Volcanoes and the Isthmian Cmi,iI.
It la not aurprlslui, that the late d-
. structlve volcanic couvulalona on Mar-
Unique and St Vlncnit ahould have
. brought out vigorous warnings from
eertalu quarter aRulnnt im Isthmian
' canal over the propositi Nicaragua
route, which we are told is lu the very
center of the volenuie nud seismic
, jbelt . When these warnings vouie from
ome promotera of a syndicate that
baa acquired an Intereat In the Fana
ma canal who are anxious to dlgposj
v of the aame to the United Statea for a
consideration, they excite no wonder.
though they may indicate a motive of
sordid ' calculation.- When, however.
persona notoriously hostile to any ca
. tint whatever draw up the awful cata
logue of the ."eruptions, quaklngs, cat
actysnis and catastrophes that have
shaken and torn Nicaragua and Costa
Rica since the duwn of history. In con-
trast with the lovely peace and Iran
qullllty of the I'unama region," the fa-
; miliar policy of employing the remote
; project to kill oft the one that la near
; and Imminent Is distinctly revealed,
The Isthmian canal commission.
whose members have doubtless given
s careful and competent study to the
question as the eminent gentlemen
who. owning and controlling transcon
tinental railroads, are sounding so loud
an alarm against "the folly of building
a canal under the belching craters that
stud the Nicaragua route, reported
that from the period of the Spanish
conquest down to the present time
there have been fourteen seismic and
volcanic convulsions In the vicinity of
, the Nicaragua and twenty-eight In the
ranama region. Touching the earth-
' quake risk of the Nicaragua route, the
. ccmmlsslonrsald In Its report:
1 It Is possible and even probable that the
more accurately fitting portions of the ca-
: nal. such as the lock sates, may at time
be distorted by earthquakes, and some In
convenience may result therefrom. Thai
contingency may be classed with the ac-
, cldental collisions of ships with the gates
and is to be provided (or In the name
- way by duplicate gates. It is possible
also that a Assure might open which
would drain the canal and If It remulned
open might destroy It. This possibility
ahould not be erected by the fancy Into a
threatening danger. If a timorous Imag
ination Is to be the guide, no great work 1
can be undertaken anywhere. This risk
mar be classed with that of a great con-
- flagratlon In a city, like that of Chicago
in un or Boston in 1ST! .
It la the opinion of the commission that
such danger as exists, from earthquakes
is essentially the same for both the Nica-
rajrua and Panama routes and that in
neither case is It sufficient to prevent the
construction of the canal i
Of course the human mind , cannot
forecast ' the convulsions of nature
.which may occur In the future either
In Nicaragua or ranama or elsewhere
on the earth, though it would seem
' that the recent eruptions in the Lesser
Antilles were being rather overworked
by the opponents of the isthmian canal
project. -
HERE ia no doubt in my mind that wireless teleg
raphy will be a great commercial success.) (It Ja a
'mistake to call it wireless telegraphy, for the water
acta as a wire with salt water very much better than
fresh water. These messages will hare a field entirely
... their own, and for oceanic messages between fixed
points on land the cable will always be superior ,
tH U
WIRELESS MESSAGES MAY BE SENT ACROSS THE
OCEAN, BUT THE, WORK WILL BE NECESSARILY SLOW.
THE WIRELESS SYSTEM CAN NEVER COMPETE WITH
THE CABLES IF THE CABLES ARE DEVELOPED TO
THEIR HIGHEST EFFICIENCY. The cables certainly are not
so developed today. It would be possible for cable messages to be
sent at the rate of 1,000 words a minute instead of the very alow
method of today. "
, t i
The Marconi system will compel cable companies to lay new
cables which can send messages without delay end with great rapidity.
When such cables are laid, there will be no competition between
them and any wireless system. This is duo to the fact that the
wireless message is not concentrated, but is weakened by being scat
tered. It goes everywhere, and is not picked up until it strikes a
current attuned to the same number of vibrations.
.. t t .vi;
There is an infinito number of points on the scale of inductance,
and it is possible to so adjust two wires that they may receive mes
sages from each other at this infinity of attunements. This would
make it extremely difficult for a hostilo operator to pick up a wireless
message. Suppose two fleets of battleships were enemies, If I was
talking to one of my own fleet and the enemy sought to get the
message, it would take them A long time to catch the attunement,
and by the time the enemy could catch the tune, 'so to speak, it
would be changed to another. The value of the Marconi system vti)
lie in the communication with ships on the ocean. There will be
tremendous business along just this line.
- :,.: ' t' at,'. ; ' ? !? '
'WIRELESS MESSAGES CAN NEVER, BE 8ENT AT GREAT DIS
TANCES , )N LAND. THE LAND IS A VERY POOR CONDUCTOR.
AND ALL OP THESE ME8SAGES GO RIGHT ON THE SURFACE
OF THE LAND OR WATER. NOT MORE THAN A FEW INCHES
BELOW THE SURFACE AT MOST. I DOUBT WHETHER SUCH
MESSAGES COULD BE SENT FROM NEW YORK TO PHILADEL
PHIA, FOP EXAMPLE.

It Is stated in London that tr. Conar

These atmospheric poisons are breathed into the lungs and taken up
by the blood, and the foundation of some long, debilitating illness is laid.
Chills and fever, chronic dyspepsia, torpid and enlarged liver, kidney
troubles, jaundice and biliousness are frequently due to that invisible foe,
Malaria. Noxious eases and unhealthv matter collect in the system because
the liver and kidneys fail to act, and are poured into the blood current until 1
it Decomes so polluted ana smggisa tnat me poisons literally breaK tnrough
the skin, and carbuncles, boils, abscesses, ulcers and various eruptions of an
indolent character appear, depleting the system, and threatening life itself.
The germs and poisons that so oppress and weaken the body and destroy
the life-giving properties of the blood, rendering it thin and watery, must
be overcome and carried out of the system before the patient can hope to
get rid of Malaria and its effects. '
