carried out to sea and thrown on lines Of break
waters. To prevent the wash OF sand from the
Mediterranean, immense blocks OF stone, Weigh
ing twenty tons each, manufactured at said,
and by means Of powerful lifting machines
placed on the lighters, carried to the breakwatCr
line and slid oil iuto tue sea. These huge
blocks of stone are made of sand and hydraulic
lime thoroughly mixed by machinery. The
substance, soft at first, Is conveyed in bars to
long rows of large square boxes with movea6le
sides, into which 1t is thrown. This material is
then left to harden in the sun for the space of
three months, after which time it becomes as
solid as rock, and grows still harder by ex.
posuTe to the water.
The depth of the canal, when finished, is to be
twenty six feet, and the width Will vary from
one hundred aud eighty to three hundred feet.
The European population on the line Of the
canal brought thither by the requirements of
the company, cannot be less than tRenty thou
sand souls. The funds required for the develop
nent of the enterprise have been obtained from
the great capitalists OF EuTepe-lrom judiClous
Investments of unemployed Capital-lrom in
demnity recovered through the instrumentality
OF the Ficeroy Of Egypt, and from the sale of
the domain of Onardy. The resources thus
derived appear TO be three hundred and eleven
millions of francs, and the total expenses of the
undertaking to the time OF its completion are
estimated at about four hundred millions of
francs, or sixteen millions sterllug. There are
at present three modes OF communication with
the Suez Canal, VIZ, from Alexandra to

spect the canal, seven days should be occupied
in the following Notwithstanding that the
visitor starts from Suez, one day should be there
occupied in the examination of the machine
shops, and docks of solid masonry. The second
day visit Chalouf, one of the most important
of the company's stations. The third day,
proceed to Serapium, where formidable en-
banbmcnt of earth separates the finished
from the unfinished portions of the canal. The
fourth day reach Ismalia. The fifth day ride
over the deserts to Ell Guisr, distant some five or
six miles from Ismalia, There will be seen
another evidence of European industry in the
form of pretty 'cantounementn with houses for
operatives, Christian church, and Arab mosque.

The SUe2 Canal,

From The Albany ArguS August p.

return ed from a tour in the Fast, the folio wing
interesting facts relative to the Sucz Canal The

nayigable tor ships OF the largest dimensions.
The principal stations are Suez, where the canal
commences, Ell GuIsr, Grand Chalouf Serdpium,

These different places are inhabited by several
thousand Europeans who are employed on The
canal. They have erected at lsmalia, the

system of foTced labor, however, has not proved
satisfactory il its results to either The employ

been adopted. The Arabs are now paid for their
services, and under the present system manifest

MIR. Fearon, in q report ON secondary edIca-
tiou IN Scotland, speaks highly OF tue manuerin
which the classics are taught in the bgcgh
schools. He C0mmeuds the scottish te1ct ers
for the constant ana sklliul use OF 'vcGsiOns'-
the rendering of English into another language
SO as to lllu:trate the application OF
TO verbal Construction and composition.
This practice is very largely carried
out by all the better classical masters in the
burgh schools, and they have a remarkable
readiness ana facility in translating az sight
into good idioma!ic Latin. The version may be
either oral or written, and the best masters
make large use o. both kinds. From the very
commencement of learning Latin or Greek, they
require their pupils 10 turn English phrases
into these languages, questioning them with
the greatest lvelmess aud rapidltv, varying the
phrase according to the capacity o. the class 50
as to exhibit the Conjugadon OF averb or the de-
Clenslon of noun, or the use OF the conCords,
or the employment OF the relative and OF the
hypothetical moods, with every sort OF variety
Of negative and iutertogative form. Thus the
dead languages, aud especially Latin, are much
less dead among these schoolmaster5
than III England. A constant ntercom-
munic9tion of thought iu Latin goes
on between master and pupil the
pupil Is trained to express himself IN Lttin and
not to read 1t merely. 1t is clothed with much
more lie aud reality than 1t could otherwise be;
and though perhaps this custom necessitates
some sacrifice of pure Augustan Latuity, aud
| the occasional use of words which, however
satisfactory to Erasmus, would shock an
'ltelanu" sCnOlaC, NIL Fearon ventures TO tnNnk
that more is gained by the pupil in vigOr and
| retentiyeness than is lost in refinement and
subuty.
Mr.. Fearon refers to the Scotch method of
| pronounc the dead languages :-"Whether
I the Scotch pronunciation of Latin or Greek is
really in any degree an approximation to what
| we may suppose to have been the native pro-
| nunCiation OF either OF these languages at any
| given period OF its history rs a living tongue,
do mott he says, presume to inquire. 1 sup
pose, however, that l may safely assume that
| 1t is hardly possible that the Scotch pro-
nunciation can be less like the true original
than the English pronunciation must be; and
! if so, their way of pronouncng is at any rate
not arch@ologicay inferior to ours, and not
therefore more likely to offend the ears of scho-
! lars and philologists. But whether this be so or
not, must say that think that for educational
| purposes the Scotch have an advantage over us
| in their mode of pronounctng. | think that
their mode of pronouncing helps to give the
pupil reader insight into the origin, deriva
| tions, philology, and relations to Que another
of the Latin and Greek languages; clearer
| appreciation of the connection between the
Latin and the Romance languages. and greater
practical use Of the Latin tongue"

Alpine Hotels.

The Pal MdU Gazette says
Twenty and even ten years ago II was diff
cult TO ind in Switzerland any comfortable
place of residence five or six thousand feet
high; but now such places may be counted
almost in dozens. Formerly ladies, and even
men occasionally, would boast of having slept
in a hospice; and places OF that sort, where
there was no accommodation or desire for your
continued residence, were the only places of
shelter within or close up to the regions of per-
petual ice and snow. But the great increase of
travellers, and the laudable, however sneered
at, efforts of the members of the Alpine Club,
have pushed hotels in abundance high
into the upper regions of Switzerland,
wherever suitable spots can be found free
fTom the danger of ayalanches, easily accessible
on mules by mountain paths, and with some
opportunity for easy walking in the neighbor-
hood. Of these the hotels on the Rippel and
the Eggischorn are probably the most noted,
the latter being over eight thousand feet high,
while presenting at the same time an abundance
Of creature comforts, and elevated above the
great glacier system OF the Monte Rosa group,
offers a splendid opportunity of trying tue effect
OF the very Reenest, driest, purest, and most
powerful Alpine AR, There are places, ho Weyer,
even higher than these, such as the Faulhorn
Gasthof which can accommodate a good many
people, and the little hostelry at over ten
thousand feet, on the perpetual snow of the st.
Theodule pass; and there are many very COM
Portable hotels at lower elevations, from four
thousand TO six thousand feet, where the air,
though pure and inyigorating, is not so eXcit-
ing; whore there are trees TO afford shelter and
diversity the scene, and where there is ereater
yaIlety OF pleasant level walks"
