The Suez Canal.

The canal is only 100 miles in length, unit.
ing points which are but 70 miles apart in an
air line. The width of the canal on the sur.
face Of the water varies from ! 90 feet to 1872
The depth Of water is nowhere less than 26
feet, nor more than 33 feet. The width of
the bottom Of the channel varies from y to
3ll feet 1t is calculated that the canal will
be naygable for ships Of 5000 tons, but none
drawing over "a feet will be admitted. There
are no gates or locks The one hundred
miles of the route lies through almost all
kinds Of soil-soid rock, quicksands, marshes,
salt-lake basins, ETC., and the difficulties of
prosecuting the work of construction have
been immense 1t was begun on the 25th Of
April, 1893, aud it cost nearly $50, 600, 600,
in gold The canal is to remain the property
OF the company which constructed it for 90
years After that time it will pass into the
hands Of the Egyptian Government.
An Engishman named Waghorn, first sug-
gested the idea Of building the canal, but the
honor Of its construction is wholly due to
Ferdinand de Lesseps, Frenchman. Statues
IN honor Of both are to be erected at Suez.
No estimate can of course be made of the
saving which will accrue to Western Europe
by the thoroughf,re Some idea Of its i'm.
portance, however, can be gathered from the
la'' that it will make an average saving in
distance to England of over 900 miles.

aoa,ha,a Literary Ramaina.

The Pal Mall Gazette says: "While we
have our terrible posthumous revelations
true or false, about Byron, Germany is alive
with clamors for Goethe's literary remains,
which his grandchildren are accused ofwan
| tonly and frivolously secreting, against the
express wish of the poet himself Many
years before his death, Goethe carefully ar.
ranged his papers and correspondence, and
in his will he appointed Riemer and Ecker
man as editors AS TO the correspondence,
there was special proviso only with regard
to ZeIlzers aud Schlller's letters; the former
of which was to be published Immediately
after Goethe's death, for the benefit OF Iet
ter's daughter; while the latter were to be
published in 1850. EckermAn's converse
lions show that Goethe. in January, 1881,
had fully made up his mind to give the rest
of his correspondence to the world without
restrictions. To this hour, however, every
thing remains buried, save those letters Of
Cnebel and Count Renhard which Chancel.
lor Won Miller arbitrarily made known-an
indiscretion which caused Goethes family to
reject his offer Of acquiring both Goetbes
house and remains for the Bunfestag lot
the sum Of 10000 thalers. When IN 1919
the executors published, through Schuchsrdt,
a catalogue of all Goetheis art and science
collections their disappointmentuot to be able
ON that occasion to explain their strange re.
ticepce with regard to the delayed publication
of the literary remains; but the fact was they
said their lips were still sealed, ard they
begged all those who sincerely and really
loved and revered their grandfather to sus'
pend their Judgment till such time when they
would be abe 10 give full and distinct ex.
PLANTATION, and they added: The granting OF
so small and Just favor TO the grandchlldren
might perhaps, be the most natural and
the truest outward sign of love towards the
grandfather most mysterious words, which
since Muller was then alive, were respected
and acted upon. Meanwhile twenty more
years have passed, everybody who could have

| is dead aud gone and the only eeton taken b.
those dutiful executors has consisted in thei
steady resistance TO their grandiathers will
and finally, worst Of oil, it has come to this
that these treasures are no longer accessible
This has exhausted public patience. Their
