WHEN YOU ARE DRUNK.

A legal friend has kindly expounded
to us for our guidance what consti-
tutts intoxication according to the
decisions Of the courts. 1t seems that
it depends more upon what state of
the Union you are in than upon what
state of decomposition you are in.
You may be as drunk as boiled owl
according to the rulings of one state
and fit to exercise all the privileges
of citizenship according to those of
another. In Oregon you are not drunk
in the eye of the law so long as you
can lie on the ground and hold on to
the grass In Virginia you may be so
overcome as to find it necessary to lie
down in the road, but while you can
wave your arm-or your leg, no doubt
at an approaching team. you are not
legally intoxicated. We shall note these
valuable distinctions carefully, and
govern ourselves accordingly when
next our travels take us to Oregon or
Virginia. ...-.

huge embankments, at the expense of
making an equally deep cut in the
Eastern divide and of raising second
dam at Machuca Rapids, either retain
ing the site at Ochoa. or replacing the
dam there by one at Tambour Grande
below. Of this prospective change Ad-
miral Walker says:
"We have had some parties out to
find how far we would have to run en-
bankments, and it is quite possible they
may be as bad as the San Francisco
embankments. think the chances
are. by putting dam at Machuca and
q dam below at Ochoa. or Tambour
Grande, and taking a low level route,
we NAV escape this heavy work and get
into Greytown with considerable less
expenditure of money, and with canal
that would not, perhaps, keep its super
intendent awake at nights so much"
Evidently the plans of the Nicaragua
Canal cannot be regarded as definitely
determined. But it is not only in the
construction of the Canal proper that
serious difficulties are to be encountered.
When the writer traversed the transit
route in 1856, the harbor at Greytown
was open to the largest steamers, and
presented no difficulty. Today, owing
to the travel of sand along the coast,
under the influence of the winds and
waves, the port no longer exists for sea-
going vessels. The jetty constructed
during 1S90-93 by the Canal Company
has proved a total failure, and the prob
lem is now presented, not in the simple
form of making a new port, but of re-
opening an old one which nature has
decided to close. American engineers
have had experience in the difficulty
and cost of such constructions at Fer
River, at Brazos, and at many other
points; and before undertaking canal
it would seem to be prudent to reopen
and the probable annual outlay for
maintenance A canal, access to which
would be subjected to occasional inter-
ruptions from natural forces now known
to be in action, would be serious mis-
take and it may be added that study
of the six charts accompanying the re-
port of the Ludlow Commission, show
ing the condition of this port at five
different dates between 1882 and 1895,
is not reassuring.
AS to the important element OF the
cost of the Canal, there appears to be
considerable difference of opinion. The
chief engineer of the Company estimat-
ed it, in 1895, at $69,S93 $50, and the
Ludlow Commission, at the same date,
at $133, 1913. Engineers will recog-
nize the impossibility of exact figures in
the present state of the Investigations
now in progress under the Walker Com.
mission; and each of the members has
carefully guarded himself from express
ing definite opinion. Admiral Walker,
at his recent examination before the
Senate committee, said:
"We have made no figures. 1t is no
use to figure on the thing until we have
all our data. But 1 do not see why that
canal cannot be built. I should think
myself, speaking as anybody in the
street might speak, that the Canal
could be put through for 1875 millions
and it would not surprise me if it came

cred even in times
of flood.
1t would seem from this analysis that
there can be little difference of opinion
as to which is the better route. But
perhaps some enthusiastic advocate will
say, "The Nicaragua Canal may be the
more costly, may present more natural
difficulties, may require more time for
construction, and may be less easy of
transit; but let US have an American
canal. made with our own money, and
wholly under our own control"
Such considerations are outside the
province of an engineer. But, perhaps,
it may be suggested that we have al
ready interests and responsibilities on
the Isthmus, where the Panama Rail
road was built and is now controlled by
an American company, under American
protection that the business control of
any canal must vest in its stock and
hond-holders, in time of peace, while, in
fact, in time of war-unless it's neutral
ity be guaranteed by the great maritime
Powers-the transit will be controlled
by the belligerent having command of
the sea.
May it not, then, be wiser for our
Government to extend it's powerful
assistance to what Nature has deter
mined as the best route, rather than to
eXpend more time and more money for
what, after all is said, must remain
distinctly inferior canal, unable to COM
pete with it's rival for the commerce of
the world? HENRY l.. ABBOT.

SOME ODD THINGS
olives Which Grew Seasfck on the
Voyage Here.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
A large percentage of the olives coming
to this country, the dealers say, suffer
with the human malady of seasickness on
their ocean voyage. AS in the human be-
ing, the seasickness of the olive is the
result of the vessels rolling and pitch
ing, which in some way affects the
strength Of the brine in which they are
packed, and in consequence the olive turns
dark and sick, and must be cured quickly
or it will succumb to the attack.
A large importing house in this city has
two expert chemists or doctors" who
examine all olives at the steamer dock
upon their arrival. The seaslck olives
are at once taken from the brine. care
fully washed and deposited in strong,
clean brine, which in most cases has the
salutary effect desired. Some olives re-
vive and are then none the worse; in
fact, they are often improved in quality.
The importation of olives reached 1,300,-
900 gallons here last year. The finest
olives grown come to the United States.
In France they eat the crescent olive,
which is home grown. About $4,000 gal
Ions OF these come to this country, but
they are considered inferior to the Span
ish. In England the edible olive is small
cheap and oily. Most of the fine Spanish
queen olives, which grow within fifty
mile radius Of Seville and nowher else,
come to this country and constitute be-
tween so and 70 per cent of the entire
importation. They are not popular in
Spain, as they are deemed too expensive,
and the Spanish people prefer to ship
them and obtain the money. The consti-
tuition of the olive is very delicate. From
the time the crop is gathered until it is
finally packed in the bottle there is not
moment which is not fraught with the in
tensest anxiety on the part Of all WIN
handle the fruit.
Some three years ago there was 20
per cent advance in the price of olives
owing to the shortage of the crop. The
price, however, has been maintained and
importers believe it will remain high.
Olives are usually imported in the bulk,
as the duty on bottled olives is 40 per
cent ad valorem, while in barrels there is
a specific duty of Is cents a gallon, which
is much cheaper

THOMAS EDISON'S DEAFNESS.


That Thomas A. Edison is deaf is fact
well known to the public. Only his init
mate friends, however. are aware that in
his case deafness is more a psychological
phenomenon than a physical condition.
That which interests him he can usually
hear very well, but to that which does
not interest him he can be as deaf as the
proyerbial adder.
Not long ago specialist in diseases of
the ear called ucon Mr.. Edison and un-
folded a plan of treatment which he was
sure would restore his hearing. The in
ventor listened to his story with patience,
as it was informative on several points.
To the proposition that he submit to
treatment, however, MI. Edison opposed
an emphatic negative.
what I'm afraid off, said he, as that
you would be successful. Just think what
a lot of stuff I'd have to listen to that
don't want to hear! To be little deaf
and be the only one who knows just how
deaf you are has it's advantages, and on
the whole, 1 think / prefer to let well
