GREAT OCEAN HIGHWAYS.

Panama Canal VIII Create a New
worlds street Of the Seas"
The completion of the new Panama
canal viii have some marked effects
upon the great lanes OF ocean travel.
Vessels have. to be sure, for years gone
into Panama and Colon for the trans
shipment Of their freight across the
isthmus by rail The effect Of the
opening Of the new canal may be lik-
ened, says the London Mail to that of
the substitution Of strong bridge at
a convenient place for crossing a river
for more or less uncertain ford. Such
a bridge attracts wagon roads The
canal viii draw toward it the CONNER
eial highways Of the hemisphere.
Vessels which are operated BY steam
can pursue an almost unvarying line.
Their managers accordingly prescribe
courses between various ports, known
as lanes, over which practically all the
shipping moves In case Of break
down the vessel is much sooner pick
ed up" on a lane than ia less frequent
ed parts of the sea. Moreover, rocks
dereltcts and other distractions may
be more carefully charted and watched
on the highly travelled courses.
There Is usually an east and west
lane few miles apart to lessen the
danger of collision Out of Duluth. on
the great lakes, there is four track
lane, two for passenger steamers and
two for freighters.
Although the oceans Of the world
have no visible streets or crossings or
slgnposts, in the eye Of the navigator
they are thus very distinctly marked
No railroad train makes so direct a
line between points as the steamship;
no locomotive engineer knows more
exactly where he II at all times than
the sea captain
Sailing vessels, responsive to winds,
tides and currents, go about more at
random, yet there are enormous areas
of the sea where no sail or snokestaek
is ever seen. Even on the steamship
lanes of the Pacific one seldom spies a
vessel in trip across that ocean,

no doubt, was a relic of olden times

anybody to bring forth a single advan-
tage the top hat offered The caps SO
universally worn were close, warm and
heavy and impeded the growth Of the
hair. Young children's hair would
grow strong In very short time If
their heads were left uncovered. There
was no possible doubt that the fresh
air admitted to the head prevented gray
hairs and badness. Mr. Kremnitz
further urged the adoption Of sandals
In dry weather. These he particularly
recommended for the use OF the poorer
classes, as he considered that bad
and old wornout boots were a source
Of disease.
