OfL0ve Is Given By Rousseau
u An Interview

Paris, June PA remarkable auto
graph letter Of Jean Jacques Rous.
seau, showing In q vivid light his
Views on the subject Of love, has Just
been made public in connection with
the Rousseau centenary, and is con.
sidered by the critics to be an i'm.
portar. addition to our knowledge Vt
the great philosopher. The let ,c
was written in 1850, the year in which
Nouvelle Heloise was published, and
is addressed to Deleyre. Comte de
Choiseuls secretary, who had just
become engaged to be married. 1t
runs as follows:
Dear Deleyre:
"YoI have made an idiotic mistake,
for II you continue to love, promise
is supernuous, while II you cease low.
ing II 10 useless, and you may
cause yourself the greatest embar.
rassment. But perhaps. your promise
has been paid for in spot cash. II
SO, I have nothing more to say. You
have signed It with your blood. That
Is almost tragic. However. I do not
know that the ink wherewith one
writ,,s makes any difference in the
faith Of the person who signs. quite
see that love makes children of phil.
osophers just as it does of the rest
Of us.
Without being your friend, my
dear Deleyre. have friendly feel
ing for you, and am alarmed at your
present condition. For heavens sake
consider that love is only an illusion,
and that one sees nothing as 1t really
Is when one loves"
II is pointed out as showing a cur.
ious trait in Rousseau's character that
the letter was written at Montmor-
ency, in the house in which Madame
Depiney, one Of his admirers. had
just built for him.

ing the tops to reduce the pressure
on the masses In motion, one steam.
shovel has been put at work near the
west side of the present channel, be-
tween the villages Of Cerro and Cule-
bra, to remove an extensive dump
made during the French excavation.
The grand total Of canal excavation
to June / was 170,93O.045 cubic yards,
leaving to be excavated 24,393, 1874 Gu.
bic yards, or less than one-eighth Of
the entire amount for the completed
canal. The total for May was 2,506, ,916
cubic yards.
The double track trestle on the west
breakwater at the Atlantic entrance
to the canal reached on June 1885

still to be constructed. Owing to long
delays due to lack of piling the fill
in the remaining part will be brought
up to Is feet, by dumping dredged
rock from scows. A single track trestle
will then be built for the remaining
distance and Porto Bello armor rock
dumped from 1t to five feet above sea
level. At the end of May S00.S3S GU
bic yards excavated by the steam shov'
els working In the quarries on Toro
point had been dumped on the break
water, 1,070,8S8 cubic yards had been
dumped by dredges and 57.76S cubic
yards of large rock from the Porto
Bello quarry had been placed. This
latter work is proceeding slowly on
account of the lack Of lidgerwood cars
at Porto Bello. The equipment now
In use at that point Is al narrow
gauge. which was used in furnishing
crushed rock. 1t is expected that q
number Of lidgerwoods will be re
leased In the central division and with
one or two additional steam shovels
the output at Porto Bello can be ma
terially increased. The second Of the
two derrick barges, built at Cristobal
dry dock especially for placing large
rock ON the breakwater. is practically
completed.
At the present time, large rock Il
lifted from the transportation bargei
to q train of lidgerwoOd cars, py
cranes. and then plowed OF on the
breakwater. The new derrick barge
will be placed in commission as soor
as the rock shipments are increased
The first test of lock gate air cham
bers proved satisfactory. The loweI
part of each leaf of the lock gates Is
watertight air chamber. SO that the
leaf will be buoyed up by the surround
ing water, reducing the weight on its
hinges and making 1t easier to move
In order to keep from lifting when the
gates are closed, the upper part has
holes on the side toward the upper
lock level to let water in and thus
weight the leaf down.
