THE idea of a canal through the
Isthmus like that of the Lesseps
was considered practicable, and
the excavation was actually com
menced $500 years ago, and in the
reign Of Ptolemy Philadelphus,
273 years before the Christian era,
the union OF the two seas was per
fected. This canal passed very
nearly along the route of It's mod,
ern successor, entering the Red
Sea near the present town Of
Suez, and was of sufficient depth
and breadth 10 allow of the pas

size. Moreover, it is an historical
fact that in the year 81 =. C..
Cleopatra, after the battle OF Ac-
tium, seeing that the forces OF
Egypt were unable TO resist those
of Rome, attempted to take her
feet through it into the Red Sea,
with the view of escaping into a
distant land, a project which failed
from the hostility of the Arabs.
The channel existed for centuries
after the time of Cleop .tra, La;
became gradually locked up and
obliterated by the then unconquer.

The unarmed Nation.

ternational Peace" was the subject
of a recent address by General
Francis A. Walker, at Smith Col
lege, Northampton. it closed as
follows: "Let US remain as we
are, without weapons of offense or
defense. Let our title be 'The
unarmed Nation For one, while.
respecting the sentiment of those
high officers OF army and navy and
those members OF congressional
committees who feel themselves
responsible for the defensive con-
dition Of the country, and while
entertaining no strong antipathy
to the building of few fast cruis-
ers to carry our flag upon the seas,
| trust never to see a floating
castle, with a twenty-four-inch
plate and hundred-ton guns, built
for the service of the United
States. 1t is, / confess, a new
thought to me, and it may appear
to you, on the first hearing, unusu-
al and vain; vet as have earnest
ly pondered this subject during
the last few months, it has grown
to my view increasingly clear that,
first, the example Of the United
States as an unarmed nation. and.
second, the force OF its industrial
competition, with the vast advant-
ages which immunity from con
scription and armament will give
to the people of this country, as to
the production and distribution of
wealth, are to become powerful
agents in breaking up the war
system of the world. Already
this contemplation of our happier
lot is drawing the more prosperous
and adventurous OF the inhahi-
tants of Europe, a million a wear,
to ourselves. Must not the time
soon come when increasing in
telligence and Strengthening self
confidence on the part of the peo-
pie will lead them to demand that
freedom from conscription and
war taxes be not conditioned upon
expatriation? Be sure the demand
will be made. BE sure when the
demand is made In earnest the
statesmen of Europe will find a
way TO aDate and ia time to abol-
lsh the war system. Will it be
long possible for the nations Of
Europe, unless they can rid them
selves of this incubus. 10 with
stand that competition, as we grow
in numbers and productive power,
and as the facilities OF commun;-
cation and transportation are nul-
tiplied and perfected? cannot
think SO. When we have become
a hundred millions; when our ag-
ricultural production has increased
two-fold; when our manufacturing
production has increased four-fold
all Of which will come to pass
in thirty years-with the improve
ments in transit and traffic rea-
sonably to be anticipated within
the same period, can the effect of
our competitor be less than TO
compel the statesmen OF Europe
to release their peoples shacllles
and the burdens which conscrip-
ton and almost universal arma-
ment impose upon them? And if,
indeed, America shall then con-
tribute to the downfall Of the war
system, will it not prove the great
est of the blessings which the new
world has conferred upon the old?"

named. The logs can be obtained
at less cost than at any other
point. The vessels can be
chartered at less cost to
carry the lumber to any

There is an abundant home de.
mand as well as for export. In
the face of these facts and the
present high price for lumber, il
is strange that there are no mills
