he determined nv the time required for building
dams and locks which would, according 10 cur
rent estimates. be considerably more Than that
required for excavation. Indeed, the building OF
dams and locks for a high level canal Wouid
probably take longer than the excavation LOT
sea level canal The high level plan was adopt
ed largely because it was supposed to be the
more expeditions but there is now strong reason
for suspecting that it would prove the slower OF
tne two.
Another reason for adopting the lock plan was
that ii was supposed TO be less costly In money
The old canal commission estimated the general
cost OF excavation at so cents CUBIC yafu
Last year it-cOst just 40 cents. The orlglhai
estimate of the cost of rock excavation under
water was 81 10 yard. 1t has now been shown
that il can be done for less tha1b50 cents Ii Is
not beyond bounds OF reason, therefore, TO sus-
pect that the sea level cut might be made as
cheapIy in dollars and cents as lock canal could
be constructed 1t is conceded that money est-
mates are notoriously untrustwOrthy. LeSseps
at first expected 10 cut sea level canal 2o 1eef
deep In eight years for S114,00QO00. but nine
years later reckoned that his best performance
would be q lock canal 10 feet deep in twenty
years for S351. 100000. In 1893 the new French
company hoped 10 complete lock canal IN
twelve years for S1S0,O00,000, and in 1900 our
commission estimated that TO complete the lock
canal on the French plans would cost Sl42,542,-
579. OF course, there have been material changes
| of plans since 1906 TO provide for the passage
of larger ships than were then in existence, and
| the prospective cost of the canal has thus been
increased. But inasmuch as the actual cost OF
excavating 59,773,179 cubic yards. the whole
amount under the American occupation ncluo-
| ing administration and plant as well as labor,
has been only S51 900, it does seem as though
the work of excavating sea level canal might
be finished at a reasonable cost.

ANOTHER RIPPLE OF EXPECTANCY.

While there are no statistics available at the
moment, it is stated on good authority that the
number of persons in any line of employment
who do not think they ought 10 have, at least
twice much as they are receiving could be
counted by the armless wonder on the fingers
of one hand. Although not specifically men
toned in the Constitution, it may be presumed
that the makers of the immortal document in
tended its provisions to cover the aspiration for
an increase in salary.
At present there is said TO be ripple of ex-
pectation running through the employees of the
national government in this city because of
the suggestion that more remuneration may be
forthcoming There is tide all the time which
washes up enough increases in municipal saa-
res even In the face of big deficits, TO keep the
spark of hope from ever becoming extinguished
The fact that q street cleaner receives as much
money as fairly competent clerk is not and
should not necessarily be taken into considera-
ton by the citizen in white If he can legit-
mately convince those in charge of the city
treasury that he daily sweeps up more dollars
than he receives.

SEEING THE INEISIBLE.

Within the last few days the worlds auehlioh
has been directed to three impressive examples
Of the possibility Of acquiring knowledge oi oo-
ie,,ts or phenomena completely hidden from the
human eve. An astronomer has e&preSSeu the
belief thai beyond the orbit of the furthest plHel
+hare is another member of the solar system
He has not vet discovered IT. and II MS eApecta-
tion should be realized only q poWerlui teie-
scone would reveal it, Nevertheless, he Is SO
confident of its existence that he indicates tne
region in which 1t is likely to be detected
whether or not the prediction is to be verlnei'
+bara &c ar least an historical precedent for the
forecast AS we have already pointed out, the
reasoning adopted in the present INSTANCE Is
identical with that which led to the finding or
Neptune sixty years ago. 1t was the disturbing
influence exerted by some mysterious cause upon
the movements of Uranus, which is so remote as
10 be discernible only with instruments, that led
Adams and Eeverrer TO compute the positlon OF
the then invisible body. professional friend III
Germany complied with q request to explore the
snot with his glass. and found 1t IN the desig-
mated place, thus registering an amazing triumph
for celestial mechanics aud mathematics
Last saturday morning in a score of Observa-
tories in this country and Europe automatic
records were made of an earthquake Of notable
violence Seismoogy still being in its infancy,
the experts who examined this testimony were
unable to determine exactly where the centre OF
the disturbance was, but they were perfectly
convinced of two things-the shock was as severe
as the one which destroyed Messina last month
and if originated at least three thousand miles
from the places where its cipher messages were
received and interpreted. TO those who knew
how TO read the strange writing il was no less
significant than witnessing the yawning and
shuddering of the earth which told the story.
The third instance has left such powerful
IMPRESSION on the minds OF millions that it will
not soon be forgotten. Two steamships came
into collision off the coast of New England, and
in an instant many hundreds of men, women
and children were threatened with death by
drowning. BY new form of magic, which has
become available only in the last ten or twelve
years. the captain of one of the injured vessels
was enabled to summon aid and thus avert any
addition to the very small loss Of life resulting
from the immediate impact. But for this swift
communication, anonymously addressed both
ships might have gone to the bottom with every
one on board. and their fate might have re-
mained unknown for months. If not forever.
What is more the same marvellous agency for
revealing the unseen made possible q positive
assurance of safety hours before the rescued
passengers reached port. Thus not only was an
appalling danger successfully defed, but the
whole dramatic narrative of peril and rescue was
given to the world with celebrity before m-
known in the long annals of the sea.
