The Is hmus anal


About that canal. We had abundant
chance of seeing just how things were
going on. The impression is that if 1t is
ever built il must come under American
control, and most of US think that it must
be built by Americans. At present Il is a
gigantic swindle on those who are furnish
ing the money. The agents there will
pay SIS for days work which could be
done for s.. and then levy the $40 as a
bonus. 1t is so in everything. There
were carloads of machinery which had
never been unpacked, and then the NOR
Islity among the engineers is something

Scintillometric Forecasts

Some time ago the discovery was made
br Mons Oh. Montigny, by means of q
b. utiful instrument called the scintillo
meter. that blue largely predominstes in
the twinkling Of the stars when there is
much water in the atmosphere. and that
the preponderance of green or of violet is
indicative of great dryness. A late series
of tables by this Brussels ssvant indicates
that he has hit upon law by which wet
or dry season may be predicted with
great certainty. Perhaps the best test of
the soundness of his views is found in the
fact that his scintillometric forecasts of
the increasing drought in Belgium of the
years 1883 and 1884 were fulfilled TO the
letter
