ragua Canal by shortening tho route to
Atlantic ports would not only save the
producer cost Of freight. but the revenue
Of the canal at 50 per ton toll would be
nearly s., 0C0, 900 on wheat alone. It is
shown that there are Sol, 1000, 900 thou

Washington and Oregon to the value Of

The tonnage tributary now to the
Nicaragua Canal, and which would
pass through after it's opening, is over
100000 tons a year. At 50 per ton
the charges made by the Suez Canal
this would be S12,0OO,OO0 in tolls. The
cost of operation and maintenance is
placed at less than S1,O0O,OOO, and
5000, 900 tons would show net income
OF Sill ,OOO,O00 per annum. The COM
mittee is confident that, within five
years, the income will be over 500, 0OO,-
eco.
The committee says it is no longer
question whether the canal will be built
or not. The only question is as to who
shall build it, and who shall control it
when built? It says it has been in
formed that European syndicates have
already made overtures to the canal
company. but the committee believes
the United States cannot afford by care
lessness, hesitation or neglect to permit
an enterprise Of such magnitude and OF
such far reaching advantage to pass
under the control Of any foreign COM
pany. 1T therefore behooves US, the
address concludes, "as nation con-
scious of the power We WELD and of the

that the conventions of the two great

1t appears that all the engineers have
agreed in expressing a decided prefer
ence for the Nicaragua route, because,
among other reasons, only 26f miles of
the entire distance of 1921 miles from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean through
Nicaragua will have to be excavated.
The other 1927 miles consist of Lake

sons for seeding and harvesting than
any part Of the world. and the commit
tee thinks the completion Of the Mica
ragua Canal is only needed to develop
that country to production of gigantic
proportions and double the population
Of the Pacific coast in few years. The
cotton growing sections OF the Gulf
States have undergone depression, and
the committee believe that nothing could
be Of greater immediate advantage than
the canal In relieving that depression,
and making a market for American cot
ton in Japan, China and Corea, where
already the people are beginning to
manufacture cotton goods by machinery.
Japan imported over 100000 pounds
of American cotton in 1891, most Of
which was shipped from New Orleans
to New York and then by rail to Van
couver and steamship to Japan.
At present the coal trade of South
America and the Pacific coast is mon
opolized by the English. The commit
tee thinks that if the Nicaragua Canal
were opened the Alabama and West Vir-
ginia coal would have a decided advan-
tage over English competitors, not to
mention the enormous amounts Of coal
the canal company itself would use.
At the entrance of the Suez Canal last
year 100000 tons of coal was sold.
In competition with England for Pacific
Ocean trade the Nicaragua Canal would
give American commerce an advantage
Of 2,7OO miles, while beside the specific
benefits, the committee thinks great
general benefits will accrue to the en-
tire Mississippi Valley, the lake ports,
and the Atlantic coast Ship building
and the shipping interests in New En-
gland will receive new impetus. A
new cOasting trade will spring up and
American tonnage on the nigh seas will
largely increase.
The committee says that great trans
atlantic powers are looking with
covetous eyes toward the Nicaragua
project and the foreign governments
would very cheerfully and eagerly en-
brace an opportunity to take advantage
of the enterprise with unlimited capital
and prompt energy. but it cOnceives it
to be the patriotic and political privi-
lege of the United States to complete
the canal. The commercial and naval
of the nation which might Sc
cure control of the canal demands i'm
peratively that its control should not
pass away from the people Of the Unit
ed States. 1t is made plain that two fleets
would be required to block an American
fleet in Nicaragua where one would be
necessary elsewhere. AS a foothold
from which to attack or defend, to
threaten or protect all the coasts, ISL

How Patti Took Her Lessons In Private
and Sung In Public.
A Chicago woman tells the follow
ing story of her interview with Patti:
''It was in hotel a good many
years ago. Just how many will not
say, but the diva was a young girl of
perhaps sixteen summers. She was
at the hotel with her sister and
brOther-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Stra-
kOsch. Their rooms were opposite
mine. and in one of these rooms was
a piano where the woman destined to
become the greatest living singer took
her daily lesson. The weather was
warm and the door of the lesson-room
was frequently left ajar. There was
a long pier glass opposite the piano
and between this and the instrument
the black-eyed queen kept up con-
slant pacing to and fro. She was
dressed in some dull material, max
ing strong contrast for her dark
bright face and luminous beautiful
eyes. She sang as she went the con-
ventional 'ah, now running it in ca
dences down to those rich clear bell
like notes tor which she has always
been marvel to artists, and again
tripping lightly from these to the
highest note and ending in soft
bird-like trill, at the same time bal
ancing herself on chair, pulling at
her long braids of raven hair and
looking at the reflection in the great
mirror before her, in dreamy, un-
conscious sort of way.
'.Her teacher was evidently accus-
toned to this seemingly unusual
method Of receiving a lesson, for he
played on while she went through all
these perorations, only looking up
when he struck new chord or exer-
else to see if she caught up the re-
frain. She seldom needed correcting
and one could almost see in the man.
ner Of her tutor that he realized how
great and godlike a gift had been be-
slowed by nature upon this young
girl. So she was bound by no conven-
tional rules as another child might
have been, but was allowed to roam
about the great room at will imbib-
ing the necessary musical discipline
in an unconscious and perfectly
natural manner.

sing in great hall where there was
a vast throng. She stood on the
stage before the baton of her teacher,

fectly natural and unconscious man.

The Goodness of Space.

We rarely realize how easily the
earth parts with it's heat, and how
cold space is through which the earth
sweeps in its orbit. Nor do we CON-
monty appreciate how relentlessly
space sucks away the heat which the
earth has garnered from the sunbeams
out into its iIlimitable depths Away
out in space is cold so intense that
we fairly fail to grasp its meaning.
Perhaps 800 or 400 degrees below the
freezing point of water, some philoso-
pliers think, are the dark recesses
beyond our atmosphere. And night
and day, summer and winter, this in
satiate space is robbing us of our
heat, and fighting with demoniac
power to reduce our globe to its own
bitter chill.
$50, after all, our summer and
winter temperatures are only main
taiped by the residue of the suns
heat which we have been able to store
up and keep hold of in spite of the
Ditiless demands Of space. Our mar
gin sometimes gets so reduced on
nights in winter that we can readily
believe the astronomers and physicists
when they tell us that a reduction of
the suns heat by per cent. and a
Slight increase in the number Of
winter DAYS would suffice to bring
again to eur hemisphere new age Of
ice, with its inevitable desola ton.
The balance is really nice one be-
tween the heat we daily gather from
the sun and the share Of it which wa

a charming little anecdote of Mr..
BrOwning's courtesy is told in Temple
Bar. On one Ocrasion Mr.. Brown
ing's son had hired a room in a neigh
boring house in which to exhibit his
pictures, and during the temporary
absence of the artist Mr.. Browning
was doing the hcnors to a rOOmful OF
fashionable friends. He was stand
ing near the door when an unan-
nounced visitor made her appearance.
Mr.. Browning Immediately shook
hands with her, when she exclaimed:
~Oh, l beg your pardon, but please,

me to come and see hts pictures.

feet at its deepest points. Vessels en-
tering the canal from the Atlantic Ocean
will sail on level with the ocean for
123 miles. at the end of which they will
be raised by three locks to the level Of

Juan River and the lake on the lake

Cost Of the Canal.
The committee says the cost. includ-
ing the payment Of interest during the
progress of the work, will be less than
500, OO0, 900, and the time required for
the completion of the work is within five
years. The climate Of Nicaragua is
healthy, and out of 1000 Northern men
employed in constructing a railroad
through a swamp only two died during a
period of four months. OF 200 North
