QUESTION OF SOVEREIGNTY.

Now that there are before the Inter
Oceanic Canal Commission two PROPOSE
tiOns, the construction of a canal con-
Meeting Lake Nicaragua with the two
oceans and the purchase of thu Panama
Canal Company's concession, the peo-
pie of the country will become more
generally interested in the problem of
the fnter-oceanic canal. In the East
there IS a revival OF the discussion of
the question as to whether or not there
shall go with any canal concession the
absolute control of the territory up
which the works are constructed.
That there might be a canal. con-
structed by a private corporation, plac-
ed upon the soil OF a foreign country,
the status of the waterway being fixed
and guaranteed by a concert of powers,
is conceivable, but If the Treasury of
the United States Is to be charged with
the cost of the construction of the
canal then it becomes matter for SOW
ereignty. This was brought out in the
discussions which took place during the
last session OF Congress. while this
matter was under discussion. and there
seems no reason TO believe that the
men who at that time voiced such ex-
IRENE sentiments will ever become rec
oncIIed to any half way measures in
respect to this great undertaking. This
view Is taken in the following extract
from the Review of Reviews, in dis
cussing the canal:
The United States government cannot
appropriately construct vast and per-
manent public work like a ship canal up
on soil over which the United States does
not propose to become sovereign in the
full sense at some time. The French
company that owns the unfinished Pan
anna canal IS anxious to sell it's assets,
whatever they may be. to the United
States government. But such a pur-
chase should not be contaminated with
out negotiations for the purchase at
good price from the Republic Of Colon
bia OF its long Isthmian stretch known
as the State OF Panama. In times OF
emergency We already exercise super
yIsory functions In the State OF Panama
under a long-standing treaty. whereby
we guarantee peace and order there to
the end that the Panama Railroad may
be operated without obstruction Topo-
graphical conditions are sucn that the
isthmus bears no actual relation to the
political. economic, or social life of the
Republic OF Colombia. The isthmus has
always been identified with North Amer
lea rather than with South America;
fnasmuch as the Panama Railroad has
long been its principal economic factor.
Il has been especially identified with the
United States Our interests there are
already paramount, and we could not
possibly allow any disposition to be
made OF the isthmus that would tend TO
lessen our influence or authority. Our
position In the West Indies and tie Car
fbbean Sea, and our acquisition of Ha-
vail Guam and the Philippines. point TO
our fun acquisition OF the isthmus the
one essential step to be taken in the
rounding out of our policy OF territorial
and trade expansion. With the isthmus
annexed by purchase. all diplomatic
questions about the control of an 18TH
milan canal would adjust themselves 10
the changed situation.

The COST OF WAR.

A Paris journal publishes an article
by NJ. Jules Roche on THE Cost o.
the Next War" Mr.. Stead. says III
writer. has put forward strong argu
ments to prove that war has become
impossible in Europe owing TO the dis
organization 1t would entail and to The
enormous expenditure which it would
require, an expenditure which no bud
get could bear. In support Of his cor
tention he quotes the figures given b
Mr.. Jean de Bloch in his work Lave
mir de Ia Guerre" In which the daily
expenditure for one OF the great Euro

mean powers Is estimated at 105,0O0OO0
francs.
Mr.. Roche takes as a basis for eX-
aiming the question the cost of the
last great European war, that OF 1870
II. Quoting from NJ. Boreau-Lajana-
dies report to the National Assembly,
he shows that in December, 1870, the
war expenditure in the provinces reach
ed 10 600. OeO francs daily. The eXpendi-
ture or loss to the budget caused by the
war In 1870 and 1871. is estimated at
3 1883 900. 600 francs exclusive OF the or
binary expenditure of the budget for
1870, amounting to 373,0OO,OOO francs.
This makes 1861. 900, 900 francs for 1870
and 1871 and the war lasted only
month in the latter year, though 1t Is
true there was the commune. NJ de
Freycinet in La Guerre en- Province
writes: 1.-The increased expenditures
caused by the war. strictly speaking
for the 500, 900 men opposed to the enemy
during five and half months, amount
to about 600 100000 francs" This is
only the increase, and NJ. de Freycinet
reckons that each soldier cost eight
francs. eighty confines per day.
But it is no longer a question OF
GOO 600 men. The Germans estimate that
the French would have 4,35O.o0O men. in

putting the figures as low as possible,
takes 5000, 900 as the basis of his calcu-
latlons. AT s francs. soc. per man daily
this makes g. 400, 900 francs per day

a month that is, when the campaign
has started. The preliminary expenses
during the first month would certainly
not be less than 1000, 900 francs. Such
would be approximately the cost of
war without considering the losses en-
tailed upon the country.
Then the savings banks would have
to be reimbursed. In 1870 there were
6OO. 600. 900 francs due to the public. Now
there are $500 OOO. 900 francs. The State
would need five or six milliards during
the first month of the war. The Bank
of France could not find this sum. Tax
alton was collected with difficulty in
1870. It would be the same today and
then FIVE or six milIiards in excess of
the ordinary taxation would be requir-
ed. The chances of a loan, NJ. Roche
thinks, would be bad France has al
ready mortgaged her credit to the full
in time OF peace. In conclusion he
says: 1T may be argued that Ger

convenient source of intense heat for
small chemical and mechanical opera
tons in places where gas is not avail

performing such operations in India,
where the mouth blowpipe and spirit
lamp are often the only means at hand.
Mr.. y. Richardson has devised an oil
blowpipe. which, in the form OF a metal

tube of iron wire gauze. The lower end
Of the metal tube is closed by a per-
forated cap, through which passes the
blowpipe Jet, arranged to slide back

metal tube. When the lamp Is lighted

MISCELLANY

A mixture of powdered Canadian as
bestos, with 10 per cent. of white lime,
has been recommended in Germany as
a mortar having important advantages
with slow drying as the only disadvan-
tage. 1t resists fire to an extraordinary
degree and is also waterproof, exposure
to a hot fire for an hour and half fol-
lowed by a drenching with water having
had no effect. The mortar is very tough
and only half as heavy as cement NOR
tar.
The difficult problem of~getting in
fantry across streams is solved by Com
mander Cluchagne, of the Fre2ch
army, in a very simple manner. He
employs easily carried metal cylinders
twelve inches long and SIX inches in
diameter, which may be divided into
halves for use as pals and kettles dur
ing a halt, and which may be closed to
serve as water-tight buoys. with spe-
cial couplings to attach them in pairs
to swimming belt or to join them in
considerable number for RATS and
bridges. The pair of buoys belted to
the back not only floats the non-swim-
mer but is a very effective aid in learn
ing the art of swimming. For crossing
wide rivers, a raft ten feet long, COM
posed of 100 cylinders. has been used.
and this readily carried six men, forty
six knapsacks and four guns, total
weight Of 1880 pounds. Bridges are
readily pushed across narrow streams,
bridge forty feet long and three feet
wide, formed of 240 cylinders, weighing
ass pounds.
