TsUo Canal Roufes compored.

NOg C4W0A AQ4NEA (OM D4TE0.
Arthur p Davis. chief photographer
Of the Isthmian Canal commission,
contributes tC the January Forum an
interesting comparison between the
Panama and Nicaragua canals on the
basis OF cost Adopting the most re-
liable estimates from all sources re-
duces every element OF the problem
IN both cases to a basis Of cellars in
vested Assuming that in either case
the annual tonnage passing through
the canal will be 10000 900 tons. and
balancing the advantages OF one ca
nal against those Of the other, he esti.
mates that the Panama route would
be the cheaper by sS5.4O0.O0O
It is the original cost OF construc-
ton that makes this scort Of compari-
son unfavorable to the Nicaraguan
canal at sl34 800. 900 and that OF com
pleting the Panama canal at ss1 .100.-
900. This leaves a balance OF s43.7O0,-
900 adverse to the Nicaraguan route.
But Mr. Davis also answers the ques-
tion. Irrespective Of cost. which would
be the most desirable canal IL con-
structed7" The answer is that Nicar-
aqua would save sl5,6O0.0O0 as COM
pared with Panama. The latter would
have the advantage Of being shorter
and straighter. making navigation
through It easier to the extent OF the
interest on 2S.00O,00O. but Nicaragua
would have the advantage Of being
nearer to the customary routes Of
commerce. which alone is worth the
interest on sS5.OOO. 900. The items q
healthfuiness and Of local commerce
add ss.OO0.O00 TO the Nicaraguan ac-
count which is not offset by Panamas
advantage Of s5.00O.0OO on the score Of
maintenance. operation and winds.
llr. Davis conclusion is that If the
United States can buy out the Panama
canal for less than $50 600 900 It should
do SO. II that canal can not be had
for less than $4,000. 900 the Nicara-
guam route should be given the pref
erence. II must be understood that in
discussing the question Mr. Davis does

view Whether one route is to be pre-
ferred to the other for the military

The killing Age.

When a hog or sheep has reached
maturity they have reached the high
est points of their usefulness or profit
to man, if, of course, they are not in
tended for breeding purposes. After
maturity no other animals deteriorate
so fast as sheep. -Four years seems
the limit of Sleeps protitmaking
life, and in buying this must not be
lost sight of. II is true that no other
stock shows the effect of age so
plainly as sheep. Of hogs little need
be said; they go TO market soon
enough; indeed, the race is in greater
danger of extinction from breeding
from immature parents than from
keeping hogs too long. OF course
there is a golden mean, and to show
there are extremes, the story is told
of a summer boarder in Nova Scotia,
where the family kept a hog. Two
Years latter he returned and found
the same hog. On inQuiring why they
