yentional area measuring a Spanish
eague on each side, and measuring near
Iy 4.5OO acres. The total ditching called
for under the plan included the main ca
al of thirty-nine miles, the first and Sec
nd branch canals, respectively, OF htteen
and thirteen miles; twenty-nine miles of
transverse canals, fifty miles of parallel
bitches. and 400 miles of distributing
bitches. The total excavation called for
was about 100000 cubic yards for the
main canal and for all the other canals
and bitches on the first section about B.
100000 cubic yards. The first section in
volved ninety square miles. From 2,OOO
to 5000 poems were employed on the
work, and a little over year was occu-
pied in digging the main canal For twen-
ty-fiye miles of the distance all the water
required for the laborers, as well as the
animals, as well as all Of the supplies,
had to be taken on mule back over the
wild waste. Most Of the excavation was
done in Mexican "tepetate," which is an
indurated clay, soft stone that forms
a consistent and permanent bank for
bitches. The "tepetate" prevails in all
portions of the country, hence the i'm
mense bitches were dug at comparatively
small cost in preference to the tubing or
piping of water. About twenty-five miles
from the river the ground dropped off
apidly in the direction the canal was
aking, and the grade was increased for
precautiOn sake eight feet to the mile.
About half way down it's length the ca
nal cut the line Of the Mexican Central
Railroad, and bridge was necessary.
The intake of the canal on the river was
built Of masonry with massive walls. The
gates are ten in number, each six feet
wide, and their framework in iron. The

When Charlemagne forbade wagel of battle among the Lonbards, be ell countered the fereest opposition from the nobles Early i'll the ninth century De Medicis, a knight, defeated in single combat the bandit Mugel, whode}astat- cd the FI0rentine district now called after him, Mugello. 0tho II granted tho prayer of the nobility for the re- establishment of wager of battle in 988 Women and priests were not compelled to accept #. The N0lmans showed less gallantTy With them a woman had to accept, nor could she name champion Her male opponent, however, was buried to his waist iu the earth Armed with q club, he tried to strike her as she cir cled around him, his weapon being a ball of iron at the end of q cord If he failed to touch her at tie third attempt, he was yanquished, which meant to him death with dishonor.

 Tue most interesting subject Senator Haona has to.contend with now. is blazing the route back to the Senate. Bsferes he was fight ing for the syadieates and trusts through a national campaign, but now it.is a combat for one United States Senator, and while he has found rough road, it is only a question with him of getting money enough for his own election. 1T the funds can be raised, he will get there, because that is in keeping with the order of things now. The coal strike is a grivoas rock in his way. Mckinley may have brought prosperity to some, built is evident that the Ohio miner. who is also a voter, has not been blessed by his election, and he is unwilling further to worN on promises, while his family ssuffering for the necessities of life and Hanna must pay as he goes, or fail 1t is true that Mclean has more morey than Hanna but he does not command the fall respect of tue Democracy of Ohio and that will increase Hannas $ chances. This is an of year, and Ohis is not hard to handle in non presidential years. but this cam paign Will be an exception for the Democracy Hanna has the unqual- flied backing of the adminis- tration, which counts for much; yet if the democrats get squarely to- gether on state issues, they have a fair chance to win.
 The effect of carrying Ohio, and placing Senators in the place Of so arch trust politician as Hanna, would be next in excellence to the election of president, and while but little noise is being made about it, plans have beenilaid for the most vigorous campaign there this fall since the memorable fights of Thur man. On both sides there are the shrewdest leaders and the most in fatuated workers, and it is really going to be the battle of political giants, and If McKinlegism goes down there, there will be no doubt about Reed leading tie minority II the next House, If he lives and gels back to Congress.

Turkish Traffic In Slaves.

Slave dealing in Constantinople, as we know, always exists, and the wife of a pasha is not above the wretehed business. Richard Dayey, i'll his book, The Sultan and His Subjects, says:
 A good deal of Turkish traffic in slaves Is conducted in the following manner on very we'll conceived com mercial principles: The wife of pasha, as matter of speculation, purchases two or three little girls for trifie, either from q slave dealer CT some poor woman, generally a Christian, possibly q Bulgarian refugee who is unable to bring up her own children. The lady educates each child. teaches it those ac- complishmenfs which are indispensable to harem life. such as singing, dancing and playing on musical instruments, washing, starching, ironing, embroid- cry and even q little cookery. To this may be added q smattering Of some for eign language and a very elementary knowledge of Turkish caligraplly. When the child is grown lsls. # she is ii..ssss::;ss some the lady turns her to account and literally repays herself for her trouble by selling her at a high figure to some pasha of her acquaintance through the medium ef one of tie well known old women Whose business lt $ to easay ont transactions q that sort,
