A Georgia scientist is in tremendous
scare at the climatic changes to result
from the opening of the Panama Canal.
The Pacific, he says, is twenty eight feet
higher and twenty degrees colder than the
Atlantic. The turning of the waters of
the former into the latter will change the
current of the Gulf Stream, and so lower
the temperature as to wipe out the cotton
and rice industries. The attention of the
nervous savant is called to the fact that
competent engineers some years ago ex-
ploded the old myth regarding the differ
ence in level between the two seas.

The amount asked for the Gordon statue
| (E4 ,000) is large--twice as much as was voted
for the statue of Lord Beaconsfeld. 1t is be-
lieved that the reason for this it that the pc
destal Of statue to be placed III Trafalgar
| Square must be peculiarly massive. tits also
supposed that the sum includes the consider
able cost of removing the Napier statue TO the
center of the square and the erection of the
Gordon statue in its place. Mr.. Boehm's model
| for the Wellington statue to be set up at Hyde
Park Corner is now finished, and is very
spirited and admirable. The sculptor has, in
regard to the horse, endeavored to model from

her in New York, soon after his arrival and
before he left the States they were engaged to
be married. Lady COleridge brings a good
round fortune to her husband.
