THE "COUNTRY BASKET."
When Mrs. Durkin goes to the city
for a visit she makes herself doubly
sure of her welcome, for she always
carries with her what she has dubbed
her "country basket."
It may be small, lined with a nap -1
kin, and contain only a pat of fresh
butter, a bottle of cream or a jar of
milk. Or it may be larger and hold
some fresh vegetables or flowers from
the garden, some of the surplus fruit
from the orchard, a few nuts, a home-
made cake, .a dressed fowl, some pop
corn or some fresh eggs.
On a farm where these things are
plentiful they are not such luxuries,
but they constitute a real treat to the
city woman who must dig deep into
her purse to buy them,

The Pompeian were past masters

Prank G. Carpenter from Naples,

Italian volume of his World Travels.
Among the discoveries- which have
been unearthed by Professor Spinaz-
zola's new method of eXcavation, are
advertisements painted in every color
of the rainbow. There are theatrical
posters, posters of politicians, who beg
the people to elect them to the city
council, and lettere from women advo-
cating the choice of their favorites.

lic Buildings and Roads. New paint-
ings have been discovered both on the
inside and outside of the houses and
especially on the walls of the "Street
of Abundance," where most .of the
work has been done.
"The method of excavation," Mr,
Carpenter writes, "which Professor
Spinazzola has employed for the last
ten years is as different from the old
way as that of the steam shovel com-
pared with the fingernail. The old
method was to go with pick and spade
parts, on spots and hang in the sun- -
shine. Unless the fibre has been dam-
aged too much the stains will dis-

Will ,Enhance the AIreeidy im-
portaant Position of St. John
as en Atlantic Port.
S. recent event of outstanding Ina•
portanee was the opening of the new
dry dock at 8t, John, New Brunswick,
Da
signal evens both to the city .and
Dominion; shins to Canada and to the
Atlantic port the distinction of pos.
sensing'the 'largest dry dock in the
world. It is an event of particular leg-
niflcande, presaging great business on
Canada's Atlantic coast and adding
still another testimony to the many
evidences of faith in Canada's future
expansion and development of mor-
cantlle trade and general Atlantic
coast:activlty,
The general dbnenslona of the new
dry dock are: -Overall length; 1,x50
feet; clear width at the entrance, 125
feet; with 42 feet of water over the
entrance 6111 at extreme high tide. A
comparison of these dimensions with
those of other modern dry docks dis-
closes the fact that the St. John dry
dock Is actually the largest in the
world. Bearing In mind that the
largest vessel afloat to-day,is only 956
feet long, and that naval authorities.
are generally to agreement inconced-
ing that vessel dimensions 'nave now
reached their economic maximum, it
would appear that unnecessary length
is provided in the St. John dock, How-
ever, as this dock is being provided
with an intermediate sill which will
permit the whole dock to be divided
into two entirely separate chambers,
the inner 500 feet is length and the
outer_ 060' feet in length, It will be ap-
preciated that this length is justified
in that it provides for the accommoda-
tion at one and the same time of et
least two moderately sized vessels,
and still can be utilized when the oc-
casion arises as a single docking
chamber with sufficient capacity to ac-
commodate the largest vessel afloat
to -day,
Fully Equipped.
An all-important adjunct to the mod-
ern dry dock is a complete and readily
accessible repair plant, and ,consists
of, in addition to the powerhouse, a
machine shop, a boiler, blacksmith
and febrlcating shop, as well as a car-
penter shop and stores building, with
second -storey accommodation for a
mould loft. An underground tunnel
connects all buildings with the power-
house, so that electrical energy, steam
for heating and power, compressed air
and water will be supplied to each,
and all with nothing in the nature of
wires or pipes above ground to inter-
fere with the movement of materials
between the buildinge and the docks.
These buildings are equipped tbrough-
outwith all necessary machines of nut
ficfent size to handle any class of re-
pair work that may originate from any
Teasels which the dry dock itself, can
accommodate.
It was, in 1911 that the New Bruns-
wick Government, realizing the de-
ficiencies of St. John to this respect,
and mindful of the noels of fully da
veloping the Atlantic port, succeeded
in interesting British capital in under-
taking the construction of a first-class
dry dock and repair yard at St, John.
Construction Begun In 1912.
Actual construction, operations were
commenced in 1912, and in 1914, at the
outbreak of the war, extensive opera-
tions were under way on the excava-
tion and ,preparation of the dry dock
site. Like many other projects, this
soot. felt the pinch of war tines, with
the resultant shortage and high price
of both labor and materials, and after
struggling along through the first two
years of the war, furtheroperatlous
became Impossible. Not until the end
of the -war could further interest be
aroused in tbis undertaking, which lay
dormant until the Fall of 1918, when
Canadian capital undertook to resume
the work and carried it through to con.
elusion.
The new dry dock presages a yet
enhanced importance for the Port of
St. John. Already it has an important
place in Canada's economic 11fe as the
principal outlet, on the Atlantic coast
and the busiest port of winter ship-
ment, Its exports amount to nearly
$100,000,000 per year and its imports
to $50,000,000. As the terminus of two
Canadian railways with. branches
radiating from It, It can well and ex-
peditiously serve the Dominion. Its
touch with the United States is ado-
quato through line services malutain-
ed with the Republic's coast ports. It
has connection with practically every
country of the globe through services
maintained with the United Kingdom,
France, Norway, Ireland, South Africa,
Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda and
10007 other localities,
