Corinthian canal Phenomena.


The remarkable canal, less than four
miles long. cut through the Isthmus of
Corinth and opened in 1898, 25 centuries
after the time of Fernandez, who
projected a similar work, has proved a
disappointment partly because it is too
small for very large steamships, and part
ly because of peculiar tidal and atmos-
pheric phenomena. The high winds,
which occasionally turn the Gulf of Cor
NTH into a raging sea, make a huge air
shaft of the canal, the walls of which are,
in places, 260 feet high, although the
depth of water is only 26 feet and the
width so feet. Thus mighty currents
of air rush through from one gulf to the
other" Then, owing to a difference in
the time of high water in the Corinthian
and the Sardonic CULTS. a troublesome re-
versing tidal current is met with in the
canal.

Radium and Science.

Sir Oliver Lodge protests against the
lcurrent idea that the discovery of radi-
IYm in any way shakes the long-accepted
ws of science. On the contrary, it o n
firms them, as the instability of matter
which radium proves was theoretically
acquired if the electric theory of it's con-
stitution were true, and radium COM
pletes this theory instead of destroying
it. Radium gives us, in embryo, a trans
mutation of the elements.
