Text Appearing Before Image:
4 o 28 The Picturesque Rideau Route. Rideau Lakes Navigation company for Canadas capital. For some time travel ison the Cataraqui River, which winds about in and out between slopingwooded shores and rich pasture lands, looking all the while too dainty to bearupon its breast aught more substantial than the light canoe. It is not until thefirst locks at Kingston Mills are reached that we are reminded that this loveliestof waterways hides its charms from the outside world under the name of theRideau Canal—canal ! Out upon the word ; it is such a vile misnomer. Doesit not conjure up visions of dreary towing paths, jaded mules and profanedrivers? What does the fair Rideau, with its woods and hills, its clear, windingstreams and water lilies, its foaming cataracts androckgirt lakes, know of theseabominations ?
Text Appearing After Image:
PART OF CHANNEL, LAKE OPIN1CON The spires, domes and glittering crosses of Kingston are lost to us now;we are fairly in the heart of the quiet country, with its subdued sounds andsweet scents. An express train of the Grand Trunk thunders over the bridgespanning the locks, and we are distinctly resentful of its intrusion. How wepity the occupants of those cars, with their atmosphere of rush and direct pur-pose, we happy mortals, who are being slowly raised from elevation to elevationto the music of imprisoned waters. The locks are marvels of solid masonry and triumphs of engineering skill.They are built of limestone blocks, six feet in length by four feet wide, and ofdroportionate thickness. Their dimensions are 142 feet by 33 feet in breadth,and from 12 to 25 feet deep. The dams also are of such massive construction The Picturesque Rideau Route 29
