A Phase of Human Nature.

There is just now passing through the newspapers a paragraph from the Westminster Gazette, perhaps intended to be humorous, yet illustrating a phase of human nature familiar to everybody. An English officer, the story goes, was stationed at Cairo, Egypt, for two years yet he never took the trouble or time to look at the Pyramids at close range. He ex- plained that he never had a minute" to himself. polo, parties and bridge whist consuming his entire time. No doubt the secret of this mans fail- ure to observe may be set down as the result of knowing that the Pyramids were there and that he could see them

The Fair a Losing Investment.

While no statement of the financial condition of the Louisiana Purchase exposition has been issued, it is known that the exposition company alone ex- pended p million dollars, and that the receipts were not more than 10 mil- lions.
 In the exuberance of their enthusi- asm the St Louis papers thought they might escape the fate of other worlds fair cities. They knew, none better. how many years it took Chicago to re- cover from the Arrangement Of its business incidental to the Columbian exposition. They had before them the example of Omaha with it's i'll -fated effort to command fortune by con- polling the unwilling attention of an indifferent world. Paris, with its woI-- derful fair and its failure, was not Eoo remote to be remembered. Then thsIe was the exposition of Buffalo--which. it is true, was not an accomplished failure when St. Louis undertook it's great work. The worlds fair has never been a financial success-and not al- ways a success from an educational or advertising point of view. And wa must assume that worlds fair cities have always been inspired by the hcpes of ultimate material profit. rather than by desire to educate and enighten-
 In brilliant contrast with the failures that have attended the effor~s oe worlds fair promoters are the uuner- ous and substantial successes attained by the communities that have essaye1 industrial and educational eXpo5itions localized to states or restricted sections of the country. Under wise direction they have been almost universally suc- cessful both in the pecuniary and edG- cational sense. They have reached and interested the people they sought 10 attract and educate.
 The only big exposition at present scheduled in this country. the Lewis and Clark, to be held at Portland, Ore, next year is so fixed in it's scope that success is more than possible. It will appeal to people inspired by the same genius, though scattered over ] wide territory-and it will get as many rich people who can afford to undercak kr a long and expensive journey for the sake of seeing something new as though it were labeled a worlds fair.

TOT by 50 feet, when errors of 10 feet were dangerously objectionable.
 By means of these important discov- cries, it now appears that a so-called sea-level canal can no longer be re- garded as the ignis fatuus of even two years ago, and if the subterranean ex- plorations, now being carried on by many drilling outfits, justify the conceptions forming from our growing knowledge of the sur face, the sea-level canal has be- come almost probability. It has long been a toast at public din~ ners on the isthmus. but more from an instinctive desire than because the facts warranted the idea. But this is not the first time in the history of en- gineering that instinct has pointed the path which in the end appeared to be the best. Indeed, this has taken place already in the decision to build an in- teroceanic canal across some part of Central America; because, after all the surveys and commissions which have examined the various routes, the final decision has rested upon almost the precise route adopted by the early Spanish conquistadores. who followed an old and substantially the same route between the Atlantic and the Pa cific as is now being covered by the Panama canal.
 If, as who shall doubt, we are sue cessful in this great enterprise, and if a sea-level canal finally is decided up on, the credit will belong to the young engineers now at work upon the isth- mus; who received their education in the technical schools of this country; who abandoned the amenities of life in a civilized land and healthful clim- ate, for salaries in many cases no greater than are paid for service at home; and who, in a few months, of ten while performing the work of day laborers, have accomplished more than was developed in 20 years Of expensive effort before their arrival.

A vast majority Of the people living in Arizona have never taken the trouble to visit the Grand Canyon, one of the greatest wonders on the planet. And yet. Arizona people are travellers.
