stopped to pick a mushroom which she
examined carefully and put into her

Three hours later a party of police

creeping property of certain salts is a
very interesting-a sometimes very
annoying-one to the chemist. Am
monic chloride, or sal ammonIac, pos
sesses it in high degree, and it may
often be observed i1crusting the edges
of electric batteries, in which its solu-

may be prevented by covering the
edges of the vessel containing 1t with
grease, wax or paraffin.

to be the patriotic and political privi-
lege of the United States to complete
the canal. The commercial and naval
supremacy 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

would be required to block an American
fleet in Nicaragua where one would be

The committee appointed by the
Iational Nicaragua Canal Conven-
tion at its meeting in st Louis,
to prepare an address to the Amer
lean people giving information as
to the feasibility Of the Nicaragua
canal and its commercial and other ad-
vantages to the United States, has just
finished the preparation of such ad-
dress. The committee is composed Of
John s. Jones, of Arkansas; Con
gressman Converse, of Ohio; R. W. MIL

sippi; Capt J. +. Merry, of Manchester.

Snow, President OF the New York Board

Governor John S. Pillsbury, of Mime

The address is supplementary to the
resolutions adopted 10y the st. Louis
convention. which pointed out the ad-
vantages of the canal and urged its con-
struction. ownership and control by the
American people rather than the Eng
lish, French or any other nation. 1t
takes the position that canal, joining
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, shou d
be constructed for the most important
commercial, strategic and patriotic rea-
sons. and says that the subject of such
a canal is the most vital connected with
the welfare, growth and prosperity OF
the United States. 1t declares that the

The wheat crop OF the Pacific coast in
1891 was over l. 500, 900 tons and 81 PEE
cent. OF the wheat was exported by sail
ing vessels and large proportion OF it
passed around the Horn. The Mica
ragua Canal by shortening the 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 So. .oCO 900 on wheat alone. 1t is
shown that there are so 900, 900 thou

of which over 81 per thousand feet

that the conventions OF the two great
political parties have indorsed the
project.
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 16 J miles from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean through
Nicaragua will have to be excavated
The other 1929 miles consist of Lake
Nicaragua, the San Juan River, and de-

Lake Nicaragua will constitute a harbor
sufficient to accommodate the navies
and commerce of the world. 1t is 10
miles long, so miles wide. and is $50
feet at its deepest points. Vessels en-
tering the canal from the Atlantic Ocean
will sail on level with the ocean for
I2f miles, at the end of which they will
be raised by three locks to the level OF
the lake. They will sail along the san
Juan River and the lake on the lake
level to point within 81 miles of the
Pacific Ocean. Here they will be low
