Homer wrote of the long haired
Greeks by way of honorable distinc

cicnt Persians wore long, flowing hair
The Franks and ancient Teutons con
sldered long hair a mark of high birth.
The Goths looked on long hair as a
mark of honor and on short hair ms a
mark of thraldom. So did the Gnuls.
for which reason Julius Caesar. when
he subducd them, obliged them 10 cut
their hair short In token of submission.
In England judges. the speaker of
the house of commons and at one time
the bishops wore long hair. while Grim

the other hand. Jewish priests during
their time of service had their hair cut

wore their hair and beard long. but
shaved their heads when manumltted.
Sailors who escaped from shlpwreck

Its Monte Carlo correspondent under
the date of Nov. 90 This morning
saw something entirely new In the way
of boas. A very fashlonably dressed
English woman out for her morning
walk was the originator Of this new
style. On her shoulder was seated a
beautiful little black and white 'oul-
stiti,' and his long, bushy tail, which
was twice the size Of the little monkey,
was twisted around the lady's neck. 1t

vnntages of New War Engine.
In speaking OF the test of the subma-
rine boat Fulton to n reporter of the
New York Herald and what it showed
in naval methods Rear Admiral Lowe
said:
"The Fulton has shown what could
be done in case of need In actual war
fare in many instances. Suppose she
had made an attack upon a hostile
fleet, had discharged all of her torpe-
does and been discovered. She is abso-
lutely without means of defense except
her powers of disappearance.
"She might be surrounded and pur-
sued so closely that 1t would be danger
Gus TO attempt to run away even under
water. In that case she need only to
drop quietly to the bottom and rest
there. without noise or effort or any
thing to betray her presence. She can
remain there for four or five days and
in case of emergency, If the food holds
out, for week. Her escape then would
be almost certain"

vary from about nineteen feet to forty
feet. From lock No. to lock No. .
there Is stretch of canal nearly elev-
en- miles long. The cost of this section
will be very nearly a million a mile.
1t will include the lock known as No.
.. Then comes another stretch of
nearly seventeen miles to the third
lock, and the cost increases TO nearly n
million and quarter n mile. There
then begins quite rise in the land,
and the next two sections are rather
short. The first of these to lock No. 4
is only two and thrce-quarter miles
farther on. a little less than five and
half miles farther the canal enters
the San Juan river above the San Juan
dam at Conchuda.
Heretofore the canal has followed n
course TO the north Of the river. Now
for distance Of about fifty miles the
river Is made TO do duty as the canal.
This portion of the route is known as
the San Juan river section. The river
must be dredgcd and made navigable,
| and the cost viii be less than SJ0O,OOO
n mile.
Leaving the river at this point Of
/ departure from the lake, the course
/ will next be across Lake Nicaragua.
| For fifty and half miles the traffic of
the future will 20 through the lake.
! The low cost is one of the things that
makes 1t possible for the United States
| TO construct the canal by this route.
1t is estimated at n little more than
! S11250O per mile. Nine miles beyond
the lake will be lock No. 3. There the
excavation win be very heavy as the
divide beyond the lake is climbed, and
enormous receiving basins are neces-
sary to intercept the Rio Grande, Las
! Lajas pu1 Chocolate rivers. The total
cost of the expenditure at this point
will be more than $2i,J00,000.
The canal Is now very near the Pa
clfc side, and the drop begins. To lock
No. 6 is only distance of about a
mile. The excavation and the lock will
cost about $7,50O,0OO. To lock No.
the distance is less than two miles, and
the work will swell the cost $7,000,00O
more The next rapid step down the
Pacific slope is to lock No. s and last
two miles and half. which will cost
the government nearly SG,000,000. This
lock will bring shipping within mile
and quarter of Brito and into salt
water, practically to the end of the ca
nal.
In final surveys the commission has
been able to shorten the canal and omit
one lock. and the length is given al
1886 miles. or this length 1918 viii
be OF the canal. and the remainer will
be lake and river. There are severa
deep cuts on the canal. Near the Con
chuda dam the depth will be at on'
point more than 200 feet The cut a
Tamborcito. twenty-six miles from
Greytown. is to be the deepest of all.
The high ground to the north is 81
close to the river that Il cut through
It became necessary. The ridge is near
ly all of hard rock. and while at 1t
base it is only 5000 feet from side L
side the depth of the cut will be 30
feet. There is also heavy cutting n
Conchuda and at the divide west o
the lake.
The canal will have a system of dou
BILE locks, so that in case one is dis
abled or closed for repairs or renewa
the other can take care of the traffic
and commerce will not be interrupted
