is particular palatable. BY this it must
not be supposed that after an oyster
has passed the four-layer period and
has five, six or even ten wrinkles on
his shell he is a back number Indeed
there are records OF oysters being eat

unequi, ocabiy in favor of the Nicara-
qua route for an inter-oceanic canal.
He made no mention OF the Panama
project, which has recently been re-
vised in certain quarters. and ttat

To tho Nicaragua plan before the dis
cussion in the Senate is finished. The
canal is not to he dug right away. The
engineering problem is not the only
one. There seems to be complication
in the matter of concessions by the gov
ernment OF Nicaragua. and there are
other matters OF import TO be decided
upon before the work can be begun.
But II is generally understood that the
Walker. commission is prepared to re-
port favorably on the engineering fea-
lures of the plan, and after all that
is the phief thing, II It is possible TO
dig a. canal down there, across the
Nicaragua neck, the canal will be built

the problem will be swept away.
