Back to the Canals.

The renewed use of the old Della
ware and Raritan canal between New
York and Philadelphia gives further
evidence Of the growing conviction
that canals are needed to cope with
increase of traffic Notwithstanding
all that railroads have done. Many
years have passed since the canal
carried barges for commercial pur.
poses. 1t was neglected for railroad
transportation. But last week it came
into its cwn again, with the starting
of regular power.barge freight ser
vice between the two cities. Four
barges, having an average capacity
of 125 tons, have begun the work and
more will be added This reversion
to canal service is a sign of the
times. pointing to the reclamation of
waste waterways, the construction OF
new ones, and ultimately the crea
tion Of real canal system.
The Erie and New York project
the waterway from the Mersey to
I Manchester, and the canali2ation OF
the Rhone to Marseilles are exam
pies of the new work in several coun
tries: and both Germany and France
in recent years have done a great
deal for the restoration and improve
| ment of abandoned canals. There is
| a general movement toward the
utilization and extension of system
of communication and transportation
that dates from the days of ancien
Egypt, India and China, In the las
Of these countries the Grand, or I'm
perial, canal survives as a monumen
of antiquity. But the going back t
canals does not mean the giving nj
of any gain of modern times. II meant
a wise coordination OF the old method
and the new for a widening of the roa,
of progress. -Boston Herald.
