TAYLoR's NICARAGUA oAYA1 PAN.
He Proposes 10 Have the Waterway Built
by the People Of the United States.

Commander II. 9. Taylor. Of the United
States Navy who has just returned from
Spain. where he went on 4 diplomatic
errand for the Government. has sub
mitted TO the directory Of the Nicaragua
Canal Company a plan looking TO the
early Inauguration and completion OF the
enterprise. The commander was form arly
vice-president ana general manager Of
the canal. but has not been actively con-
nected with the enterprise since 1880.
The plan" he said yesterday at the
University Club, IFS nothing more or
less than the building Of the great water
way by the people Of the United States
themselves in their individual capacities
as investors and capitalists and not
through the action of their legislatures
or money centres.
"The two great works-prelminary
works, ! should say-in connection with
the canal are naturally the raising or
the money with which 10 build the canal
and the adoption Of some system by
which this money can be directly and
properly spent
LAS 10 raising the money We can show
10 the inquiringj public that when built
the canal will have net revenue OF
100000 a year with net expenses or
$1,000 900 TO operate IL, and considering
that we can show such profitable returns

propaganda which will include the whole

Where are the false prophets who came
forth from Paris crying alack and adayl
Hoop skirts in swelling horrors were the
burden Of their songs. but their voices
have been drowned by an indignant
chorus OF shriller feminine protests, and
they have gone TO the fate OF all Cas-
sandras. But II behooves us TO listen
20 wise words from the conservative con-
tingent on the actual condition or our
skirts For out OF door gowns, simple house
dresses and utility costumes skirt trim
mings are becoming more and more mod
crate, and the breadth of the skirts them
selves are even less. But for girls dane
ing frocks and matrons' gowns for the
summer evening campaigns we are going
to fulfill some Of the wilder prophecies.
Half n dozen instances win suffice.
A brides reception gown is Of wavy
duchesse satin. Upon the skirt is a
deep founce Of satin and a broad foot
ruching OF chiffon. The founce is edged
with guipure. A girls frock Of Titan
blue silk is cascaded 20 the knees with
deep chiffon rufles. each one Of which is
weighted with n ruche Of blue silk. The
uppermost hounce Is half buried beneath
a shower Of lilies Of the valley.
An imposing structure for leader OF
fashion, who "dotes on Oddities" IS in
black satin duchesse trimmed TO the
waist with three graduated rufies OF
ecru lace. Not an oddly" however,
for the black and white craze is at its
height Another dashy gown Is trimmed
nightly with lace and ribbon bows and
dropping roses depending therefrom from
hem TO waist line. Worthy Of more de-
tail is a light grenadine OF yellow. Five
panels Of figured tahfeta in blue and
mauve are let into the skirt nearly 10
the waist Big knots Of taffeta are drop
ped at the junction Of each gore with
the body OF the skirt The waist fits
closely except where the bust drapery
spreads into pretty fullness. A taffeta
bow at the left Of the waist and another
on the edge OF the decolletage near the
right shoulder accents the right OF the
gown to distinction without its novel
cores.
A bertha Of taHeta instead Of lace IS
another queer item. The sleeves are
mere short puffs. 20 be met by yellow
gloves Of the hue OF the waist.

The undersigned who were duly chosen

NOW TO AVOID CHOLERA.

The reports OF cholera in Asia and at
come European ports have been expected.
but in the opinion OF the Anne
rican Medical Association, recent
" in session at Milwaukee. that
fact OF itself is a matter Of little
consequence TO the people OF the United
States. The association indorsed the
oplnion OF DR.. Ernest Hart, the highest
authority in Europe on contagious d.
seases. that cholera is a filth disease,
propagated by infected water. 1t thinks
therefore, by proper precauion, there
Is no reasonable ground for anticipating
the appearance Of the disease In this
country and while a case. or several
cases. may escape the surveillance Of
the quarantine authorities, 1t will mean
nothing more than a detention Of travel,
&c. at the port at which the cases have
appeared.
The American Medical Association have
had DR.. Harris sanitary regulations
printed and distributed throughout the
United States and Canada, so that they
may be in the possession Of every medi-
cal official in those two countries. Ac-
cordlng TO them, cholera is purely filth
disease and not a contagion, and cleanli-
ness will always render a locality free
from it's invasion. This is shown by the
experience Of England last year, since,
although that country had no quaran-
tine. II suffered no visitation from the
dread disease. and It IS, therefore, con-
tended that we enjoy still less danger
from It. in view Of the ample prepara-
lions which have been made at the port
Of New York to prevent it from getting
the slightest foothold in the country.
sim this will not, in the smallest de-
gree. decrease the responsibility of all
the municipal officers of every city in
the country, and especially in cities and
towns on the seaboard. or accessible
thereto. Cleanliness is the only absolute
safeguard against cholera, and wherever
energy in the way of cleaning up is
abated. the danger Of visitation increases
IN proportion. The health and sanitary
officers Of Richmond should pay careful
attention to this fact. Everything like
filth should be removed from our streets,
alleys and houses, and we have large
class among our population which rem
ders 1t particularly necessary that this
matter Of cleanliness should be never
forgotten OF overlooked II our city is
kept free from filth. we will be in no
danger but. II not. the atmosphere may
become so laden with noxious particles
that. should the disease come it would
be like applying a match to powder
magazine.

A great many people have read Jules
Verne's Eighty Thousand Leagues under
the Sea" who have always believed that
/, was wholly a work Of the authors i'm
agination. and the idea that it could
ever turn out 10 be anything but the
most impossible fiction was never i'm
.ssined. The following reads as If it
were something more:
Some interesting experiments were
made a few days ago at Civita Vecchia,
the seaport of Rome, with submarine
vessel invented by SignoT Baisamello, an
Italian engineer, which he calls balla
nautica. on account Of its spherical shape.
In its interior there is room for machln-
erv which IL said to be able 10 propel'
steer sink and raise the vessel 10 the sur
face with perfect ease. Moreover the
craft IL fitted with lenses enabling those
IN the interior not only TO see their way,
hut to perceive submerged objects at a
considerable distance. The experiments
were held by order OF the minister OF
marine and the minister Of war, whose
representatives were present, as well az
several engineers Of the civil and mill
tary corps, and members Of parliament.
The trial was successful, although the
sea was rough. Notwithstanding the fact
that the vessel Is round. she can be pro-
PEELED I'm a straight line. and turned at
will Iron weights were thrown into the
sea, and the vessel sank after them and
by means Of grapnels brought them back
10 the surface. Several engineers who
were in the ball during the experiments
expressed the belief that the machine
is well adapted for recovering treasures
from the bottom Of the sea- and that II
may prove a valuable engine Of war
fare"
This looks as II very little more were
needed to make Captain Memo and his
Nautilus veritable realities.
