Electrolysis OF buried metal pipes, caused
by stray currents froIA electric street rail-
roads, has caused much havoc, and attempts
TO counteract IL are so urgently needed that
engineers and municipal officers generally
should be especially interested in an article
on the subject in the August number OF
Cassier's Magazine telling what means
may be successfully adopted to prevent the
trouble. Mr.. i. III. Farnham, the author OF
the article in question, has, for number OF
years past, made this subject one OF special
study. and his exposition of how the difficulty
should bo dealt with will DO found decidedly
worth reading.

THE BIG DITCH.

The commission sent to inves-
tigate the Nicaragua Canal pro-
ject do not give a glowing report
of existing conditions, and their
report deals the scheme a terrible
blow, as they claim that all pre-
vious rumors and statements
concerning this great undertak
ing are not true statements, that
they are ill advised and hastily
drawn conclusions, which are
not borne out by the existing
facts.
The report is at such variance
with the numerous rumors and
predictions which have from
time to time been published con-
corning it, that it will cause great
surprise and disappointment
among those who have hereto
fore placed eredence in the rumors
which usually stated on the
highest authority that the com
mission favored ti.e route pro-
posed by the company and placed
the cost of the canal at about
$110,000,000. The report shows
that it is neither practicable nor
advisable to attempt the con-
struction of the canal upon the
data at present available and that
the undertaking would be fraught
with hazards too obvious to
disregard.
The commissioner claims that
a final judgement cannot be in
diligently used until exhaustive
and typographical surveys have
been made for not only the con-
struction, but the maintenance of
a.canal across Nicaragua, as to
the feasibility, permanence and
cost, for which the commission
recommends an appropriation by
Congress of $350,o00 for extern
slve additional surveys and eX-
aminations covering a period of
eighteen months.
With the data at hand the
commission makes provisional
estimate OF the cost as $133, Az
S93, or nearly double that of the
maratime canal company's esti-
mate of $69,S93,660.
"The general trend of the entire
report is certainly unfavorable to
the company, and tends to jeopar-
die the chances, and may pos
sibly destroy the hope of a canal
by means of the San Juan River
and Lake Nicaragua.

Against Bicycling.
AZ, FORBES WINsLOW,

!. nR, FORBES WINSLOW,
IL the famous London alien
list, who is attending the sessions
of the Medico-Legal Congress in
New York, expressed himself as
unpompromisingly opposed to
bicycling by women. This is
what he said yesterday
"MY disapprolal of women
using the bicycle is most positive,
No woman should ever be allowed
to exercise in that manner. 1t is
dangerous to l-ealth and it is
injurious to morals.
"Tha physical nature OF woman
is such that bicycle riding
cannot be productive Of aught
but trouble.
"While base my denunoiation
Of the exercise on the demon
STATIONS | have seen of It's effects
! even more strongly condemn
it, use for the sake OF future
generations). | am fearful for
the next generation If this bicycle
craze keeps on, for it is then and
only then that the full effects of
the evil will be absolutely demon
strated to the public. Let US
take only the medical aspect of
the facts, From this point of
view there is every reason to be
fearful of the results Of wheeling.
Horseback riding produces in
women substantially the same
disastrous results and tempta-
tons as does the bicycle, but not
to so marked degree, Abnormal
conditions must be expected to
exist when the causes for their
development are so universally
used. Both exercises are too
violent for the physical construc-
ton of women, and produce such
conditions as to lead to abnormal
appetites and desires. If these
facts are brought so to public
attention now, how much more
attention will they demand in
the next generation?
Moral perversion is alarm
ingly on the increase. No one
who practices medicine, or is
conversant with the criminal re-
cords can dispute that fact. Ihave
no hesitation in condemning for
women all those amusements or
occupations which tend to take
them from the nursery. That is
where woman properly belongs,
and if any effort on her part to
avoid that position, or any par
ticipation in pastimes that are
of nature to unfit her for that
sphere, are such as must lead to
perversion.
VI am in favor Of women taking
exercise sufficient both for the
mind and the body, SO that the
healthful mind may be in the
sound body; but l favor no ex-
ercise for women or for men
which creates All abnormal degree
of excitement which they are not
able to hear.
