Tho "TiacaT" Prayer Book.

Thirty-fvc CT forty years ago some one issued the famous Thumb Bible, $ So called because it was scarcely larger than the first pint of the thumb. Now IIr. Frowdc, of Oxford, England, is out v-ith marvellous littlo book, which has been dubbed The Finger Prayer Book" This tiny volume has 700 pages and i5 boCnd in morocco and velvet, with br2ss clasps. It weighs less than tllrcc-qu2rtcrs of an ounce, is only inch in breadth, 3l5 inches in length and onc-thirJl of an inch in thickness. It is difficult for enc to believe that q book of 700 pages could be made thin enough to conveniently go into a com non pocket purgc, but this is what MT. FrOwdc has achieved in his Finger Prayer Book" It is marvel in paper nal-inC, and one of which the author, the papcrnal-cr and the printer arc justly proud. A copy of it bound in silver with gold clasps wlll be exhibited at the world'S fair.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Gradually Falling Into Decay by the
 EEashinrs Of the Tropical Floods.

Gradually Falling Into Decay by the
 Washings of the Tropical Floods.
 C It is very sad-I use the word advised ly-tO sec the present dcsolate condition of the works, says L. H. Seymour in the Nineteenth Century. and, as have be- fore said, the. large quantity of plant dctcriCrating; also the num- bcrles3 hCuSc5 fer labOrcrs (nav, vil- lagcS, cven}. once tccrcing with human life, and now empty and silent. If the work had been completed and tri- urnphant these would only speak of manly toll well directed by great fore thought, care, skill and intelligence; of a high courage that had vvarrcd against . deadly climate and long and frequent pcStilcnces, and of Q perseverance and energy thGf had resisted the cnervating and dcnoralizing effects of life in tropical and often mar5hy jungle, till all thc5c had dcscrvc1ly led to success. But GlaS, the true picture is far differ cnt. About eighteen and half miles of the canal are actually cut to their full width at the ocean level water line, and fer about half that distance the officials assured ne they had been dug down to the full depth of twcnty-nine feet, thOugh, since the works ceased at the end of 1889, no doubt much earth has been washed in again. Of these eighteen and a half miles thirteen and half are at the Atlantic and five at the Pacific end. Inavigated all these waters ia steam or pulling boats, when to the eve the canal in many ports ap- Pc2rcd as if finished. Of the mighty Culcbra cutting the least reduction in height is 2bout sixty feet. but in some places it Ia5 been cut down for over one hundred feet in depth. The course of the cclcl i5 m2rl-cd out throughout its length. and, generally, I should say, not less than ten to thirty feet of cut ting made, but the tropical vegetation is quickly sprinTing up, and railroad roll ing stock and other plant are in places nearly hidden by jungle. The nearest estimate l could form from visiting the canal works ard talking to the people Cn the spot about the proportion of york dCEC vas that GS an approach to the ErSt intcnfiCn-viz.. an ocean level ccncl-nCt ncrc than ere fifth was ac- ccnPlic,,cd. leaving entirely out of con- sidCraticn tl,c question of damming and dealing with the Chagres river and it. floods; but that, supposing the lake scheme were found quite feasible, the result arrived at in 1889 might equal onc-third of the whole ct the most fa- vcr2blc estimate. But it must be re- ncInbcrcd that every month now the canal works are going backward from the ordinary process of nature, which is oSnociol1v acfivo in .bo +g,,;.S
