One of the new waterways from
which great things may be expected is
the Sabine Lake canal, Is miles long,
connecting the Sabine and Teches riv-
ers and making new and important
route to the Gulf of Mexico and the At
hntic ocean by way of Sabine lake,
which lies between Louisiana and
Texas. The first shipment has been
made through the canal in the form of
a load Of lumber bound for England.
The canal illustrates in a moderate
degree what may be accomplished
through a general plan OF developing
deep waterways. Every facility thus
provided will mean additional oppor-
tunities for home and foreign uade,
fostered by cheap and convenient
transportation.

Water and Life.

OF all the conditions preparatory to
life. the presence of water, composed
Of oxygen and hydrogen, is at once the
most essential and the most world
wide. For if water be present, the
presence of other necessary elements
is probably assured. If water exist,
that fact goes bail for the necessary
temperature, the gamut of life being
co-extensive with the existence of wa
ter as such. 1t is so consequentially,
declares Prof. Lowell's "The Evolution
of Life in the Century, life being i'm
possible without water. Whatever the
planet, this is of necessity true. But
the absolute degrees of temperature
within which life can exist vary ac-
cording to the mass of the body, an
other OF the ways in which mere size
tells. On the earth PIP degrees F.
limits the range at the top, and 32 de-
grees F. at the bottom in the case of
fresh water, 81 degrees F. in the case
OF salt. On a smaller planet both
limits would be lowered, the top one
the most. On Mars the boiling point
would probably be about ITO degrees
F. Secondly, from the general initial
oneness of their constituents, planet
that still possesses water will probably
retain the other substances that are
essential to life; gases, for the reason
that water vapor is next to hydrogen
and helium the lightest of them all;
and solids because their weight would
still more conduce to keep them there
Water, indeed, acts as solution to
the whole problem.

All that is known to-day about the
Etruscans, a people who gave Rome
her civilization and refinement, her
arts and sciences, many if not all of
her political, religious and social insti-
tutions and the weapons and appli-
ances OF war which enabled her to con-
quer the world, has been gathered from
the mighty cemeteries of Etruria, and
it has been said that "sepulchers re-
vealed what history ignored" In very
early times the power Of Etruria is
said to have extended all over Italy,
but gradually the Gauls and the Sa-
bines, the Greek colonists, and later
the Romans succeeded in diminishing
this widespread dominion and reduced
it to the limits of the central region or
mother country, which is known as
Etruria Proper and which was bounded
by the Apennines on the north, by the
Tiber on the east, and by the Mediter-
ranean on the west and south.
