The Panama Canal.

The EcOnOmiste Franchise recently
contained an article concerning De
Lessep's Panama Canal estimates on
the authority of Paul Leroy Beau
lieu. He says the lowest figure that
would pay interest charges and ex
penses and allow per cent. on the
stock would be 215.000000 francs per
year; that in 1886 the SuOz Canal,
seventeen years after it was opened,
had total receipts of less than 60,00O,-
600 francs, and, therefore, it is ridicu-
lous tc claim that the Panama Canal
could be reasonably expected to pay,
or possibly could pay 200,0O0,00O
francs He estimates that the
Pacific coast could furnish ton
mage approximately of 2,500,000 and
that the commerce of Asia and China
would add 100000 tons. He esti-
mates the probable income from the
lock-canal between 100000 and 35,-
100000 francs. He thinks it possible,
however, by heroic reduction in sx-
penses that the lock-eanal could be
completed for 1,100,000,0O0 francs,
and proposes as part of the scheme
that America, England, Germany and
France shall provide a collective
guaranty of 3 per cent. interest for
the money yet to be borrowed. The
amount to be guaranteed would be
from 100000 to 35,000,000 francs

A Lady's Experience of Dakota's
Snow-storms.

Il arrived here on the Goth in an
awful blizzard, which began shortly
after we left Milwaukee. The cold
was so intense that the carriage win
dows were frozen over, and nothing
could be seen of the surrounding
country. At one station l got out to
get some hot coffee, but, cold and
hungry as l was, preferred to suf-
fer these rather than face the wind
for couple of hundred yards. We
landed here in such storm as you
could not picture TO yourself, try ever
so hard. The next train that came
was showed up, SO it was a good
thing we got in in time. 1t has been
a constant blizzard ever since. We
were showed up with six feet of snow
in front and eight at the back, and in
some places there are ten. How
would you like that? We have to
make mole through the heap each
time we want to get out. The roof
and walls of our bed rooms are cover
ed every morning with sheet of ice,
and / sweep two dust panfuls of
snow off the walls of each room every
morning. When I get up in the
morning my feet stick to the quilt
lying above us-in fact, everything
one touches sticks to ones hands.
The water pail freezes solid. Just
fancy having half an OK in the house
without being able to get a bit of it;
it cannot be cut, even with saw. It
is simply solid piece of ice. The

snow this morning which had blown
through the crevices. 1t is SO fine
that It Sits through everything.

THE AMERICAN BABYLON SINKING.

l LIE A4uGhASAN DAO1bON S4Nh4NNs
At the Academy of Sciences, Col
umbia College, Feb. Goth, Professor
d. S. Martin read a paper on the
geology of New York and its environs.
After showing in outline the forma-
ton of gneiss with the forms of rock
on Manhattan island, he traced the
rock in its course to the north, and
in course the trap rock on the New
Jersey shore Both show a trace of
corrosion from the glacial period.
Previous to that period, the lecturer
continued, this island was long,
rocky promontory, stretching down to
a plain occupied by the present site
ON New York bay. The rocks on the
islands are higher than the Palisades
row are, and the Palisades rose to a
height of 700 feet. A river flowing
from the center of New England
passed through the bed of East river
and united the bay with the Hudson,
which flows into the ocean nearly one
hundred miles further south. The
corrosion and drift of the glacial
period has changed the landscape,
and the sinking Of the plain has made
the harbor of New York. The sub
sidence still continues, and along the
New Jersey shore the sea is steadily
climbing upon the cliffs. In 100 years
the advance has been perceptible,
and in 1000 years it will be more SO.
Thus the metropolis of the western
world may be seen approaching a
period when it will find rest once
more from its fever beneath the
waters of the Atlantic.
THE AWFUL AVALANCHE.
Particulars have been received at
Portland, Oregon, of snowslide on
the Upper Wenatchee, Washington
Territory, resulting in the death of
two persons. James Brisky lives
near Wenatchee, and on the day of
the fatal slide Mrs. Brisky, two small
children and Rev. J. Biggs were in
the house. Brisky himself was
short distance away chopping wood.
While so engaged some men near by
shouted out to him, pointing out at
the same instant a mass of moving
snow and trees. Brisky sprang for
ward, rushing toward the house. He
was caught in the avalanche. buried
to his knees and carried across the
gulch, narrowly escaping a fearful
death. The house was buried and
swept some distance. 10th Mrs.
Brisky and Rev. Mr.. BiEgs were
crushed to death in an instant.
Strange to say, the children escaped
without the slightest injuries, some
timbers of the house being so crossed
as to screen them. The snow YVES
about ten feet deep. The bodies OF
the victims were recovered and the
two children soon rescued.

Killed BY Electricity.

Issac Morton, coiored employee
on the New York Central vestibule
train between New York and Buffa-
10, N. Y, was killed by electricity,
in Buffalo, early Sunday morning.
Robert Taylor was driving dsliv-
cry wagon down Michigan street.
Near Eagle street the horse sudden
liz fell to the pavement. Taylor ap-
Piled the whip, and received an cleo
trio shock which made him unconsci-
GUS. Morton saw the incident and
went to the young mans assistance.
Taylor quickly regainsd bis senses,
and Morton, who Was = large, pow
erful man, then took hold OF the
horse, supposing it was alive, but as
he did so, an unearthly shrek rent
the air, and he fell dying on the ami
NAL. Policeman Haley and Hennes-
sy dragged Morton from the horse,
receiving slight shocks, and took him
to drug store on the corner. The
doctors think that Morton received
the shock through the horse, for both
hands were burned, indicating that
the circuit had passed through his
body in that way. 1t was found that
telephone wire, broken by the
weight of wet snow, had crossed a
Brush electric light wire and had
fallen to the pavement. The horse,
coming in contact with it, received
the fatal shock. Morton's death was
almost instantaneous. His watch,
keys, money and knife were highly
magnetized. He leaves wife and
two children. Taylor win recover.
