THE NTCARAGUA CANAL

The collapse of the Panama canal company scheme. Unlike the Panama scheme this can easily be carried out and the prospect that it will pay is good. Captain J. W. Miller, who has carefully studied the matter, estimates that the traffic of the canal from the time of the opening would be not far from seven million tons year, and that it would yield at the outset an annual revenue of six per cent. upon a capital of two hundred millions, which is nearly three times the estimated cost of the work He believes that by the con- struction of this waterway we should be able to control over one-hslf the ocean tonnage of the world and develop continuous coast line of eight thousand miles from Maine to Behring Strait, to which the steamers of the the internal rivers would be tributary. Our Pacific ports are now thirteen thousand and fourteen thousand miles away from us by sea, and San Francisco is twenty-t1y hundred miles nearer to Europe than to us. The canal would reverse the conditions and put Europe twenty-five hundred miles further away from San Francisco than we should be and would
 
 from forty-fve to ffty-fve hundred miles, What that would mean to us and what 1t would mean to the development of our far western territory need scarcely be said.
 The canal wonld make great change on the Pacific coast. San Francisco owns more and larger ships to-day than ever before. Portland, Oregon, owns seventy-three vessels and showed last year domestic exports of nine million dollars and foreign of five millions. The foreign and coastwise exports from the Puget Sound district last year reached to nine million dollars. The salmon canneries of the Northwest coast shipped million and half cases. Eastern Oregon and Washington have doubled their wheat acreage and product within ten years and have enough vacant wheat land 10 do the same within the next azuras1o. IneIr IumDer snIpmsnrs Juupeo from yearly total of six million feet in 1886 to an average of four million 8 month in 1887. Oregon has twenty-five thousand square miles of timber land and Washington twen- ty thousand square miles of yellow and red fir alone. "The wheat, lumber, fish, wool, furs and other commodities of the Pacific Northwest" says Captain Miller, twill be provided to commerce in increasing quanti- ties and with greater profit to the producers when cheap water transportation is at hand to convey them promptly to the worlds mar kets"

 Old Crow is prohibited in Maine, but crows have become so abundant in that State that it is estimated that they cost the State $1t 0,000 a year in corn, potatoes. young chickens, fruit, grain and the like. The next legislature will be asked to pass law giving bounty of ten cents for every dead crow. A captive military balloon has been suc- cessfully tested at Paris.

Children fed like this will no learn much. There is a society in London formed for the purpose of feeding schoo children, but this, as charitable work, cal hardly be comprehensive enough to cover tn entire ground. How little the expense is ma. be judged when i5 is said that good, whole some dinners have been provided for poo school children at the rate of 137 dinners fo

Real estate in Brooklyn on which there is arrears in taxes of years standing, no mat ter how small the amount due, can be sold privately. The man bidding it of can then demand 10 per cent. of it's purchase price from the owner at once, or 15 per cent. if he delays year. The arrears office is separate from the tax collectors, and real estate owner who supposed the taxes on his proper ty had been paid was astonished the other day
