Beautiful Chinese Gardens.

From time immemorial China has
been called the f1owery kingdom, a
name given by the Chinese themselves
and singularly suited to the land which
for ages was like an oasis of flowers
of the spirit in the world desert Of
barbarism, observes the New York
World.
In this oasis grew the arts of the
bronze and stone worker, of the silk
maker and embroiderer, of the potter,
Of the painter on silk, Of the poet,
philosopher and ethical devOtee.
But China was not named the flow
cry kingdom because of these flowers
of the mind. Her flora is one of the
most luxuriant in the world. 1t is es-
timated to consist of some 10000 spe'
cies, 1900 of which are known and one
half of which are indigenous and not
found elsewhere.
Such being the flora of China, it is
readily understood that horticulture
and gardening early became a skilled
and hOnOred profession.

For many years no attention has
been paid TO enforcing the fishing
laws of Delaware, as they affect fish
ing in the Delaware Bay, but as the
result of urgent protests from New
Jersey. Pennsylvania and the people
interested in food conservation, the
Fish Police of Delaware have been
looking into the work, and after those
fishing along the entire bay shore.
Says the Milford Chronicle: "The
stories of great profits from the sale
of fish in the city markets after being
taken by automobiles from the fishing
shores to Wilmington, Chester. and
even Philadelphia, has caused atten-
tion to be given to the fish so sold by
those engaged in bay fishing, and
also to size of fish seined. 1t was
found that the trout were marketed
below the legal size in large quantity,
while other fish protected by law were
being taken and sold as food in some
cases. The result has been prosecu-
tions in many cases from New Castle
to Lewes and even along the Atlantic

Smyrna times., 1918-06-12

The visit Of the German submarines
to our coast, disagreeable as it has
been, may still have its bright side if
it has the effect of giving an impetus
to the much-dicsussed, but long-de-
layed, project of an inner waterway
extending from New England to the
Calolinas. For boats of light draft
this already exists, but for those of
larger size there are two missing
links i'll the chain. These are the
two shallow canals, the Delaware and
Raritan, and the Chesapeake and Del
aware, connecting the Delaware on
the north with the waters tributary
to New York and on the south with
those which lead into Chesapeake Bay.
If these artificial waterways could be
widened and deepened the problem of
coastwise navigation in the event of
a submarine visitation would be
greatly simplitied. New England,
which now fears coal famine because
of the interruption in its supplies,
which come chiefly from Norfolk and
Newport News, would be rendered
quite independent of the outside route,
and Boston, Providence. New York,
Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore,
Washington, Norfolk and Richmond
would, in addition to the railroads,
have a means of inter communication
which could be easily protected against
enemy attacks.
At it's last session Congress made
an appropriation for the purchase Of
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal,
but no definite steps looking to it,
acquisition have, we believe, beer
made as yet. There are no seriou:
engineering difficulties involved il
the improvement of this waterway
which is less than Is miles long. Tht
Delaware and Raritan Canals en-
largement woGld be more expensiv,
matter, and for this reason surveys
have been made for an entirely nev
route from Bordentown to South Am
boy. There is no denying that thi
would be a costly undertaking, but il
comparison with the advantages to b
secured in wartime the expense woul
be trifing.
With these two links in the chai
of inner waterways strengthened, wa
vessels of moderate size and mercan
tile craft would move freely fror
Boston to Norfolk quite regardles
of any blockade of the outside route
1t is quite unlikely that any sue
blockade could be maintained for
protracted peroid, but it is a pos
y sibiliry, as we now see. German
has profited greatly by the Kiel Cana
which enables its warships to pass
safety from the North Sea into til
Baltic. Why not take lesson frol

the quarrel ensued. The police had
to interfere.
The judge admonished them and
gave some sage advice:
'Try to be more careful next time"
he advised.
As the couple started to leave the

Pursued by ShrapneI.
The plane was perceptibly lower; 1t
almost seemed as if it's suspicious
must have been aroused. 1t swept off
toward home, pursued by the bursting
shrapnel that it lodged as If by
series of miracles. But suddenly II
seemed to culver, its tail went up, and
1t began to dive steeply. The sentry
watched it eagerly through his glasses.
Was 1t ruse to escape the shell, or
was it hit? Slowly the plane began to
turn over as it fell, and then, all at
once, all control seemed to leave It.
and it dropped steadily, turning over
and over, the sun flashing from it's pol
ished fusilage as it did SO. Lower and
lower it fell, until only a few hundred
feet from the ground, when it turned
on its side and crashed swiftly to earth,
mile or so from the battery.
The sentry blew his whistle once
more, and the battery returned to It's
work cheering and whistling. Every
one had seen the machine come to
earth and was proportionately elated.
But, as always, chivalrous feeling for
their fallen enemy was mingled with
the mems joy.
"Plucky sportsman, that" said one
and the rest echoed his sentiments.
