An Isthmian canal seems now assured. By the ratification of the treaty with Panama by the United States Senate on February 25 the country has been commit- i y ted to a recognition of a fact and Iiaa been placed in a path from which there can be no withdrawal. -'And" now, though private e.nter- . .....

The long-continued efforts to pierce the narrow link of land which binds the Americans togeth er have been marked by financial and engineering failures, by busi '; Best? and political scandals and by - bitter controversy between the ad vocates' of the various proposed ; routes across the isthmus.

So far as sci ence has been able to reveal' their mysteries al) are blazing suns simi lar to our sun,' but in various sta ges of development; with satelitcs or worlds revolving around them. Those worlds, if we may call them such, being chiefly dark bodies; that is, bodies that shine only by reflected light as our earth or the moon does. In some instances there are double suns, so called because the two are near together, and they are often of different colors. As the eye glances from star to stars it passes over large' fields of blue ether apparently vacant. With a low telescopic power you will often find those spaces stud dedwith stars, perhaps a nebula, or a magnificent cluster of stars of many shades of color. Increase your telescopic power to 600,1000 or more, and each step reveals stars still farther away than the preceding jover gave you. Then the great Yerkeu or Lick telescopes with the most powerful glasses in use, bring still more stars into view. When you have seen all that the telescope can show, add the photographic lens to its powers, and other stars, universes in various stages of de velopment, will be shown to occu py apace still farther on, yet we have not reached the boundary of space. It is only that our powers of vision are limited with all its aids; that we cannot see more. We cannot conceive of a limit to space; it is intinito vastness; as thei Heavenly bodies that occupy it are to us infinite in numbers and in distance. There can be no lim it Who can comprehend the dis tance of our north-pole-star, whose light darting through space at the infinite speed of ISO, 000 feet per second, takes 21 years to reach the earth, while light conies to us from our sun in eight minutes? And yet many of the stars seen through the telescope may be many times far ther away than our north stan, The great Astroiiow tails lis that tlin lujy EASTERN WAR NEWS tlaparwM Landing Troopi In Korea. Vladivostock, Wednesday, Mch. 2 via St. Petersburg According to information received here, forty Japanese transports escorted by the entire navaKfleet, have lieen energetically landing troops in Ko rea at Fusan and Chemulpo! From the fact that the Japanese fleet is thus employed it is felt that no immediate attack upon Vladivo stoek on Port 'Arthur will beniade. The reported landing of 2,.r.0O Japanese at Song Chin, Plaksin Bay, on the east const of Korea, has been confirmed. Vladivostock Bombarded. Vladivostok, March Outside of killing a woman andwounding a few men yesterday's bombard ment of Vladivostok by the, Jaiw nese fleet did no material damage.

The Easter number of the New Idka Woman's Maga.isk is a gal axy of bright contributions, which are, at the same time, prncticul hints to the home-staying woman Among the special articles; "Au tomobiling for Men and Women'' tells the proper costume for those who indulge in this popular sport. There is another of those import taut papers on "Psycho-Physical Culture," telling a woman how she may preserve her beauty; and "A Word for the Easter Bride" is full of good, sound counsel to the nov ice in housekeeping.
