The Nlcar.ru. Canal.

Young Student asks for some infor-
nation about the Nicaragua Canal.
Answer: The object of this waterway
was to connect the Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans. The waters of the lake
frcm which the project takes it's name
were to be used and the distance to be
traversed was about 40 miles. The
estimated cost Of the enterprise. about
one hundred and thirty-three and one.
half million dollars, seems very large
sum to expend for such purpose, but
1t is claimed that the saving Of distance
In transportation will more than make
up for 1t. According to surveys, the
distance from New York to San Fran
cisco by water is 1852 miles. BY the
canal it will be 5.636 miles. This makes
saving Of over 10000 miles on the
round trip. BY the canal the distance
from New York to the Pacific ocean
is 2.519 miles; by the Northern Pa
cifc railroad, 3.237 miles; by Central
Pacific, 3.269; by Canadian Pacific, s.
619; by Southern Pacific, 3,709; to
Cape Horn, 1897 miles. Adding to the
shortness Of distance the lesser risk
by inland than outside transportation
and the advantages Of such cut-oft
are at once apparent. ,.,f::a T.

Bridging tho Ct. Lawrence.

It is curious and most interesting
fact that that q plan for bridge
across the st. Lawrence river opposite
Quebec, which was made upwards Of
forty years ago, is quite as applicable
to present day ideas as the more recent
designs. In fact. with some slight
notifications. this plan would work
admirably under our present system
of bridge building. The difficulties at
tending an undertaking Of this sort
may be imagined when 1t is taken into
consideration that the distance across
the river from cliff to cliff is 1880 feet.
1t was proposed to span this distance
by three 1900 foot sections, with short
er ones at the shore ends. The trussed
suspension system was to be employed
and the bridge was to have upper and
lower decks, the one for wheel and foot
trafic and the other for railroad trains.
One Of the greatest points in UNDER
taktngs of this sort is the strength Of
the piers. This was to be secured by
foundations built of solid masonry
started $50 feet below high water mark.
The masonry was to be carried up to
the floor level of the bridge in solid
columns. Five cables were to be en-
ployed. and on these the remainder of
the structure was to rest. There is lit
tie trouble with modern appliances in
carrying the foundations of buildings
down as far as one chooses; indeed, a
hri60o rnoouflv orao& al IN A,,otro13o =, oo
piers $50 feet in length, and these were
carried down through mud and sand to
their solid foundations.

broken into on Tuesday and Cresein

elected Deputy Sheriff, Spaulding, who

Cresein finally yielded and came here

Natures Enrr.ving-stone.

Natures Engraving-Stone.
For many years the greatest source
of the fine grained stone used in litho-
graphy has been the quarries at Solen-
hofen, in Bavaria. These quarries pos
sess a particular interest. because in
them have been discovered remains Of
exceedingly strange and rare prehis-
toric animals. such as some of the fly
ing reptiles that once dwelt in Europe,
but have now disappeared from the
earth. The science Of geology has
gained much fromsthese fossils. which,
fattened and compressed, and leaving
their Impressions In the rock, might be
likened to engravings from natures
own hand, whereby she has handed
down to US pictures Of q world whose
antiquity extends far beyond the limits
Of human memory or human history.
Recently It has been stated that tbs
Solenhofen Quarries are approaching
exhaustion. and that new source Of
supply Of lithographic stone is needed.
It is gratifying to know that our own
country may supply the want, excellent
stone Of the kind required being found
In Tennessee. In the meantime. IN
Germany, the possibility Of substitute
Ing aluminium for Solenhofen stone IN

Washington, Sept. Is. vs. The report
from Capt. Ray, the army officer who

small force of soldiers to st. Mlchaels
at the earliest moment. Capt. Rays
advices were of date Aug. "a. He was
then at st. Michaels, about to take the
steamer up the Yukon for Circle City.
