Dogs That Draw Carts.

A traveller who has cycled hundreds
of miles in Holland has good word
for everything Dutch except the use OF
dogs in carts. He quotes some rather
affecting instances of very old or sick
dogs used in a certain district and con.
cludes that the employment of dogs as
draft animals is survival Of barbar-
ism. The cart" dog is high-spirited
eager creature. which. as rule. takes
a great deal of interest in its work.
and needs neither beating nor scold.
ing.
At The Hague the dogs which bring
the vegetables into market lie under
their carts while the cargo Is being
sold. In the afternoon when the time
for going home approaches. they bari,
excitedly, and. with their owners sit
ting in the carts, often race other dogs
home. The carts are frequently very
smart and SO is the harness. Nearly
all the milk and similar commodities
In Hege are distributed silently
quickly and early in the morning by
dog carts.

SEA LEVEL CANAL.
Engineer Says II viii Eventually BE
Necessary at Panama.

Philip Bunau-Varilia, who. before
being minister of Panama to Washing
ton. was the principal engineer of the
Panama canal. recently gave an au-
thori'ed Interview at Paris relative to
the building Of the canal at sea level
according to NJ. Bunau-varilla the
construction Of the canal at sea level
Is not only possible. but II must ulti-
mateiy be so constructed. rs are other
connections between oceans. like the
straits Of Bosphorus between the
Black sea and the Egean sea. Asked
II the Panama canal ought to be con-
structed at once at sea level, NJ. Bu-
nau-Varilla replied:
Not at all. To be at perfect sea
level the canal must be free from any
artificial work, and there is perhaps
no engineer who would be willing to
accept the responsibility of building
IL Immediately without demands upon
the upper Chagres to regulate the
floods and without tide locks at
Panama TO counteract in the canal the
currents due TO the flood tide in the
Pacific. The construction OF such a
canal would give experimental data
about the necessary cross section of
the canal, about the slopes of the deep
cut al Culebra and about the sedi
ments Of Chagres. all OF which are
essential for building a sea level pass
age successfully.
"As to changing from the lock to the
sea level form, | gave in 1887 a solu.
tion which communicated recently to
Admiral Walker. II Is an easy. prac-
tical and cheap method of gradually
transferring the local canal into a sea
level canal all the work done for the
lock canal except. naturally. dams and
locks. This solution entirely pro-
tects the future.
I'm one word, think It would be a
great error 10 begin with the sea level
plan at once. 1t would cost 500. 0.0O0,-
900 more and require twice as much
time. The lock plan will be amply
sufficient until the traffic reaches 49,
600. 900 tons-that is to say, seven
times the probable traffic in the first
years operation-and will lead by ex-
perimental and secure ways to an ideal
solution of a sea level passage"
