Will Build Russian Canal.

The project for the construction and
equipment of a Volga-DOn canal, as
designed by the Russian minister of
ways and communications, has been
approved by the government. The pro-
jected canal will play an important
part in the economic development Of
southeastern Russia and of the Volga
and Don basins. Grain from Tsarit-
sin and timber and ore from the Urals
will thereby obtain direct outlet to
the ports of the Sea of Azof and
thence to the Black sea. Moreover,
the canal will make it possible to sup
ply coal to all the chief cities and in
dustrial centers of the Volga and sur
rounding country from the rich coal
district of the Donetz basin.

VALUABLE GIFT TO MUSEUM
Collection of Tomb Jades That Are
Known to Be More Than Twenty
Centuries Old.

A gift of distinction made to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art and
put on exhibition this month is a
collection of los tomb jades present.
ed by Samuel T. Peters. This fills
out similar presentation made by
Mr.. Peters to the museum about two
years ago. The later pieces are
much finer and the whole makes a
collection that probably cannot be
excelled. Not all of the collection
has been put on exhibition, but two
cases can be seen in the east end of
the gallery previously used for spe-
cial exhibitions and now devoted to
far eastern art.
These tomb jades date back to
about 200 years B. G. They are
not formed of the clear jade used
by the Chinese at later date, but
of the matrix and are in unusual
shades of browns. There are large
number of amulets which were
placed at the mouth, nostrils and
eyes of the dead to prevent the en-
trance of evil spirits. There is the
Pi, large round flat piece of jade
with a hole in the center, an emblem
Of heaven, a gift of honor: there are
"wands of dignity" and carved pieces
of jade, buckles possibly. A few Of
the pieces which had not been buried
date as far back as 1000 years B. G.

Planting Trees in Streets.

j. III. Reed says of street planting:
proceed with caution, but proceed.
It is too little appreciated that results
from or1lamental-tree planting, or its
neglect, are to continue Indefinitely.
In the generations to come tree-lov.-cs
will be praising the good taste end
good judgment of the planters snd
earetakers before them, or will be criti-
Ching the injudicious work, or the en-
tire absence of what should then have
been DONE"
