New York's Barge Canal.

New YOrk's barge canal promises to

the traffic to and from rail to water
routes. This is significant as to- what
Is likely to follow the opening of the
barge canal and operation at full ca

established between railroad and

ing hostility has been exploded, de-
clares the Troy Times. Each can make
use of. the other In developing traffic
that will represent valuable service to
the public, and the outcome will be ex-
pansion of freight-carrying facilities
to meet the requirements Of a country
in which industrial progress, great as

II n the East, the eyes of Europe
have been centercd on Bagdad.
Fog rlyself, the big event recalls
srlall personal experience, a
visit l raid some years ago to the
city Of tie Caliphs, via Damascus and
Palmyra, says u writer In the London
Graphic. Except for the caravans that
malt there on their way to Bagdad,
Palmyra has but few visitors. The
Journey there entails many difficulties
and dangers; but we were anxious to
see this city, noble in situation, in
wealth, in sunshine and pleasant wa
ters," as Pliny calls it. and, having
made all necessary arrangements for a
camp and escort of soldiers, we start
ed e1rly one morning from Damascus
by the road which Is still called the
Zenobian Way.
Palmyra, or "Tadmor in the Wilder
ness" was built by Solomon, as we
read in the Book of Kings, and there
can be little doubt that the ruins now
before us occupy the site, as they bear
the name of the city founded by the
great King Of Israel. But it is to a
wOman-Zenobia, the Queen of the
East-that Palmyra owes it's high po-
sition In the annals Of antiquity. The
virtue, the wisdom, and the heroic spir-
