Los ANGELES HERALD. MONDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 2a 1893

remember we caught fellow once through
the peculiar way he stamped letter. He
was wanted for frivoling with the laws Of
Uncle Sam, but had skipped out, and could
not be located. In looking oyer some Of
bis correspondence 1 had noticed that he
always put the stamp crosswise, so as to
leave small triangle of the envelope at the
upper rigbt-hand corner. Why he did it
don't know, but the stamp was always in
that particular spot, and gummed down with
mathematical accuracy. One day 1 was in
a certain Georgia town, and while loafing
near the cancellation table at the postotfice
l noticed several letters stamped as have
described. Just on chance ! took memo
randum of the address and postmark, which
was Chattanooga, and happening to be IN
that place on the following week collared
my man as he was inquiring for his mail.
The letters noticed turned out to have been
addressed to his wife. When l told him
how got my pointer he was mad as blazes,
and guess. he stamps his letters straight

THE FLOODS COMING
CLEARING THE CHANNEL OF
LYTLE CREEK
Work Stopped Under New Reading
Of the Law by the City
Attorney

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 26.-When
the floods came down Lytle creek annually
they kept the channel well worked out IN
definite course, although an extra large
cloudburst would change the channel some
what, but the dry winters of late have al
lowed the channel in places to become com
pletely blocked up with willows and debris
that would, in case of a heavy rainfall, form
q dam and overflow the adjoining real estate
to the great damage of the owners. 10
avoid this the owners on both sides Of the
blocked channel for nearly half a mile Pc
titioned the trustees for permission to clear
the old channel before the rains came, doing
the work at their own expense. This was
granted, under the direction of the street
superintendent. Then Messrs. Newburg
and Jacobs, who have an interest in lot
below the obstruction, secured an opinion
from the city attorney that the channel OF
the creek should not be directed IN its
course, but must be left to nature to go
where it pleased, and under this ruling the
work was stopped, and the creek wild now
be allowed to make it's own channel until
there is change Of city attorneys next
election in the spring.

ABOUT THE SUEZ CANAL
Figures Which Give Encouragement
to the Nicaraguan Project

The Suez canal connects the Mediterrane-
an with the Red sea. 1t extends from Fort
Said on the Mediterranean to Suez on the
Red sea, distance of eighty-seven miles.
OF this sixty-six miles is actual canal ana
twenty-one miles lakes. The canal Is With
out locks.
1t was opened to navigation November
II, 1869, and took ten years to build. 1t was
built by a company organized by the late
Ferdinand de Lesseps, afterwards OF Pana-
ma fame. The total cost of construction
was $S0,000000. Originally, for about tour
fifths of its length it was 327 feet wide at
the surface of the water, seventy-two teet
wide at the bottom and twenty-siX feet
deep. For the remainder it was l06 feet wide
at the surface of the water, the width at
the bottom and the depth being the same az
in the wider portion.
In recent years it has been widened and
deepened in order to meet the requirements
of the immense traffic passing through it.
canal was also built in connection to brlnG
fresh water to the Suez from the Nile at
point near Cairo. This canal reaches the
Suez at Ismaiia and then runs almost par
allel to the salt water canal at Suez. 1t il

irrigation. In 1875 the British government
bought the interest of the viceroy of Egyp
in. the Suez canal.
The building of the Suez canal shortened
the sailing distance from London to BON
bay from 1920 to 6332 miles. The trade Q
the world now passes through the canal ant
its traffic is constantly increasing. Marci
!, 1887, navigation at night was commence
by the use of electric lights, thus shor.enin
the time of passage from forty to twent
hours.
During the year 1894 1852 vessels passe'
through the Suez canal and the receipt
from tolls were $l5,000,000. In 1874 onl
1894 vessels went through. Last year tn
business was larger than ever, but it ha
been noted that not single vessel flying tn
American flag went through the canal. e
course, large part OF the commerce was
and from the United States, but it was cal
ried in foreign bottoms.
The receipts from tolls are now 20 pc
cent per year of the cost of the canal, an
Suez canal stock pays good dividends ever
, year out of the net earnings.
