SCOTLAND'S GREAT CANAL.

as wai recently ai&ted In a cable dis
patch, the plan for the construction of
a ship canal between ths Firth of Forth,
on the east of Scotland, across to the
River Clyde, on the west, have been
definitely arranged. The canal will cost
$30,000,000, but powerful support is ex
pected from the British government.
Or; a of the great engineering features
of the scheme will be the carrying of the
cru'.Hl near the Loch Lomond end. Fre
quent passing places will be made.
An indication of the saving in dis
tance that would be effected by the
canal, says an exchange, will be gained
from the following figures: From the
Clyde to ports on the east coast of Scot
Iftnd, northeast of England, and north
west of Europe the distance saved
would be from 629 miles to 228 miles.
From the Firth of Forth to ports on the
wast coast of Scotland, northwest of
England, Ireland, America and the Med
iterranean the distance saved would be
from 487 to 141 miles. From Tyne
ports to the St. Lawrence river the dis
tance saved would be 150 mile. From
the west of Britain and northeast
of Ireland to middle western ports ol
the continent the distance saved would
be from 377 to 98 miles.

The Death Penalty.
A little thing sometimes reeults in
death. Thus a mere scratch, insignifi
cant cuts or puny boils have paid the
death penalty. It is wise to have Buck-
len's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the
best salve on earth and will prevent fa
tality when burns, sores, ulcers and
piles threaten. Only 25c at Slocum
Drug Co.'s.

There is a little story connected with
the record-breaking run of the Lowe
special over the Santa Fe, Chicago to
Los Angeles, in less than 53 hours,
which is not generally known.
It is related that Mr. Lowe offered
the engineer who hauled the train from
San Bernardino to Los Angeles on the
home-stretch of 60 miles the sum of
$50 a minute for every minute gained
over the schedule. Engineer Warboy
turned the wheels at a 50-cecond clip for
Bach mile to Pasadena, but had to slow
down in the suburbs of Los Angeles. He
pulled into La Grande station, Los An
geles, Just 62 minutes after leaving San
Bernardino, gaining nine minutes on the
whirlwind schedule and thereby earn
ing $450 extra pin money.
The Santa Fe passenger department
will soon publish a pamphlet giving full
details of the swift flight of the Lowe
special, which in several instances ex
ceeded 90 miles an hour. An average of
nearly 43 miles an hour was maintained,
in the face of having to cross four high
ranges of the Rockies, and with little
previous selection of engines or crews.
The equipment of the Pinehurst Gun
club embraces an interesting teature
in the shape of a tower trap. Such traps
are quite common In. Europe, but prac
tically unknown in this country, says
the New York Sun.
In the top of the tower are two tar
get traps, one at the right and one at
the left. The attendant is protected by
a heavy plank partition which also hides
the traps from view. The traps; are
pulled from the rear, in the usual man
ner. Birds may be thrown In five ways,
right, left, unknown, overhead and
doubles. In all of these events, with
the exception of the overhead birds,
the shooter faces the tower at the usual
distance. In the overhead shooting he
stands back to the tower and directly
underneath it. The sport furnished is
novel as compared with the usual trap
shooting.
The idea Is to produce conditions such
as those the sportsman experiences in
wild waterfowl, pigeon or other shoot
ing, or in shooting birds which fly from
trees. Known angles to the right and
left are not difficult and many gunners
have a knack for killing overhead birds,
but unknown angles puzzle the experts,
and doubles, two birds shooting off in
opposite directions and at the same
time, call for a skill and quickness that
few possess. But doubles are not im
possible, and the shooting is wonderful
ly fascinating because of its difficulty.
Among the tropical fishes lately re
vived at the aquarium from Bermuda
were 30 or more little sergeant ma
jors, two or three inches in length,
which will flock together precisely
Hke little ohicks, and with the same
;onfldent fearlessness, says the New
York Sun.
Let them be scattered througk the
water in all parts of their tank and let
fcoroebody tap gently low down on the
outside of the glass and the whole
Dunoh will come a-scurrying, as fast
l tlieir fins can drive them, all crowd
ing in together ae neer those finger
dps at they can get.
What draws them so, whether curi
osity or hunger, or what, they all
rwarm at the call. And as little chieks
will run, a moment later all together
to another part of the field at the old
len's bidding, so will thee little ser
geant majors rush together again a
noment later, at a second gentle tap
aing on the glass.
