these outlets, the Bonnet Oarre crevssss 10 be
diverted from its present course Into Lake Maui
repes and made chip canal Of. The Professor
explained that the current OF this canal would be
gentle and gradual ia spite OF the great fall, be-
cause Of its due nofthefly course. Streams run
ming due south are more rapid than others. He
had explained years ago that the current OF the
Mississippi was not due to Its fall, bat to the
csntpetal motion resulting from the rotation OF
the earth, Q force that made the earth an oblate
spbernid, instead Of sphere, which cause
| Its diameter TO be twenty miles greater
at the equatora than at the poles, and which
! raises the tropical oceans thirteen and half
| miles above the globe level These currents,
turned into the lake, would wash emanuel through
| them TO the sea. This current could be directed
Jby ietty at The opening Of Lake Maurepas,
along the shores, thus aifmding an excellent
| harbor at the Lake End and Mneburg.
This was In effect the theory advanced to open
Manchae and make ship canal oil the Bonnet
Osrre erevasse, and 30 direct their currents
through The lakes az to cut q deep channel along
| the shores, with break-waters on the outside,
which In time would become like 'tisles Of Eden,
| blooming In purple depths Of summer sea-"
| The lecture, wbethtr practical or not was full
/ Of beauty and splendid conjecture, and we only
regret that our space forbids more extended
notice,

VENUS AND PHsEnE.

Last evening shout 780 o'clock there were
probably more slar-gazers than there have been
for some time past. At almost every street
corner little knots OF incipient astronomers we're
gathered looking skywards, and on Canal street
quite large crowd collected near Prof. Parker g
telescope.
The cause of this unlocked for excitement was
one of the most beautiful stella displays that has
been seen for long time. The moon, now verg-
ing on it's first quarter. held almost with Its
duplicate horn" the liquesoent Venus. The
crescent and the star could not be more perfectly
presented. and every one who cav the coniuno-
ton OF the tive bodies expressed enthusiastic
delight at the beauty Of the picture.
Tonight about 8 O'Clock II will be presented
again. when an occultstion will take place.
Last evening Venus passed near the lower horn
and then gradually fell below, until 1t and the
moon seemed separated four or FIVE degrees
