NICARAGUA ROUTE UNSAFE

Professor Heilprin Of the University
OF Pennsylvania, in a letter to the
New York Evening Post reviews the
earthquake record Of Nicaragua from
III to 1885 with the result that he
finds that badly shaken country an
unpromising location for a ship canal
with locks and dams OF unusual height
II Is not safe, he says to assume that
the volcanoes of Nicaragua represent
some final geological period and are so
reduced In activity that they may be
disregarded by the canal builders. II
Is impossible, he thinks. TO fortell the
effect OF renewed activity Of the vol
canoes upon the locks and dams
There was in 1885 an eruption OF
Cosequina. but $50 miles from the pro-
Qosed route Of the canal, which Is to be
compared, for violence and wide dis
turbance with the Krakatoa horror of
1883, when whole island near Java
was engulfed and thousands OF people
were killed. The Panama route is
freer from such dangers.
