: New York.-The recent appointment

terest in this tremendous project,
which is no less than digging canal
equal in length to most of the so-calieo

greatest canal scheme of modern times,
and while it presents difaculties, sucn
as passing the cataracts Of the Dnieper

impracticable.
While the canal is primarily q
strategic work, for Russia has large

rather with some sleepy English provin-
cial town than with the great business of
the new world. Just 13 years before
these canons were declared in force
Bishop Potter formally inaugurated
the work on the cathedral on st. Johns
day, 1891. The visible results of these
years of building seem remarkably
small to the man who is accustomed
to watch a modern sky-scraper shoot
20 stories from the ground in the
course of few months. A better idea
of the progress that has already been
made is obtained when one stops to con-
slider how different is the erection of a
great cathedral and of steel Office
building.
In modern times few persons have
been bold enough to attempt to erect

builders of the middle ages expended
their strength and genius. In the in.

their mechanical skill has increased
