One of these easteways, a sailor named Jor- gensen, was lomat fifteen months ago on the little speck known as Midway Island, where he had been abandoned, by hisshipmates, wise lodeed upon him as a desperate and danger - 00s person.

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 it care d out effect bywhat w b ze 0 may 110 regarded as a rival ptojeot.

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 cago Tribune. Pardonable Under the Ciroumstanoes, First Cynio--" Jones leas filed an appli- cation for a divorce at last.
