Vicomte Ferdinand de Lesseps, the aged
diplomatist and engineer who has thus unex-
pectedly been sentenced to end in ignominy q
career which has been honorably famous for
half century,. is now IS years of age, hav-
ing been born November 10, 1905. His
public career began when in 1928 he was
appointed attacbe to the French CON-
sulate at Lisbon. After holding various con-
sular ofices in Europe and the east, he was
made consul at Barcelona in 1872, during the
bombardment Of which town he zealously de-
voted himself to protecting French life and
property, besides afTording an asylum TO Span
isrds and others on board French vessels.
De LeSseps' fame has always rested chiefly
on his successful project for building the
Suez canal, and this honor will always
remain to him. 1t was in 1884, when In
Egypt on a visit to Mehemet Said. that
he opened the project to that dignitary. As
result NJ De Lesseps received . frman
sanctioning the enterprise in the same year, and
a letter of concession was granted by the
viceroy OF Egypt in 1850 The work was be-
gun soon after the company Was constituted
in 1859. A canal with suficient water to
permit the passage OF steamboats, was opened
August Is. 1865. BY degrees, owing to the en-
plOyment of gigantic dredges and a novel
system Of machines, the bed Of the canal was
enlarged 50 that small ships and schooners
were able TO pass through in March, 1867. At
last the canal was formally spened November

Schaeffer's restaurant was thronged

panic prevailed, and everybody
made a rush to get through
the only place of egress, a
narrow passage way. This was soon
blocked by a struggling mass of people.
Women shrielxed and tainted. and even
men were helpless in the frantic strug-
gle. Those who fell were imme-
diately closed upon and the life crushed
out. of them, and others were
fatally jlmmed against the walls.
When at length order was restored and
the people brought back to their senses
1t was found that eight persons had
been killed in the panic and three
others severely and perhaps fatally In
jured. The fire which had caused the
panic was comparatively slight one.

Professor Schaeberle Believes He Haa
Proven His Theory.

ProfesSOp Schaeberie Believes He Has
Proven His Theory.
New YORK, July 5.-Professor J.
M. Schaeberle of the Lick observatory
arrived here on the Pacific mail steamer
City Of Para from trip which, iftsken
in one direction, would extend half way
around the earth, for the sake Of prov.
ing a theory which he had about the
cause Of the corona Of the sun as It APP
pears during total eclipse, and he had
the satisfaction of knowing that his for
mer beliefs had been substantiated.
Further than this, he had taken the
largest photographs which have ever
been taken Of an eclipse of the sup and
had secured details of the formation Of
the corona which are more full than
any which have hitherto been secured.
Professor Schaeberle's theory, he
went to South America to prove by the
eclipse Of The sun April 16, was that the
beautiful corona, which appears every
time there is total eclipse of the sun,
was caused by the fact that the sun was
covered with immense volcanoes which
continually belch forth great masses Of
molten material, which the sun drew
back to it with a speed which could not
be realized.
He believes that he has settled the
question, and if so he has done good
deal for science. This is the first time
that accurate or satisfactory informa-
ton has been printed about what Pro-
fessor Schaeberle really accomplishe
