Olnan and Beyond. Dlnan la th Drat town of Impor tance to be reached on the llle-et-Itance canal. The clnp of sabota re sounds through th quaint street whose Fifteenth century bouse walla and carved tacadea beflttlngly frame a arena of snowy-capped old women and ahovel-hatled old men, with their shrewd, kind fnce of apple-red fresh ness. Never were aucb old folk aa these Breton peasants old, merely, like aom seasoned vlntag of "Im prisoned sunshine." Keyond Dlnan all la "little country," aa the French any, with here and (here a cluster of red roofs, or a distant spire, or lock keeper' house, to add their churin to thnt ennoe-temptlng atrenm. Everywhere there are lock. At one stretch there are 13 within four mile. Lock are constructed for slr.nbl bonis, not for canoe. Hut th good natured lock-keeper modern t th water Inrush by opening th sluice" gradually. In fact, locking through and especially tn "descending" locks, wher th water sinks to I lie level of th stream ahead become even an absorbing, picture book experience. Down you go, gradualty losing tight of the world, a th lock wall rise towering about you. The ponderous gnte ahead of you, closed Ilk aom big, btuck book cover, set you to won dering what Ilea behind them. Then alowly they open the hook covert part and some new and charming picture, a Corot or perhaps a Cailu, la disclosed. At Itennes en leave th canal and enter th Vlluln river.

At Iledon the Paris-bound canoeist enter the Nuntes a-Hrest canal which atretche to tlie Krdre river, a tribu tary of the Loire. Thlt latter river la entered at Nnnlea and i followed upstream for nearly 200 miles to Orleans. Avoid the Loire 8ands. The Loire I noted for It snnd. Though the French gins and cement Industrie work overtime and the dredge do their best, their united ef forts at exhausting the sand of the Loir are about aa effective at "seven mntds with seven mops sweeping up a aea beach. It la hopeleaa, ven for a canoe; th best plsn la In ship th craft to the middle Loire, where the chateaux are many and th aaud slum I a are fewer. Lnngeiils, Luynea, Ambolae, Chan nioiit, lllols outstrung Jewel on th river bank of th Loir I Yet they are Jewel which were fashioned and aet on their rlver-eommandlng belghta at different period and with different alms. Nevertheless they hav an his torical bond, sine most of them occu py th site of rtomsa camps, from which Uiey derlv their names. Langeals I a corrupted form of AllngHvia, and Miilll (lh older nam of Luynea) I but a slight modification of Malfclum. Hut Cuius declined to remain a Itoman colony, and by de gree these allea fell Into the band of th early Frenchmen. Thereupon they erected fortrewea, and lb Ito man being out of th way, proceeded to battl among themselves. Luynea' grim walla and nnornameat ed tower give us a fair Idea of what thla military fort res waa la lb Twelfth century, when th powerful noble warred igslnst each other and even against the king. Around Langeala centered the great baltlea betweeo the counts of Anjoo and the barons of Touralne. From be hind Its walla Itlchard of England (who waa alio a count of Anjou) de fied the crown, and for centuries the Kngllsh continued to nse the caalle aa a base fr gentlemsnly brigandage, until the uuhappy neighborhood bought them off with 2.UW gold crowns, stipulating that the fortress Im destroyed. Thereafter hard Dated I juls XI, having quelled his unruly vssssl and unlfled France, rejiullt for himself a modified Langeala the raatl It standa today. Som Lovely Chateaux. Ambolae and Chaumont belong to the same century as langeala and show th same tendencies. They are military ttronghnljs, softening under ornamentation of pinnacle and carv ing toward a purpose which became always less warlike and always mor luxurloua. Of till gradual transition th final tag I seen In the chateaux of Hlols and Axay-le Itidcaa, where a.it a ghost of th somhei feudal fortress remain; wher window, and not loophole, look out upon park Instead of draw bridge, and wher ornament expand Into th emhmlderle of pleasure palace In which the rustle of silks has replaced th clsng of mall. Illol U for the traveler who prefers to hob nob with th ghost of gorgeous cardinals and queen and aatln doiibleled CJiirtlers.

Th French canaJ system date hack to 10.18, when th Canal de lirlar was constructed. Sine then It ha -welled Into a vast complexity of routes which total more thin S.iKlO mile of canal and tearly T.000 mile of navlgnhle river, canalized and nnn cnnnllxed. It I no exaggeration te any that traffic may be moved from any on to any other part of Franc over this remarkahl system, which entail aa annual upkeep expenditure of 30,000, 000 frsucs. Its, longest link la the Canal du Midi, which extends BH0 miles across southern France, connect ing (he ; Ilhone with the Atlantic ocean. ( Th 'mrxlmum of traffic la found on th Murne-au-Ithln canal, which In 11)10 carried 110.000,000 K. T. or kilo metric ton. A K. T.
