PANAMA ROUTE SAVES TIME.
1t as Through the Nicaragua,
Says This AuthOrity

The time required for passing
through transisthmian canal is an
important feature of the problems: it
is affected by the length, by the num-
Der of locks, by the number of curves
and by the sharpness of the curvature,
for, in general, it is not feasible to run
a ship on curve in narrow channel
with the same speed as on straight
course, unless, indeed, the curvature
is very slight.
The speed is also affected by the
depth of water under the keel Of the
ship. 1t is well known that the same
power applied to ship in deep wa
ter of unlimited width will produce
a much higher rate of movement than
the same power applied to the same.
ship in restricted waterway, espe-
cially when the draught Of the ship is
but little less than the depth of the wa
ter.
These considerations all have their
bearings upon the dimensions of ship
canal, and they have probably never
before received such careful consider
alton in connection with the design
ing of waterway as by the isthmian
canal commission. The effect of the
depth and width of the canal on the
time of passage by either route was
determined with as great degree of
accuracy as the data at the command
of engineers at the present time will
permit. Equally careful considera-
ton was given to the effect of curva.
ture and to the time of passing
through the locks on each line, the
latter including the delay of slowing
on approaching the lock and of in
creasing the speed after passing it, the
time of opening and closing the gates
and the time of emptying or filling tho
locks.
The computations based upon all
these elements Of the question indi-
cate that what may be called an aver
age ship will require 80 hours for pass.
ing through the Nicaragua canal and
~ hours for the Panama canal. 1t il
thus seen, says writer in Scribner's.
that the time of passage through the
Panama canal will not much exceed
one-third of the time required by the
Nicaragua route.

nor High Can n Balloon Rise {.

The altitude that may be attained
by balloon depends, first, upon its
size; secondly, upon the filing of gas,
and, thirdly, upon the weight being
carried. A balloon of ordinary size,
$4,000 cubic feet, carrying the smallest
weight-that is, one person-when filled
with illuminating gas may reach 10000
feet, but when filled with hydrogen
27,000 feet. In order to ascend higher
we first of all need bigger balloon.
One may say it was happy chance
that the Royal Meteorological institute
of Berlin was provided with balloon
of the unusual dimensions OF 100000
cubic feet. The German emperor fur
nished $500 for making experiments
with it, and the Meteorological insti-
tute decided to make use of this op-
portunity for studying the highest re-

THE WORD PARADISE.
It's Earliest Meaning Was nm In.
closed Pleasure Ground.

It's Earliest Meaning Was an In
closed Pleasure Ground.
The earliest meaning of the word
paradise appears to have been a walled
in pleasure ground. In the Hebrew it
was "perdes," in the Persian "ferdus,"
and from one or other of these the
Greeks appear to have derived the
word "paradeisos," from which we get
our own word. We also know that the
ancient monarchs of Chaldea and AS
syria and also of Egypt CONSTRUCTED vast
Enclosures of forest land for the preser
walton of wild animals kept for hunt
ing purposes, and these were also call
ed paradises. Thus, the historical
meaning of the word comes to this: A
space protected from all incursion from
the outer world, in which those who
We're privileged to enter We're able to
indulge in such pleasures as pleased
their fancy.
1t Is easy to see the translation from
the material to the spiritual meaning,
paradise in the latter sense meaning
the place of the elect or chosen. This
is strikingly borne out by the fact that
the favorite battlecry Of the Moslems,
whose firm belief it is that those who
die fighting go straight to heaven, was
always Eight! Fight! Paradise! Para
disc" And the strong probability Is
that they got the word from the Per-
sian campaigns of the eighth century.
The use of the word in it's present form
III the New Testament is of Greek
origin. and its, description as applied
to the garden of Eden is probably of
Hebrew origin, dating from the period
of the captivity.

VAGARlES OF THE TIDES.
Curious Currents In the Ocean ana
It's OH-hoots

There nrc as many vagarIes in tile
waters ms In the winds. why, for in
stance, should three great ocean cur
rents send their warm waters across
the wide Pacific. Atlantic and around
the Cape of Good Hope? There have
been many theories advanced to solve
the problem of their origin, but all
have proved fallacious. Other and
equally mysterious currents exist in
well nigh all parts of the world. The
tides are so erratic in different parts Of
the world that one hesitates to accept
the theory that the moon controls them
in all cases.
1t Is on record that the sea has run
for weeks out of the Java sea through
the strait of Sunda and thence back
again for like period without any per-
ceptible rise or fall during those times.
Then there is the equatorial current
that flows into the Caribbean sea, the
ever flowing current to the eastward
around Cape Horn the cold stream
flowing from the icy regions of the
north past Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia and along the American coast
to the extreme end of Florida, the con
tinual current running with a velocity
of from four to flve knots an hour
through the strait of Gibraltar into
the Mediterranean sea, the swift cur
rent running across the rocks and
shoals off the end of Billion island
which apparently starts from nowhere
and ends somewhere in the vicinity OF
the same place, and the current which
starting half way up the China sea
runs from two to three knots an houl
to the northeast and finally ends alb
ruptly off the north end of Luzon.
Then we have those tidal vagarie:
