The mathematical course begins with ad-
vanced arithmetic and covers elementary
algebra, plane geometry, plano trigonom-
etry and solid geometry or advanced alge-
bra and analytic geometry.
Throughout the course a great deal of
attention is paid TO the English Ian
guage, and tho study OF chemistry,
physics, history and either the French or
German language Is required. The usual
measures are taken to encourage emu
lation. The names OF the students in each
class who have attained the grade OF honor
men are printed in the annual catalogue.
There Is prize for general excellence, and
prizes for proficiency in writing English, in
public speaking and in mathematics. The
value Of the instruction impaired Is attest
ed by the distinction acquired by graduates
OF the academy at tho principal American
universities. We should add that candi-
dates for admission to the school must be
at least IA years OF age, and must pass an
examination in English, in the history Of
tho United States and in elementary arith-
metic. The studies of the junior class are
compulsory, and 80 Is physical training
throughout tho course. After the first year
some freedom in the choice Of studies Is
allowed, but tho selection must be made
within carefully defined limits.
The roll OF its graduates supplies the
proof Of the services which have been rem
dered by Phillips Exeter Academy. When,
in 1913, DR.. BENJAMIN ABBOTT resigned the
position OF Principal, which he had held for
fifty years, there was q reunion OF his for
mer pupils, at which DANIEL WEBSTER pre-
sided. Among the alumni who spoke on
that occasion we're EDWARD EVERETT ALEX
AMBER H. EVERETT JOHN G. PALFREY.
JOHN HALE and CALEB CUSHING. In 1888
the one hundredth anniversary OF the open
ing OF the school was commemorated.
GEORGE BANCROFT presided at the dinner,
and attention was directed to the fact that
the list Of the schools alumni included seven
Cabinet Ministers, five Ministers Plenpo-
Tertiary, eight Senators and twenty Rep
resentatives in Congress, twenty Justices
OF the Supreme Courts OF States, five JUS
tices OF United States Courts, twelve Gov
errors Of States, siXty-one college Presi-
dents and professors five hundred and ten
lawyers, two hundred and sixty-two ply
sicians. two hundred and forty-nve ply
sicians, one hundred and eighty-flve cler-
gymen, thirty-si1 authors, including four
conspicuous historians, three Major-Gen-
erals in the United States Army and two
Rear Admirals Of the navy, besides scores
Of officers in both departments OF the ma
tional service. In the present academical
year the alumni number about six thou

tory Of the Union, besides many foreign
countries.

the route from Brito to the lake, has been
practically settled for q long time, although
there was formerly much discussion OF the
relative merits OF the Medic and the Lajas
routes.
As to the middle and eastern sections 1t
was also ascertained long ago that tho San
Juan River could be made navigable by
dams from Lake Nicaragua as far east as
Castillo Rapids, a distance OF thirty-seven
miles, and indeed even further. to perhaps
half the way to the sea. In 1852 CHiLDs,
In O survey which may properly be consid-
cred the basis Of everything since done,
proposed to extend the summit level OF the
lake to Castillo Rapids, and then to pro-
long the navigation OF the San Juan below
that obstacle by seven dams and their locks
to the Serapiqui, ninety-one miles from the
lake, the canal proper thence running along
the bank OF the San Juan to Greytown.
Commander luis variation, in 1872, was
to prolong the river navigation by four
dams and locks from Castillo to San Carlos,
where the canal would start, and proceed
on the left bank to tho outlet OF the San
Juanlllo and thence to Greytown. This, in
fact, is the route Of the Walker Commission,
exceptthat it provides for one dam instead
OF four, although an alternative plan sup
plies two additional dams
Contrasted with this Lul or low level line,
below the San Carlos, is the high level line
which Engineer MENocAL proposed In 1885.
The boldness and ingenuity OF this plan
wero evident. but there were some not
wholly known factors, and a suitable con-
struction Of the Ochoa Dam and the various
embankments seemed to the Ludlow Com
mission to be very costly, SO that this
body advised explorations Of other routes
below the San Carlos. including the 80
called low level line on the left bank OF the
San Juan to the San Juanillo and thence to
Greytown." and especially 1.-The canaliza-
ton OF the river to the vicinity OF the Sera-
piqui by means Of comparatively low
dams" The result was the adoption OF this
low level route by the Walker Commission.
The new Nicaragua Canal Commission
marks another and very important step
towards the construction OF the canal

The Presidents selection OF the new MIC

that no part of the inquiry contemplated

There are to be nine members instead Of

A Virginia Anti-Expansionist.

Ancwspapcr published within few miles
OF the Capitol Of the United States, the
Alexandria Gazette and Virginia Advertiser,
pays this compliment to the soldiers Of the
United States:
THE fact that 4. 600 of the United States volun-
teer army in the Philippines have consented to re-
main in those islands. though their term of enlist
ment has expired. shows what q profitable field for
footing they afford. and fully sustains the reports
previously sent from Manila in respect OF the means
by which United States troops in Luzon are teaching
the natives thereof the benefits OF civilization and
humanity"
Here is a man, at least a creature classi-
fed as human, who says markedly that the
soldiers who have been fighting for the
country which has tho honor of counting
him among it's citizens, are thieves and
lootcrs in war and in peace. A soldier who
wants to settle in the Philippines shows
thereby that he remains for tho sake Of
plumber. If he died he might be pardoned,
for he would have helped to confirm the
suspicious OF BILLY MASON and the Anti
Imperialist League as to the climate, but II
he lives. he lives for robbery. For this Is
an "unholy" war, conducted by American
desperadoes for tho destruction OF the
liberty and the seizure Of the property Of
the Tagal WAsHINGToNs and HAMPDESs.
AGUINALDO may accuse the American
soldiers in the Philippines OF all sorts OF
atrocity and dishonesty. but he doesn't be-
lievo his charges. He is trying to gull his
dupes and he is talking about his enemies.
The Alexandria editor seems to believe his
assumptions and he is talking about his own
people.
But let MS not be unjust TO this Alex
| andrian Aguinaldian. He is only little
lamb OF the flock that bleats and waddles
after the old bellwether. GoDKN. Like
the other extreme anti-imperialists he has
| carried his opposition to the Administra-
| tion to the point OF actual frenzy. He needs
dose OF hellebore and he ought to be bled
| and have his head shaved. He Is rather
| good specimen OF the fanatical or demoni-
| acal auti-imperialist.
His talk and that OF the rest Of the gang,
| insulting as it Is to the United States and
| its soldiers, will scarcely cause any anger.
! People will simply tap themselves on the
| forehead, sneer little and go about thor
| business.

Water Wasting in New York.

The testimony Of expert witnesses be-
fore the Assembly committee corrob-
Grated by general observation, was scarce
ly needed to establish the fact that more
water Is wasted in New York than in
any other city Of the world. and that New
York wastes more water in year than
some large cities use.
The waste Of water in New York has
entailed the issue OF bonds for a vast mu-
nicipal debt and imposed taxes upon house
holders and others which have operated to
the detriment OF manufacturing concerns
in New York and have caused their removal
to other neighboring cities.
The daily consumption Of water in the
city Of London is, approximately, 175, OOO,-
900 gallons. The average daily consump-
tion OF water in the city Of Paris Is 1OO,-
600 900 gallons. The average daily con-
sumption in New York county for the year
1898 was 243,OoO.OOO gallons London
had, by the estimate Of the Registrar
General. in 1897. population Of 4, 1885,
900. The population OF Paris, by the
municipal census OF 1895, was $780,
900, and the population Of New York
county. according to the Board Of Health
estimate, Is now 2. O4O, 900. New York in
the boroughs Of Manhattan and the Bronx
uses considerably more water than ejther
London or Paris, and tho whole OF New
York uses much more than do London and
Paris together. Moreover the waste Of
water beyond necessary and legitimate
uses is increasing faster than new sources

The Municipal Assembly Must Go.

Mr.. BIRD s. Golfer, the Comptroller OF
the city OF New York, is dissatisfied with
the neglect Of the Municipal Assembly To
act upon appropriations which require the
approval of that body before the money can
be applied for purposes OF public improve
ment or the payment of city Indebtedness.
This feeling on the part OF Mr. CoLER Is
crcdtablr to an officer who is anxious to
promote the welfare and preserve the credit

the Municipal Assembly, by reason of the
non-attendamce Of n sufficient number OF

upon certain known laws OF nature. There
are doubtless laws OF nature still unknown to

science As immortality is not a known law Of
