Meantime the project of a cut through the
isthmus is likely to be realized in another
'sexy. Attention has long boon turned to
tho San Jean route as a favorable one for
water communication between the Atlantic
and. Pacific, oceans. Lake Nicaragua and
the San Juan River almost out Central Am-
erica in two, the diatance between the lake
arid the Pacific being lees than twenty-nine
miles. The wonder is that this route hats
not been utilized long ago. The only objec-
tion to iteppeers to have been that it would
involve a canal with looks, while Da Les -
steps proposed. to have a tide water canal,
which, he had subsequently to Abandon for
one with locks and a somewhat uncertain
water supply at the summit, an objection
which does not hold good in the ease of the
Nicaragua route, where the supply of water
ia unlimited,
A Bill to authorize the construction of the
Nicaragua Canal hem been paosed by Con -
great:, and the matter. is now in the bands of
a private oompanea which proposes to un-
dertake the work under conceseions from
the States of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and
in pursuance of treaties entered into between
those republics and the United States. Very
careful surveys and estimates have been
made, the collapse of the Panama scheme
having taught the promoters that the utmost
care must be exercised.
The distance from ocean to ocean by the
proposed route is 169.8 miles, of whith 56a
miles is by lake, 84a miles by river, and only
28 8 by canal. The greatest out through
rock is three Miles long, with an average
depth of 120 feet. The length of the Pana-
ma Canal is about forty miles, all cr nearly
all of which would be cutting. Lake Nicara-
gua, which forms the summit, is deep and
unobstructed, has a watershed of 8,000
square miles, and with that portion of the
summib level in the San Juan river to the
east and the out to the weld will afford 152
miles of clear navigation. The principal
work in the river will be a dam 10500 feet
tong and sixty-five feet high, not so great a
etructure as the dem on our own Rideau
Canal at Jones' Falls, A reoent survey also
provides for a dam on the Pacifio side, which
will reduces the cutting to eight and one-
half miles through a low divide, and three
miles at the ocean level, or eleven and one-
half miles in all. The summit level will be
110 feet above the mean level of both ooeans,
and this will be reached by three locks on
the east end and a similar number on the
west The dimensions of the looks will be
650 x 70 x 30 feet allowing for the passage of
the largest vessels afloat.
The total cost of the work is estimated at
850,000,000, to which may be added $15,•
000,000 for contingencies, or $65,000,000 in
all, less than one,fourth what De Lesseps'
Panama Canal has already cost. The esti-
mated revenue is $8,000,009 a year, and the
cost of maintenance $1,000,000. Ib is
thought the work can easily be completed
by 1895.
The question of climate is an important
one in connection with this work. It will
be remembered thab great loss of lite oc-
curred in connection with the surveys and
construction of the Panama Railway, repeat-
ed, though to a somewhat lesser degree
swing to improved sanitary precautions,
during the progress of the Panama Canal.
The Nicaragua route appears to be entirely
free from those climatic oonlitions which
have proved so fatal at the Isthmus, and
dale circumstance will tell in its favour, not
only during construction, but in ita subse-
quent working.
The prospect, then, is that we will have a
Paireme, Canal, perhaps two, before many
years have elapsed, and that while De
fesoseps may not live to see his own scheme
(tarried to completion, he may survive to see

The Gill and the Ring,
"Did. you ever have a chance to observe,
unobserved, a young woman's conduct to.
ward her newly acquired engagement ring."
So asks a writer in the Washington (D.C.)
Press, 'who goes on :—It feels so atrango
upon her hand that she cannot !drain from
examining it a dozen times an hour, always,
however, on the sly. On the first night she
sits up an hour later than usual to admire
It boldly in the aeolusion of her awn apart-
ment. .A frequent kiss is administered to
the shining band and ita glittering gem, and
during the night she dreams thab it has fall-
en into a stream, and awakes, clutching the
finger to assure herself that the precious
pledge is still secure.
Then, the following day, she wears it only
secret, taking care totransfer it to her pock-
et at table and when in the company of in-
timates, but place her among strangers or
casual acquaintances who cannot be inquisi-
tive, and how bravdy will she flaunt the
token before their eyes as one who should
say :—
I may not be the loveliest creature in
the world, but you will observe that I get
there all the same."
Gradually it assumes its place in her
daily life, and her blushes grow less violent
with each succeeding explanation of its sig.
nificance and each extravagant description
of its donor's attributes. Bub before it fin-
ally becomes a part of herself, as it were,
she must, of course, leave it a dozen dines
at least upon the washstand, and suffer in
consequence a deem violent attacks of pal-
pitation of the heart until it is recovered.
An Enormous White Oak.
A short time ago a New York firmsent an
agent to Soottsburg, Ind., to purchase a
large valeite oak tree, which measured 27
i
feet n circumference. They bought the
tree for $75, and set to work to get out as
large a beard as possible. The tree was
felled and ripped up by means of a crosscut
saw. They got out one board that was
ten inches thick, five feet two and one-half
inches wide at the butt and four feet six and
one.half inches wide at the top, and 32 feet
long. This board was loaded upon a broad
tread waggon, to whioh two yoke of oxen
and eight horses were hitched, and it took
one whole day to remove it one and a half
miles. This was probably the largest
white oak tree in the United States.—Chi
