The lovely eyes of Miss Garside fell

filled the silence with thrilling elo-

par ed lips grateful perfume that in

THE PANAMA CANAL,

Lieutenant Rogers Pred cts the Ultimate
Completion of the Great Work.
No exact estimate of the time and
money required to finish the canal can
be made, as much of the data needed
is unknown. NJ Charles de Lesseps
said to me: I'm two years the cana
win be finished from Colon to kilometer
fortv-fonr, and from La Boca to
Paraiso. As to the Culebra, / leave
you to form your own conclusions. 1t
is great and difficult work. "
1t is evident that the rate Of excava-
ton in work OF such magnitude must
be small until the plant is complete; it
is equally true that more work can be
done in given time with u complete
installation than with one of less size
Hence it is false reasoning to conclude
that if 100000 cubic meters are
excavated in five years, it will require
twelve years to extract the remaining
$4,000, O0O That such reasoning is
absurd is shown by the cube of last
year, which was 11,727, 900 cubic
meters. At this rate it would require
about seven years to complete the
canal. 1t is not probable that this
rate will be exceeded materially for
year or more.
Keeping in mind the sum already ex-
pended, and the purposes to which it
was applied, it is unreaso liable to pre-
sumo that the final cost of the canal
will be less than 100000, 900 francs,
or about 1875, 100000. These figures
are now acknowledged by the COM
pany; but owing to the great sacrifice
at which the loans are obtained, the
liabilities of the company will be nearly
double this amount
Any views concerning the compile
ton of the canal by the present COM
pany must be conjectural; but if the
present loan be expended with economy
the results will enhance the prospects
of success.
At Colon there were many residents
and foreigners not interested in the
canal. The most bitter opponents of
the enterprise were Americans and
Englishmen, or former employees OF the
company who had been discharged or
had similar grievance. But from all
sources there was free admission that
the company has both brains and
energy. that the canal presents no in
superable obstacles. and that its COM
pletion is question of time and money.

''There are only ten persons in q
thousand who, when they hear strange

said one of the detectives of q private
agency. This is the most absolute
piece Of folly a sane person can COM

let me tell you that when you hear any
noise that indicates the presence in
your house of person who has no
business there, first take the precaution
to put out the light Then. if YOU want
to search do SO in the dark. OF course
you know the house better than any
intruder, and the chances are that if
YOU keep quiet the intruder will expose
himself either by showing a light or
stumbling over something. Then you
have the advantage OF knowing his po-
sition without his knowing yours.
