PLANNED FOR LARGEST SHIPS.

Locks of Nicaragua Canal to Accommo-
date Biggest Vessels Afioat.
The Federal statute under which the
Isthmian Canal Commission was Gre
ated required that body to make exam
nations and devise plans for canal
of sufficient navigable depth and of the
requisite dimensions to accommodate
the largest vessels afioat.
AS a rule, merchant ships are longer
than naval vessels, while the latter
class have relatively much the greater
beam or width. The longest vessel now
afloat is the Oceanic of the White Star
Line; it has a length of practically 704
feet. 1t is quite probable that within
a comparatively short time longer YES
sells will be built, but it would mani
festly be impracticable for the commits
sion to take into consideration the pos
sible development Of ship design for an
indefinite future period.
1t was, then, necessary to consider
those vessels at present af1oat whose
dimensions are the largest yet used,
and design the canal and its works so
as to afford a reasonable margin beyond
those limits, but not so great as to in
yolve excessive cost. To meet these
conditions the locks were designed to
give clear length of 74O feet and a
clear width of "a feet. The greatest
beam or breadth of warship at present
is practically II feet. The locks, there
fore, meet the requirements Of the law
and give some room for developments
beyond the maximum limits of size al
ready attained.
1t is well known that ships drawing
as much as thirty-two feet in sea water
have entered or passed from New York
harbor as well as some other ports,
and there is no reason to believe that
the limit Of draught has yet been reach
ed. 1t was, therefore, decided that the
least navigable depth in the canal
should be thirty five feet, and that limit
has been carefully observed throughout
it's entire length. In the harbor en-
frances at the extremities Of the canal,
says William II. Burr, in Scribner's.
this depth of thirty five feet is provided
at mean low tide.

They learn readily to abandon those
acts which bring discomfort and to
emphasize those which are successful
in securing them food, shelter, warmth
and the companionship of their fellows.
Their learning, like that of the fishes,
is essentially process of selection.
For instance, a chick is confined in a
cage from which it can escape only by
pecking at certain spot, and SO open
ing the door. 1t sees other chicks and
food outside and reacts to the situation
(confinemenO according to its Unborn or
ganization, by running about, peeping,
jumping at the walls, trying to squeeze
through any small openings and peck
ing at the barriers confning it. The
chick feels a score or more of impulses
to a score or more of acts. If its re-
action include one particular act
namely, a peck at certain spot-it Of
course escapes. This one act is fol-
lowed by freedom. food and general
comfort The other acts resulted only
in continuance of the unpleasant soli-
tary confinement.
If, after the chick has enjoyed free
dom for awhile, we put it into the cage
again we>have repetition of the first
event, except that the chick is likely to
run and peep and jump and squeeze
less and to peck at the door sooner. If
we continue this process, so that the
chick is again and again confronted by
the situation-'' confinement in box of
such and such appearance"-it con-
stantly decreases the useless acts and
performs the suitable one sooner and
sooner, until finally it pecks at the spot
Immediately whenever put into that
box. 1t has learned, we say, to get out
of the box by pecking at certain spot.

THEY NEVER CHANGE:

The moon an the women is jest the same
Sence OF Bill Shakspeare's times.
The moon as round and the girls as
strange
As when Bill wrote his rhymes.
I've read in the whole endurin' lot
OF stuff by men of fame
I'VE read 'em allan / tell you what,
The girls is jest the same.
There was Byron, Dryden, an Alex
Pope,
An honest Thomas Moore,
They sang of girls, an Of blasted hope,
An by the moon they swore.
The girls are the same as Bobby Burns
Sang in a sad refrain
The more man studies 'em, less he learns,
For sech research is in vain.
The moon an the women they make no
change,
AS poets sing to-day;
The moons as round, an the girls as
strange,
An that's the mournful lay.
The moon goes on, jest as calm an
bright,
AS round the world she whirls-
They swear by the moon in the dreary
night,
An swear about the girls.
