turtles. Projects for connecting the
Baltic and North seas by a water
route through the northern peninsula
which should avoid the dangerous
voyage around Jutland were consia-
cred spasmodically from 1900 on,
but 1t remained to the military neces-
stiles Of a great empire to bring
about the realization of this advan-
tageous waterway for trade. ANY
number of bashful beginnings OF thu
propected way were made before the
construction of the present canal was
undertaken by the first German en-
.peror. Kaiser Wilhelm laid the
Foundation stone OF the canal in SS7-
and the costly avenue was formerly
declared open by the present emperor
in 1896. The original canal has
been extensively improved.
The canal crosses the peninsula,
from HoltenauSjust beyond the north
ern suburbs of Kiel to Brunsbuettel
at the mouth Of the Elbe, at sea
level, the locks at either end merely
serving to neutralize the tides. 1t is
fifty miles long, with a depth of more
than thirty feet and width suft-
cient to pass the largest men-of-war.
A steamer takes between eight and
nine hours to pass through the canal.
thus bringing the advance German
naval base at Heligoland within easy
reach of the Kiel headquarters. The
whole way at night is lighted by
electricity. The first cost OF the
Baltic ship canal was $40. 100000.
Other millions have. been expended
in its Improvement. Regular steamer
excursion service was maintained here
before the war, but the voyage of
fered little OF interest besides steep
banks and here and there spiritless
scenery.

and navy yards are located at Kiel.

and the Imperial Naval Academy.

CARE OF THE BABY IN SUMMER


gradually cooled, and then made as
cold as possible by standing them In
"a pail of cracked ice. They may then
be packed in small portable refrig-
orator. Many types OF these have been
devised, and may be purchased. A
portable ice-box may be made at home
as follows:
Use two covered tin pals, one an
inch Or two smaller than the other, so
that 1t may stand inside the larger
pail. Fill the space between the two
with sawdust: put the bottles with
cracked ice in the inner pail and COW
er both tightly, and make canvas or
flannel cover for the whole.
To warm the bottle for the baby,
the mother should provide herself
with an enamelled ware pitcher hold
ing pint, which the porter will fill
with warm water from the dining car.
Set the bottle in it, after the water
has cooled little so that the sudden
heat will not be sufficient to break
the bottle.
The next most troublesome question
on long journey with baby Is how
to take care Of the diapers A .sepa-
rate bag or basket lined with rubber
sheeting should be provided for them.
and with them may be packed small
enamelled ware chamber.
For young baby number OF In
ner pads of soft paper or old cloth
which can be destroyed should be
provided. When ona Of these Is soil
ed. wrap it up tightly in newspaper
and throw it away. Wet diapers may
be tightly rolled and kept in the rub
Der bag.
The two most common mistakes
made in traveing with children are
with respect to their clothes and their
food. In the hot summer weather, for
a long journey, the little child should
be dressed only in the sleeveless
gauze shirt and diaper. with one thin
outer garment. A sleeveless, low
necked slip Of white china silk IL
best, since it is much cooler than cot
ton, sheds the dust and can be washed
out in the basin when sofled.
It is we'll to change the baby's cloth
ing as soon as the journey begins, in
order to have the regular outfit clean
to put on when leaving the train. The
little baby may go barefooted but an
older child should have barefoot san
dals to protect the feet from the Gin
ders scattered over the floor.
Mothers should observe the same
regular hours for feeding their chill
dren as at home One OF the worst
things she can do is to give the baby
cakes. candy, bananas. sweet crackers
and the like, as SO many mothers do,
to keep him quiet in the train. This
kind of irregular feeding, with unsIit-
able foods, together with the heat of
the train. and the fatiuge and excite
nlant OF travelling are very apt to up
set the baby and make him irritable
and restless.

an honest and sincere and unfatling
effort be taken to safeguard the lives
of the people by those whose duty is
plain? The lesson of the excursion
steaf,.er Slocum that burned a few
wears ago should have been an ever
lasting warning. The sinking of the
steamer Titanic should have been
warning. The Iroquois theater fire
should have been warning. But it
is APPARENT that the victims of these
disasters died in vain. Shiftless and
careless inspection, greedy and heed

lesson. From the reckless JOY rider
to the excursion company that hauls

The INDUSTRY.

! Some startling facts, coupled with
some good advice, have been laid De-
fore the federal trade commission IN
Its investigation into conditions In
the lumber industry.
The disadvantages under when
American lumbermen are now doln@
business embrace, first of ill, a dis
tinct element in favor of Canadian
tim berland owners in the matter OF
freight rates, it being shown that the
Canadians, by reason Of their strateS-
ical location, can send lumber into the
United States by the lake route IN
foreign bottoms and make delivery n
50 a thousand feet to cities like Mil
waukee, Chicago, Bay City. Detroit,
Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, Tonawanda
and New Pork, while the average cost
of transporting the same grades or
lumber by rail from Wisconsin or
Minnesota is from $3.50 to Sc a thous-
and, or about 200 per cent greater
tllan from Canada. In some instances
this advantage in freight rates IS
nearly 500 per cent in the Canadians
favor
In addition to this, labor in Canada
averages fully IS per cent cheaper
than in tie United states. To aggra-
waite the situation, Canada offers no. l.
ing i'll the way OF reciprocal relations,
having imposed duty of 321s per cent
Upon dressed lumber and 71s per cent
upon rough lumber, while the United
States has removed the duty. By
having removed the tariff on lumb sr
the markets of our 100,000,0o0 people
are thrown open FOR the benefit of the
9 ,000,0 600 Of Canada, thus infictins a
useIess loss upon this industry, the
Alacncan people. Is! the United
that the federal trade commission
would be warranted in recommending
to congress an ADEQUATE import duty
as q partial protection to the lumber
industry, to labor in general, and to
the many diversified interests that
depend for their prosperity upon the
lumber trade in this country.
