Whoa a reporter of the PMt-Int*liigen
oer dropped Into the down town office
of the Great Northern yesterday Mr. Cur
ties aaa outing in Iroat of R . C. Steven*'
<le*k la the private office, directly under a
fine engraving of the Northland, one of
the magnificent passenger steamers of the
tine on the Groat lake*, of which bo 1*
purser. Mr. CUTUM* poaiuon ha* been con
sidered a sinecure, as the salary Is de
scribed as a "fat" one, and it goes on
through the year, whke the real labors
of the position are only carried on through
six month*, the remaining sis month* of
the year bring those during which navi
gation io clooed on the lakes. Mr. Curtis*
looked op at the picture admiringly, al
though having just left her. He has not
had time to got homesick tor the green
waters of the inter-ocean*. The conver-
Mtion In tb* office turned to th* long
period of Inactivity In each year that tho
Mg steamers ar* sub)*ct*d to. and a vary
general rogrot waa expressed that there
was no way of getting th* splendid ships
to t»d* water where they might be us*d
to advantage in coastwise passenger busi
n*M and th* southern excursion* that ar*
mo popuar daring tbe winter month* on
th* Atlantic coast. Several of the trans
atlantic line*, after tbe heavy business of
the summer Is over have run excursion*
to the Ea*t lixHea tho Axores, the Ma
deria Islands and even to tho Mediterran
ean. These excursions In tbe past few
year* have grown to such proportions that
they constitute a paying *h»re of th*
general busineM of th* steamer tine*.
Every year preparations are made k>ng
in advance of the erason for tbe rush for
chancM ta escape tbe fearful winters of
tbe Eastern seaboard. A two or three
month*' cruise In Southern sea* on on*
of tbe w*sl equipped vessels offers the very
best substitute for one in a private yacht
It ta not. therefore, unreaaonabl* for
th* owner* of such ship* as thorn In th*
Un* of tb* Great Northern, on the lakes,
to look with envious eyes toward the
luckier owners who are able to work their
vessels all th* year 'round. This condi
tion. howovor. will not prevail always, as
certain bills before tbe Canadian parlia
ment at present ar* for the widening of
th* Wetland and Lachlne ship canals,
and the enlargement of the locks, so that
a vessel of any tonnage miM>t be taken
from tho lower St. Lawr»nfe river to
Lake Ontario snd ,on, by passing throuph
the Wetland canal to Lake Frio and the
string of large lakes. In times of peAce
or "armod neutrality" this arrangement
would be satisfactory, but under any oth
er circumstances the United States would
find I'jnlf handicapped with thousands of
miles of unprotecteid shore line, crowded
with some of the best cities In the coun
try; an urprotected mining district of the
greatest wealth, and access to the Interior
by a hundred routes left open to invasion.
From Buffalo to Chicago, passing Cleve
land. Toledo. Detroit. Muokegon, Grand
Haven. Duluth. Mil* aukee and a dozen
other places of less Importance, an enemy
oculd sweep, wreaking suck havoc as cen
turies could not replace.
With this Idea, Mr. CurtUs says that
the steamboat and shipping men of the
great lak*s will present to the next con
gress a bill asking for a heavy subsidy for
tho enlarging of the locks «.nd the deep
ening and widening of ths Erie canal that
would admit the largest vessels from the
Hudson river, at Troy, to pass across to
Buffalo. The scheme, commercially and
sutogicslly. Is one of stupendous im
portance. tho latter feature of the bin ap
pealing to the Interests of the government.
A vast amount of capital would be neces
sary, but the state of New Tork owns the
Erie canal and tho state of New York has
plenty of money.
To bo able to send a man-of-war of the
first class to Chicago Is not an unalluring
proopect and as lha scheme is feasible,
It Is not unl.Sely that suph will bo the
ess* In a few years. Uncle Sam could well
afford to pay well for such a prlvile»grt.
That Is the way the strategic part of the
bill is to be presented. Commercially, it*
value would be Inestimable To ship tho
product* of th* We*t snd middle country
all over the world without an extra hand
ling la something that the government
Is expected to interest Itself in, and a bill
that would contemplate such a contin
gency could not fail to b* universally
popular.
Mr. Curtlss Mys that another canal from
tho SL Lawrence vta Lake Champlaln to
tho Hudson has also been disouseed, but
It fails in th* reape ta of strategy ar>d
ownership that tho Erie proposition con
templates.
The length of locks in the Wt-iland
canal la only 210 feet, with fourteen fe*t
draught. The I.ach;no canal is less in
the mattor of length of looks and has but
thirteen feet of draught. Both the United
prates arv.l tho Canadian governments
hav* built canals at Sault Ste. Mario, the
former be;ng SM feet long. 1W wide
and 21 feet In depth, aa.l tho latter POO
feet long, 80 fe«?t wi<!e and 21 f<w»t d«-ep.
When the George K. Wetmoro. the bone*
of which are burled In the sands of ihe
Oregon coast, brought around to
this coast oho wis sent through the Wei
land and Lachino canals in section* and
put together in Montreal, prior to bcr
first sea voyage.
While Mr. Curtiss does not say that tho
Northland and tho Northwest will over
enter tho winter excursion business on
tho Atlantic, hs feels oonfideru that tho
car.&l proposition from the Eastern sen
b<«arl to the great lakes Is on!y a matter
of lima The Introduction of the bill in
c :igr>*« will be watehtxl by shipping m*n
the world over with a great deal of In
ters*:.

The "Two Dark Days.*
There are two "Dark Days" mentioned
In the annals of New England. The first
occurred on October 21. 171*. when It sud
denly became so dark soon after noon that
the people were forced to use artificial
lights to do their ordinary work. This
strange condition of the atmosphere lasted
about tbrve and a half hours. Again, on
Jlay 19. 1759, there was a remarkable dark
ening of the atmosphere, but the phenom
enon did not come on so suddenly aa that
upon the earlier date. The darkness In
this latter Instance began between 10 and
11 o'clock on the morning of the day
named, and lasted throughout the day.
The darkness extended from the north
eastern part of New England westward
as far as Albany. N. Y., and southward to
Pennsylvania. The most intense and pro
longed darkness, however, was confined
to Massachusetts, more especially to the
seaboard. It Is said to have come from
the southwest, but there Is no mention of
It made in the i..»tory of Ohio or the Vir
ginias. The exact cause still remains one
of the unexplained mysteries.
