Drowning Half a Continent.

When the Panama canal was first pro-
posed a great cry went up that such a
Glitch" would endanger the lives Of mil
lions of human beings. 1t was argued
that the waters on the Pacific side of the
isthmus were hundreds of feet higher
than they We're IN the Atlantic side, and
that the great rush of waters to even up
the difference in the level of the two
oceans would drown out all southern
North America, all the West Indies and
most of Mexico and Yucatan. Would
be engineers and sensational editors
passed their opinions or wrote yards of
scare editorials on the subject. 1t now
turns out that the Atlantic and not the
Pacific is the higher of the two oceans.
and that in place of the difference in
level being hundreds of feet, as had been
affirmed, the surface of the water on the
east side of the isthmus is exactly 61k
feet higher than it is on the western
side.-St. Louis Republic.

Lighthouse Lamp. and Lenses.

In lighthouses there are six orders of
lights, graded according to their inten-
sity. The lamp of the lowest or sixth
order, which consumes only half a gill
of coal oil an hour, gives about as much
light as an ordinary parlor reading
lamp (say 10 candle power, while the
largest or first order lamp, which burns
sixteen gills an hour, gives 45O candle
power of light. But while the naked
fame of the lamp gives this much light,
the French Fresnel lens in which the
lamp is set condeRses and concentrates
this light, SO that it is multiplied in
power many times. Thus the little IL
candle power flame of the sixth order
lamp has in a lens a power of rs candles;
and the great 450 candle power light of
the first order lamp, when placed in its
enormous lens, gives a power of some
IL, 900 candles. Such a lens is 10 feet
high and has a diameter of @ feet

THE MEASURE OF OUR DAYS.

In all our walks, In all our ways,
Think not the measure OF our days
Is gagged by figures and by rules.
As erst was taught US in he schools;
But, as we help abrother's needs
BY noble acts and generous deedAI
By giving comfort where we may.
BY lighting up a mourner's way;
The sum of means that we employ
To turn a fellows Ills to JOY
This Is the measure OF our days
A veteran in the wars OF life,
A prisoned soldier In the strife
OF sou with stingy, envious Time
Is he who makes his actions rhyme
To universal brotherhood
Though long or short hath been his road,
Centuries or decades his abode
Among his kind, 1t matters least
So fellows by him have been blest-
His life is measured by his plan
OF dealing with bis fellow man
This Is The measure Of his days
And much methinks of time he gains.
For all his labors, al his pains,
For reaching outward far and near
To succor want and shelter fear.
No stingy paddock hens him In,
To mean desires and groveling sin.
A widows blessing him avails,
An orphans prayer some good entails.
While stretching outward over man
He converse holds with Natures plan.
And solving LIES deep mysteries,
He grasp eternal verities.
This is the measure OF his days.
