The Isthmian canal project was made
in the senate yesterday by Mr.. HaT-

also an engineer Of recognized abil-

details of canal construction was lis
tened to with profound attention. He
strongly advocated the selectick of
the Nicaragua route. He maintained
that it was entirely feasible and prac-

point, and said that some of the diff
fculties presented by the Panama
route were insuperable-notably the
construction of the Bohio dam.
During the early part of the ses-

methods for the development OF the
power of Personal Magnetism that have
ever been published During all the time
Or. Sage was before the public he made
ii his business to note carefully the
effect of hypnotism upon the human
mind. He became convinced that this
mighty mysterious power could be util-
lied TO the advantage of ambitious men
and women who wished to better their
condition in life. To demonstrate the
correctness of his ideas when he retired
from public life he founded a college
where Hypnotism Personal Magnetism,
Magnetic Healing, etc, might be taught
along the definite lines he had laid
down. The result is that the college has
grown to be the largest of its kind in

the great practical benefits to be de-
