as an aid in building up our carrying
trade, could be made by the same author
ity. II any European complications as
to the use Of the canal arose. our Govern
ment would not be hampcrcd by the exist
enee Of a canal company, nor by being
obliged to obtain the current action of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, but would be
in position to decide for itself what
course TO take. The possible claims of
England to joint control OF the canal un-
der the Clayton Bulwer treaty should be
ignored. Those claims could never be al
lowed, and we probably would hear little
Of them after we had constructed the
canal with our own money and were IL
full possession. The Srez caHai has been
neutralized by an agreement between the
great powers, but that waterway is close
ly connected with the Eastern question,
the balance Of power, and other large sub
jects involving the nations OF Europe.
There is no analogy as to naturalization
between the situation at Snez and that at
Nicaragua"
Estimates of Probable Revenue.
Mr.. Sheldou's estimates of the probable
revenue to be derived from the canal are
encouraging. '.As the conditions are so
similar, 1t is necessary, in taking broad
view Of probable earnings, to consider the
business transacted by the Suez canal.
The results there shown are more helpful
than mere estimates; they are ascertained
facts. That company deals with the
worlds commerce, just as will be done In
Nicaragua. In 1895 its business amount
ed to s, $4,000 tons 1t had then been in
operation twenty-five years. The first
year, 1870. its business was only 100000

The modern postman has been
mounted on a bicycle, has been given
a horse to ride, sometimes a horse
draws him about, but the queerest of
all methods of locomotIons of postmen
is that which is utilized in France,
where men of letters-and papers
move about on stills. 1t is not meant
that all the French postmen make
their rounds in this fashion. Only those
who serve the country and the post
office officials through Lne great stretch
of land that lies between Bordeaux
and Bayonne are so distinguished. All
this land is covered by a growth of
gorse and broom which makes walking
very difficult matter. The postmen,
however, have found that there is a
way to render it much easier for them
selves and that is by taking stills. To
walk about in this fashion is not as
easy as walking on ones feet in the
ordinary way. The stills are fastened
to the feet of the postmen, and are
not unlike those with which the small
boy makes annual detours. To stand
still any length of time on them is of
course impossible without support, and
so a pole is carried in much the same
way that the yeoman once lugged about
his quarterstaff On this pole the post
man leans when he wishes to rest, and
in this way manages to get along very
comfortably. There is another propo-
sition to face when winter comes, as of
necessity the stills sink deeply into the

A Faulty Diagnosis.

The students of a certain big medical
college of this city are enjoying good
joke at the expense of one of their pro-
fessors. The professor in question is
physician of experience and acknowl-
edged ability, but he made a diagnosis
which was decidedly faulty in the case
of young man, sufferer from nerv-
GUS trouble, who was introduced to the
clinic. In some diseases of the ner-
vous system there is an interference of
the blood supply to the smaller blood
vessels of the skin, which show con-
gestion of the venous blood. A COM
mon symptom, for instance, is a blue
color in the fingers. The subject be-
fore the clinic on this occasion seemed
to the physician to afford an excellent
illustration of this condition. Look
at this mans hands," said he; do
you notice anything strange about
them?" A number of the students
gathered round to investigate, but they
declared that they saw nothing unusu-
al. "What?" declared the professor.
Cant you see the condition of the
subjects blood indicated there in the
blue color of his hands. That

and the professor promptly dismissed

snow and this. makes walking a very
difficult matter. This the genius of the
postman has proved sufficient to over
come. He accomplishes his undertake
ing with the aid of a thin wooden
skate, with which he skins along the
surface of the snow and ice without
sinking at all. 1t is by no means an
easy matter to balance ones self on
stills tied to the knees. What then
must be the effort of skating on stills {?
This French postman makes remark
able speed as he shuffles and glides
about from one place to another. Often
times the route which one man has to
travel on foot in this fashion includes
more territory than Greater New York
possesses. The skates, therefore in
stead of being hindrance and a dan
ger, really make this work easier and
the postman in the Landes, as this
queer tract of country is called re-
joices at the coming of winter. for he
realizes that his task will become a
considerable percentage lighter. Clad
in his capote, or sheepskin cloak. he
scurries about over the country until
he has been everywhere that his dutv
calls him. Sometimes postmen of a
neighboring territory meet him and
challenge his f1eetness, the result he-
ing a tourney Many of the postmen
who follow this method of transporta-
ton are said to make as good time as
most people would with a horse and
buggy.

Depth of the Atlantic.

The greatest depth in the Atlantic
has been found some 100 miles to the
northward of the island of St. Thomas,
where soundings of 1878 fathoms were
obtained. The seas around Great Brit
ain can hardly be regarded as forming
part of the Atlantic hollow. They are
rather a part of the platform banks
of the European continent which the
ocean has overlooked. An elevation of
the sea bed 100 fathoms would suffice
to lay bare the greatest part of the
North sea and join England to Den
mark, Holland, Belgium and France.
A deep channel of water would run
down the west coast of Norway, and
with this the majority of the fiords
would be connected. A great part OF
the Bay of Biscay would disappear; but
Spain and Portugal are but little re-
moved from the Atlantic depression
The 100-fathom line approaches very
near the west coast, and soundings OF
100 fathoms can be made within twenty
miles of Cape St. Vincent, and much
greater depths have been sounded at
distances but little greater than this
from the western shores Of the Iberian
peninsula.

HORSES FOR CIRCUS.
GATHERING EoUINES MUST BE
CAREFULLY SELECTED.
Oblivious to All About Him-The Old
Time Custom of Having Only One
steed in the Ring at q Time Is
Almost Passed.

To the ordinary spectator the ring
horse Is comparatively uninteresting
animal; he goes around at a steady
canter, while the rider goes through
more or less difficult feats; but the
circus proprietor would tell us that a
really good ring horse is one of the
most valuable properties, says the Lon
don Field. In order that the perform
er may execute his feats with accuracy
the horse must travel at one even
speed; for If he were to make a start
or slacken his pace the rider would
come TO the ground. He must also be
well accustomed to the business of the
ring, for neither the music of the band.
the action of the clown, nor, as in the
case OF the jockey act, the running up
to him Of the rider, must cause him
to alter his speed and it may surprise
some people to learn that a horse is
seldom perfect for the ring until he
mas had about three years experience
The ring horse is, perhaps, entitled to
our sympathy, for the continuous can
1SNOAhO
not only have horses to appear once
or twice in the day at public exhibit
lions, but they are also requisitioned
Tor rehearsals, in order that new tricks
may be practiced, and fresh hands
taught their business, while in bare
back acts their coats are freely rubbed
with resin in order that the performer
may have good foothold. 1t is per-
haps somewhat of feather in the cap
OF military equitation that Philip
Astley-who was probably one of the
most successful of the early trainers
learned much of his business while a.
trooper in cavalry regiment; SO that
even in those days somewhere about
the year ITO the cavalry riding mas
ter would appear to have been more
conversant than other people with the
breaking and training of horses. Dur
ing recent years the greatest advance
has perhaps been in the training of
what are called liberty" horses: that
is to say, horses which are Intro
duced" instead of being ridden. With
in the memory of people who are
scarcely more than middleaged, more
than one horse was seldom, if ever,
seen in the ring at once. He was
brought in and went through his per-
Torrance to the great delight Of the
assembled spectators, whereas now we
