1t is far cry from the Erie canal
to the present barge canal of New
York state, and just as far from the
mule-hauled canal boat to the latest
type Of self-propelled barges which
were recently built to run on the
barge canal These barges, five in
number. were built in Duluth, and will
= be propelled by 14O-brake- horsepower
direct reversible Diesel engines They
are 25O feet long, 36-foot beam, lO-foot
draft, with displacement of 2,15O
tons each. Besides being self-prO,
PEELED they are all thoroughly equipped
with electric auxiliaries, having cleo
trio hydraulic steering gear, electric
anchor windasseS. and electric cap
stan. They are all electrically lighted,
the electricity for the various pur-
poses for which 1t is used being pro
vided on each barge by three 1O-kilo-
watt generators, driven by 15-horse-
power DIESEL engine. The cargo ca.
pacities range from 1900 to 1850 tons
each, which, to any one who remem-
bers the old canal boats, will give an
fdea of the type of traffic to be ex.

Probably Fastest Runnino Animal.

one OF the fastest as we'll as one of
the most interesting animals known is
the cheetah, the hunting leopard of In
dla. These animals, on account of the
great speed which they attain, are
tanned by the Indians and trained to
hunt antelopes. While the hunted an
telOpe. which can clear 10-S6ot fence
without apparent effort at single
leap is at the height of burst of
frightened speed the cheetahs are re-
leased. They stretch along the ground,
gaining on the antelopes every second,
and finally bring them down with a
Well-timed bound which places the
fangs of the cheetah in the throat of
the quarry. The hunters at once cut
the throat of the antelope, and the
cheetah drinks the blood. Next the
thigh of the antelope is slit open and
the cheetah tears away small portion
of the game he has captured. This Is
his reward. His muzzle is replaced,
and he is placed in his cage until the
next hunt.
While the cheetah is known as a
leopard. he is not true feline. He
has the arching body of greyhound
and the feet of dog, while his head
Is distinctly that of cat The animal
is rarely seen in the public geological
collections for the reason that he soon
dies because of the lack of exercise.

COT WRONG ''GIRL"
One Occasion When Monarch's
Plans Went Wrong.
Might Be Difference Of Opinion 40 to
Whether Joke Was on Frederick
or the Corporal.

Those who read history with an
eye 20 the humorous as well as the
impressive, sometimes stumble upon
funny and witty happenings in which
the great were forced by humble be.
ings or by circumstance to play lu.
dicrous parts. writes Mark Stuyvesant
In the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The
following incident seems as though 1t
had been designed to swamp with
laughter the carefully carrie<Aout and
often cruel plans Of Frederick William
!. Of Prussia to have corps Of giant
soldiers
1t is said that Frederick's agents
searched the world for giants. Hag-
gard, to whom we are indebted for this
information, tells US that Frederick
paid an Irish giant, who was feet
high, the sum Of $1,000 to enlist, a
veritable fortune In those days.
But Frederick, who was miserly,
disliked to pay such sums even to
achieve his ambition for an army Of
giants. He determined to breed giants
as well as to buy them. Whenever he
found tall young woman he had her
married to one Of his tallest soldiers.
No thought Of the desires Of either
was permitted to stand In the way Of
his ambition. Sometimes Frederick
resorted to trickery to bring about his
wish.
One day when Frederick was riding
In a forest. he came upon a beautiful
girl about 6 feet in height. She did
not know the king by sight. This
Frederick realized when he stopped
to talk with her. He we'll knew the
girl could not read, for very few wom-
en- of his day, even Of the highest
rank. possessed this accomplishment.
So Frederick asked the girl If she
would like to earn q thaler or two
by carrying note to the commander
Of nearby fortress. She said she
would like to have the money. So
Frederick wrote q note It read:
Instantly have the bearer of this
married to Corp. Fritz Of the Gren.
adiers."
The unsuspecting girl took the note
and left the king, who continued his
way In the opposite direction. Sud
denly the girl realized that if she did
the errand she would be late to an APP
pointment with her lover. SO she hur-
ried to the hut of a withered old
woman, gave her half the kings money
and the note to deliver Then this
beautiful, stately girl hurried away
to meet the man she loved.
When Frederick rode into the for
tress that evening, he commanded the
woman who had borne the note to be
brought before him with her husband.
Imagine the shock to the king when
he saw the withered old woman. who
had been married to the corporal!
Needless to say, the story did not
remain secret in the fortress. 1t
ran the length and breadth of Prussia.
and other nations also laughed.
