BUILDING The pANAaA CANAL.

DlnieultIes Of the Undertaking. Other
comparatiteIy Lazy Jobt "a
il certainly . i huge Undertaking tc
build a canal with twenty.eight feet Of
water, 100 feet wide at the surface,
through mountains which riso 10 the
height Of 822, as admitted. This canal
has to be built four miles out at sea, in
the harbora Panama. When The Pam
anna railroad was built by the Aspin-
walls, they lad the greatest trouble to
get human labor which could live
through the work. Ccl. Lloyd Aspin-
wall told me several years ago that his
father started with Irishmen, and they
died 50 fast that he became alarmed, and
then tried negroes and Chinese. They
also yielded to the climate. They re-
turned again to the Irish race, and finally
succeeded in laying the railroad after an
incredible amount Of exertion and sac
rifee.
Not more than one-seyenth Of the
canal has been excavated, and some
SIS, 900, 900 has been spent, Of which only
S2S,OOO,OVO were put upon the canal
proper, the charges upon the company at
home and the probable extravagance Of
its projectors amounting to great sum
Of money. It seems that S2S,0OO,OOO
were spent in merely cutting Off the
wood and taking outstumps on the canal
line, French people have put, Of their
earnings, into this enterprise the extra
ordinary amount Of $lSO,OOO,OO0, and
the canal will probably cost at least
S2OO, O,OOOOOO. Tho company is already
anticipating the need Of money, and is
about to borrow S12O,OOO,OOO.
Everybody must desire to see this
great enterprise put through, and II it is
feasible the French will derive their
chief glory on this continent from the
event. The Suez canal was compara-
lively easy job, and it has already
changed the commercial routes and con-
ditions of the world. But there had
been at least two canals across the 18TH
mas of Suez before the French built the
present one. Nature strained her sides
to make an isthmas like that Of Darien
or Panama, but left to man the most her
eulean job he has ever yet set at. The
building of the Chinese wall was merely
a matter Of absolute government oper-
ating upon an extraordinary number Of
subjects, whose task was as simple as

The Dict of working rsnnls.

From a study of the dietaries of factory
and mill operatives, mechanics, and
other people engaged in manual labor in
Massachusetts, and Connecticut, COM
piled by Carroll D. Wright, the most
noticeable features observed were the
large quantities Of food consumed,
especially Of animal food and fats. The
dietaries studied all pointed in one direc-
ton, indicating that in this country a
large excess Of food is consumed, not
only by well.to-do people, but also by
those in moderate circumstances. This
excess consists mainly in meats und
sweetmeats, which are expensive, aswell
as physiologically injurious when con-
