THE plNAM4 PROJECT RETlTED.

The SUSPENSION OF work on the Nicaragua
Canal has been followed by an artificial attempt
to revive the Panama project Capital 10 the
extent Of S13OO0O00 Is to be secured by new
issue Of shares, Of which all but Si,ooo,ooo Is
said TO have been disposed Of by the liqulda'or
among contractors and friends OF the Old enter
prise The machinery. plant and goodwill OF
the bankrupt company are to be turned over
10 the new organization or syndicate. which Is
expected to complete the canal with the aid or
French English and American Investors. The
value OF these assets Is largely hypothetical, ana
the project in its revised form seems to he
either a convenient device for winding up the
laudaton Of the bankrupt concern, or prac-
teal method Of prolOnging indefinitely the new
concession from the Colombian Government
through the payment Of $1,0OOOOO In cash. That
Government would have acted more shrcwdly
II II had allowed the contract to lapse under lin
itations, and taken possession OF the unfinished
work and plant for the purpose OF selling new
concession TO any syndicate offering to complete
the canal.
A capital Of 3d. 900 is insignificant when
the magnitude Of the undertaking Is taken into
consideration. The lowest estimate made by cx-
pcrenced French engineers OF the cost OF finish
ing the canal, with locks and not at sea level. Is
500 600 and there Is no probability that
this vast amount of capital can be secured for
the purpose I'm either Europe or America. The
Panama scandal, with its revelations OF incom-
petence. waste and corruption. has naturally
tended to warn investors that canal spcculations
are runOus. About 100000 was sunk In n

RELIGIOUS md SECULAR JOURNALISM:

three representative secular editors TO tell how,

though out Of modcsiy he never would have

Germany has lost one Of her most iilustrlous
sons and the world at large one OF its most
useful citizens by the death AT Berlin yesterday
Of Professor Hermann Won HemholtZ, whose
name will rank among the foremost scientists
OF the nineteenth century His discoveries range
over the field of optics, acoustics, therapeutics
and physiology. and many Of Them notably the
invention Of the ophthalmometer and OF the
ophthamOscope have proved of incalc,,lablc ser
vice TO his fellow 1reatures. Unlike so many OF
his brother psychologists, who restrict their
sphere Of usefulness 20 investigation and dis
coycry, he sought by every means In his power
to popularize the branches Of science In which
he labored that the masses OF humanity
should reap the fruit of his labors both in
knowledge and In applied results. Nor Is this
the least among his many well-earned titles to
fame.
