The Panama Canal Dream.

ENOdArA D.
 There is no greater mockery in nature thaa the Jungie-ladsn rib which holds two continents in communion. By land 1t is forty-seven miles from Colon to Panama; by sea 1t is 5000. The hrst conception of the canal belongs to the first man who crossed the isthmus. When Balboa looked down upon the Pacific from the heights of the Cordilleras, he tn- evitably let his imagination play on the possibility of splitting the pregnantiy narrow barrier under his feet with ths merged waters of two oceans. Another Spanish explorer, Don Angel Souyedra. went 90 far seven years later as to po- tition his King about his splendid dream. Certainly 1t Is no discredit to Charles v.'s wisdom. considering the limited commerce with the Western world hundred years before the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. and consid- erinK the absence of steam dredges and diamond drills. that the plan was pigeon holsd.
 In 1850, Glavso. Portugess navigator. wrote a book to prove the feasibility of the project. Throughout the sixteenth. seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. nayigators and adventurers and govern ments were fascinated by the superb possibility in much the same way that we moderns are with the possibility of communication with Mars. It was the cause of the unfortunate expedition ofl the British against Nicaragua and thS object of q Spanish scientific expeditioh to Panama in 17S0. Congress began pass lI:g resolutions on the subject early fn the century and is still hard at it The two favorite routes of today were the two favorite routes of 200 years ago.

an orange has finally been developed

than the varieties that have heretofore
been known. Ca%lifornians are eagerly
inquiring about the new variety, for it.

The floods at Paterson have ceased
to be a wonder. 1t now seems evident
the city will be partly submerged
every time there is all unusually
heavy rain for a portion of the land
is only a few feet higher than the
river. This being the case, Paterson
should send a commission to the
Netherlands to investigate the art of
building dikes or go to New Orleans
to see how the Mississippi is handled
and plan to keep the river in its bed
upon such occasions as have just past.
The people know now what to expect
and unless something is done to pro-
vide against the reoccurrence of the
floods, the city will lose the sympathy
as we'll as actual assistance which
have heretofore been offered on all
sides.
