Two Canal Projects.

There are two great transportation
undertakings engaging a good share OF
the attention Of the American public at
the present time. One is the Nicaragua
canal across the isthmus and the other
is the proposed ship canal from the
great lakes to the Atlantic ocean. Con-
gress has made provision for a scientific
investigation of these W great com
mercial problems
The Nicaragua canal has been resur-
veyed, and the result will be reported
to congress in December. The president
is now considering the appointment Of
a commission to consider and report up
on the feasibility and route Of a deep
water channel from tho lakes to the sea
board. and it is said that that is n Of
the questions that Secretary Lamont
went to Gray Gables to SEQ him about.

The demand on gold will rise and fall
as the markets for gold alternately loosen
and tighten. Prices Of property will rise

at intervals resuscitate tho patient and
hold out a deceptive promise Of improve

Each time . government gold loan is
made with, say, the R~othsohilds behind

: A CENSUS.
Curious Statistics In an English Free
thinkers Magazine as to the Number OF
Souls Saved and Lost Since the Days OF
Father Adam.

Father Adam.
In a late edition of an English Free
thinkers magazine we find some curl
Gus statistics on the relative number Of
souls that have been saved and lost since
She creation of the world. They are very
faulty as we'll as rashly presumptive
tthis latter remark refers to the proba-
BILE number of souls lost between the
date of the birth of Adam and that of
Christ), but are queer and interesting
nevertheless. The following is a svnop-
sis of the article:
In round numbers the earth has q
population Of 1900, 900, 900, of whom
300, 900, 900 are professed Christians,
the other 1000, 900. 900 being Moham-
medans, Buddhists, Jews, pagans and
heathens. The whole race was con-
demned to eternal punishment for the
sin Of Adam. This was the fall Of man,
and for which there was and is no re-
demption save through the death Of
=. Christ. w.,
Biblical chronology gives the earth a
period of 5000 years. From Adams
time down to the date Of the birth Of
Christ was 1000 years, during which
time oil human souls were lost. The
population Of the globe during that
1000 years averaged, we will say. l,0O0.-
600, 600. Three generations. or 5000.
900, 900, passed away each century.
Forty centuries. therefore, consigned
100, 900. 600. 900 human souls to eternal
fire, aud, if we are to believe tho doc.
trine Of eternal punishment, these souls
must still be in hell. In the 1000 years
which have elapsed since the birth Of
Christ 81. 900. 000, 900 more Of human
beings have lived and died. If all the
Christians, nominal and real, who have
ever lived on the face Of the earth have
been saved, they would not numbe,
more than 10. 900, 900, 600.
Now, if we deduct the latter numbe,
from the grand total Of III. 900, 900. 900,
the number which have been born since
the creation, we find that l59, 600. 900,
900 of souls are now suffering the tor
ments of hell fire against a possible IS,
900, 900. 900 who have escaped. But thi'
is not the whole truth. No one believe
that over 10 per cent Of protested Chris
,tians are really such. The Calvinist
say that the elect are very few. Sa,
that 10 per cent Of the 10 called Chris
tians have been saved. which is YER
doubtful, then heaven contains a popu
lation of less than 800, 600, 900, Will
