China Shows Advancement.

A curious superstition, prevalent for centuries in China. will no longer be officially recognized. The Picking astronomical board presented a memo rial to the prince regent recently, re- porting a forthcoming eclipse of the moon and recommending the perform ance of the usual ceremonies. The memorial was rejected. On the oc casion of eclipses of the sun or moon 1t has for centuries been customary in China for everybody, down to the meanest subject, to let off hfecrack- CTS and cause gongs to be beaten for frightening of the monster which Is supposed to be swallowing the lumin. ary. and for every mandarin holding office to burn candles and incense and prostrate himself before the darkening orb.

It is now nearly 400 years since the first proposal was made for the Pa mama canal. A canal was suggested as early as 1920 by Angel Saavedra. out for a long time all such sugges. tions met with determined opposition from Spain, who made it capital of. fense to seek or make known any i'm. provement on the existing route from Porto Bello to Panama. More recent ly Louis Napoleon. when a prisoner at Ham, spent much time considering the practicability of such scheme. : It was not, however, until the Cali. fornia gold rush of 1S49 that any ac. curate knowledge of the topogra phical conditions was obtained, and even then 30 more years elapsed before the actual site was chosen by an interna. tional commission and the work be. gun.
