No one will question either the purity nor the grandeur of De Lessips' original conception of sea-level canal at Panama His failure was not due to his impracticability of his concep- ton, or to the impossibility of its ex- ecution, even with the means at his command under ordinary conditions. His failure was brought about by the selfshness and insincerity which ani- mated his advisers and followers, as
 sisted by financial complications, and accelerated by climatic conditions, says a writer in the Engineering Mag azine. To what extent the American project will be hampered in this way remains yet to be seen. It will cer- tainly be the part of wisdom to refrain from undue criticism of the past until the tale of the future is told. The technical studies of the French were apparently exhaustive, and are entitled to most careful consideration by American engineers in charge of the work. Such studies supplemented by careful investigation and verification, particularly as to basic facts, will be of material assistance in arriving at proper conclusions. The elaborate preparations made by the French, and the provision for the health and con- fort of employees were certainly credit able, and in the light of sanitary knowledge available at the time. were excellent. Considering all the condi- tions, the amount of work actually ac- complished was substantial at least, and from an engineering point of view success would have been obtained, had the moral, commercial, financial and climatic influences been less potent.

Judicious care in handling has, however, proved sufficient to eliminate this objection able quality, and the usefulness and abundance of the red gum, with the growing scarcity of poplar and cotton wood, which it resembles in several ways, have brought about it's increas- ing use by the mills, until now furni- ture factories in cities alone consume between forty million and sixty million broad feet year, and the wood may be regarded as firmly established in the market. Bulletin 5S of the Bureau of Forestry, just published, is the fruit of thorough study of the red gum and of its value for various purposes. At time when new woods are sought for substitutes for those of which the supplies have been depleted, such studies are in request among lumber men and wood manufacturers. Knowl- edge of the red gum will be especially welcomed by them in view of the plen- tiful supplies of the timber and the particular need of a wood possessing its qualities.

The secret service officials believe that the sale of lottery tickets in this country has been effectuaIly broken up by a number of arrests and confisca- ton of tickets at different points. The headquarters of the lottery combine was in San Francisco, but they had travelling men on the road establishing agencies. Nearly all the men promi- nently identified with the concern have been arrested, and arrests have been made in half a dozen different cities of the country of people who received shipments of tickets. Secret service agents have done most of the work, but where there were no agents the arrests have been made by United States marshals. The prosecution of the lottery people was started by the district attorney of San Francisco, and be has been helped by the department of justice, Assistant Attorney General Purdy being in charge. There Is little doubt, says the Washington Star, that the business will be broken up. The law prevents the shipment of lottery tickets by any form of conveyance in this country, and the person who re- ceives such a ticket Is as liable as the person who shipped 1t.
