The Swamp Angel" was a solitary
gun of. great capacity which threw,
with regularity-or tried to throw
shells from Morris Island. some five
miles distant, into the city of
Charleston 1t has passed into ira
dition as one of the sensational Incl
dents of the Civil War. At the time
met General Serrell any one who,
not knowing his age, had seen him
as | did in his office much occupied
with business affairs, mentally alert
and physically vigorous, would have
been likely to say that he might be
about go years of age. | had heard
that General Serrell was greatly in
terested in the proposition, then
strongly agitated, of constructing a
canal across the Panama isthmus; in
fact. taking up the work where De
Lesseps, the French engineer, had
left 1t.
"As an engineer and one. too. ia
miliar with the isthmus of Panama,
for | aided in the survey of the
Panama railroad line, | am frank
to say that | think better choice
could be made than the Panama 18TH
mus for an ocean-to-ocean canal"
said the old engineer
"1'o my thinking, the ideal geo.
graphical and physical conditions for
an artificial waterway capable of
floating vessels of any draft, are
those which are to be found further
down on the Central American pc
ninsula than the Panama group.
LAS an American citizen, and es-
pecially one who has sentimental in
terests in the Panama isthmus, | can
not help feeling some sense of pride
that the United States will in all
probability build a canal across this
isthmus. I think work will be begun
by authority of Congress upon the
Panama canal within two or three
years.
But I am speaking to you now
from the point of view of an engineer
and a man of science when ] say
that the ideal conditions for tide
water or sea-level canal are to be
found hundred or more miles south
of the Panama isthmus
There is only one obstacle to very
economical construction of the cana
at that place and that Is mountain
of almost solid rock which stands
about half way between the Gulf OF
Mexico and the Pacific coast.
MY plan as an engineer would be-
to cut tunnel directly through tina
mountain. 1t would have to be higf
enough and broad enough to permit
any steamship or sailing vessel to &c
| through. But when / speak Of thi'

grewsome tale of horror, "Franken-
stein" The hero of the tale, young
medical student, creates out of the
various materials of the dissecting
room monstrous creature, who, en-
dowed with life, but deprived of
human society because of his frightful
appearance. murders a friend of the
student and strangles the students

Shelley eloped with Mary two years
before the death of his first wife, and
for the next eight years, until the
poets death, they were seldom sepa-
rated, Mary displaying the greatest
devotion. Shelley, on the whole, in
spite of minor differences. was con-
siderate, but, as he puts it, some of
us have loved in Antigone in a
previous stage of existence and can
find no full content in any mortal tie"

folks are inclined to laugh at me,
saying that II would be absurd to try
to cut a tunnel hundred and fifty
feet high and perhaps hundred feet
wide straight through a mountain.
II know that 1t would not be alb
surd, and [ know from my experience
as an engineer in the cutting of one
of the great American tunnels, that
under Hoosac mountain in Massachu-
sets. For If ii Is possible to cut a
tunnel five miles in length directly
through a mountain, as was done at
Hoosac, it ought to be possible to cut
n tunnel of that length which has a
height of hundred and fifty feet.
with a tunnel of that kind true
sea-level canal only about twenty-five
miles in length could be constructed
at very much less cost than the build
ing of the canal across the Panama
isthmus would entail.
But ] am satisfied that the United
States is to take up the abandoned
French Panama canal proposition and
complete it. Now / want to indulge
in Just one prediction--the building of
canal across the Panama isthmus is
sure to develop the South American
nations enormously. After a genera
ton or so, South America will be rich
enough to undertake the construction
of n new canal across the Central
American isthmus, and | venture to
say that by the middle of the present
century the South American nations
Will unite upon a canal proposition
and will select the route which | have
just described to you. The people of
the North American continent GER
tainly cannot reasonably object if the
people of the South American con-
tinent decide to build a canal across
the lower part of the isthmus, which
Is, in fact, a part of South America"

rely on his own judgment, who looks
to others for advice, and is afraid to
go ahead on his own initiative.
1t is the man with a positive ma
ture, the man who believes that he is
equal to the emergency, who believes

If we analyze great achievements
and the men who accomplish them,
the most prominent quality in evil
dence is self confidence. The man
with absolute faith in his ability to
do what he undertakes is the most
likely to succeed, even when such con-
lidence seems to outsiders audacious,
IL not foolhardy. IT is not alone the
subjective effect of this belief in

get results; it is also largely the effect

soon taught to dance by her older
sister. who was a professional
danseuse, and proved to be such a
clever little pupil-her ability as a
child being positively marvellous
that she was soon receiving fifty
francs, of SO. a month, which was
enough in those days to pay for a
childs living.
Throughout Dejazets life she re-
tanned the charm and grace that she
displayed so early. Her famous roles
were first soubrette parts and later
the parts of young men. SO success
full was she in these two types of
parts that for many years, in the

of the young man and of the soubrette
in play were known simply as the
dejazets.
