EUROPE'S WATERWAYS

RHINE-DANUBE CANAL MOOTED

AUSTRIA INVESTIGATING.

Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright

COPENHAGEN, April 16. Ihe municipality of Vienna is summoning a conference of representatives -from the- cities of the Danube to consider the question of the construction of a canal from the Rhine to the Danube.

N lie proposal is evidently a German one, as the Danubs traverses Wurtemberg and Bavaria before entering Austria. ' The source of the Danube at Donaueschingen. m Baden, is only about 20 miles distant from the Rhine after the latter issues from, Lake Constance, hut the upper waters of the -Danulio are regularly frozen over every winter. Since as fai-i back as 1844 the Rhine and Danubo systems have been connected by the Canal, which iiiu-crscK Bavaria, and unites the Altmuhl ;a tributary of the Danubo) with the Main (a tributary of the Rhine).]

A statement of tho Wellington City Council's finances for tlip past year ehow'fi that the- receipts were £248.856, and the ordinary expenditure £244,691. Tho receipts from rates totalled £175,270, rents £38.055, and water account £17,367. The expenditure on .streets, drainage, and lighting absorbed £72,234. The city funds show a credit, of £15,069 this year, as a.aintu a debit of £23,612 for the previous roar. The sinking funds total £327,204. educing the public debt to £1,953.046.

Were I so tall to reach tho sky, Or take tbe ocean in my span, V.'lvii use is length unless there's strength? .Now teil inc if you can. Suppose I'm ill with rasping oougli Or tickling throat—well, to he 6ure, I don't talk length, I gather strength With Woods' Great Peppermint cure. —[Advfc.]
