The Nicaragua 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
cif1c oceans. The waters of the lake
from 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 a purpose, but
1T is claimed that the saving of distance
In transportation will more than make
up for it. According to surveys, the
distance from New York to San Fran
cisco by water is 1852 miles. BY the
canal it will be $685. miles. This makes
a 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
ci1c railroad, 3,237 miles; by Central
Pacific, 3,269; by Canadian Pacific, 3d.
619; by Southern Pacific, 3,7O9; to
Cape Horn, 1897 miles. Adding to the
shortness OF distance the lesser risk
by inland than outside transportation
and the advantages of such a cutoff
are at once apparent.

down on the level prairie, in an almost
perfect curve. The ties and rails were
not disconnected, but seemed merely to
have lifted themselves up to fall in a
more comfortable position. The train

animation it was deemed safe enough
for the train to pass over. which it
did. moving very slowly and cautious

as possible and declared that the &C.

Nature's Engraving.Stonc,

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 tho
earth. The science of geology has
gained much from these 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 world whose
antiquity extends far beyond the limits
OF human memory or human history.
Recently it has been stated that the
Solenhofen quarries are approaching
exhaustion, and that new source Of
supply of photographic 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 is
being discussed.

A Household Telephone.

A Berlin firm of electricians has re-
Gently placed on the market a combi-
nation telephone and electric bell for
short distances. The illustration shows
it's parts and it's installations between
a kitchen and dining-room. The SIM
plicity of the apparatus is one of it's
principal points of advantage and it's
usefulness is evident. The one shown
in the dining room is the size of an or
binary egg, which at the pointed end
has small push-button for bell.
The egg-shaped fixture can be taken
apart, the short end being the trans
mitter the longer end the receiver of
this diminutive telephone. The fixture
in the kitchen is of the ordinary tele-
phone type and has bell which rings
when the push-button in the dining
room fixture is pressed. This calls
the cook to the phone and the lady of
the house may give her orders in an
undertone and even in whisper,
which will be plainly understood by
the cook. The mouthpiece is a SIM
plified microphone, the membrane be-
ing placed just little above very
small electric magnet. The same mag
net is used for the push-button. In
other respects this installation does
not differ from the ordinary micro
phone and it's rapid popularity in Ger

Bridging the st. Lawrence.

It is a curious and most interesting
fact that that 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 it 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 1000 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
traffic and the other for railroad trains.
One of the greatest points in under
takings 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
bridge recently erected in Australia has
piers $50 feet in length, and these were
carried down through mud and sand to
their solid foundations.
