Sat urday Morning, Nov. 16. 1895 THE TWO CANALS. A report comes from Washington that President Cleveland will in his forthcoming message recommend the construction of the Nicaragua canal and the extension of aid by this Government, but will qualify the re commendation by suggesting that we invite the co operation ot Great Britain. It is very likely that he will recommend the extension of Gevernment assistance to this great enterprise, under proper safeguards, as he is understood to be friendly to it, but it is hardly likely that he will suggest the co-operation of Great Britain or of any other European power. Our opinion is that having failed by her scheming to kill this enter prise her co-operation can be very easily secured if solicited by this Government, for she would thus se cure a proprietary interest in the canal, the very thing her representa tive men have been playing for ever since they came to the conclu sion they could neither kill it nor prevent its construction under American auspices. The idea of co operation was suggested some time ago by a leading London paper, the Times, we think it was, and English capitalists would much prefer to put their money in this canal than in the Panama ditch, in which $200,000,000 have been sunk, and where less than half the work has been done, and that the easiest part of it. They may cut a canal across the isthmus from Panama to Colon, for digging dirt and blasting rock is only a question of labor and money, but constructing a canal that will be practically successful, which will an swer the purpose for which It is in tended and can be kept in condition without spending more money on it than it can ever earn, that is another matter. As we understand it, part of the plan is to utilize the Chagres river, one of the , wild est and most ungovernable streams on either continent, a very well behaved stream at low water but a terror in the rainy sea sonsand when it rains in that neck of land it does rain. Then the Cha gres tumbles down and carries every thing but the rocks with it. It looks more like a torrent of liquid clay than water, and that's about what it Is. It is proposed to dredge this channel and carry ships by lifts at the locks, which will have to be as strong as the rock ribs that keep the river in to prevent the rushing waters from carrying them away. If the canal were practicable there is no respectable harbor on either side, for there is no harbor for deep draft vessels at Colon, and on the other side Panama is practically on the open sea, with no harbor protect tion for ships. The sea is so shallow there that vessels of ordinary draft must anchor a long distance from the town, and none would think of remaining longer at anchor than ab solutely necessary. The only reason wc sec ior selecting tnat as a route for a canal was because the isthmus is narrow there and they thought they might utilize the Cha gres river. Numerous reports have been made on the Nicaragua route aad its feasi bility has never been called into question. Several surveys have been made, and while some have favored some variations in the line as now mapped, there is a general agreement between them as to the essential fea tures. There is also some difference as to the estimates of the cost, the figures varying from $60,900,000 to $100,000,000, very few going over theldtter figures. There is alto getber about sixty miles of excava ting to be done through a country easy in comparison with the rocky barriers on the Panama route, most o: the route being through rivers and lakes where some dredging only wil be necessary and where much of the way gives water deep enough to bear the deepest draft ocean vessels. In addition to this, while the Panama Canal will be all salt water, most of i 1 W ask. r ,K ei for tii Kno this canal will be fresh water, and it is estimated that the advantage this gives vessels in cleaning their bulls of the sea water adhesions, insects, &c, will more than balance the cost of toll-in passing through the canal. With a little dredging Greytown can be made one of the best harbors on that coast, and we believe there is good harbor on the Pacific side, certainly as good if not better than Panama, and with all that it is sev eral hundred miles nearer to both our Atlantic and Pacific ports than the Panama canal would be if com pleted. These are all considerations of importance in comparing these two routes and good reasons, why we should not be lured into indifference by any talk of completing the Pana ma project, which, inE our opinion, never will be completed, but will be abandoned just as soon as it is an established fact that this Govern ment is to take hold of the Nicara gua canal, or that American enter prise and capital will build it, if the Government fail to take an interest in it. - Feeling sure that it will be built through American agencies and-that tt can be so built, we don't want to see any foreign power have a hand in it, which v would mean a voice in its control, but more especially Eng land, which is our greatest commer cial rival, "and to compete with which is one of the minor reasons why this canal is so unanimously favored by the people of this coun try. England worked in after the Suez canal became a success and se cured a controlling voice in that, and she will do the same thing with the Nicaragua canal If she gets half a chance. It must be an American canal, controlled by Americans. MINOR MENTION. We sympathize with the supersti lion-ridden people of pagan coun tries who bow before their idols, and even with the people of some Chris tian countries who are not as far ad vanced as we think they should be in religious enlightenment, but with all our educational and other opportuni ties to get above the level there is an immense amount of superstition, or blind faith in men who assume ex traordinary personalities, and profess to possess miraculous powers, which is confined to no particular class of people and to no particular section, Some time ago a so-called Messiah named Swinefurth made his appear ance in Illinois; thousands of people flocked to see and hear him, and many believed that he was really what he professed to be. He talked of establishing a new Jerusalem in Illinois or somewhere else, and might possibly have carried out his scheme if he hadn't gotten into legal complications and wound up in jail Shortly after that we had a colored "Messiah" in Georgia, who was soon followed by a colored "Virgin Mary," who drew immense crowds of colored people and set them crazy. Their "mission" was ended by both going to the insane asylum, although they were no more crazy than hundreds of the people who bllowed and believed in them. These are not isolated instances; there -are others of the same kind, the latest being the mysterious man Schlatter, who came unheralded out of New Mexico, and who for several weeks has been drawing thousands of people to Denver, Col., who came to be healed by this man who came from "the Father." He didn't pro fess to heal by his own power, but "blessed" handkerchiefs and left the result with "the Father." He didn't do it for money, for it does not ap pear that he took up collections, though doubtless some of the cured" in their gratitude made donations, though there is no men tion of this, but the thousands who went to him believed in him, and pitied others who refused to believe. The other night he left as mysteri ously as he came, and left sorely disappointed thousands who had come to be healed. The Indian has his "medicine man" who cures bv incantations, and we pity the guile less innocence of the untutored son of the wild. But the Indians have no "Messiahs." According to the November report of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, the grain crop this year is the largest ever produced in this coun try, with the exception of 1891. The total is placed at 3,527,279.600 bushels, against 2,435,919,000 for last year, divided as follows: wheat, 423,945,000 bushels; corn 2,158,400,- 000; oats 825,494,000; rye 27,081,- 000; barley 87,051,000; buckwheat 15,308,600, making an aggregate ex tcss oi j.,vyi,3ou, euu bushels over the crop of last year. The only crop which shows a falling off is wheat, which is 36,322,000 bushels less than last year. All other crops show large increase, especially corn, which is nearly double the yield of last year. The potato crop and apple crop are also extraordinarily larze, This means plenty to eat, but as far as the farmer is concerned it means low prices and that he will not real ize any more if as much for what he has to market as he did last year, al though the prices were not high men. as k must be marketed, how ever, or go to waste, it means more work for the railroads and for others who handle the crops, so that aside from cheaper food for the masses, a great many will be benefitted by the large crops, although the growers will not nee mucn clear cash out of them. The Populist party Is in the "sere and yellow i leaf." In the recent elections it was demonstrated that it will have no showing whatever next year. In Mississippi the Pops., even with Republican aid, aia nor. carry a single county, while in Kentucky i..v nnlv elected two ot tne loo lJ J - members of the Legislature. Their weakness will be shown in North Carolina in the elections of 1896. Thousands of them will come back to the Democratic party; other thou sands will vote for the straightout free silver candidate for President who will be nominated if the Demo- cratic national : convention aeciare . . J -1 - for a sinffle cold standard; while v o a majority of those who have been Republicans will return to their old love in the belief that the G. v. r. will sween the country. There will SJI WVf be no fusion between the Republi cans and Populists in North Caro lina on the Presidential ticket; and the fusion on the State and county tickets will be so far from complete that the Democrats will probably have an even chance of carrying the State, though much depends on the action of the Democratic national convention.

Professor Klossovsty of the University of Odessa, having made a special study of thunderstorms, has published a chart show ing the distribution of such storms over the known surface of the globe. It was already known that thunderstorms aro rare in high latitudes and unknown above 75 deccrees north. The electrical activity of the earth near the poles seems to find vent in auroral displays. In Europe the frequency of thunderstorms increases as the observer moves southward, and there Is a somewhat irregular line of greatest frequency encircling the globe near the equator. The numoer lessens as one moves southward from the equator, but not so rapidly as in moving northward from that line, and the region of strong auroral ac tivity is much narrower in the southern hemisphere than in the northern. The frequency of tempests decreases rapidly in going north or south from the equator in the interior of the continents. There is a line of demarcation between the region of frequent and the region of rare tempests, extending from the southwest to the northeast. In the desert of Africa and over Persia and the great area of central Asia'thunderstorms are infrequent, the total number in a given locality not ex ceeding five or six annually. There is a zone with a mean of five to ten tempests annually enveloping the northern part of European Russia, the southern part of the Scandinavian peninsula and Great Britain. while at the extreme northwest of the Scandinavian peninsula and in Siberia the mean descends to one, and even none. In the American. continent the number of tempests increases regularly in ap proaching the equator, though here, as in Europe and Asia, there are marked irregu larities in certain regions. Africa, save at points on the coast, is peculiarly free from tempests. The maximum is reached in the Bight of Benin. At Lima, Peru, light ning is never seen. Here, however, earth quakes are of almost daily occurrenoe, and there seems to be a law that in countries subject to earthquakes thunderstorms are rare, or perhaps more accurately, where thunderstorms are unknown earthquakes are frequent. At Leon and Guanajuato, Mexico, however, there are from 140 to 150 thunderstorms in the year. . Professor Klossovsky finds that the fre quency of thunderstorms in a given region depends somewhat upon the conductivity of the soil. Where the soil is a good con ductor the electrical activity is easily dis tributed without violence. Limestone regions are subject to thunderstorms be cause the soil' is not a good conductor of electricity. He notes also that in the old world, in latitude 62 degrees to 64 degrees north, thunderstorms are more frequent than in the same latitudes of the new world. At the same time the region of auroral ac tivity Is broader in the new world than in the old. Trying It 6a. Tom (disappointed in love Well, this settles it.

Their Scientiuo Expedition to the Alps About Forty Tears Afo. In 1856 -we made an expedition to Switzerland, whioh" had;; a large in fluence on Tyndall's future. In 1845 I had my first viow of a glaoier at the head of the Lao de Gaube in the Pyrenees, and when ten years later I -was led to interest myself serious ly in ceology in conneotion with the study of fossils I read all I could lay hands on about these curious rivers of ice. At the same timeTyndall was occupied with his important in vestigations into the effects of pres sure, in giving rise to lamination, and I naturally heard a good deal about what he was doing. It struck me that his work might throw some light upon the production of the veined structure of glaoier ice, and one day when he waa dining with us I mentioned the notion that had come into my head. The upshot was that we then and there agreed .to go and look into the facts of the case for ourselves. More suo, he would have nothing to do with speo ulation till that essential preliminary operation had been effected. To Switzerland accordingly we went, and I joined him at the Montanvert, where he had taken up his quarters with Dr. Hirst, who was, I think, the closest of his friends. In our time there was nothing but a rough mountain auberge, opposite to which on the glaoier side of the road was a hut for guides. Into this .Tyndall moved his bed, as he could not bear the noise of the wooden house. Accommodation and fare were of the roughest. Our chef was a singularly dirty woman, who met all our suggestions about dinner with a monotonous "C'est ca," as if the stores of a Parisian restaurant were at her disposal, while practically our repasts were as uniform as her speech. But as we used to start for the Jardin or other of the higher regions early and rarely returned much before sunset there was no lack of hunger sauce, while the con diment which gives herbs a better flavor than stalled oxen abounded. Tyndall's skill and audacity as a climber were often displayed in these excursions. On one occasion, I remember, we came upon a per pendicular cliff of ice of considerable height formed on the flank of the glacier, which seemed to present a good opportunity for the examina tion of tho structure of the interior. A hot sun loosening them, the stones on the surface of the glacier every now and then rattled down the face of the cliff. As no persuasion of ours could prevent Tyndall from as cending the cliff by cutting steps with his ax in order to get a close view of . the ice, we had to content ourselves with the post assigned to us of looking out for stones. When over any of theso seemed likely to shoot too close, we shouted, and Tyndall flattened himself against the cliff. Happily no harm ensued, but I confess I was greatly relieved when my friend descended at his own pleasure and not at that of ahance fragment of rock. The love for Alpine scenery and Alpine climbing, which remained with Tyndall to the last, began or at any rate became intensified into a passion with this journey, and at the same time ho laid tho founda tions of his well known and highly important work upon glaciers apd glacier movement. His first paper on this subject was presented to the Eoyal society in 1857 and bears my name as well as his own in spite of all my protests to tho contrary, for beyond two or three little observa tions and perhaps some criticism I contributed nothing toward it, and all that is important,; is Tyndall's own. But ho was singularly scrupu lous, even punctilious, on points of scientifio honor. It would have been intolerable to him to have it sup posed that he had used, even sugges tions of others without acknowledg ment, so I, being thicker skinned, put up with the possibility of being considered a daw in borrowed plumes. Huxley in Nineteenth Cen tury. A Good Woman. A bright young American girl spent last summer with her parents in England. Her father was much interested in charitable work and visited many institutions for the poor and aged on the trip. Most of these buildings, particularly in the provinces, have a square piece of marble inserted in the bricks over the front entrance, giving the year of its building. The little girl read many of these and one day said, "Papa, I think Anno Domini must have been an awfully good woman to have built all these houses for the poor. New York Herald.

There was, for in stance, Miss Phoebe Brown of Matlock, England, as noted by William Hutton in 1801. Her common dress was a man's hat, ooat, with a spencer above it, and men's shoes. She could lift a hundredweight with either hand and carry 14 stone. Her voice was more than masculine; it was deep toned, and, the wind in her face, she could send it a mile. Yet she had no beard. She could sew, knit, cook, spin, but hated them all. She accepted any kind of manual labor, but her favorite avoca tion was breaking in horses at a guinea a week. She was an excellent judge of a cow and shot accurately with a gun. Her chief food was milk, and she was fond of Milton, Pope and Shakespeare. This ad mirable female also performed neatly on the flute, violin, harpsichord " and bass viol. She could cover easily 40 miles a day, and when a gentleman at the New Bath treated her rudely she said that "she had a good mind to havo knocked him down." New York Tribune. The Vesuvius Path.
