Lake Erie with Lake Ontario.
 The Panama Canal, completed in 1915.
 The Cape Cod Canal. completed in 1914.
 There are hundreds of miles of canals in all countries many of them of great importance to commerce on account of their cheap freight rates.
 Sucz CanaI-Kaiser Wilhelm Canal.
 The Suez Canal has long been con sidered the most important example of ship canals although the number of vessels passing through it annually does not equal that passing through the canals connecting Lake Superior with the chain of Great Lakes to the south. Tn length, however, it exceeds all of the other great ship canals, being ninety miles long, of which about two-thirds is through shallow lakes. The canal is without locks, being sea level the entire distance The length of time for a ship pass ing through the canal averages about eighteen hours and can be made eith- CT during the day or night as the en- tire waterways is lighted by electricity. Steam vessels pass through propelled by their own power. The tonnage per year averages between nineteen and twenty millions at about two dollars per ton.
 The plan of water connection be- tween the Mediterranean and the Red Sea goes back to early Egyptian his tory. Such a canal was constructed during the time of Rameses, but 1t became choked up by sand. From time to time it was opened, but it was

the lights of a rocket die away the men creep stealthily over the grass and clear the enemy's trench of its defenders in whatever way the ex- igencies require and then dash back to their own ditches for shelter from the inevitable shell fire which is sure to follow. Many times they take prisoners and drag them back with them.
 The man on guard at the attacked trench is almost sure to be "silenced'' before he can give the alarm. Usual ly this is the work of a man with a revolver or more often a knife is used by a man who creeps up from behind and with one lunge stills the guardian of the ditch. The surprise is easy if the listening post' does not discover the raiders. The officers usually act as listeners, and at night they some times hide very close to the enemy's trenches and listen to the conversa- ton of the men inside. Blinding light and wall of darkness alternate throughout the night and the ruthless slaughter of naen goes on.
 Incendiary Bombs.
 The Allies send up incendiary bombs which give an intense glow, and when one of these explodes a column of fam e leaps about one hundred and fifty feet

flares the light shines with an uncannI radiance and various devices are em- ployed by the men to keep 1t from showing their faces. Some use dark grease, while others cover themselves with dark veils. These night attacks develop at moments notice and the men are frequently ordered out in great haste when a listening post" has discovered a propitious moment for an attack. During the early part of the war this occurred frequently, but listening" is more difficult just now. as many officers do not allow their men to speak above a whisper in the trenches at night.
 Aircraft Active At Nighl.
 The aircrafts of tho armies are often active at night and when these appear the huge searchlights show up against the~dark sky long enough for the men who work the anti-aircraft guns to get range. Sometimes the gun is successful either in bringing down the machine or driving 1t away. and at others the aeroplane hovers about until the break of day getting line on the position of the enemy. Occasionally the Zeppelin or aero plane, as the case may be, drops bomb as near the searchlight as pos sible in the hope of destroying it or at least killing its guardians.
 These scenes are enacted all along the battle lines, for the Austrians and Italians play the same game when ever the ground is such that it can be worked, and death stalks forth in horrible form at night wherever the nations meet in battle array.
 Sir Douglass Haig. in speaking of night warfare, says: "Snipe fire ma chine guns and masked batteries of all calibres are never silent. Below ground is continual mining and coun- ter mining which by the ever present threat of sudden explosion and the uncertainty as to when and where it, will take place. especially at night, cause a more constant strain than any other forms of warfare"
 In short, night fighting strains hu- man endurance to the uttermost limit of elasticity and requires a certain dare devil courage which seems to be possessed by some men of every na- ton. t7F

in the air and spreads a clear light over a large area. Utter blackness follows as the guns open up and send the shells crashing on their mission of destruction. Then another bomb goes up, followed by more shells.
 Repair Work.
 Much of the repair work is done at night and the patrols who are exposed when the rockets begin, rush to cover at once for they know that the ribbon lights are but forerunners of death. One victim who was seriously wound ed while repairing a barbed wire en- tanglement at night and failed to reach cover in time declared that when the light from rocket spread over him he felt as if he had been stripped of his clothing and propped against a wall for instant execution, "I am not afraid of guns in the day light, but night on the front is an inferno that gets a mans nerve" he told the nurse in the hospital where he was sent with a shattered leg, Many nights are spent in repairing barbed wire entanglements and in mending broken telephone communi- cations. When the men work at the latter. sentry generally climbs tree nearby and hides among the leaves watching the enemy's trench to ward
