MAP OF CAPE COD.

Massachusetts records of 1915 contain
a reference to the project, and in 1887
the general court of the state appoint
ed commission ito view a place for
a passage to be cut through the land
in Sandwich from Barnstable bay to
Mahomet bay for vessels to pass
through to and from the western parts
of the country" One of George
Washington's engineers made sur
vey for the purpose of a canal in the
year 1776, and about forty years later,
when John G.. Calhoun was secretary
of war in the cabinet of President
Monroe. he reported In favor of the
construction of such a canal His idea
was that a chain of artificial water
ways might be constructed which
would afford continuous passage for
vessels of war as well as ships Of
commerce from Boston all the way
down the Atlantic coast, so that at no
place would they be compelled to go
into the open sea. A portion of this
plan was actually carried out. But
the Cape Cod canal was not built. In
1885 another move in the matter was
made, and about a mile Of canal was
really dug.
Cutting off the forearm stretching
out from the mainland of Massachu-
sets into the sea would shorten the
route usually pursued by vessels from
Long Island sound by about 80 miles,
and the dangers met with on this
treacherous coast in winter would be
avoided. 1t is estimated that the ca
nal could be built in three years.

Few stop to consider the amount OF
labor performed daily by the human
heart. The ineNhaastible supply of en-
ergy displayed 10y this overworked or
gan is marvellous. Calculation has
shown that the work OF the heart or
an average person Is equal to the feat
Of lifting over five tons at the rate or
a foot an hour or 125 tons In twenty
four hours. A certain DIR. Richardson
once made curious calculation In re-
gard to the work performed by the
heart In mileage. He presumed that
the blood was forced out OF the heart
at each palpitation in the proportion of
sixty-nine strokes "A minute and at the
assumed distance of nine feet. At this
rate the flow of the blood through tho
body would be 207 yards minute, or
seven miles an hour. This would make
40 miles n day. or 81 900 miles a year.
Thus in lifetime OF eighty-fo years
the blood in the human body would
travel over 100000 miles. The num-
Der OF beats of the heart required to
send the blood that far would be over
