In snita of the imnetus recently

In spite of the impetus recently
given to geographical study, it ispro-
bable that ten out of twelve well-read
persons will estimate the distance be-
tween Liverpool and San Francisco,
via Cape Horn, to be at least one
thousand miles longer than from New
York to the same port of the Golden
Gate; but it is actually one hundred
and fifty miles shorter!-the two
routes being respectively 1860 and
Il, $40 miles long. The greatest sur
prise, however, is to find that New
Orleans is further away than either of
the two cities, being Is, 052 miles from
San Francisco. When the Nicaragua
Canal is opened, this Southern city
will only be 4, 047 miles from her West
ern sister; New York will be distant
1876 miles and Liverpool 1854 miles.
The economy to the shipping interests
of England and America alone would
pay for the canal twice over in short
time, to say nothing of the advantage
to commerce of reaching markets
hitherto ssable.-FTdnE Leslie's
Popular Monthly.

an important role in nearly every kind

works it is utilized very cleverly indeed.

driven, about tour feet apart. The
lengths Of bamboo are about 10 or 10
feet long. and the thickness Is about
four inches Earth or sand Is thrown In
between the rows Of bamboo. making a
ditch in front Of the stockade. A third
row of bamboo is then driven four feet
IN the rear Of the inner row, but this
row rises only couple Of feet above the
natural level Of the soil More earth or
sand Is filled In. and the filing in each
case is rammed down as hard as posi-

Where there has been a sufficient
length Of time to cut portfolios through
the front thickness Of earth the men In
the Notifications thus thrown up need
not expose themselves at all, but when,
as In all cases Of rapidly constructed
field works. temporary protection alone
has been desired, the rows Of bamboo
| do not rise more than three feet above
the natural level, and the men lie down
or crouch behind the protection thus
afforded and fire over It.
