchard, the daring French
aeronaut who fell to her death in
her own balloon; and Ada Ellen Bay
ly, better known as Edna Lyle, the
popular writer dear to the heart of
sentimental school girls.
Catherine of Siena is one of the few
saints whose birthday Is recorded,
for it is the day of a saints death,
not his birthday, which is held in
remembrance. But Catherine in many
ways is very unusual saint. There
have been at least fifty lives written
about her, in as many as seven differ
ent languages. and through them all,
in spite of much that seems legendary
and much that makes Catherine seem
unreal and fanatical, there is a real,
very loveable woman. She was the
daughter of a poor, uneducated dyer
of Siena, and she herself did not learn
to read until she was well grown. AT
sixteen she retired to convent as
the first sister enrolled by st. Dominic

Superiority of American Cloth.
From the American Wool aud Cotton
Reporter.
A strong confirmation of our posi-
ton relative to the comparative worth
of foreign and domestic fabrics IS
furnished by the report of James A.
Crabtree, official adjuster for the
American Association OF Wooden and
Worsted Manufacturers, in the Phila-
delphia market. Samples of serges
made here and abroad, selling at the
same price, seventy and one
half cents, of the same weight, eight
to nine ounces, were tested, the for
eign fabric showing a breaking
strength of but thirteen pounds,
while the domestic product, under
precisely similar conditions, broke at
thirty three pounds, showing a tensile
strength practically two and one-half
time that of the competing fabric.
1t is not in the matter of strength
alone that the superiority of the
domestic fabric is evidenced but also
in the comparative freedom from i'm
projections of various kinds. An in
stance of this nature is reported by
the same examiner. A foreign poI'lin
only twenty-seven yards in length
contained ninety-siX defects, and in
addition slipped on the warp SO badly
as to render it totally unfit fol the

power from the waters of the canal
One of these planes is situated in the q
heart of this city. The advantage Of
these planes is shown by the fact that
twelve of them in the eastern division
of the canal raise the boats $50 feet. !
while seventeen locks raise them but
10 feet. ~
The first boats passed through the
canal during the summer of 1881, and
according to the Mauch Chunk Cou-'i
rier of August of that year, they car
ried Lehigh coal from Mauch Chunk
to New York City. For a time the
amount of commerce that passed
through the canal was large. By 1887
400 boats, each with a capacity of
twenty live tons, We're traVersing the
waterway, and even this number was
regarded as insufficient. The Lehigh
Coal Company was transporting 10000
tons annually. With the other indus
tries which used this means of get
ting their products to market, the
canal was taxed to it's capacity
Financially, it is said that the pro-
ject was never a success, and that
when powerful coal interests managed
by manipulation to divert freight to
another route its revenue decreased
until it reached its present level. oSs
BY the terms of the charter the
State has a right to buy the canal
property in 1923. The valuation to
be fixed by a commission. If this Il
not done the charter continues until
1878. when it automatically reverts to
the State.

Art Treasures Travel westward.

Art Treasures Travel Westward.
From the New York Mail.
William Caxton, who introduced the
art of printing into England, sand VINO
printed many books which are beau
tiful according to any good standard
of printing, died in 1491, before Amer
lea was discovered. He bestowed
printing upon England, as Cadmus Is
tabled to have bestowed letters upon
Greece.
Yet America, undreamed of by
Caxton, Is today the possessor OF the
majority of the eXtant books when
fhis man printed. j. P. Morgan had
gathered fifty of the volumes into
his collection; and Mr.. Huntington
purchase of the twenty-five CaXtons
belonging to the Duke of Devonshire,
together with stray copies owned
elsew where, brings up the total in TINS
country to number higher tfan that
possessed in Britain.
Sooner or later" says The London
Standard, "Englishmen Will have TO
cross the Atlantic IL they wish to see
the finest works of art and the rarest
remains of antiquity" Why should
II not be so, if American collectors
unite with the longest purses the dis
elimination which leads them to pur-
chase the rarest and most beautiful
objects?
The English possessors of the treas
ures or art and craftsmanship say that
the burdens of taxation imposed by
democratic legislation are taxing
these treasures out of the country
There may be some truth in this-but
the remedy is public purchase of the
treasures in question, or else deVel-
opment of such liberality on the part
of men of great wealth as that which
in this country is enriching our mu-
seums with famous pictures and our
public Libraries with priceless vol
